    As promised, here's the LXF file. There are some minor things which are missing or different: Wheels, also dont forget about 4 3L pins/wheel The front tubes should be 16L flex axles Servos are missing Some round 1x1 plates should be on receivers DOWNLOAD FILE HERE

    I suggest you to check out my youtube, lots of crawlers and links for instructions there...
  3. Zerobricks
    You can make a crawler without shocks, just use pendular (tiltable) axles.

    It was more of an experiment if such a vehicle can be made. I am thinking of making a lighter version with only 4 XL motors using a combination of Fox's and Jaguar's suspension systems. Tan pins have almost no ridges, meaning no friction when they slide. Blue ones on the other hand are rather rough. Thanks guys, LXF is almost done, gonna upload it tomorrow along an idea for a lighter, smaller version of the Jaguar.

    Yes i took apart the fox for this. The crown gear is slighty smaller than regular 24 tooth gear and it doesnt grind on a nearbye support beam. Didnt try to pull car yet, seems rather controversal... So far the CV joints dont show any signs of wear, we will see over time. Anyone interested in the .lxf?

    Only thing I would change is the use of the pair of 8 tooth gears, those are rather inefficient.

    So after 3 months of working in another town, away from my precious bricks, I am back! I had to return the 4 borrowed wheels from the fox, so I came up with an idea to make a smaller 4x4 off roader with the same amount of power. This is the crazy result: If you look from the side, you can see the model is quite short for its size, which is good for offroading. Also notice the 8 hard shock absorbers giving this beast a lot of suspension travel. There is even an interrior, which can be accessed via gullwing openable doors: I am very proud of the styling, there are no major gaps and almost no straight or perpendicular lines. Now for the performance... I found a way to harness the power of 2XL motors/wheel without breaking gears (too often that is). Each XL motor is placed on opposite sides of the swinging half axle so that their torques cancel each other out, therebye having minimal effect on suspension. The only gears capabale of withstanding such torque at perpendicular angle are of course knob gears. The hub assembly is simillar to the one used in the Fox, but with built CV joints capable of handling 2x the XL motor torque. But even so sometimes an 8 tooth gear may fail if a foreign object is jamed between gears and the wheel is blocked Even though the models tends to kill gears on occasion its still quite relaible for its massive weight of some 4 kilograms. Dimensions: Length: 47 cm Width: 25 cm Height: 21 cm Here's the video of the Jaguar in action: Oh and of course the most important picture of them all Though there's not much to see, but I like the arrangment of the components, its clean.

    I love the spiral tower! Nice steampunk style on the mech too.
  9. Zerobricks
    Thank you, thats a very complex mast!
  10. Zerobricks
    I really like the six-bladed rotor design, you got any more detailed pictures of the assembly?
  11. Zerobricks
    So many functions in such tight space! And it looks great too. Could easily be an official set IMO!
  12. Zerobricks
    Well done, its simple and it works good!
  13. Zerobricks
    Amazing, 2 in 1! And transforming functions is really awesome. I know who I will vote for
  14. Zerobricks
    Well done, it reminds me of some boats I saw in a movie chasing each other in Venice.
  15. Zerobricks
    These kinds of posts make me really warm and fuzzy inside, I love it when people build play and like my models. Thank you! P.S. New offroader coming soon

    Small cute and clean. I like how you built the trailer.
  17. Zerobricks
    You got the curves just right, amazing technique.
  18. Zerobricks
    The sheer amount of work, details and time that went into this incredible concept is just amazing! What did you use to light up the bricks?
  19. Zerobricks
    Best brick-built rat if I ever saw one.
  20. Zerobricks
    Very well done! Poor guy getting stabbed and trapped though.
  21. Zerobricks
    Lovely parody! Nice idea, good model.
  22. Zerobricks
    I love the curved side and the details you put into this trailer. Quite heavy, isnt she?
  23. Zerobricks
    Doesnt get more retro-futuristic than this! I love it.
  24. Zerobricks
    Wow, thats a really smooth animation! Didnt know POV-ray supports such animations.
  25. Zerobricks
    Its so classy, detailed and shinny! Impressive to say the least!
