  1. Get rid of those "window glasses" on front and back. And there's already a Fiat 500 in Review stage: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/ca5c345e-bdae-4c3c-bc4b-05fb6b522f0f
  2. Aha, It seems that you will have to rebuld it, because most of those links are made on 2L axles, and they will be pulled out under weight of the model and force from the servo. You have two options, personally I'd go for a standard solution with 13L racks and different length of each steering arm, used in 42009: Second option is staying with 7L rack and trying to achive ackerman steering, but that will be alittle bit more complicated. Those steering rack can't work at angle, they must slide perpendicularly to the frame.
  3. Could you post picture of chassis without wheels?
  4. Judging by spacing between point where wheel turn and steering link connects to the rack, it goes sideways when chassis turns, right? And you are using axle connectors, which will disconnect very quickly with greater load applied.
  5. It could work with 10 instructions sold. But how about 100 or 500? :)
  6. This is the new level of something that is discussed here - there are even no instruction, yet they still try to steal it. That's sad :(
  7. Well, most of the flagships. Each one had that something-something inside, which make them interesting. 8275 started all that Power Functions powered madness, a must have for me. 42030 was a fully remote operated wheel loader. 8043 had 6 motorized functions driven by three motors (and fourth switching the internal gearboxes) 42009 was biggest and most complicated crane to date. 42043 had many pneumatic parts,m including new long cylinders. 8258 was one of the best looking Technic t rucks to date (and had interesting mechanism for driving two functions trough one turntable). Personally I'd reccomend also a 42008 tow truck, for its complexicity, and 8109 Flatbed, for marvelous lifting fork and great designed lowering of the tow ramp.
  8. Was? It is still quite popular ;) Nice model, but I'd go for a low loader trailer.
  9. There's nothing more needed for LED lights than 6 wires :D
  10. I have idea for complete C model, truck and trailer, I will try to build it before 2018 ends.
  11. It may be another panel based Technic car, but those rear lights made from carrot tops are just brilliant!
  12. The problems lies here. Exactly here. WHY should I, if I just want to point out what is wrong AND how to improve it? Every time I find a flaw in the model, I also give ideas for improvement (resizing, other parts usage etc). It is not empty talking. I do not like to be forced to do anything, so trying to write another "great model nonetheless, keep bricking" does not suits me. I know many builders and none ever complained about that style of commenting, because I just keep it short and simple. That's the reason why do not write posts too often here, becuase every time I try to suggest something, I get replies that it is harsh and I should write also what I like in the model. Eh...
  13. And what happens when someone is trying to tell what is wrong with the model? ;)
  14. As a freestyle model it looks great, powerfull. But as you can see it was named Liebherr LTM 1060? Does it look like this?
  15. It really would look better built in smaller scale, because now it looks like few pieces mixed together. You have big off road chassis, tiny outriggers suitable for cherry picker and thin boom, that does not match the scale of the model. Actually, it looks like some russian crane trucks or specialized oilfield machinery:
  16. Could you post a picture of real machine? I think that these gaps could be removed.
  17. There is nothing better than metal hook: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=70644&name=Technic Hook Large Metal&category=[Technic]
  18. You are talking about that axle that holds bevel gear that drives differential?
  19. Maybe, but PF were not a game changer like PUP, because it was still more or less compatible with 9V than PUP. Only thing you needed was a extension wire, now the whole system is redesigned from scratch. Funny thing is that 9V had two wires, PF added another two. Now with PUP we have additional two, so next generation of LEGO electronics will have eight wires? ;)
  20. You decided to build the loader, or did it just evolved trough building process?
  21. It looks more like LTL 1160 with missing axle:
  22. Well, I'd rather have plug&go solution right from the box. It is not a good thing when something is downgraded. Buwizz offers much more within similiar dimensions.
  23. That's how differential works.
