  1. Just like the real thing ! I like rims and tires most on this RC, there must be a lot of work there. The fuel tank is also remarkable. I think this MOC can easily be converted into a 1964 Fiat 650 or OM Lupetto.
  2. If Lego produced this version as a separate set, no doubt, it would be a bestseller Body, proportions and tail lights are awesome.
  3. Thank you ! I am still dreaming to build a new studded vehicle in future, this kind of building is a lot of fun. This vehicle had a bumper-to-bumper chassis. The chassis was elevated over the front solid axle, as you can see the inclined vertical reinforcing beams inside the front fenders. Otherwise it is not possible to handle this weight. It was so heavy that I oiled all the wheel main axles with graphite based (black) grease. The gearbox was another issue. I followed the gearbox of the Lego 8860 but I had a narrower gap to fit all in. So I reduced the size of the gearbox in every direction. For that purpose a "sliding coupler" was used. This enabled the gearbox to fit in this vehicle. Here a representative setup of the gearbox and the sliding coupler is created: The video below shows how sliding coupler works: Lego 8860 gearbox:
  4. Here I want to share some remaining photographs from an older studded project that I haven't published before. Background: Two 367 blue moon landing sets, plus 852 and 8860 technic sets combined to build this truck. It was originally in blue and technic yellow color combination. Then it was completely renovated by using new parts and colors at 2009. The photos below date back to 2009-2012. First photo contains a clear image of the truck. The BMW in the pic. is 1:18 scale and Ferrari is in 1:43 scale: The front turn signals and rear suspension reinforcing wire belongs to first renovation at 2009. Then the rear suspension is constructed entirely by using new technic parts and the front turn signals were replaced at 2011: This studded vehicle had many features: Drivetrain is 4x2, rear wheel drive. This truck was also exhibited for three months at an industrial museum in Ankara at 2012: All the best
  5. I would like to see the last pic, however, I could not open the latest version. I could say for the first version, the roof would be one stud wider to match the boxy appearence of the original. Then the windscreen angle and the side angles would match better. The body under the windows is generally okay for me (bumpers may be as mentioned in the previous messages). I also agree if you could adopt a longer yellow side signal lamp (or reflector) instead of your round one, then this detail may bring more realistic look to the entire body.
  6. Aftermath of this experimental vehicle: Some scratch marks at the bottom of the extender coming from rock crawling: Weared surfaces of the working extender: No other significant wear was observed in the other parts such as gears and axles. - Full inventory (1657 parts in total): Anyone who is interested in trials by using three more coated tires, may watch the video below:
  7. Maybe it is time for Lego to introduce a real Torsen differential like the ones built by using 3D Printers. Then many gearing and axles for differential locking would be eliminated.
  8. I see a very sophisticated dream car having insanely packed features here ! Thank you for sharing ! What caught my attention here is the use of the Torsen differential. Because I was dreaming to build an off-road 6x6 having Torsen differentials many years ago after discovering a variety of Lego Torsen's on the internet. I copied and built a Torsen differential similar to yours. After testing it, I concluded that, the Torsen differential can not be used for today in a 1/10 Lego Technic crawler. Reason is, too much pressure was being applied to the eight-toothed gears which are used for occasionally locking the axles. So even if I use the reinforced versions of these gears, I think at some point, crawling forces would break one them. After making some 6x6 and 4x4's based on instructions, seeing how a normal open differential decreases off-road performance, my final MOC came out by using no differentials at all. I am happy to see here a Torsen differential working lively in a real Lego vehicle !
  9. Hi, After completing the above attempts, it was necessary to improve the grip on the rocks a bit more. However, the tires I could find online were both expensive, and there was no guarantee they would fit on the Lego rims. I couldn't find compatible tires in my area either. So, I tried to make them myself. Here, 44772 (56x34mm) rims and 44771 tires are used. These tires are coated with double layer of a single-sided adhesive soft car insulation stripes, to be used as filling material. Then, the entire thing is covered with soft car mat stripes, having interior studs to hold the material in place. All is explained in detail, and trials were carried out in the video below: All the best
  10. My final version of the garage roof is given below. Here, staggered squares and rectangles are used in 2x2 and 2x4 formats. I am much happier with the result: And, my cat is taking over now :) Sending my best.
  11. I had some doubts about leaving the studs on the roof. Because these studs didn't blend perfectly with the roofs of the surrounding buildings. If the studs were rare, then this could be accepted as normal bolts that hold the roof in place. But Lego studs here appear much more densely packed than usual. So I tried to cover the roof in a different way: 1. Covering the roof by using colored tiles (tiles here were not pressed down completely so they could be easily removed). This option doesn't seem very good to me: 2. Reversing the roof panels. This option doesn't seem very good to me either: 3. Then tried to cover the roof by using black tiles. It was impossible to find 2x2 square tiles for the required amount, so longer plates were ordered: The background was removed by AI in the final picture below: Conclusion: I would prefer the roof to have a matte finish. However, the studs here create a problematic image. Covering with square tiles may be better. Finally my B plan is activated. I'm not entirely sure now whether to keep the old studded version, or this final version. I'll give it some time; maybe things will become clearer in my mind over time. These are my latest facelifts for the three vehicles in the garage scene: All the best
  12. Then, why the set is not marketed as "AMR 26" if the light arrangement belongs to 2026?
  13. Thank you all for your comments. I might need time for programming beyond plug-and-play, as I'm quite unfamiliar with those topics (like setting up the devices, block programming, etc.) at the moment. However, there's a lot of useful information under this heading, and it seems every possible scenario has been covered. I'll try to choose the most suitable one. Thanks again.
  14. It is nice to find the first traffic legal version of a Formula 1 car here. Because there is only one stop light in the track car while there are three in this Lego set.
