I uploaded a Youtube Video, that explains everything (I hope ): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtEHOcfvV4Y Because the ratchet has still the same function as by the original model; avoiding the rubberband of slipping. And I like the noise when it trying to lenghten... There are LDD-instructions available, just take a look in my Brickshelf Gallery (when it is made public). I posted it on rebrickable, but it is pending to approval. Also I made a blog; http://www.freskoltc.blogspot.com , there you'll find all my last creations and more details. Greets, Fresko

Thanks for the nice comments! No, there would be to much friction. The caps (platses of 2*6) would jump off. You are best to add only pieces on 1 side of 2 opposite cylinders (hope I explained it good ) Would there be interest in photo-instructions? Greets, Fresko

Dear Eurobricksmembers, I did some heavy MOD's on the 9395. I motorised i completely and I add nice features like diual tyres and a V6 engine. I also made a motor-noise with little pieces of an old pneumatic tube. A video says more than thousand words... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1DszvR3t0w Please comment! I'd like your opinion and suggenstions! Greets, Fresko

Oh, sorry, I didn't see. I was hurried. Greets, Fresko

My Ultimate Power Function Chassis is also a small 4WD chassis with independent suspension. I build a 1980-style Volvo-Body on it. I think it looks pretty good. Maybe can someone build there another '70 or '80-style car body on it (like a Delorean). @Efferman: How wide is your chassis in studs? Greets, Fresko

Relax, it was just a joke. I know I'm not the best builder, but I was just a bit pride of my creation. I tought it was this chassis was one of the smallest, with independent suspension and 4WD. Of course it isn't the Ultimate Power Function Chassis (for this topic), but I think it can be use good in other creations (such as ACC-Races). I'm sorry if I made the impression that I thought this was the ultimate PowerFunction Chassis for all aplications, that was not my intention (remember english isn't my native language ) And you are right, I have better open a new topic with my creation. Greets, Fresko

I made a (or is it the? )Ultimate Power Functions chassis. It is a 4WD chassis, with suspension. I made it small as possible, around 15.5 studs wide. I'll upload PDF (step -by-step)building instructions soon. You can take a look in my brickshelf gallery, when it is made public. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=fresko Its made especially for ACC-races and other small races. It has 2 L-motors for drive, 1 Servomotor for steering and it uses the rechargeable BatteryBox. But with a quick and easy MOD, you can use the standard BatteryBox too. Some pictures: (And yes, that is the model in MLCAD. So you'll receive quality instructions and NOT LDD-screenshots in the PDF!) You can build there a nice body on, like I did with this 1980-looking Volvo-Body design. (I like '80 and '90 volvos much ) And to end: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OX9pELNus5Y I hope you like it and you can use it!

It looks awesome (and a whole lot better than the original 42000)! I think the 8880 tyres looks great, and you don't have to replace them by the 42000 tyres. But that is my opinion. Greets, Fresko

Agree! I didn't incluced in my model because I didn't want a complete makeover. I wanted to keep the base of the 42007, and don't do lot of changes, just motorized it. Greets, Fresko

Of course! If you should like to meet me, I'll go to the local BrickMania-event in 'Wetteren'. I'll show some of my new MOC's there. I'm also planning & organising , as you can read on the BeLUG-forum, an ACC-competition. So, that is maybe also a good occasion. Greets, Fresko

Well, I think this would happen.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOcQLvTBENc Greets, Fresko

I opened up this topic, and I read: (mark the .be at the end) What a fantastic discovery! Another AFOL from Belgium, and even interessed in Technic! I saw your [Fantastic] GG#001 a while ago on youtube, but I didn't realise that it was from a Belgian AFOL! It is a very nice website, which will become better when you post more of your creations. Greets, Fresko

Thanks for sharing my video, Dluders! I made also a part list on rebrickable; but it is pending to approval. You'll have to wait a couple of days until it wil be avialable. If there is enough interest, I can make step by step PDF-building instructions (Not LDD) Greets, Fresko

The instructions for my Quad Crawler are available! Go to http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=523695 and chose the .LXF file! Please take a look at the pictures in that folder. They show how you have to fix the building errors in the .LXF file. There is also a complete part list on rebrickable: http://rebrickable.com/mocs/Fresko/quad-crawler Greets, Fresko

