ArsMan064 Posted August 8, 2020 Posted August 8, 2020 Hello! Approximately 9 month ago I built this model for Moscow Brickfest 09/11/2019 for trophy pro racing. Sorry for such late publication On this event model awarded in design competition (the model turned out to be quite heavy for fast overcoming obstacles) I think, everybody know, how Land Rover Defender is looking, but here is inspiration just in case Overview: Features 1) Drive (2 L motors) and steering (m motor) 2) Used electrics: 2 L motors 1 M motor PF lights LiPo Extension wire SBrick 3) Openable doors and hood 4) Detailed interior Real Defender's interior: 5) Working steering wheel and openable glove box (see video below) 6) Detailed underhood space These black hinges are easily replaceable with round black 90 degrees connector. 7) Suspension The chassis is pretty similar to chassis of my older model - Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Main changes in steering system. 8) Detailed design All photos you can find there: https://bricksafe.com/pages/ArsMan064/land-rover-defender Watch the video! There is shown all features at their best. Check also video about Moscow Brickfest 09/11/2019 from GooberReboot Instruction There is instruction available on Rebrickable (PDF): https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-49183/ArsMan064/land-rover-defender-90/#comments That's all! Thank you for reading! Hope you like it Quote
Parazels Posted August 8, 2020 Posted August 8, 2020 How are the windows, wind shield and roof connected? All the parts feel flimsy as hell! Quote

Rear windows sides may looks pretty flimsy, but they are reliably pressed by top window beam, only rear side may fall of from hard vibration and direct touch :) Windshield is fixed by two 4 l system bars below and by two modified plates to roof on the top. For this reason windshield is fixed very well. Roof is fixed by 2 pins to the chassis, by two modified plates to the windshield, and by two supports axles, which is easily replacable with two 3 l pins. Roof is fixed really reliably. Quote
lcvisser Posted August 8, 2020 Posted August 8, 2020 I always appreciate a good Defender. I think you captured the looks really well, and it seems to have pretty good performance also. Well done, I like it Quote
