LDD MOC - Triclotron

[Toa_Of_Justice]

The Triclotron is a 3-wheeled vehicle that demonstrates some building ideas. In particular, check out the front wheel mounts and the rear wheel!

< The front wheels are able to tilt left and right independently.

< Here's how I built the rear wheel. Unfortunately, LDD does not recognize this as a valid connection. I used a similarly-sized hub in the tire in order to position it properly.

Very cool model! And really innovative!

Sure, all those part doesn't exist in Bright Green, and some of the connections may be a bit fragile, but it's a really nice concept.

More like that please

The profile shot looks really sleek! I feel like the front wheel housings are a bit blocky from other angles, though. If you were able to reduce the amount of brick around each wheel I think it would improve the sleekness.

Ideas like this one don't come very often to me, but if I do another model similar to this one, I'll be sure to post it on Eurobricks.

How's this?

My 9 year old just came into the room when I had the triclotron on the screen.

"Wooow, that's cool!" was the spontaneous reaction.

So Toa, you've got your first customer.

Oh, wow, yeah - that's a vast improvement, I think!
