    O only have the smaller 6595 wheel, but it does fit in the hub from the rear side. Front side doenst fit all the way though.

    That was cute and different. Very original, I like it!

    Well done, as others said, the looks are awesome. Only thing I would suggest you to improve is to replace the stock suspension from the A model with something softer and with more travel like the real ones use.

    It looks georgeous and cute Maybe start with making a trailer for this model, preferably an oversize load version and you could also build some escorting vehicles in same scale?

    So if I get this correctly, the bigger the model, the less relative percantage of the unique lots number it has. A small model with 200 parts may have relativly much higher percantage of new parts and lots than a big 2000 part one. Also I did notice Lego does seem to sometimes reduce number of different parts when needed, for example using 2x 2x4 plates instead of one 4x4 etc, which makes sense when thinking of optimising packaging process.

    Very shinny. Cant wait for some outdoor pictures with these lights.

    The bracket with the differential can tilt in any direction, up down left right, even sideways (but thats restricted). So there is no friction in the drive axle, unless you want to drive it with a lot of torque, than it becomes a different story. But the model was deisgned prirmarily for fake piston engine and now some heavy duty torque-twisting crawling. No problem about dimensions, everyone has its own look and opinion of the world. if we would all think, act and do the same, the world would be a really boring place.

    I would not even try to lift a model that weighs more than a third of my weight Those poor axles and wheels though, each axle has to carry at least 4 kilograms.

    There goes my jaw... I never saw such a massive scale Lego train model! Words cannot describe what an amazing thing you created And the lights sure bring it to life even more! What did you use for wheels? How heavy is the model? Does it roll?

    One funny thing I noticed... This is one of ULTRA-RARE technic sets that actually uses transparent windshield in the cabin

    Well I know that Lego changed the wires and plugs to softer verisons in 2012 I think with the 9398 and later the 41999. with exception of the 41999 all of my PF is the older version with harder wires. What about yours?
  12. Zerobricks
    I only had 2 or 3 such cases in my 8 years of power functions use and I own some 20-30 motors. The biggest problem is janking the wires and twisting them in the motor output. Never pick up your motors by the wire, dont allow the wires to twist in any direction too much and just generally be gentle with them.

    Thank you Horace, It took me almost a week to record all the footage, countless hours of making LDD versions and some 10 hours of video editing to get it done. Yes, there's a small winch in the rear which was used for the C model, but can of course be used in A model.

    Thanks, mate :)

  15. Zerobricks
    Yep, thats a small cylinder. Pump has only one output and is slightly longer.
  16. Zerobricks
    Yes, the dive axle is rigid, but suspension is independent. This way I can use only 2 joints and make everything more compact.

    One of the best crawlers I ever saw, hands down! Wish Lego would relase some super soft tires and maybe a new motor which has two inline axleholes. That would make building such axles much easier.
  18. Zerobricks
    Yeah, what about morally? Some may argue...
  19. Zerobricks
    Wow, would you look at those sweet lines! The sideways tilted arches really look awesome! When I get those parts I cat wait to steal your idea Cant wait for you fill up the shell with all the bits.

    I see, I unintentionally managed to create some controversy. As I said in the TC9 topic, the only way I used 0,5 stud measurements is to ROUND UP the non-whole dimesions. The real dimensions of the A model in cm and studs: width: 16,4 cm 20,5 studs length: 28,3 cm 35,375 studs height: 10,6 cm 13,25 studs And the B model: width:19,6 cm 24,5 studs length: 36 cm 45 studs height: 7 cm 8,75 studs If you think my model is bending the rules or unfair in any way than I will rmove myself from the competition.

    So do I, but I simply had no room/way to connect it. Yes the steering angle for A model is a bit low, I could have made wheel arches bigger, but that would have spoiled the looks. Problems are the massive hubs and Lego's not-so deep wheels. The only reason why I ROUNDED UP to 0,5 studs is because wheels are slightly over 20 studs wide, length is slightly over 35 studs due to the exhausts (which I can remove if thats the problem) and because the car is slightly above 13 studs high. Again I ROUNDED UP the measurments even though in real life they are generally lower. Sure, here they are, chassis with steering link: Deatiled look without the steering link: And the look from under. Notice I could not connect the U joint to the steering in LDD: Yes the gearbox is a 2 speed with gear ratios of 1:1 and 1:3. When motorized the gearbox also works.

    Already fixed it, I hope the ones hidden in spoilers dont count though... Thanks anyway, the model was a blast to build and its a basically a mini supercar.

    It looks so organic, reminds me of HL2 synths. Well done!

    17. Rally Racer / F1 Car Here is my entry for the TC9 challenge A MODEL It is made out of 949 parts and it has functions including but not limted to: - All wheel drive - Independent suspension on all wheels - Working gearbox - Moving V6 piston engine - Working steering wheel - Adjustable seats - Openable doors and trunk - Detailed rollcage - Sporty colors and livery - Power Functions ready The front is full of lights and LED bars Notice the massive rear spoiler, massive exhaust system and the rear diffuusor Doors and the rear boot open, showing the internal rollcage and adjustable seats Size of the car is 35,5 studs long, 20,5 studs wide and 13,5 studs high, giving a total of 9824,626 cubic studs And the usual "money shot" of the chassis. The suspension and drive use a hybrid drive system with the drive axle used like an live axle, yet wheels suspended in a independent double wishbone configuration. B MODEL Rally car rebuilds into an F1 car with following functions: - Realistic working pushrod suspension - Moving V6 piston engine driven by rear wheels - Working steering wheel - Adjustable spoiler - Openable rear to - Detailed engine bay with six exhausts The F1 car is a very low and stable model Notice the rear wheel drive, rear light, the detailed diffusor and the rear springs Rear covers can open up, exposing the pushord suspension, V6 engine and the 6 exhaust systems B model is 45 studs long, 24,5 studs wide and just 9 studs high, giving it a total volume of 9922,5 cubis studs Video: Click here for the discussion topic
