I guess the HALL OF FAME is missing the F1 of ROSCOPC ...

Guys, you should see them with the sticker on...mesmerizing experience...

Not to mention also that the studless patent had expired, hence a new, more versatile, more challenging in a way, was needed... Probably the studless bricks helped revive the Technic business for TLC in a much unexpected way, giving the lack of success in sales of the 90's...

Amazing job, do you plan to get some kind of instructions? Great use of the differential!

Did Shmade23 ever made instructions for this fantastic buggy? On a post on youtube he said he was working on them...

I also would love a submarine (it has been demonstrated that power function motors work well under water)!!! ...well if not a submarine or a boat, at least a good realistic propeller guys, pls TLC pls...look at the struggles that all the AFOL have to go through every time they try to build a floating thing...a good propeller is simply not there...both for water and for air (there is one good aircraft propeller but that comes encased with a brick and a gear that makes it useless)...

I absolutely agree with this definition...technic is defined by the technicality into it...no matter if it's a car or a robot or any other thing.

It's simply wonderful, moreover you had used parts from one set only (aaahhh that stearing wheel!)... My compliments for this masterpiece that can definitely win the contest...and hopefully become a REAL small technic set...

What a fantastic car...Instructions?

Well actually i'm stuck with the same problem...i think it was done on purpose by TLC for a sort of security reason (?) for kids not to use it directly connected to a motor... Has anyone tried to dismantle it to see if the axle is compatible with the technic axles? I doubt...it seems to be a regular steel bar.

those are a smaller version...have a look at Bricklink and always pay attention to the size written on the rubber.

Am I wrong or i saw this MOC with a BLUE grid somewhere few months ago? One more thing, from this picture the first axel of the first trailer is a retractable one, does the MOC has this feature also? I mean it's so good and so beautiful that this additional detail would make it simply THE best.

Does anybody knows if an instruction PDF is out there for this beauty up here? Also for the Black dragon of Jovel, is there a PDF? not at all familiar with cad

pls do that...I built your version of the 8043 and is great...

Might not be a perfect design and cutting pieces is not at all a nice thing...agreed...but official Lego Designer do that all the time, gluing and trimming and cutting, in order for us to get all the new parts...at the end of the day is not a big deal.

I'm going freaking nuts banana...

Your MOC looks fantastic, really congrats... I mean people can you believe that this car came out actually in 1974?? this is awesome even for today standard!!!

I guess the old 9V motor has a higher efficiency as a dynamo compared to the new PF motors...and actually i'm not sure at all if the new PF motors will do the job since there is some electronics into them...somebody might be of better help here around...

I also feel the same, but remember that LEGO official sets are first in foremost TOYS meant for growing kids and ideas are coming out of focus marketing groups with a very serious approach onto the "sell-ability" of the same to the target people. Kids usually do not have our adult kind of collections with 5 backhoe and 3 cranes parked on the shelves...hence because the kind of public they cater tends to change completely every 5 years or so (3?,4?,7 years?), things tend to repeat...also colors tend to repeat cause those are the colors that most impress the mind of a kid...Having said that the new set for next year so far are just a big disappointment for me too.

Dear All, I guess this is a fantastic idea! Have a look: http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200526152091&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Well, actually by now should have been back on the website...but nothing...the new instruction sheet has not even been published on technicbricks. I requested it to Conchas.

Pimp my van??
