Steel Crawler

Hey everyone, Here is a new rendition of a crawler I built years ago. Re-did the whole model in the old, first generation slotted pins www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=115080&hl=molds and also used a variety of other methods to strengthen the model. Check out my mocpages for more information. http://mocpages.com/...hp/422162����It is a little bit of a read but I think well worth it. Quickly, the goal of this model was to make it strong enough to really utilize all the power PF XL motors provide. I think often we get caught up in complaining that they are too weak.... when actually, I think they are fairly strong, slow, but strong. I think the real problem with lack of power in some builds is simply not using the power effectively. A lot of power can get lost in bad Technic connections and /or the axles.

Having some fun with my 9398 and doing some mostly cosmetic mods. I saw the 'why black?' thread so I thought it might be appropriate to post my all black chassis version of the rock crawler featuring a modified blown v8 of which the base was designed by someone named legomaniacman on youtube. The plan is to make some kind of crazy mid 50's semi truck body with road warrior style barbs and spears etc. I'm a big fan of the original Road Warrior film and I love the new Fury Road trailer. I'm working on setting up the motor for the v8 which looks fantastic as it spins. I also want to rig a rumble device to shake the blown motor which will be on a separate IR / remote. -
Hey Guys, So I decided to go back to one of my first MOCs and wanted to rebuild the whole thing. Going with live axles, XL motor mounted directly to it, then geared down to 1:3 and have the knob gears to finally deliver the power to the wheels. I will probably do the front end tomorrow. So what do you guys think? Too overkill? :P And this is V1 -
Hey, this is my first post on Eurobricks so if there is anything that I am doing incorrectly in this post, please let me know. I am presenting my Rock Crawler, or more specifically, my Carrot Crawler. Features: -Triangulated 4-link suspension using the Lego soft shock absorbers. -One PF XL motor per axle (a total of two), each geared down 1:2.779. -Custom portal hubs for each wheel. -Ackerman Steering with slight caster angle powered by PF M motor geared down 1:3.333 including a worm gear. -Rechargeable LiPo battery box as power source. -Controlled by a SBrick and an iPhone 6. -RC4WD 1.9" Super Swamper crawler tires. This has been a work in progress for a long time and I feel that it is finally polished enough to showcase on the Eurobricks community. My plans for fixing and editing this crawler (Some of which, I have already begun working on) include: -Building a better chassis (the angled pieces on top of it don't REALLY fit, but I made them fit! ) -Eliminate gear slippage caused by the perpendicular bevel gears. -Mount the XL motors parallel to the axles which would both eliminate gear slippage and provide more ground clearance. Here is a picture: And here is a video: Please give my any suggestions for my post and more importantly, my crawler! Thanks
