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:

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.

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 !

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

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.

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

Then, why the set is not marketed as "AMR 26" if the light arrangement belongs to 2026?

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.

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.

Thank you for your message ! I was really scared when I saw the message :) Because real-life double-decker bus garages are very large. However, this might be possible in theory. The interior height of my garage is 150 mm (5.91 inches) up to the BUS + sign. The height of the raised ramp is 26 mm (1.02 inches). The garage height and width could also be increased slightly. Although it is currently suitable for 6-stud buses, with minor modifications it could also accept 7-stud buses too. Two or three of these garages could be placed side-by-side and the partition walls can be removed. Yes, it can be done, it's a great idea ! PS. Great bus collection by the way, I like them all. All the best

Honestly, compared to the city scene above, I didn't think free AI could create such beautiful and detailed environmental buildings. Chemical plants, the power station at the background, a nice freight train, and even an antique Unimog-like truck in the garage of the building on the right. Now I'm looking at them enviously. If such a scene existed and was published in the catalog, a trip to Legoland where it's displayed would be great. This scene also showed me that it might be good to add a few more touches to my own garage. The roof plates may need some more thinking, the buses could be replaced by official Lego sets that are 6 studs wide...

Thanks ! Yes, "Lego transit system" is a better idea, then AI created this industrial scene: Best wishes

Garage scene completion works: 1. Intercity bus facelift Front facelift: Rear facelift: 2. The garage owner's worn-out pick-up truck: 3. Custom built motorhome bus: 4. Overall maintanence garage: The base plate (garage can easily be removed): Resting area details: Base plate with vehicles: Garage building is added, resting area intermediate door is visible: Resting area shed is added: Garage front view: Garage right side: Garage back side: 5. Short video of the garage scene: Finally, AI generated "a garage in the city" scene: All the best

Thanks a lot bright22 for your comment. Actually I had taken a long break from building Lego Town and focused on Technic. I have a lot of unused pieces, so I wanted to do this flashback. I am still thinking of making some touches to this scene. I consciously used some discolored grey tiles, but I think, some of them are misplaced. I am going to try to collect them at the garage entrance. I am also thinking of covering studded rooftops by using red tiles. Not sure how it may look though... Adding the garage owner's pick-up truck and another bus are among my thoughts.
