Hi all! After a five year long break, I’m back with yet another manual 1:10 car. This time not a custom car, but a Dakar rally car (technically a buggy) modeled after an actual car. This is supposed to be a Peugeot 2008 DKR, the comeback of Peugeot to the Dakar rally in 2015. The comeback was not successful in the race, but the concept was. Its successor owned the Dakar in the following years because of the following innovative idea: Rear wheel drive instead of the usual 4 wheel drive. This allowed the car to enter in the buggy category with less restrictions. Anyways, my model’s story is analogous because it was supposed to be my great comeback, but didn't turn out to be that good that I wanted. Features: Independent suspension, with pushrod on the rear Mid mounted V6 fake engine Detailed engine bay 4-speed sequential gearbox and D-N-R selector. Used the stepper mechanism by Didumos HOG steering with working steering wheel Built-in car lifts that can be operated with a small separate tool. It’s operated with a linkage instead of a worm screw mechanism, so it’s not able to lift the car without help, but it’s quickly deployable. I think it’s a good compromise for better playability. Everything opens SPARE WHEELS!!!1 Spare wheels is the main feature of the model because it was the mostest biggest challenge in the whole g… model. I had to ditch adjustable suspension, wheel wells (which is a characteristic visual feature in such high cars), advanced suspension geometry and a stiffer chassis in order to make space for the spares. I redesigned the front suspension from zero at least five times. The gearbox: Sux. For some reason the gearbox stopped working smoothly in first gear when pushed forward, and I never found the cause. Unfortunately the design by @Anto came late, it would have been a perfect fit for the model. As the real car has 6 speed sequential gearbox, and obviously no need for a separate D-N-R selector. Design highlights, experiences, misc: Rollcage. I will make some poorer quality pictures when I’ll have time. This is my first time apart from my very first MOCs that was completely designed without CAD. No proper computer, no time etc. My first model with system pieces not just for tiny details. I think it turned out pretty well. I only used photos as reference, the blueprints that were available were obviously wrong. After almost finishing the model, I realized that I should have simply bought a diecast model for reference. Maybe for my next MOC. My first experience with the flipflop beams. Stickers. Over multiple pieces. Don’t hate me too much. Didn't pay that much attention to everything being in system. Durable, at least 100 people played with the model at an exhibition It’s hard to estimate the work hours, there were days when I only worked on it for five minutes, weeks without any work, etc. It is about 160…200 hours. The suspension stiffness/bounciness is perfect, my best yet Overall I still don’t know if I’m satisfied or not. The biggest problem is that the model isn’t really recognizable, though the task was not easy, because the original car is not that characteristic either. I hope you like it anyway and sorry for the sloppy writing, I’m always in a rush these days. VIDEO: https://youtu.be/ka_mlEmMxNk?si=S0ZGd-FXzU5pUteE -
It's been a while since I posted a personal MOC here, so it's about time to fix that! After the competition we had in Cluj in Romania last year, I decided to make an AWD version for my next competition car and to include the lessons I learned from the Sterrato, Mustang GTEX and others. For this version I used a single BuWizz motor to drive the model, which is realistically placed behind the rear axle. It drives a 28 tooth reinforced differential via a 12 tooth bevel gear from the fast, inner motor axle: Rear differential also drives and axle that in turn drives the normal differential in the front, providing front wheels with power. An L motor steers the front wheel to the maximum angle CV joints can provide, 25°. Exterior is loosely based on the 911 Dakar edition, though some details had to be omitted/recolored due to lack of small panels in white color: I also had to simplify the rear section a bit in order to fit the motor, but it still features details such as LED bar, lights, exhaust and a skid plate: Dimensions: 29 x 12,5 x 8,5 cm Part count: 595 pcs (actually very low for a motorized model at this scale) Weight: 650 grams Thanks to the redesigned front axle which uses the normal diff, I also managed to increase ground clearance to almost a stud, allowing the model to be driven over rough terrain as you can see here: As usual, the LDD file of the model can be downloaded here (remember to update LDD first): https://bricksafe.com/files/Zblj/116-porsche-911-dakar/1 to 16 Dakar 911.lxf While not the fastest or most powerful 1:16 model I've ever built, it sure is one of the, toughest, reliable, robust and simply fun ones to drive so far. To conclude, I'm also really happy with the looks, thankfully Porsches are quite easy to build with Technic and I think it's a good representation. Even kids recognized it as a Porsche while recording the video, which I think is a good sign. -
My fastest vehicle yet, this model is designed to take trails at speed, just like the real trucks to on the deserts of the world. I was quite happy with this, it's fast, but still capable of moderate terrain. it is, just like the real trucks, very easy to flip at speed. Rebrickable LXF file Instructions -
New year, new moc What happens in January since 1979 ? The Dakar Rally (ok...and the Monte Carlo too) So, 1st MOC of the year its a T1+ based pick up What its a T1+ ? Its the new that FIA has given to the new rules for the most evolved cars like the Toyota Hilux , Minis (the new Hybrid Audi its a T1U) All started trying a solution to put the spare wheels underneath the cabin like the official Toyota´s and Mini´s Its has a functional front suspension system. Fragile, ok, but it works. And have some direction too The rear suspension works too, and the rear it´s for me the best part of the MOC (and yes, the real pick ups´s rear are very "empty")

