  1. Wow! what a beautiful model! Nice use of panels, different from what i have seen before. Great job! :thumbup:
  2. Thats looking really good man, very interesting! I too like the lack of CV joints. You mentioned lack of pics, so here are a few, may help LOL. I'm not sure exactly what type it is, maybe you someone can tell me. These are looking towards the front of the car. This is looking over the wheel.
  3. Lol, what do you mean? :) Both those ideas are great! I deff consider them. Cheers
  4. Hi Everyone! Just thought I would document my rc motor disassemble, due to bad "cracking" sounds, and show how I managed to take it apart with minimal damage as possible. I thought it was due to lack of grease inside, but this turned out not to be true. It was in fact a loose gear on its pin, as you can see below. It was extremely difficult to take apart and a lot of force was required!! and at this stage i have no idea if it will go back together nicely and still work at all. Seeing the condition that it is in, and the sound it makes from this loose gear, I would recommend if anyone else hears the same thing to just put up with it! haha Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated, as it will only get worst with time. I have considered filling it with heavy grease, or make a very thin metal sleeve for the gear. This was a brand new motor purchased from BL.

  5. Mine has gone from Backordered to customer service now. Ordered 15 mins to midnight London time (GMT)
  6. Really? Doesn't look good then, but it is still early days. Fingers crossed!
  7. OMG!!! that final wave! Man I felt for you. Nasty salt water. Great vid, and thanks for "sacrificing" your model. It looks really good on the beach. Hope its clean now.
  8. These hubs, are really not so good, I used them on my Hot rod just cos I thought I have to use them at least once. They are no good for all wheel drive applications, as they have a fatal design flaw that causes them to pop out when on a hard wheel lock or at lowest or highest of suspension limits. Best to stick with the 8070 ones! if you don't have any, I highly recommend that you buy some. Hope that helps.!
  9. Unless like others have said here, they are going through the orders manually and "removing" multiple orders to the same house hold.
  10. Oooh, will follow this! Looking good. I have a terrible feeling those CV joints will pop tho.
  11. My order says "back ordered" I ordered at 15 mins to midnight (GMT)
  12. Good job. Interesting bodywork. I love that environment too.
  13. I only learned about the new 8t a few months ago after someone on EB told me about them. I ordered a few and was extremely impressed with the results, and put them to good use in my crawlers. I'm sure there are some other people, perhaps new to EB that didn't know, cause it is easy to miss the odd thread.
  14. Absolutely! They can ask for that much, but highly doubt anyone will pay that much, at least not yet.
  15. Its says out of stock for Australia! And shipping 5th of Sept. http://shop.lego.com/en-AU/4x4-Crawler-Exclusive-Edition-41999?_requestid=3502414
  16. HAHA, true, I noticed that something changes when you change the region to Australia, but you can't do that when in you Lego ID account. Weird
  17. Just wondering how long does it take for orders to show up on you lego ID account ? "My LEGO® Order History" You have no orders to display Thanks.
  18. Thanks man! saved me staying awake for ages. :) Night Australia!
  19. 1st of August here in Australia, and no sign of 41999. Does that mean I have to stay awake for the next 12 hours or so???? Just to get a chance to order?
  20. Are these the motors you used? I know there are a few different train motors. :) http://shop.lego.com/en-US/LEGO-Power-Functions-Train-Motor-88002
  21. My apologizes, I completely forgot to show how it works in the video. I'm hoping to make a sorta off-road vid, and will show it there. I used the F1 suspension parts to hold the solid axle in place, but still allow it 1 stud vertical movement.
  22. This is absolutely amazing@! You explain it soo well! Great job and I sure can't wait to see the final design.
  23. I also didn't know train motors could do that! thanks for sharing. :D
