Posted March 6, 200816 yr I got this overall very sweet set a few days ago, and the only thing i don't like at all is the wide trace of the wheels, and that they are pretty high for an off road vehicle. So i decided to do a very quick modulation, with those great red axes from former 4WD-Vehicles. It's so simple, but yet very effective, and gives it a real off road-look. I got a few pics, so tell me what you think about it! :-D Edited March 6, 200816 yr by metalandi
March 6, 200816 yr A good little mod there, looks much better and no doubt functions better now *y* To the Bricksignal! >:-)
March 6, 200816 yr Pretty good, but the trailer in the back has to be raised a bit. Other than that, it looks pretty good.
March 6, 200816 yr Pretty good, but the trailer in the back has to be raised a bit. That would be my advice, too. It looks a bit odd on the first pic. I still can
March 6, 200816 yr Author I decided to not put the trailer higher, since there are not really existing "off road" trailers i think. but it does look a bit weird, so maybe i'll do a mod on that, too. I simply used those feathered red off road-axes, they look like this (sorry for the blurry picture):
March 7, 200816 yr Nice work! I guess those red axles you used are either before my time or extremely rare (probably both :'-(), which is a shame; they rock! Great idea, and thanks for showing me a part I have not seen before.
March 7, 200816 yr Nice modification to the original set, but I second the trailer-raising suggestion. Maybe with another of those axles. Nice work! I guess those red axles you used are either before my time or extremely rare (probably both :'-(), which is a shame; they rock! Great idea, and thanks for showing me a part I have not seen before. Well those axles, although long ago used for the last time, are not extremely rare. The part appeared in 16 sets and are available from a price starting at 5 cents on bricklink. It 's really worth considering buying a few. check it out here!
