Hey all, First of all, I did not create this! The Lego C64 was created by Perifractic's retro recipes on youtube. I am only a fan who is posting this here for getting him some support for the project :-D. Here is the youtube video playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7QScsJIdNE1VHpfgQSmnuXbgO01RcI_Z Here is the lego ideas project you can support: Lego C64 on Lego Ideas. You can also buy one from his website: Perifractic's website Tibivi -
tibivi replied to Jurss's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI love the new selector pieces and the orange connectors are a welcome treat. Also like that there are two instruction books, so you don't have such a heavy book like the Porsche. And the inside of the box is just gorgeous. At first I thought I wouldn't buy it, but now I'm positive I will have to. Great job to the designers! EDIT: I also wonder if the windscreen A pillars are part of a monocoque chassis, because it's made up from beams too.

tibivi replied to Jurss's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI really like what I see so far. No huge gaps, interesting body angles and somewhat nice design. Good Job at the designer for sure! You can tell Lego listens to their fanbase I you see the differences from the Porsche to this. Only thing I don't like much is the upright angle of the seat headrests, like in the Porsche as well, nobody could comfortably sit in those :-) I look forward to see the functions and the rest of it.

tibivi replied to Sebeus I's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingAwesome start, looking forward to your progress. I really like the smooth lines of the chassis btw. Tibivi

tibivi replied to kennywest's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modelingvery cool! Also already a nice start, I look forward to more.

tibivi replied to Jurss's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingIf there are no new hubs, that probably means that there is no suspension geometry sadly. Because the new rims can be connected with pulley wheels to the old hubs, therefore there will be 1 stud greater distance between the pivot point and the rim. I would like to see the curved lines done with flex axles, for smoother flowing lines.

tibivi replied to doug72's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI had exactly the sameproblem, but I don't think it had something to do with the Mac update. As I updated Monday and the issue didn't start till yesterday evening. Probably site maintenance I thought.

tibivi replied to dikkie klijn's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThis one is indeed your best to date, it is truly beautiful. :D I really like the attention to detail on the whole build. Great job done!

tibivi replied to Erik Leppen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI think you did a nice job designing this supercar, you can tell there has been thought over lots of details. I like the blinker lights on the front bumper, a detail you don't see often in moc's. Only thing I would change IMO are the two inner most flex axles in the bonnet, and place them over the rear wheels. I think this would make the whole car flow together well. But as you stated, you like it this way, and that's what matters most in a moc. BTW; The overal shape does remind me of your Bugatti EB110, which is not a bad thing.

tibivi replied to nico71's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI really like this one, I just love those futuristic styled cars from the atomic/jet era. Also, the whole cockpit sliding open is an awesome feature. The only thing I could say is that maybe the front has somewhat much of a DS-vibe, but that's only my thought. For all I know that was maybe your intension. :p Great car and I'll probably reverse engineer it to have on my shelf. EDIT: I read your article and saw that you already have BI, much appreciated.

tibivi replied to StudRobotics's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingYou can check out some of Jaco4's videos on youtube, he has some nice designs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4VQn_we-D8 Or one of these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CKJ-0Y7Xjo tibivi

tibivi replied to Aventador2004's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingWell, 4 from 2 8366 supersonic rc's, 4 from 2 8475 buggy, one from 8421, one from the accessory pack and Three bought separately. I was into them some years ago before they went expensive and I putted them in almost every new mod I made for the reasons above. Back then I was sort of competing with a friend to make the best drivable fast rc car (before brick and such), I also made a huge pick up with 4 rc buggy motors for a pneumatic pump to drive a lpe and there was a challenge to make the 8660 rc with suspension.
-
tibivi replied to Aventador2004's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI have 13 at the moment, but all of them are in use. I think that they are fantastic motors because of power, shape and the sound they make. :p

