    You know a great moc when you show it too your dad and he sighs, because he knows your going to spend all your money on parts :P Excellent indeed.

    The lipo is way too expensive, I agree with you there. The AA/AAA sanyo eneloop batteries are very good, very little discharge when idle so they last quite a long time.

    Found these finger skateboard things ... http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dtoys&field-keywords=skatelab

    I'm sure there is a market for obstacles, races would be so much fun too, your course has so many good features and I hope you can put it together :)

    Thanks for comments, I have 87% of the parts and will build this asap. (and hopefully it will work :P) I do like the blue and grey :)

    Sweet course, I know from testing the 41999 can climb no more than 30 degrees and 45 degrees with the winch. I'm working on collapsible pyramids and a ramp with fibreboard and door hinges, or at least I will be when I get paid on tuesday :D

    Based on the Tamiya Hornet, 2 XL motors of which one needs to be reversed on the controller, full suspension and steering on the front. Feel free to make this from the LDD file http://rebrickable.c...s/JM1971/hornet , colour suggestions welcome.

    I dont have a ipad/iphone, I spend all my money on pc games and lego I'll look for mods for the train controller as well.

    There is a lipo sized battery box that uses AAA batteries, much cheaper too ... http://powerfunction...ault.aspx#88000

    https://github.com/i.../lego-pf-ir-360 Its that same Arduino device mentioned by JopieK. EDIT: Can arduino control multiple lego pf's and automate stuff?

    I've seen videos of people using a xbox controller on mindstorms, this would be ideal for a rock crawler and gain access to fine control with a return to center.

    Active Suspention ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_suspension Or what about magnetic suspention comes to mind, get a couple of neodyme magnets opposing each other to act as the absober?

    Thx! Its all a bit crude atm, but just gatering data, ramp test with and without winch ...

    Built a test pyramid out of cardboard ... http://www.flickr.com/photos/100055104@N08/9644835806/ Angle of the sides is about 30 degrees.

    I watched 'The Young Ones' a couple of weeks ago and Madness are on there a few times, soon as I saw your pic I knew what it was :)
  17. JM1971
    Ken Block style :D The 51999 can manage about 30 degrees on bare fibreboard, not as much has I though but still impressive.

    When everything goes right, the right size wheels, the right motors, gearing and weight distribution then it really becomes more than the some of its parts, really excellent design.

    Nice build, would be interesting to see how it stacks up against the Panda 4x4 by PiterX, is that 2 XL motors in there?
  20. JM1971
    Same here, racing these babies against each other would be very cool :)
  21. JM1971
    Yeah, too small. Hardboard/Fiberboard (the stuff on the back of wardrobes) is cheap, I'm thinking 9 - 200mm x 200mm x 100mm high hollow pyramids that can stack up for easy storage, easier said than done :D
  22. JM1971
    The plastic pyramids in this video, can you buy them? ... Or maybe some kind of fiberglass rockery, what do people use to make courses? I did find there fence post caps ... http://www.tsdistributors.com/iron/ornamental-metals/post-caps/plastic-post-caps/plastic-ball-top-post-caps/

    For a small car it flies over rough ground :D Does your camera have auto-steady or is that done during editing?
  24. JM1971
    From the outside you would never guess there was 2 motors and a servo in there, impressive use of bricks.

    VIDEO XL Motors and geared up ... http://www.flickr.co...N08/9622106504/ I don't recommend doing this because the motors limit suspension travel and the torque from the xl motors distorts the structure a little, but it is fun :)
