I understand why he wants this- a mechanically correct crawler would be beautiful! 4-link suspension, pneumatic steering (of course as a substitute for nonexistent LEGO hydraulics), no motors on axles, etc. TLH

Absolutely mind-blowing! TLH

Awesome review, Legomuppet! The B-model looks much better than the A-model. Just looking at the turning radius of 9398's axles in that last picture makes me want to cry though... TLH

This is absolutely how I would run the TECHNIC theme. I would love to see a studless universal set! TLH

I had already modified one prior to this topic, and you reminded me that I should post it. It works amazing; it can handle super-high torque, fit 4 bevel gears in it (as opposed to 3 in the new-style diff), fit in a 5x7 frame, and is driven by a 12 tooth double bevel gear! Oh, and it's 28 teeth, not 48. TLH

The reason they can both fit is because while the 14 tooth gears are larger in diameter, they are also 2 LDU thinner. Also, another peculiar thing- both it and the new-style bevel diff have 28 teeth. TLH

Wow, that thing is incredible!! And all functions (including driving) operate ridiculously fast. TLH

That servo valve is genius, I love the use of the 3L pin with hole to handle the angle caused by the pivots of the switch and the servo being out of line. That thing is gonna be huge! TLH

Great model! The functions are stunning for such a small model, and you have captured the old-style studded look very well. TLH

Wow, that thing is huge! The suspension works really well, too. Also, it's one of the sturdiest studless constructions I've ever seen, the chasis doesn't appear to hardly bend at all! o.o TLH

Why only one reply? This is a great MOC! The studded sides make it look very nice. The only thing I would change would be to increase the speed of the motors or gear them up, but I'm not sure if you would have the same precision. TLH

Read people's minds and manipulate thoughts. For evil of course. TLH

I don't mind the looks- it's not half bad. But the functions... TLH

Thanks! It's not exactly minifig scale, but using the inverted bracket and 1x2 modified plate, he can sort of ride it:

Thanks! I actually didn't think that was an illegal technique, as it doesn't seem to be actually stressing any parts. TLH

I got mine today, and they're awesome! Thank you for organizing this raffle, CopMike, and your generousity is beyond belief! TLH

Wow, so far it looks amazing! I think the dark orange looks great. Good luck! TLH

In spirit of the LEGO Movie soon to be released, I decided to buy a TLM movie set, the 70800 Getaway Glider. In fact, I bought 2 of them, so I decided to build a B-model of it. I apologize for the bad photo documentation- It's dark pretty much 90% of the day in the winter. Without further ado, here it is: The B-model retains most of the set's original parts, except, of course, the glider, which has been made into a different getaway vehicle: The rear view: Bottom view: A close up of the cockpit; you can see how I used revolvers to get the compound angle for the windshield. Here's another close-up, showing the technique I used to angle the exhausts: It has a few play features- the angle of the wings is adjustable and the rocket engine can rotate. A pic of the extra parts: The parts of interest- a 1x1 dalek brick, an inverted 2x2 bracket, the 5L chain, Emmet's brick, and last but certainly not least, a mustache. That is one of the best molds ever IMO. Oh, and ignore that 3L pin; somehow it snuck its way into the picture. Also worthy of mention is the complete bank sign: The new moulds, so far exclusive to the TLM sets: Unfortunately, the bracket for Emmet's brick is used for the exhausts, so he'll just have to carry it in his hands Also, Sheriff Not-A-Robot is missing a revolver: And a straight-on shot to finish it off: Hope you guys like it! Of course, C&C is always appreciated. TLH

I guess it's pretty much for show, but it looks amazing! While I really don't like that negative caster, the gear change mechanism is ingenious! TLH

Not perfect? This is AWESOME! Absolutely stunning first creation. :wub_drool: The gearbox selector/spoiler (and everything else) is ingenius! TLH

<cough> allanp <cough> I personally prefer pneumatics, they are simple and easy to install. I'll let allanp do the talking; we've had this exact same topic before actually. (literally the exact same title ) TLH

:excited: That looks awesome! I hope the next set has the right tolerances. I'm a bit broke atm, but I might be interested... TLH

Unfortunately, after watching that video, I have to agree with what dan1el said - it's a 2 in 1 logo. TLH

I can't fvcking believe how lucky you are- that is totally awesome! My school has pretty much the exact same stuff, but more of it, but of course I don't get to keep any of it. I'm looking forward to see what you build with this! TLH

Pneumatics? Now we're talking. Can't wait to see what the logo is! TLH
