Something I notice is the lego motors are either full on or full off and this makes models look jerky. Maybe if it took a couple of seconds to get to full speed and the same when stopping it would smooth everything out, also it would put less stress on gears.

Theres something on amazon but is it small enough? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Chaser-Beacon-Microcontroller-Light-Show/dp/B00B68W38C/ref=sr_1_65?ie=UTF8&qid=1390251205&sr=8-65&keywords=led+light+beacon

In days of old logic dictated that when people passed each other on the road they should be in the best possible position to use their sword to protect themselves. As most people are right handed they therefore keep to their left. This practice was formalised in a Papal Edict by Pope Benefice around 1300AD who told all his pilgrims to keep to the left. :D

Those lights really do add realism, good stuff.

At first I thought it was as easy as changing 150 to 300 but its not lol, the normal pdf is fine and thx for your hard work because I've had a taste of difficult the ldraw package is to use.

YIKES!!! £56 to get this printed at staples, double sided photo paper and 4 sets of knock off inks £20 all in, cost of printing this at home roughly £12 which is pretty good price. Could I ask for a 300dpi pdf or latest mpd so I can run it though lpub to generate 300dpi instructions? Thanks.

Quite a few parts from the 8043 look like they can be used and I have that set, I'm eager to build this :D

Check batteries are ok, if not then connect the servo to another channel to rule out the transmitter, then straight to the battery.

Sounds like the servo needs to be centered, try and move the black cogs off the steering rack then power the servo so it centers itself.

That's the biggest test of all, if it handles the punishment from kids then its doing well. My next project was going to be a quad, someone beat it to it a while ago, all from set 9398 ... http://www.eurobrick...topic=85437&hl=

Forget my XL madness, just a quick question, is it designed to climb stairs?

XL motor on each wheel, XL motor in the middle, 3 XL motors spinning everything.

Front suspension keeping the track tight so its super smooth, very nice.

Wires holder, rear bumper/battery reinforcement, steering reinforcement, side fairing, wheels widened and also some reinforcement on the top strut. Does it come in black?.....oh it is black :D Some really innovative mods going on there and slowing it down makes it controllable instead of banging into everything :D

What about have categories like remote controlled, power functions assisted, mechanical.

Having something to aim for is always good to push development further.

Maybe some kind of launch assistance to help it along.

First time I seen a moc from a alien race of horse people Soaks up the terrain and bumps like nothing I've seen, nothing beats off road better than tracks. Any plans for instructions?

There are just two 9398 alternates on rebrickable, ever think about putting your quad up on there? Lego needs alternate builds, but that's just my humble opinion. :D Also rebrickable does alternate comps, in fact they just finished one with a $100 prize but the 9398 was not included.

It does fly and looks fun, maybe there is a way to up the flight time so it gains more interest, PS. those high speed cameras are so cool.

Thx, its up on rebrickable... http://rebrickable.c...M1971/honda-atc Simple PDF instructions... http://www56.zippysh...17024/file.html Going to have a go at proper instructions using ldraw or whatever it is they use :D

I don't know how I missed this topic, great moc.

Nimble little car with good steering. Black insulating tape on the rear wheel gets my mocs drifting and it dont show in the video, but thats cheating hehe

Still wait to try this instructions out, ordered the parts before xmas and they took 5 weeks to arrive and even then a few were the wrong parts, the correct parts are coming in a few days, or at least I hope so. Tuesday (payday) I will take to pdf to staples and get a printed binded book, I'll put up some pics if it all goes to plan and nothing else stupid things happens :D

Hover convertions are not until 2015 so how will it fly?
