nico71 Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I will present my Trial Jeep : The jeep is a AWD built for truck trial. It is for me a new breakthrough with 5-link portal live axle, new frame, completly new design with the BB inside (on the lowest point) and with differentials. Yes I know why differentials in TT ? In fact I was boring by the Trial truck which don't turn enought, so I would implement this and it works ! Of course sometime the wheel slip but I prefered with the differential, regarding tunring abilities. The clibbing abilities are good, thanks to the axle. I have also included detailed interior with dashboard, seat, rearseat, exhaust. The bodywork is also modular, it is fixed with only pins. You can see here the drivetrain, with the main gear-box and axle. Last but not the least : I have done a complete building instruction in 41 pages. Visit http://www.nico71.fr/trial-jeep/ for the building instructions. And to finish, a complete rendering of the model : I hope you will apreciated. It is for me my best Truck trial, and I like the design, more than normal truck. Quote
DLuders Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Thanks for making the EXCELLENT Building Instructions! There will soon be many of these Trial Jeeps rolling around the world! Quote
JunkstyleGio Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) No pdf? I guess there will be a little job for our own pdf-wizzard Dluders! Edited June 10, 2011 by JunkstyleGio Quote
P4trickvH Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) Pretty amazing job you did there nico. Love the design and thanks for supplying the instructions with this beauty. PDF removed as requested by nico71 him self. Edited June 11, 2011 by P4trickvH Quote
jorgeopesi Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Good work and thanks for the instructions, builders like you are the best teachers . Quote
dhc6twinotter Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 Looks great! I like the design of the suspension and axles. The fire extinguisher is a nice touch as well. Quote
dbostream Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) Looks great, perfect with yellow. I just have an off-topic question, the alternative part on page 2 in the pdf instructions: I cannot find it in either LDD or SR 3D Builder does it exist or have I simply missed it? Edited June 11, 2011 by dbostream Quote
Mephistofeles Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 I cannot find it in either LDD or SR 3D Builder does it exist or have I simply missed it? I can't find too, it doesn't exist. Quote
Philo Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 I can't find too, it doesn't exist. It does exist in SR3D, look for Steering or *57515 Quote
nico71 Posted June 11, 2011 Author Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) Pretty amazing job you did there nico. Love the design and thanks for supplying the instructions with this beauty. Before someone else starts asking, HERE are the instructions in pdf format. It is nice from you but please remove the link. I want to be the only one who distribute the PDF (very important for me). For the moment, I don't have the possibility to do the PDF. In second, the PDF will be in high resolution, in twice more resolution. The PDF you make is based on low resolution sample on my webiste (but still enough to built). So please be patient until I publish the PDF. The PDF will be release in only one week. And thanks for the comment :) Edited June 11, 2011 by nico71 Quote
nico71 Posted June 12, 2011 Author Posted June 12, 2011 Many thanks to people who gave me feedback regarding the BI. I will correct the mistakes (10..) and publish the finished PDF :) Quote
Jurgen Krooshoop Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 My compliments for yet another fantastic model by master-builder Nico71. And big big thanks for taking the time to provide high-quality building instructions for the entire Lego-community !! Your work is being greatly appreciated. Quote
M4X1994 Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Thanks for the building instructions! I couldn't resist it and changed the tires ;) Quote
Milan Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Thanks for the building instructions! I couldn't resist it and changed the tires ;) How does it perform with bigger tires? Quote
M4X1994 Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 How does it perform with bigger tires? It drives alright but the steering doesnt work very well as the wheels get stuck under the front of the vehicle when steering to the far left or right. Quote
nico71 Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) The HF pdf is online : http://www.nico71.fr/trial-jeep/ I ahve also corrected some mistakes. have a nice builting :) Edited June 14, 2011 by nico71 Quote
DLuders Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) Thanks, Nico71! I'm going to build your Trial Jeep this afternoon! Edited June 14, 2011 by DLuders Quote
nico71 Posted June 23, 2011 Author Posted June 23, 2011 I love it ! Does the picture is a little pull up ? (little heigh deformation visible on tyres). Quote
P4trickvH Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Tnx, for this awesome MOC and great instruction. Quote
bmollema Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 I finally got all the parts to build this excellent designed Jeep. I added a winch controlled by an extra M-motor (and build it next to the other motors) and added lights. See the rest on: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=501685 or: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/319520 Quote
timslegos Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Nice mods! DOes the winch operate at the same speed as the model drives? tim Quote
bmollema Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Nice mods! DOes the winch operate at the same speed as the model drives? tim Hi Tim, No used a worm wheel (item 4716 on bricklink)and a seperate motor (only for the winch). I also changed gear ratio to the wheels to get a bit more speed (20 Tooth instead of the 24 Tooth) Bernhard Quote
TimH Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Thankyou for making instructions nico71. Great render Blakbird! Quote
