Welp, I intend to enter the TC 29 with this, but I am not 100% sure I will finish it........so I am just going to post the progress and see if I will make it and then change the name of the topic for the contest. The model is roughly based on the ”Major Payne” tank, a tracked rat-rod made for a monster truck tournament. If you want more information about the actual monster ”truck”, here are some build insights: https://info.jepistons.com/its-a-bird...its-a-plane...its-a-blown-alcohol-hot-rod-on-a-tank-chassis- And, something about my model: as most of my builds, it aims to be as close as possible to a hobby RC model. Soo: no interior, no gearbox or other functions; just a simple detachable bodywork and as much speed as it can have. The model uses 2x PF L motors geared up to 1:2.33 (28-12t) and 1x BuWizz 3.0 hub. Without the BuWizz unit, the model has a weight of 407 g /around 14.35 oz. Initially, I was thinking of installing some kind of suspension system and 2x buggy motors, but, due to the size constraints, I opted for 2x PF L motors and just some swinging bogies. Also, the model has a detachable bodywork and fake engine. I will start the build in a few weeks, but until then, here are some images of the digital W.I.P.. -
Hello, I’m Kevin, 32 years old from Willebroek, Belgium. I’m now building a Castle themed setting which is nearly finished. My latest MOC is this Custom truck, I finished this in late November 2017. The car is based on a 1930 Ford Model AA truck with custom chassis, RWD drivetrain, suspension and several other details. I tried to incorporate as many technical details as I could. Since it’s brick built, those technical details don’t work, they are esthetical except for steering.. More on Flickr -
Hi to all, I haven't posted anything new here for a while. It was started as a model team style hot-rod but I don't have any crome parts except this 4 wheel so there is! My main goal was make lowest steer-able vehicle. Ground clearence is about 1 plate/half liftarm.

[MOC] Small Rat Rod
rhplus posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello, I'm back in business after some years of dark age and I want to present you my new MOC, which is actualy a facelifted version of my older rat rod presented here years earlier. The model is build from scratch using current pieces and building techniques, sharing the main concept with its predecessor. Model features drag link steering operated steering wheel in cockpit, openable doors, detailed fake engine and fuel tank. I hope you will like it! -
Hello, let me present to you my entry to Model Team contest. It is a rat rod derived from 1930 something Ford. Size of the model is 14 x 27 studs (edit: including wheels), it has functional hot rod drag-link steering connected with steering wheel, openable doors on driver's side (I have not enough hinges to make it on both sides :) and V8 show engine. pirate theme on passenger doors :) spartan interior, fire extinguisher is a must in such cars... this was the biggest challenge and my main motivation for this MOC. To make a compact and most realistic steering system and fit it into small car. It is quite steep but otherwise it works very well. Thanks for watching, and feel free to put some comments below!

Hello, today I show you my latest MOC: The Roadster. My ’32 Ford roadster is probably one of the most classic and iconic “old school” Hot Rod around. Recently people has discovered again the old school Hot Rods with their smooth design, classic colors and without frills. Original and vintage Hot Rods are considered today as a treasure to conserve and preserve indeed they are sought after and very expensive. I'm fascinated by classic Rods and for this I built this Ford ’32 Roadster with the body of a Ford Model B, released by the American manufacturer from 1932 to 1934, painted in total black. The Roadster fits the V8 flathead with three carburettors and wheels are "oversized" respect to the original ones that were narrower (I didn’t find LEGO wheels that fitted well, at least to me). I used few chromed parts that I think look great on the car. I especially like the big rims with the chromed dish 4 x 4 inverted (Radar). The engine is made of light grey bricks with a touch of chrome. I like to imagine this Roadster racing at Bonneville Speedway in the fifties. Racing number: 74, of course! Below few pictures The Roadster in my garage, the engine has been overhauled and ready to be placed into the car The back: refined and graceful. The racing number on the doors The Roadster has been blogged by: The Brothers Brick The Lego Car Blog More pictures and details on flickr Thanks for your attention. All the best and happy building!
