I used the flex rods, yeah, its simple as that

So, this is where the U joint demonstration came from Its really mesmorizing, feels like a kid watching colored baloons taking off...

Well done! Great idea with solid internal structure too.

That trully looks awesome! Did Blackbird help you with the half-transparent picture of motors and functions? I think a video would do the model justice.

That piece looks shaped just like the hub pieces... Does a CV joint fit in the split? Sorry for offtopic, just curious

What a massive beast! Are the 2 L drive motors up to the task? Can we please see the chassis?

This is the first time I see a motorcycle with a gearbox, which is awesome! Can you tell me what the handlebar pieces are? I dont know those bricks..

I've just looked at the offical Lego technic webpage, and they uploaded some funny videos: http://www.lego.com/en-US/mediaplayer/video/51b7a519d16e4cf5b504c2ae710fbe94?autoplay=false&instanceName=fulldetailsvideo36084b0200fb4d298f97a7780b2ce10c&activateLargeScreen=false&showControls=true&forceNativeOnIPad=false http://www.lego.com/en-US/mediaplayer/video/d50f9e9bd1b54c8da7a3fdd9d85d801b?autoplay=false&instanceName=fulldetailsvideof7380d545ba54bc6927a643d65c0bcc6&activateLargeScreen=false&showControls=true&forceNativeOnIPad=false http://www.lego.com/en-US/mediaplayer/video/661c270593e14c80a25e03d3b2e05e33?autoplay=false&instanceName=fulldetailsvideo020791d31ee648fdad6329fb1490282b&activateLargeScreen=false&showControls=true&forceNativeOnIPad=false http://www.lego.com/en-US/mediaplayer/video/f6a2a3ba134d4eed9f25799c71a116d5?autoplay=false&instanceName=fulldetailsvideod4727652b9534443a5008b57b2868eed&activateLargeScreen=false&showControls=true&forceNativeOnIPad=false http://www.lego.com/en-US/mediaplayer/video/4869cbd7ae5c4ad8890a577e519cbde1?autoplay=false&instanceName=fulldetailsvideoa5367045114845fe892220d3a85dbe08&activateLargeScreen=false&showControls=true&forceNativeOnIPad=false http://www.lego.com/en-US/mediaplayer/video/ad20431120e94e7f93ac02bbe205a840?autoplay=false&instanceName=fulldetailsvideo57c7aa78a4d743a3b7ad21261df37e09&activateLargeScreen=false&showControls=true&forceNativeOnIPad=false

Or put another gear between 12 and 28z turntable gear... Also an 8 tooth gear and turntable are pretty much aligned in an L shape diagonal connection.

Here's a thing I built in LDD in 10 minutes... I used the flexible 3,2 tubes for the frame and cowered them with loads of dish parts. In order to get the super-white color in LDD I used a bugged brick color I think it could look neat on some table somewhere!

Sure, just go to file Import model, or press Ctrl + I.

I am at a loss here, because I have no such symptoms... I dont care if a model is built from different sets, its asymetrical, how pins are aligned and if colors match (except I tend to use new gray where possible)... Only thing I do is with cross pins, where there are higher loads is to to orient them so they dont get squeezed, but thats only where needed...

Yeah, it seems LDD gets confused and thinks the whole bottom is covered and hides the details, to save on GPU?

Well done! We dont see many tatras at this medium scale, and you did a really good job. The total gear ratio is 1:3, right? Those wheels are actually a good choice, because unlike the bigger 94,8 ones, these are from softer rubber AFAIK. Good work with syncronizing the audio and video too. Only thing I would like to see is this beast's belly and underparts

Props to Rebrickable for an instant approval, so here's the link so you guys can make your own model: http://rebrickable.com/mocs/zblj/coyote-4x4x4 P.S. Jim can you remove the WIP from the topic's name? Thanks!

Thank you Mac I submitted the model to Rebrickable, as soon as its approved I will add a link. It might be lighter, yes, but in this case battery boxes also act as structual parts for the chassis. Thanks mate, you are really supportive

Great use of teh octopus part! Very creative, I like it.

Wow, really amazing creations! I think you will feel at home here

Its been a while... But here are the new pictures and the video I improved model a bit, raising its ground clearance and removing some parts on the underbody, so its harder for it to get lodged As usual I also made an LDD file, which you can download here.

These look really great. The first two are the best ones IMO, but remember Lego already made an exo-suit not too long ago...

Awesome monkey render! A bit of noise, adds to realism.

Wow, awesome shape. I like the rear engine shapes and all the greebbling.

For me most susprising thing in the set are 3L axles with stop... I dont really understand why they created a part so simillar to an existing one? How are they used in this model? Cant the normal 3L axle with stud be used in their place?

Well done. These vidoes really are quite hypnotic... They would make for an awesome .gif!

I have two of those connectors.... Starting price 1€ Seriously though they will come back again sooner or later.
