Good thing I bolted the landing gear to the floor, so it doesn't fly away :)

Thats a quick bike! Nice!

You are right :) Idea was that Heli has 5 moving rotors in transmitted from just 7studs wide frame.

My entry is presented :)

LEGO RC Helicopter, designed and built to look like real RC Heli 100% LEGO parts and sounds. Custom stickers applied This is my entry for JFAIR. I have been always fascinated by RC (radio/remote controlled) scale models, mainly with dirt cars and trucks and machinery, but when I was young, I also loved RC Helicopters. Back then I never understood anything about them, just that they are cool and well designed. Later I experimented with LEGO Town Fire Helicopter, I made it big, but never motorized. So, I was browsing some RC stuff, and I saw this: Brilliantly designed RC helicopter model, with two Strife motors and two main rotors, and with unusual back rotor, pointing upward. I immediately started building it in my head, and in few minutes, I had rough sketch. The only thing that troubled me was the cabin. First I wanted it to be brick built, but later I remembered that there is quite nice LEGO Aircraft Fuselage, part 54092c01: Which is actually quite fitting to the theme. Only thing did not match is the color of the cabin. It was white, and I wanted to be dark red with black large windows. So, I made a few stickers on my PC, print them and carefully apply them on the part 54092c01. It turn out better than I hoped for. It looked very close to the original, and I did not use any non-LEGO parts. For the chassis, I use exclusively studless beams, first time ever! And the experience was very good. It is very different from building with studded bricks. I wanted to make chassis as light as possible and to have as low part-count as possible. I think I did it. The chassis is very strong and it contains XL motor (partly hidden in cabin), central gearbox, that transmit power to four different ways, and PF receiver. Tail was made with axles, grey axles are use for tail itself, while single 32 lack axle is used as driveshaft for powering tail blades. Tail is slightly angled, like on real RC Heli. Side Strife blades I made from LEGO dark red rims, and as blade protectors, I used black dish 6 webbed. They are motorized. Battery box is hidden in the cabin, and ll the wires are transmitted out of sight. All the gears are side frame, protected and locked by chassis beams. Main rotor blades are 60 studs in length, and are partly covered with sticker. I made the sticker from white paper, Myst-sprayed with black can-paint. Besides stickers, I decorated it with few chromed parts, like motors cases and few bolts on blades. Make sure to watch 1min video of it working and sounding, and volume up! :) NOTE: Sound in the video is from LEGO sound brick! Helicopter is operated by Speed remote controlled, hence the gradually acceleration and deceleration. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJl0bSdA9_k&feature=share&list=UUNjkz5V9Fv0e20WSJsZqKVw If you liked this video, please Like it and Subscribe.

Colors are striking! Very different vehicle!

I know it is not the star of this topic, but nice truck :)

Thanks guys! There is still my favorite variation of this truck, which I am building right now: Alongside with Jfair entry :)

Welcome, train lover!

Hey, see you at Technic forum! Welcome!

It is not a bad thing at all. On the contrary! Welcome!

Very true! :) Welcome!

Great looking scene! Welcome!

Wow, those cranes are awesome! Will you present them here? Welcome!

Thanks all! About four months. Mainly on chassis, particularly on axles and leaf spring suspension.

If you are limited in space, then XL. Its really a monster!

My best ZIS so far. With motors and sound unit, it can ride and make engine noise as it accelerates! ZIS-5 The ZIS-5 (Russian: ЗиС-5) was a 4x2 Soviet truck produced by Moscow ZIS factory from October 1933 on. LEGO Model: This is 1:11 Scale model, made very accurately from ZIS 5 blueprints. Functions: Drive: XL Motor 1:1.6 Steer: Servo Motor 1:1 Sound Unit: XL Motor 1:1 VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__bpzSlWPjs&list=UUNjkz5V9Fv0e20WSJsZqKVw&feature=share More Info: Detailed presentation at my website, on the left side, click trucks... Instructions: Available for free - my simple MLCad sketches, which can be used as guidelines for dimensions to most of the chassis and bodywork. Paid - my friend could make the instructions, by disassembling the truck and taking pictures, with needed parts highlighted for each step. I can send you her mail, via PM.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Welcome and have fun!

Welcome EB!

Welcome!

58 replies and building isn't started yet. Nice to see so many people around this project.

Title is misleading...it is not just another Tatra. It is great tatra. Nice drivetrain!

I like how its dark and uniform.
