    cute as a little button - very well finished - should be an official set!
  2. Rockbrick
    its almost worth buying the set for this C model only.... very nice indeed my local toysRus still has 42000 in stock too but not worth it after seeing this!

    these wheels are great but I find the hubs crack and break on the old grey ones - (black and yellow ok so far) though with enough wheels 12kg is 2 kg per wheen which is over what you would need anyway

    depends on the diffs the lower profile none-bevelled ones may fit but would make the body too long for us city slickers diffs are more of anecessity as no grass or soil to off road and allow wheel slip at home the need for diffs is greater on polished floors

    indeed it is very helpful, I got my 9398 box damaged and without guarrantee of missing parts, at a great price so I took the risk, I compared to a review (I forget whose it was) which had excellent pictures of all the bags and I found I was missing nothing luckily... but I sure would not have taken the risk without having a reference point

    so you need lots of pens then....

    I would try to use two centre differentials - longitudonally set - the left one would be between the left wheels and the right between the right wheels

    quite simply......Nuts! as crazy as a bag of babies

    there is still a lot of manual intervention needed (adding the weights, putting the 'feet' on the end of the (Grey? ) stabiliser pistons but you can imagine a team of minifigs running around sorting all this out ....

    very compact and great idea to use the mindstorms for regulation and winding

    8880 was the last great B model - model - they should bring it back in studless for an anniversary or something

    This is how great MOCs start and evolve - with feedback and participation from others... shame you're not doing it 4x4 but who knows as you have not finished yet

    17 : 10 18 : 6 1 : 4 9 : 3 8 : 2 11 : 1 these 6 had the wow factor for me - and in order of how playable and more likely lego would end up making these one day.

    in the end I thnk LEgo does bad B models on purpose... "I can do better than that" will make us try more and then need extra parts so we buy more sets (in the pre-bricklink days) or more bricks nowadays

    some great PP machines here:

    slow steering on a monster like this is not a bad thing.... I always had problems with Hydraulic steering - yours looks great - return to center is the key to make it useable Master/slave system would work but only if filled with oil/fluid

    8421 - no B model just a cherry picker! that set has way more potential for B models than that
  18. Rockbrick
    ...and lets not get started with the energy needed to manufacture the parts, greases, oils etc... that keep the friction down - totally inefficient if you ask me having to wait for all those prehistoric forests to decompose into oil
  19. Rockbrick
    should be - but I'd recommend an airtank or two.... or use two pumps like 8455 does...
  20. Rockbrick
    my nearest TRU had loads of F1 42000 in stock all of a sudden...
  21. Rockbrick
    seeing the chrome bricks on the other thread makes me think this would be awesome with loadsa chrome
  22. Rockbrick
    Mine got rust and they have never been in water! where we live has very high humidity...
  23. Rockbrick
    I have all those 90s parts too - can't wait to make two and race them with the kids
  24. Rockbrick
    And there we all thought 3d printing would kill off ancient sculpting techniques like these...
