I would like to present my motorized and remote controlled (IR) version of this year's Monster Truck set (42005). My first goal was to keep the overall look and dimensions the same as the official model: The wheels, chassis and body are in the same positions, Only the axles, inner workings, and battery box have changed. My second goal was to somehow get the vehicle to have both steering and 4WD: As you can see above, I achieved the steering by making the entire front and rear axles turn via the use of gear racks and 6L links, while the drive goes through the ball joints, differentials, and portal hubs. Steering is handled by a PF Servo Motor, while drive is handled by a PF L motor. It is powered by a PF Rechargeable Battery, and a PF IR Receiver V2. My third goal was to increase the vehicles clearance as much as possible: And my last goal was to maintain a good amount of articulation: I had to modify the suspension attachment to allow an extra degree of movement to allow the suspension to operate smoothly. It runs quite well over small obstacles, however it is very top-heavy, so it does roll over quite easily. This isn't helped by the fact that as it turns, it leans outwards (opposite to how a skateboard works). Here are the parts (guts) that I had to remove from the original model: All pictures can be clicked on for larger versions at Brickshelf (once moderated). Here are some more pics: And last but not least, here is a link to the LDraw file: 42005_motorized_monster_truck.mpd Overall I am pleased that I was able to get this motorized given that there was only a small space to work with, and the model is very sturdy. I hope you like my motorized and RC 42005 Monster Truck. Any and all feedback/constructive criticism welcome. Edit: I have submitted this MOC to Rebrickable. Edit: I have created a quick video: Sorry about the audio quality - it was a very windy day!

Hi, everybody! I bring to your attention the new work under the name Monster Truck - Bigfoot VS Crawler. In this work, apparently from the name two models are presented at once. At first we will consider model under the name Bigfoot. It is model alteration from a set of 6867 Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape: After reorganization such Bigfoot turned out here: General views of model: Functional features: - the door of a body opens as standard doors - cabin doors open But to get a minifig, it is necessary to remove a roof all the same: Cabin furniture quite simple - a wheel, the check point lever, a seat sofa: The driver of this car in comparison with the model: Now we pass to the second model - Crawler. I bore idea of this car long, looked through other works and at last decided to construct! On mine the model turned out successful! In order that to construct it it was necessary to sort and start up on a detail one of sets the technician of 9392 Quad Bike. General views: Functional features of model: - leaning-back back door - opening doors of a cabin One of the main functional features of model is the working suspender! Suspender structure the quite simple: Suspender work: - the car in an initial condition - use of both suspender - only forward suspender - only back suspender To get a minifig too it is necessary to remove a roof: Cabin equipment in this model is richer, than at Bigfoot! On by wheel and the check point lever, you can see the dashboard and the TV! I think when you go on such car it is possible not to look at the road! The driver in comparison with a car: Now comparative photo of both models: Further I suggest to compare data of model with the standard Lego models! And now we will compare our giants to my MOCs! Result: - Bigfoot is good on many sites on off road terrain, but in the city it far won't leave! - Crawler - perfectly feels both on off road terrain, and in the city! I wait for your comments and... excuse me for my bad English!

Hello! As I have recently moved to Vancouver, most of my Lego has been, and still is, packed in boxes. On my move, I purchased set 42005 Monster Truck (admittedly for the tires, ball joints and frames!). I have really enjoyed this small set, but the more I play with/look at 42005 I feel like TLG didn't do a very good job on the bodywork. I have tried to remedy this! Have a look... Mod: 42005 Mod Oringinal: 42005

Yeap this is happening! So I'm very impressed with this rough draft chassis, capable of driving over and off a 4Litre tray of Lego. But I don't know what the car is if it is a "REAL" car. Does anyone know what make it is? Thought I would also show my homemade lipo that cost me.....$5 TOTAL! Of course I already have a RC charger to charge the batteries. Any questions please feel free to ask!
