    OMG! That is truly freaking cool. Amazing design, well done! :thumbup: Great skill in driving too!

    Stunning car! I totally love it! Great job, especially those doors. :thumbup:

    I love the older stuff! My chassis from now on will include a combination of both old and new. As stated above, mixing the old and new to get the best from both is the only way to get the strongest yet lightest chassis and nice curves for body work.

    Awesome hot rod! This looks too cool! I'm a big fan of your work too.

    Stunning model! The engine detail is incredible. My only criticism is it doesn't say "Subaru" to me, My first impression was of an Evo. hehe. Subarus WRX's generally have more rounder lights which are harder to do certainly. Great moc, thanks for sharing!

    Looks totally sweet! :thumbup: Considering the lineup of small scale models available this year I'm interested in this one! I think making a moc like this available is a great idea. I'm also looking at the fact that most of us have the basic building blocks for mocs of our own, but starting the hobby one might find lacking in the PF department. A small moc that offers full PF setup is awesome! Great job man.

    Looks awesome! Very cool and great proportions. I loved that game too, any word on the a new one, or did I miss it? :) Do you know the part names for those great dials you used?
  8. Doc_Brown
    This is awesome! Reminds me of something from Thunderbirds! haha.

    This looks awesome man! :thumbup: Can't wait.

    Magnificent! :thumbup: Fantastic looks and great performance with so many functions packed it, awesome. I like the position of the servo as it kinda looks like an engine cover, and fits in well. The wheel arches have deff grown on me too. I would love to see some more detailed pics of the XLs, hehe. Anyways great job man, well worth the effort!

    This is so cute! I'm glad you changed the back tray to grey, balances the whole design nicely. Great job.

    Yeah sure wish I had done red now! Would have made it stand out a bit more, oh well. :) Yes you do! I found it helps with the PP wheels when the suspension is pressed down, not that this moc can crawl tho! haha

    Hi Everyone! Just a quick post with my latest experiment, amphibious Lego Technic Truck. Its' performance was defiantly an improvement in the water, but its off road capabilities were less than desirable. I'm going to try crawler tires on PP rims with this moc and see if it is better, but that's for tomorrow. Enjoy, and thanks for 600+ subscribers on my youtube channel.
  14. Doc_Brown
    Yes this is true, how long you have depends on the rim. for example, the blue rim above doesnt have a lil hole in it so is good in that matter but the tires don't stay on too well. PP rims seem to be the best I have used so far, but are very heavy. Crawler and unimog rims have a little hole and need tape put over them. And when I made the rolligon I used 4 rubber bands on each wheel inside the little groves. I tested this over night in the bath and only a few drops of water got inside. My next test will be crawler tires on PP rims. I'm hoping they will provide the best results

    Welcome to EB! Thanks for sharing, looks pretty cool. I think the foam body could have been a little better with the stickers covering the edges tho. Or one set of sides cut shorter to counter the thickness of the foam so you don't see the edges.
  16. Doc_Brown
    hahahah, cheers! Thank you! I liked it too. Wow thanks for the vote of confidence, but I have never even heard of that! Crazy, wouldn't it kill the fishes, or at least ruin their sense of direction? LOL

    "I have never spent $240 on a set just for the wheels." "I do not have a 6" model wheelie bin, full of pins with a sticker on it saying 'PIN BIN' "I never mix water and electricity" "I have never said I miss my parents and organize a get together just to go into the attic and look though old boxes....." "I never swear when my fingers get caught in a high torque gearbox" "CV joints are cool" "differentials are even cooler" "I have never washed used Lego Technic for 48 hours after watching a video of a moc that picks up cat poop"

    Ahh good to know! Cheers, no chance of making a submarine then, ahha. I believe that is correct, and makes sense, adding more air pressurized will make it sink more. What if you could fill the tank with really really hot air, and then in room temp or even in water it would contract creating more of a vacuum no? I'm just guessing. Also just had the idea to use the air tank on a lever, when in the water the airtank would push the lever up and that could be used to push the props into the water deeper? what do you think guys? :)

    This is freaky sweet! Great job man! :thumbup: I really like the design and functions, and your steering setup is fantastic. an awesome car, from indeed the best by gone era! Any chance of a vid? Piterx is going to love this!
  20. Doc_Brown
    Some great ideas guys! Thanks a lot. There is some great opportunity here to develop, and a mech to lift the props sounds awesome! I have no idea how to achieve such a thing tho, haha. Does anyone know if pressurizing a air-tank does increase its buoyancy??? The 98.4mm wheels are more water tight with a rubber-bands in them than the 81mm ones. So the next version maybe larger scale, but I just love those blue rims! haha
  21. Doc_Brown
    Awesome model! :thumbup: However I agree the roof is a lil high. How does it work with 4 XLs on one channel???
  22. Doc_Brown
    haha, nope I didn't watch them, but their cars seem cool. Actually we have another expo coming up in June, so need to start planning for that. I would deff like to do a water attraction! Also hoping to have a 8x8 rolligon done by then too, just not sure how it will turn being split in the middle and not collapse in the water. Wish I could find better pics um a bit, but mostly I knew it was going to dive into the water so it does help with bouncy a lil bit. 1 air tank can only displace about 30grams of weight, so totally not worth buying say 6 or so and hoping for an awesome craft, would cost way too much. Thanks for the great feed back guys, I've been thinking that I could add panels to the underside in attempt to make less drag underwater, I think this would improve the speed in water a bit.
  23. Doc_Brown
    Cheers, narr the motors where close but not under. Power pullers are next for sure! Already tested them, and even tho they weigh 180grams they can take an additional 250grmas of weight before submerged! that's a Kg of body weight motors and battery box, so pretty good really for 4 wheels.

    Happy Easter! Here is something I whipped up this weekend from an idea I had, to use the drive-train to power propellers. A.L.T. mkI is an amphibious Lego Technic vehicle and as its name suggests it goes on land and water. Unfortunately is performance wasn't as good as I had hoped. Enjoy, and Happy holidays!
  25. Doc_Brown
    Two mocs with the same hull! Fantastic! Looks like a really good idea, just a shame about the weather.
