Jeka Jackson Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Hi! I've decided to represent you my MOC - Hummer HX concept, it is not new & I'm sure, most of you have seen some of its photo last spring) So, the model was built for "4x4 trophy contest, 2014", some time later I've made some modifications - the chrome version & it is still standing on my shelf...) The model was built in 1:14 scale, it has fully independent front & rear suspension (as 1:1 HX has), AWD, led lights, XL motor for AWD, servo - for steering, complete interior, openable doors & easy removable body... Model measures: Wheel base - 187 mm Length - 310 mm Width - 144 mm Height - 128 mm P.S. May be I should have published it right after the contest, but I couldn't find time to do it cause of another global projects, sorry))) Hope you'll like it) So, here's the photos: The final - chrome version: Q78hSpql0Pk Edited January 30, 2015 by Jeka Jackson Quote
rm8 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Finally you presented it Happy new year! The best model you have done - small, but nice) And those chrome from Chrome Block City is Edited January 30, 2015 by rm8 Quote
King Andy Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Awesome Hummer! I love how great the car body looks by combining LEGO Technic and System. Power functions and RC mode make it great. Nice work! Quote
Rishab N Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Awesome job. Its interesting that you placed the XL vertically. I like the chrome Quote
Zerobricks Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Nice suspension and drive system. Good work on exterior too. Quote
thomol Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Isn't that placement of the steering rack, in front of the wheels with backwards pointing steering arms, creating some strange steering geometry (inverted Ackerman?) where the inner wheel is turning less than the outer wheel? Maybe it doesn't matter due to the general flimsiness of Lego, or have I simply misunderstood something? Otherwise great moc! Quote
Black-Build Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I love Hummers, and this one is no exception! Quote
Mowikan Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Nice build! but I dont like the grey parts. But again very nice build Quote
Jeka Jackson Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 Thank you all for your kind words) Isn't that placement of the steering rack, in front of the wheels with backwards pointing steering arms, creating some strange steering geometry (inverted Ackerman?) where the inner wheel is turning less than the outer wheel? There's no inverted Ackerman) But I use this scheme at my models with front independent suspensions intentionally cause it allows to save trajectory & parallelism of the front wheels, so they don't scatter one from other cause of lego ball blacklashes Quote
5imon Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Although I don't like Hummers at all, I must admire your work. Densely packed and compact, that's really a good build. And I like the model team look it has. Quote
Fluwoeb Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 @Jeka Jackson, I had that same idea for the front! Turning the black gear housing piece sideways so that there was more room for the CV joint. What piece did you use for that? Part #48496, or #87408? Overall, great job! It is one of the best hummer chassis I have seen with those specific wheels, although I have seen others... Not too complicated, yet great design. I will use this for inspiration! Quote
