Made some more progress. The proportion is a little bit off, will adjust it later. @Thirdwigg Here is a close look at my steering solution, the blue clutch gear drives a 12 teeth gear underneath. -
No, not exactly like the original, I'm using a blue 20 teeth clutch gear on the engine axle to route the steering. Will put the pics here soon

More progress of the referenced 8284 and initial progress of my smaller version.
-
After months of break, I decided to continue my tractor series MOC creation and then TC25 kicked off. I'm trying to build a tractor in similar scale with my other tractor MOC, which is 56mm front wheel and 75mm back wheel. Of course, the chassis and bodywork will be newly designed. I chose 8284 and will try to accommodate its features into the smaller scale, not include the clutch function I guess. To have a good reference, I will build a 8284 using my part storage and post comparison photos with the smaller version in this thread, so please keep tuned. Here is the initial progress: back chassis of 8284
-
Glad you like it and it looks cute in smaller scale!

Thanks for your support! Please let me know your feedback on the model and its instructions. Also it will be nice if you can share your mods here once done

#2 CLAAS Axion Terra Trac As its real world counter part, it is easily modified from a normal wheeled Axion 900 . The modified area is rear axle, central area and rear fender(the track is longer while lower than wheel, so the tank is moved from center to the rear fender position) . Features: Pivoted solid front axle Pivoted rear track HOG steering Adjustable front hitch Adjustable rear hitch Rear PTO connected directly with rear differential Modular design: chassis, rear hitch, cabin are built separately Instructions on RB: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-130219/ Video introduction is on the way More Pics at: bricksafe link A closer look at the rear track: Thanks for watching!

Yes, 4x4 dish will be better here, it is thinner which makes extra weight addon possible. However, it is an aged part now...
-
The diameter of rim is a little bit larger than the actual scale. So I used a smaller cover to make the tire visually thicker than it is.
-
er, based on RB, the red 40 teeth gear discontinued long time ago.... I tried to use a bigger idler at the front but failed to find a suitable part. The track is the 3 stud narrow one, so only the 40/24/16/8 can fit....
-
Yes, this is the first of a planning series and the next will be CLAAS Axion Terra Trac, which only needs modifying the rear end of the wheeled Axion as in reality . Below is what the prototype looks like now. The next of this one will probably be a Case IH Optum, which has similar shape and dimension. I also plan to add some attachments for these tractors, but it will be a longer term plan.
-
Yes, most of the headlights are missing there, I tried to build the front using connectors but the result was not satisfying...
-
I saw your post in that thread and that was before I started making this tractor . Now I totally agreed with you on your point.
-
Besides the wider width, the diameter of Zetro tires is a little bit too large for this MOC, the 42124 tire is almost perfect match diameter-wise. So I'm with the group that insists T:G should release more types of tractor tires!

I'm planning to build a series of tractor mocs and here is the 7th of them: Case IH Magnum Rowtrac Index: Case IH Magnum Rowtrac Case ih magnum Massey Ferguson 7480 CLAAS Axion 900 CLAAS Axion Terra Trac New Holland T7 HD Steyr Terrus #1 CLAAS Axion 900 Features: Pivoted solid front axle HOG steering Adjustable front hitch Adjustable rear hitch Rear PTO connected directly with rear differential Modular design: chassis, rear hitch, cabin are built separately So no front PTO nor 4 wheel drive due to its small size, sorry guys... Instructions are at: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-129921/ Video introduction: Some comparison photos with a Siku model: A little closer look at it: Exploded view: Hope you like it! Thanks for watching.

[MOC] ORA electric car
falconluan replied to falconluan's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Some updates: PDF instruction is finished and the rebrickable link is up now. Will make a video soon. @The01, @Scoar Sonander Thank you for your kind words, glad you like it :) @Hrafn The steering and rear suspension are both quite simple, you can get a general idea based on the chassis and bottom render pics. Please let me know if they are not clear enough -
Hi everyone, This is my latest MOC which is a replica of a cute electric car: Features: Remote control of driving and steering: PF 2L for drive, PF Servo for steering Front wheel drive with differential Working steering wheel Torsion beam rear suspension Openable doors, bonnet, trunk and charging dock door A few more pics: RB link is ready at: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-94971/falconluan/small-electric-car/#details More pics at: https://bricksafe.com/pages/falconluan/ora-black-cat RB link, video, instructions are on the way, please stay tuned. Hope you like it Happy building!

My choice is 42124 + 42129, Pros: The new 81mm tractor tires and the white wheel 4 hubs Not very costly Cons: lack of XL motor, but it seems to have little difference with L motor, also I can buy a couple of them separately Also, I think the new differential is worth to be listed in the table since its price is still high now.

42122 Jeep Wrangler
falconluan replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Built a modified version thanks to @Sariel's great speed building video Since I haven't update my part collection with the newly released 2020 sets yet, you can see the compromises now and there and of course, I don't have any 2021 parts While the new 56mm tractor tire is very welcomed, I don't think it matches the car better than the old balloon tires though. The smaller version of the off road tire on 42124 will suite the car best. Changed the color of C pillar and didn't bother build the roof stuff, also, modified the front fender. Tried to move the headlight back and build a 3D grill. Sadly that I can't keep the iron 7-hole grill here. -
Oh, that's because there is no 13L length fender in the current version of Studio app, so I used the bigger 15L in the instruction. You can see the 13L fenders used in the real build photos and in the video.
-
The instruction is finally finished and you can find it at: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-50190/falconluan/tsco-racing-aussie-trophy-truck/#comments

Sorry to keep you waiting... Didn't get much time on this in the past weeks. Am working on the instructions and it's at about 50% progress now. Also, did some outdoor driving testing and found that its torque is too weak for even small obstacles, will have to tune down the gear ratio ...
-
Er, seems like the frame is more welcomed than the shell. I'm thinking of making another shell, maybe some one based on the newly released Ford Bronco, it will be a little more attractive than the current version
-
Haha, the shell is there just to finish the look. Like the real one, the shell adds little rigidity, it is attached to the frame by 4 connection points on the roof only and can easily be removed/installed. The frame itself has enough rigidity to be played alone without the shell. Thanks. I'll make a video soon however don't expect too much on the 2 L motors
-
Finally, the shell is finished! Again, some comparing shot with the real one: Since the original pure white shell is some dull, I also made a slightly more colorful one. Which one do you like? I'll make the instructions and put it onto RB. Thanks for watching. Any comment and feedback is welcomed!