It's lime, mean and fast. It can also go 12 km/h which corresponds to 234 km/h in a full-size truck (scale is 19.5:1). Description and more: http://sariel.pl/2016/09/tatra-dakar-truck/

Hey guys! I'm new here and just got back from the dark ages! Though, reasonably early as I classify as a TFOL! Anyways, this is my first moc and I managed to build it in a day! Because my collection is reasonably small I am incredibly proud of it :D Please watch the video and give me feedback! Thanks guys! -
Good Day. I present to you my biggest MOC ever - a futuristic dakar truck. This is a project I have started back in February to make it in time to the arrrival of BuWizz , or that is what I had planned. For propulsion it is using only one buggy motor , what isn't the best idea because the motor ends overheating. But it is possible to install a second buggy motor with a bit of chassis re-design. To fill a bit the huge truck, I installed a X16 engine- courtesy of ZBLJ. The steering uses 1x m-motor , without any return-to-center mechanism thanks to the precise control with the BuWizz brick. The outside design was heavily inspired by 00's sets ( specially 8466) , and I included gull-wing doors with mini linear actuators . m-motors can be installed easily to motorize that function too, but I used two knobs on top of the cabin . The interior was kept simple - two bucket seats and a dashboard. I already shoot some footage , so a video will come soon. For now , here are some photos. 2017-04-30_05-28-06 by Alaxaf, on Flickr -
This is my second alternative build of McLaren F1 42141. This time I was inspired by Dakar rally and I made a version of Sebastien Loeb's Prodrive RX Hunter. This is the 2022 version and just like all my Technic model based on a real car; I invested a lot of effort into making it as close as possible to the real counterpart. I was able to reproduce the position of the engine, The curved shaped roof, doors and even the spare tire!Functions:- Independent suspension in all wheels- V6 fake engine (located inside the cabin just like the real car!)- HoG steering- Opening doors (Butterfly doors)I am no good at stickers but I made a basic sticker sheet that I am including as optional.Can't wait for the Audi RS Q e-tron???Don't worry! This one will keep you busy. Instructions on rebrickable as always: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-152876/A_Great_Builder/prodrive-brx-hunter/#details -

Another MOC, I think Sariel built one similar in different scale. It has leaf springs, 2 L motors, servo and I will try to put a functional invented V8 engine. I saw very helpful to use the sliding 8th gear in the front axle. It is very fast, I can still slow using 8th gears in the motors. I will try to do the one in the pic of course in technic style. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zaig2TfcWL4&feature=youtu.be '>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=La-uusEo2yE&feature=youtu.be

Hi to everybody! It's been a while since I posted something new...so now here we are. Little prefaction, in the last year both time and motivations are dropped down, this Moc was almost ready in may 2017 and it took me a bit to find the desire to do pics video and instructions.....the instructions are not ready yet, but they are at a good point. IMG_2348 by Lucio Switch, su Flickr Now about the Moc, this is a sort of a Dakar Truck, it's a lot simpler compared to my usual Mocs, the idea behind it was to use the Claas Tires, trapezoidal panels...and don't use the parts of my Crane Truck, furthermore, to make it light (or try to do so), I added less details then usual. So it's son of a lot of (personal) compromises. It is driven by 4Xl Motors, 2 for the front axle and 2 for the rear and it's steered by a servo motor. 2 M motors are used to run the pump and to actuate a pneumatic valve. It's powered by 2 Li-Po battery and controlled by 2 SBricks. 6 pairs of Led are used for the lights. One small pneumatic pump, a pneumatic valve and 2 small pneumatic cylinders make up the pneumatic system. The truck has live axles with Anti Roll-bar, the differentials are lockable pneumatically. It has openale door, tiltable cab (with some interior details), and a door in the back to acces the battery. That's all, I hope you like it! -