Thanks for the nice comments! Indeed, I search a lot of information like steering angle, turning circle and Caster angle before building this MOC. I didn't know the RTI and Pinion Angle, but they looks interesting and it will surely improve my next crawler. I has the same idea for a woorking steeringbar, but I thought that I would use another extra motor (best servomotor). I realised me that, if I should use another motor, the batterybox would run out of power faster. You're right, the speed a little high for a Trail verhicle. In this MOC I use differentials without limited slip or even lockable, and I'm surprised about the performance. It isn't bad at all. I'm convinced when using differentials, the drivings is smoother (especially when you steer). But, if i should drive in sand or another outdoor (uneven) surface the differentials would slip. Remember I build this MOC just for understanding building techniques and driving skills, and I have learned much out of this (next time I won't use differentials. I didn't know the rule of 2 BatteryBoxes, thanks for explaining, in this MOC I can fix that in 5 min I'll suerly use your ideas for improving next time! Greets, Fresko

Dear Eurobrickmembers, I made a new MOC, the Quad Crawler. It's my first own-made crawler, so I haven't got much building experience with design/building crawlers. I build this MOC because I want to prepare me for the Belgian Outdoor TruckTrail this summer. I wanted to learn some building techniques and receive driving experience. In this moc I use 2XL-motors for propulsion (gear ratio 1:1), and 1 M-motor (gear ratio 1:0.2) for steering. It also has the V2 receiver. The Batterybox lies very low (but the ground clearance is still good), so the model won't capsize fast. The suspension works very well, as you can see on this photo: I was afraid it won't perform good, because I used differentials. Still, it performs much better than I thought (indoor and outdoor) I made a nice video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmdHidAWGzs More photo's (when folder is made public): http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=523374 I'll upload LDD instructions soon! I'd like your opinion and advice. Greets, Fresko

Thanks for the comments! I took the trailer today apart, so I can't made a video including all the features. And indeed, my camera isn't best (it's a 5-year old camera with only 4MP and my cell phone's camera is only 3MP). But I spend my money rather on Lego instead of buying a camera. It took a very long time to build; at least 6 months (note I made also other creations during that period) For my Race And Drift Buggy I made a full part list on Rebrickable. You'll have to wait until the approval of the admin. If you'd like the instructions of my Truck,I have some good news. I'll upload LDD instructions for the Truck, if I got during next week 14 more followers on Facebook (so I have 45 in total). Greets, Fresko

Hello! I'm new on this forum; so I'll introduce myself. I'm a TFOL from Belgium and I build with Lego Technic (so excuse me for my bad English). Look at my brickshelf folder (http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=522644) or on my Facebook page (http://www.facebook....93917724&type=3) for all the photos and videos. This is my Truck with trailer: It is a scale model of the truck of my uncle and aunt. They stand daily on marketplaces and they sell clothes. (Comparation with Real Model) The truck is very standard, but on my Lego Scale Model are some nice details (all functions are just like the real truck), like: -Doors with lock -All the mirrors -Windscreen wipers -Roof that can be clicked -The panel for little reparations on the engine can be opened -The whole cabine can be opened -Nice interior details, such as direction indicators and unimog-based seats -Hidden Rechargeable BatteryBox -3 sets PF-Lights in the front -Fuel Tanks on both sides -Full suspension (front and rear) -Detailed suspensed Fifth Wheel couping -Steering by Servomotor & Driving by XL-motor, commanded by Speed Remote They trailer isn't a standard trailer, it's a very complicated trailer. They functions in the real are: -2nd part that can slide out (with folded floor) (powered by hydralic cilinders attached on the floor) -It can drive on it own (by front wheels, powered by small motor) -It have pneumatic susension on the rear axle -It have 2 separatly panels powered by hydralic cilinders -The front wheels can be retracted (powered by hydralic cilinders) -A door with lock -On the 2nd part that slides out are cilinders that can retracted for stability (powered by hydralic cilinders) On the Lego Scale Model: -2nd part that slide out (with folded floor) (powered by 2 LA's attached on the floor, connected via a l-motor) -It can drive on it own (by front wheels, powerd by m-motor via chain and gearing) -It have pneumatic susension on the rear axle (with 2 small pneumatic cilinders) -It have 2 separatly panels powered by pneumatic cilinders (with autovalves connected via 2 servo motors) -The front wheels can be retracted (powered by 2 mLA's, connected via a liftarm, connected via l-motor) -A door with lock -On the 2nd part that slides out are cilinders that can retracted for stability (powered by 2 LA's connected via m-motor) An example of a comparation between the rear model and the Lego Scale model: An example of a video (the comparation of the 2nd panel between the real model and the scale model): http://www.facebook....&type=3 I'd like your opinion and comments. And again, I'm sorry for my bad English Greets, Fresko
