I am happy that you like. The main aim of this moc was to have a nice and moved displayed moc at Fana'briques. People like when something moves on the table during the exhibition (better than static moc). :) In this way, I have also displayed my cuckoo clock and centrifugal tachometer.

I love it ! Does the picture is a little pull up ? (little heigh deformation visible on tyres).

The HF pdf is online : http://www.nico71.fr/trial-jeep/ I ahve also corrected some mistakes. have a nice builting :)

Many thanks to people who gave me feedback regarding the BI. I will correct the mistakes (10..) and publish the finished PDF :)

It is nice from you but please remove the link. I want to be the only one who distribute the PDF (very important for me). For the moment, I don't have the possibility to do the PDF. In second, the PDF will be in high resolution, in twice more resolution. The PDF you make is based on low resolution sample on my webiste (but still enough to built). So please be patient until I publish the PDF. The PDF will be release in only one week. And thanks for the comment :)

I will present my Trial Jeep : The jeep is a AWD built for truck trial. It is for me a new breakthrough with 5-link portal live axle, new frame, completly new design with the BB inside (on the lowest point) and with differentials. Yes I know why differentials in TT ? In fact I was boring by the Trial truck which don't turn enought, so I would implement this and it works ! Of course sometime the wheel slip but I prefered with the differential, regarding tunring abilities. The clibbing abilities are good, thanks to the axle. I have also included detailed interior with dashboard, seat, rearseat, exhaust. The bodywork is also modular, it is fixed with only pins. You can see here the drivetrain, with the main gear-box and axle. Last but not the least : I have done a complete building instruction in 41 pages. Visit http://www.nico71.fr/trial-jeep/ for the building instructions. And to finish, a complete rendering of the model : I hope you will apreciated. It is for me my best Truck trial, and I like the design, more than normal truck.

As the PFS-M motor turn slower, I must change the centrifugal governor : add weigh or increase the lenght of beam. :)

The principle is very simple, I let you discover my mechanical tachometer : http://www.nico71.fr/centrifugal-tachometer/ Design for Fanabriques 2011 exhibition.

Hello ! Diferentials for me were a first try. I have also planed to create the building instructions. As usual David, thanks for posting my moc ! And don't hesitate to go to my website to see more pictures.

some news : I have figure out all problem I have for the payment BUT I will not launch finally the service. I explain you why : In fact I have always done my work in lego for free and now selling instruction embarrasses me. I think (finally) that selling thnig from hobbys is not the correct way to develop it. Although the price is low, I consider that the most valuable thing I can do to develop and encourage the production of instruction is providing for free. I don't judge people who sell instructions, because this is their choices but for me I assume that it is not the right way to monetize our passion (I already receive incomes from youtube for my videos so the money is not the point for me). Concerning the amount of time to create an instruction, if I had launched the service, I would have spent lot of time to create instructions and not to create models (creation is important for me). So many thank for people who contact me to become a instruction sellers. Continue to give for free, it is more rewarding for me :)

And many thank to you Eric, to have figured out lot of problem I had :)

And the instructions are available ! http://www.nico71.fr/supercar-roadster/ 63 pages - 1690 parts and a high resolution PDF available on my website. I hope you will apreciate :)

Here is the detailed pictures of the chassis, more understandable now :) http://www.nico71.fr/all-terrain-wood-transport/ http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=470833 :)

I have made the instruction as detailed pictures : http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=459249 http://www.nico71.fr/integraph-graphic-planimeter/ I encourage you to build it because it is a interesting device :)

Hello, the instructions are available. There are detailed pictures but I think it is enough to rebuilt it : http://www.nico71.fr/road-grader/ http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=464069 :)

Hello, do you need instruction ? Because I make the video to show you how to build this but if you need some other picture, I can do it :) As Zblj has pointed out : you can also compare two identical motors with pluging the two motor on one battery box. :)

Many thanks ! So, I invite all builders (train, pirate, town castle.. ) to come here to give their opinions and contact me if they are instruction builders :)

Of course ! The seller can propose the instructions for free but in order to avoid free concurence, I think I can't accept all instructions. Also some paid instructions must be on the shop, because of the price of the hosting. Also, the paypal payment is very fast (with creadit card or paypal account) so, even if the seller ask 1€, It works and it always good for the seller. I am wondering, if is it possible to move on the Topic to a general field ? I think I will have more answer beacause in fact, the project is about all lego theme. Can a moderator do that ?

I have found an instruction which represents exactly what I told : http://www.nxtprograms.com/ball_coaster/steps.html Intelligible, comprehensible avec without LPUB4.0. So You can submit this type of instruction :)

I think it may not be a problem. In fact, there are different conditions in order to have a comprehensible instruction : -you must include the part you need for each step (this is not a dismantling instructions) -the assembly must be without ambiguity (where I put this part ? Left, righ ..) -the instructions must have a bill of material in picture (for quick check) You see that the assembly line (and so the picture) must be intelligible and comprehensible. You can add text of arrow on your picture. Consequently, you will see that build a picturing instructions takes maybe the same time as the PDF generate with LPUB4.0 (at the same quality) If the modeling is hard for you, I advice you to try SR3D builder, to work with sub model and keyboard shortcuts. Since I have began to use mlcad, I spent 200h of a loader, with SR3D, now I spent almost 20h. On the other hand, Lpub4.0 take also lot of time. Also, I think, with a picturing instruction, you will have less sale because it is not so clear than a PDF generate with Lpub4.0. As usual, if you have plans, don't hesitate to submit to me. I will put soon on Internet the FAQ for seller and buyer (help for the price, conditions, how the seller are paid ..). I think it will be a bit clearer. :) Nico71

Good new : the website works ! Including relailing, distribution, payment and manage the multi-sellers. I finalyse and I will launch soon :) As usal : if you are a builder and if you are interested in publishing your instructions of my website (with incomes of course), you can contact me !

@mahjqa : as Plastic Nurak have told you, if you are interested in automated system to sell your instructions, don't hesitate to contact me :)

Here are the results : Many thanks for your participation ! It is very useful for me to know what you want and what you need. According to the result, I have decided to develop the digital PDF sale shop, then the printed building instructions. Despite the large amount of people who are interested in complete package, there are not enough for paying 125%-150% of the Lego price. Because this is the real price for crafted sets (depends on the price of Bricklink). Consequently, I have decided to NOT release this type of product at the moment. Concerning the E-shop for buying building instruction, I am currently working on a E-shop which enables ALL builders to sell their PDF. The builders will be able to use the E-shop to put the instructions up for sale and receive incomes with an automatic retailing and a download section. If you are a builder, and if you are interested in selling your PDF instructions, please contact me ! I am sure that you will be interested in my E-shop. :)

@Voltio : do you think that a complete list of part in a jpeg file is enough ? Including a brickstore file will be a bit complicated but I will think about it. @PlasticNurak : I don't know how to figure out your problem, but I can tell you that none of mlcad or sr3d builder create instructions. When you have finished your model, you open in mlcad (the file must be in .ldr or .asm if it is a assembly), then add the rotation step and normal step. Then save and open with Lpub4.0. This is Lpub4.0 which will generate your building instructions. Search on google : Lpub4.0, there is a tutorial. The survey is closed ! I will publish the result soon :)
