  1. Ok, build and do some tests. Hold a wheel with your hand - and look, to divetrain. Guess - bevel gears / u -joints will break, or motor will stop?
  2. Maybe yes. But deffinately not for polish trtr condintions and terrain. This is reason why this is weak for me personally.
  3. Now maybe is powerful, but add 1 kg of weight, and those bevel gears will break.
  4. 4L Universal joints. And those Bevel gears: Heavy duty? I think this word isnt perfect for this axles.
  5. Got 8043 couple of days ago. Parts - really good set. But as model, it sucks. Why? M Motors doesnt have enough power to raise excavator arm, or drive smoothly whole excavator. Visual - model is awesome (ofc without stickers, stickers sucks ! :P)
  6. i have bought one yesterday, waiting for shipping. All costs: 640 PLN (157 EUR or 203 USD)
  7. [ First project, finished couple of weeks ago, but failed. 6x6x2 Drive: XL motor: 1:9 Reduction Steering: M motor: 1:9 Reduction Winch: M motor: 1:40 Reduction PF Lights 2 or 3 battery boxes. Why Failed? One XL motor, used as driving motor had not enough torque to drive this monster (3,5 kg) through obstacles (does not meet my expectations, and was taken apart). And sometimes, whole model had tendecy to fall over, while passing through uneven terrain.
  8. 10212 Imperial Shuttle - review by dmac, in polish: http://www.lugpol.pl/forum/viewtopic.php?p=154578
