TechAd Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Wow, NICE!!! One more MOC of your hand to build! Just finished the PF Buggy 2, and was amazed by the talent with which you connect those peace. really smart build! Looking forward to the instructions of this one! Quote
Ttimman Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 This truck is totally awesome! I would definitely build it if I had ask the parts! Quote
sm 01 Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Great work Madoca! It looks so cool and it works great. Quote
Madoca 1977 Posted October 29, 2014 Author Posted October 29, 2014 Thank you everyone! I just finished instructions. Also, I submit this MOC to Rebrickable. Soon it will be available. https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/117021167471864977943/albums Quote
jantjeuh Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) And it's up on Rebrickable: http://rebrickable.c...f-road-pickup. Enjoy the build! Edited October 29, 2014 by jantjeuh Quote
Nico van Duin Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Very nice truck! I realy like the use of a torque-vectoring diff. But is there a reason why jou didn't mount the front diff into a 5x7 frame? Quote
VKTechnic Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 In all seriousness, this should go on LEGO Ideas. Quote
jantjeuh Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) Not a good idea (no pun intended). Too big, too complex and too expensive (too awesome?). LEGO Ideas is for small and simple sets. Edited October 30, 2014 by jantjeuh Quote

jantjeuh Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 You mean the red supercar? That one has no parts list unfortunately. If someone was to build it and compile a parts list afterwards, I could add it to Rebrickable. Quote

But is there a reason why jou didn't mount the front diff into a 5x7 frame? See the post #13. I had to avoid touching 6L links and 5x7 frame each other. If you put differential into the frame, you can't steer. The steering links can't move because links and frame are at the same level. Quote
darksheep Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Hi , jsut wanted to check what pice did you use to make the back tail gate int he black version ? I know the red uses the 'Technic Panel 3 X 11 x 1' part number 15458. It looks like a different part for the black version ? Quote

It's a new mold variant of http://rebrickable.com/parts/62531. Edited October 31, 2014 by jantjeuh Quote
PhyBuilder Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Look again. He uses the version with 2 holes through the surface. Quote
jantjeuh Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Ah, you are correct. http://rebrickable.com/parts/62531 it is then. Edited October 31, 2014 by jantjeuh Quote
SilenWin Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Madoca, your 4x4 pickup is really amazing! Thank you for sharing instructions with us! Looking at this SUV, I realized that I wanted to add some more crawling abilities to it. The one thing that can prevent serious off-road riding - differentials. So I decide to add "limited slip" feature to rear and center differentials. There were no troubles with rear axle - a lot of free space and simple mechanics. But the center differential - it's hell. Different angular velocities of the two semiaxes (rear 1:3 and front 1:1) require a complex system of gears. But the result worth it! Now, this pretty pickup can overcome quite serious off-road. Soon I'll make a video. Now I have only one scheme and some photos. Some more photos here As you can see, I added a reinforced front and rear bumpers, ropes on the hood (I don't know how are they called. They can protect windshield tree's branches), replaced the suspension arms for longer ones (6.5 studs against 6), slightly lifted rear suspension, replaced XL motors on buggy motors. The rest I kept the original design, except the seats. I had to sacrifice them for the sake of storage space for li-po battery boxes. Hope you like this modifications! Quote
MajklSpajkl Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Wow, you really pimped it up!!! Looks great, now I have two more models to build, that is ofcourse if you'll provide some pointets for the overhauling :-) Quote

SilenWin Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) What Tire use? @ SilenWin I used no-name 1.9 RC tires. They are pretty soft and have good grip on any surfaces, even on glass or polished stone. There are plenty lots on Ebay, and here one of them http://m.ebay.com/itm/360548940987 Wow, you really pimped it up!!! Looks great, now I have two more models to build, that is ofcourse if you'll provide some pointets for the overhauling :-) All I can do for you right now - to do a few close-up photo of chassis internals and rear axle. Maybe later, when I will disassemble the model, I will make detailed photos of all modifications. They are not so global, so you can easily add a few parts to original build while following Madoca's instructions. I spent about 3 hours to modify chassis because I had to disassemble already finished model. It will be much easier to assemble the modified chassis from the very beginning Edited November 1, 2014 by SilenWin Quote
Madoca 1977 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Posted November 1, 2014 I like crawler version! Looks much better than the original. And I'm glad to know that such a cool MOD was built based on one of my models and instructions. Thanks for building! Quote
SilenWin Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Little update with some minor exterior changes and video. Enjoy! More photos Quote
Zerobricks Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) Sounds like there's an RC motor in there and the truck is quite fast. EDIT Oh there are indeed 2 RC motors. Amazing. Edited November 2, 2014 by Zblj Quote