tibivi replied to Attika's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThis is just awesome. I know how hard it can be to get a lego car in this scale actually drifting within control of the driver. Also most of the drift moc's I've seen only slide or just spin around. But this is actually thought out and it shows. I will probably try to reverse engineer it to learn from it. Can I ask what RC wheels those are, and I really like the mounting solution. Tibivi

tibivi replied to CM4Sci's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingIndeed, I spotted that too. Also, I think that the headlight covers of the tow truck are somewhat too far out of the body.
-
tibivi replied to CM4Sci's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingIt seems like you can make a new version of the car chassis with the smaller sets together. Maybe you can make another special model with the bigger sets together? Like maybe a modern interpretation of the 8880? That would be awesome. I like the the fire truck and the 42069, but I don't like the looks of the tow truck. With the tow truck, I think you can switch (with the white bionic tooth on the cab) from drive mode to crane mode. So you can drive and steer or have the outriggers and crane. That would also explain the lack of a steering gear on the remote.

tibivi replied to dziadziosamozlo's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI really like what I see, the hoses for springs is a cool method that I only saw few times and I think that the chassis is nice. You will probably have some flex if you keep the 1 layer of beams with your bodywork. I also like the caster and steering angle. Do you know what type of body it will be, e.g.: no gaps or contour lines with flex axles? I think the ae86 a good choice as it is a iconic yet smaller drift car. Tibivi

tibivi replied to Didumos69's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI have used (and seen) them a couple of times, but not only for chassis stiffness/rigidity but also because I needed the complex angle for attaching e.g. parts of the bodywork or headlights. Or like tubular chassis for a monster truck. Where I think probably everyone has used them is in suspension links (theoretically then, not for stiffness). Anyway, it does indeed come in handy for what you're using it for; rigidity in chassis. Tibivi

I have the exact same problem, but I'm using safari on Mac. Here also it is only happening on the technic forum. When I click 'next' or 'previous page' the screen grey out like it did right after the forum update, only now it doesn't scroll up and it stays on the same page, then I have to refresh the page to get to the next one.

i have made a few because it is very nice for small and light vehicles. i motorized the pizza planet truck with a train motor, servo and rechargeable battery. i also made three small american trucks with train motors and RTC steering with an m motor, they were specially made for a Brickmania event in 2013 where i had a 7m by 5m circuit that kids could drive on with these trucks. For the kids they ran on rubber tyres and for adults they ran on these: http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=32146&idColor=11#T=C&C=11 With these it actually could drift nicely.

tibivi replied to scynox's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI think this an awesome creation, first of all, it isn't some supercar but a normal hatch, furthermore it has all the suspension geometry and a gearbox. The looks of the front could indeed be better, and as i see at the rest of the build, this should be no problem for you. only bit of criticism could be that the steering links aren't straight so you have toe out, but otherwise this is a great moc.
-
For me personally, this is a must buy. I like the looks and the gearbox and the fact that it has only a working steering wheel and no HoG. I think however that they could've done a better styling job on the chassis. It is so chaotic with all those colors and there is no suspension geometry whatsoever, which is so simple to implement in an car of such scale and with those awesome rims. I must say that the unboxing experience will probably be top notch, just like with 8448, 8466 and some others, i love inner boxes and i think i'll enjoy that instruction booklet. (for which i hope that it won't be to easy, but with multiple changes per step) I am really looking forward to the build of this set

tibivi replied to tomek9210's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingFor the crankshaft i have used this idea from lipko (and maybe others) he used it in his 'kisauto' with a v6: http://www.brickshel...y.cgi?i=5889199 About kingpin inclination: i think it really makes a difference when you 'play' with the model or if it's remote controlled. For the bump steer, i think that you could reduce it by changing your steering linkage, but that would probably make the steering worse. The shock absorber should be adequate for the scale.
-
tibivi replied to tomek9210's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modelingi think it looks pretty good from what i can see, but i think that you're going to have some bump steer. I also think the engine will be to high, but you can solve that easily with a smaller crankshaft. also awesome that you care about axle geometry,

I really like them, very good job modelling them i like the pikes peak version the most, for that huge rear wing
