    So what is the realistic status on Cusooo for this set? I have been waiting for this...but might have to go re-brickable if that doesn't happen.

    Maybe you are thinking of an Active Braking Limited Slip ? where it slows down the spinning wheel ? I am not sure though....

    I understand and agree with the piracy aspect of online plans. However there must be a solution offline, right? ? Aren't there ways to secure PDF files and prevent them from being copied, printed, etc ? building is my therapy so I tend to be "disconnected" from the phone/web/computer and prefer to have printed instructions, I wonder if there is an option to get a printed copied via mail from Mr. Kuipers?

    just got this set and was only for this reason, I will buy the instructions if I can get an offline version.

    So I build the front steering and suspension from LPE power and while it is fantastic for playabilty, it simply did not work for motorization. The Servo motor was unable to turn the unimog. So back to the drawing board...

    Hey all, Having some trouble maybe you can help. I have tried two methods of integrating the servo motor for steering, one from Pat-Ard which is outlned in post 1322 here http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=57543&st=1300#entry1496377 And then I also tried a method done by Jovel in post 1425 http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=57543&st=1425#entry1617453 In both cases the steering seems to skip on me and the wheels become misaligned. I maybe missing something in my setup. I made the front steering without the friction pins so it turns freely by hand, but somehow ends up skipping with the servo. Any pics of your servo steering setup would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    call me crazy! but I would love to se a 1977 dodge monaco police car in Technic 1/10 scale. It is one of those iconic cars of the 70's that you see in many old movies where there are police chases. I think it would be so much fun to have one of those to ride aaround and jump and crash in lego technic form.

    Markus53 that looks pretty interesting. I started working on the chassis design from Stefan_bentula_pendula and am looking to implement that. I am definitely intrigued by what you have setup, the auto trans sounds interesting. I was wondering what the MPD file is that you linked ?

    so I just bought the 42000 just to make this c-model. It is absolutely fantastic!

    anyone shove a speed gearbox in this truck without modifiying the existing functions? i saw some post from brathendel but that requires a lot of modding to the chassis and eliminates the rear functions

    I thought I would share my ugly, but functional RC motor powered air compressor. it features an air tank, manometer and a RC buggy motor. Makes the pneumatic functions faster and more fun for my impatient 4 year old son :) The air tank gets to abotu 50 psi in just shy of a minute. I would love to make it quick and easy to remove , but I haven't mastered an easy way to connect and reconnect those air hoses to the valves, any tips on that ?

    Anyone ever see this piece before ? what set is it from?
  14. kevman
    I just added a servo motor for steering, for those that have done that did you have any trouble getting the car to be perfectly aligned straight? I feel like it is off by one tooth on the rack gear, but I can't get to it easily so I may leave it for now. Also Can someone post pictures any 2-speed gearboxes they may have adapted to the Unimog? I am looking to implement that next.

    Just finished my MOG, have a few questions. 1. My "hand" part of the grabber doesn't open and close that easily, I think it might be the small pneumatic shock that is used in that part, anyone have any suggestions to loosen it up a bit? It works if I give it a little push with with my hand to open up. It closes fine by itself. 2. due to the location of the battery box, it tends to lean to that side of the truck , anyone else experience that ?

    love this thing, trying to figure out what to do with my Rc motors and now I have an answer! great crash!!

    Reminds me of a time my son caught his hand in a large mouse trap in the garage. No matter how much sense things make to an adult, you can never forget to warn your kids about things. I still cannot forgive myself for that incident, even though he came out of it just fine, and didn't cry much.

  24. kevman
