Hello everyone! It's been a little while since I last posted; things have been busy with school, some health problems, and other things, but now I'm back with a fresh MOC, a RAM pickup truck, powered by BuWizz and 2 buggy motors! Here's a video of the model: I was fairly satisfied with the result. In low gear, this thing generates a ton of torque and still maintains decent speed, although the open differentials and low ground clearance make it struggle off-road at times. In high gear, the truck achieves decent speeds, but only on very flat surfaces. The biggest issue in high gear is that the whole drive train spins very fast, to compensate for the gearing down of the planetary hubs, and so a lot of energy is lost to friction. In summary, the features are: • 4x4 drive with 2 x buggy motors • Planetary wheel hubs • 2-speed gearbox • IFS and live axle rear suspension • PF LED headlights Here are some more photos of the model: The full photo album is on my BrickSafe here: https://bricksafe.com/pages/Teo_LEGO_Technic/ram-pick-up Overall, it was a fun little experiment. For my next MOC, I'm planning to build a rock crawler to compete in a local truck trial competition here in Toronto (If anyone is interested, please reach out, we will gladly take new contestants ). Hope you guys enjoy it! Any constructive criticism is much appreciated, as always, although I will say I'm done with this MOC and won't be making any changes, but I can use ideas on future builds. -
A heck of a pickup truck! It's RC! There ae several functions: -Suspension (positive caster on front, live axle on rear) -Opening doors and hood -8-speed gearbox -Drive and steering That's it! Thanks! BrickbyBrickTechnic -
Here's my latest WIP, the Ram 1500. This is mostly based on my desire to do a vehicle with 8 speeds. Ram 1500 has an 8-speed transmission in reality. The model has several functions in place already: -Steering -Drive (4x4) -Suspension (Front has positive caster angle, rear live axle) -8 speed transmission with 90-degree shift (Not done yet) Here's a picture: Drive is with 1 xl motor right now, but it will be changed to 2 as 1 does not have enough torque for gears 6, 7, and 8. Steering is with 1 m motor. The front suspension has a positive Caster angle. It was built by angling the suspension beams and securing them to the chassis. The rear axle is incredibly weak right now. PLEASE LEAVE A SUGGESTION FOR OW I CAN IMPROVE IT. Here's the gearbox up close. The entire section of the chassis is extremely dense, but the is no gear slipping when driving. Please leave a suggestion, and I will update the thread soon! Thanks for your attention.

Here are some hydraulic tools for Fire & Rescue. First, the Jaws of Life, the hydraulic cutters. Not so much modification done on this one except for the tiny little piece of flex tube connecting the hose to the compressor. Next a large hydraulic ram. This time with a little bit more modding. The outer tube is obviously a 3.5L flex tube, The extension is a long grey antenna. Last we have a small hydraulic ram, perfect for a dash board lift Again a 2L flex tube and the top of the antenna Please let me know what you think
