piterx Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Hello builders :) one year ago i bought the 41999 set for the dark blue parts wondering how i could use them in a moc... well this is what i came up with! A Suzuki Samurai :) Features: - 4x4 - H/L ratio gearbox - Power functions - Live axles - Openable doors and hood Even if it might not seem so, building this model has been really challenging, mainly because of parts aviability....i had to find the right scale to have the same proportions adeguate for the parts i had... another painful part has been fitting 2 l motors, suspensions, 2g gearbox, servo, battery in the chassis, in a way, that the interiors resulted clean. It weighs 878g, so two L motors are more than enough to provide enough torque for the low ratio and a reasonable speed for the high one. Actually i think i might gear everything down a bit for the only reason that the low ratio is still too fast when aproaching obstacles. The model has a lot of ground clearance, it only suffers for the lack of differentials but they couldn't fit in the axles. Tomorrow is sunday, i'll go out and shoot a video of it and of the stratos as well :D stay tuned! I hope you'll like it :) Quote
Nalyd997 Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 That is quite small indeed! It will be interesting as to how you fit all of the 'stuff' in there Quote
Zerobricks Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Nice to see you found the use of the 41999 parts. Awesome looking and quite realistical small little model. How did you build the steering? Quote
MrTekneex Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Really nice work! I love how you put all features in a small set like this. I prefer the front without the grill. EPIC! :thumbup: Quote
legomuppet9 Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 This is great! I might see if I have the parts to build... but in a different colour ofc Quote
Paul Boratko Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 That is a very nice looking model you built..! :thumbup: Quote
Rishab N Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 This looks great! I'm also wondering how you made the steering Quote
Awaken_M1nd Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Very interesting model. It has a recognizable style of building. Quote
piterx Posted October 4, 2014 Author Posted October 4, 2014 thank you guys :) the steering system is aproximatively this one This is great! I might see if I have the parts to build... but in a different colour ofc yeah you surely have all the parts you need for it....i've made it as simple as possible... ill take some pictures once i dismount it :) Quote
jantjeuh Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Looks good! I must be the only one who doesn't have a copy of 41999, heh. So envious of all those purty Dark Blue parts. Quote
PROlego Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) Looks good! I must be the only one who doesn't have a copy of 41999, heh. So envious of all those purty Dark Blue parts. No, you are not :( Good idea for steering. Edited October 4, 2014 by PROlego Quote
timslegos Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Great looking car for being simplistic. I too loved building with that color, its quite stunning. tim Quote
Kelkschiz Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Very elegantly build, i like it a lot! The Samurai is a nice pick for MOC, great little car :) Quote
PROlego Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Lego should produce your MOCs, I think people will buy this a lot. Did you made instructions for any of your models? (I think you said you had a sponsor and they were going to sell your istructions?). Quote
piterx Posted October 5, 2014 Author Posted October 5, 2014 nice to hear that man :P yeah instructions for the vitara are ready---the problem is that the guys from the shop are renewing their website and it's taking ages...ill post something when they'll be finally aviable :) Quote
miguev Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Lovely model, in lack of dark blue pieces I think it'd look good in pretty much any color, I'd try in red :) Quote
rm8 Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Cool Samurai! If the steering system as in your picture, dont you think it is too weak? Quote
swisstechnic Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Very nice! Probably the smallest 4x4 that I've ever seen! :) Quote
piterx Posted October 5, 2014 Author Posted October 5, 2014 Cool Samurai! If the steering system as in your picture, dont you think it is too weak? absolutely :P it's stronger than it seems Quote
MrNumbskull13 Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Great recreation of an awesome vehicle! Can't wait to see the video for this and the lancia... Quote
Lucio Switch Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Very nice !! I'm curious to see how you built the axles!! Quote
