[z3_2drive]

Wow thats even closer to rc standards considering the power and speed

[bb15080]

Effe it looks good

like the looks of it

looks strong

[Crtlego]

This truck looks absolutely amazing!! Beautiful detailing! And it does indeed seem very strong! Can't wait for the video.

[efferman]

Wow, its souch a beauty, yet brutally strong! Will you move recievers, so they are less obvious?

[Sam42]

Brilliant model effe! Great to see it finished.. I even think that bonnet with the curved panels is growing on me!

Now quit playing around dragging the unimog about and get us some footage of it crawling!

[efferman]

unfortunately i need a good line of sight to the recievers. unwanted skid steering is not funny with the high grip of the tires. so i cant move it to hide them

sam, first i must search a new crawling track. mxy other one is blocked by some firewood

Come to Scotland to do some crawling.

What pieces you used on front lights?

Trans-Clear Dish 2 x 2 Inverted (Radar)

I think its larger than 2x2.

May be 2x2 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=2654&viewType=s will be better?

Huge truck, looks like heavy truck in the background of Unimog...authentic model with detailed body and RC off road abilities - you joined them at one model.

When I hold such big and heavy Lego model ( my toyota's weight about 2,5 kg and its length about 70 studs) in my hands, I feel something that I cant explain:) I like that feeling:)

Efferman, dont you feel the same?!:)

Dish 4 x 4 Inverted (Radar)

What about these?

[efferman]

a little teaser for the upcoming vid

[efferman]

i hope the time of waiting was not to long but i think it was worth

[DLuders]

@ efferman: Your Technic G MOC is excellent , especially with those Ansmann 211000224 tires! The German forest (where you made your video) seems unusually dry and crispy....

I'm looking at the 38 photos in your Flickr photoset of your Lego Mercedes G, and see that the four new Lego Power Functions L-motors provide great power to your drivetrain. When the gears were slipping/grinding in your video "Outtakes", which gear assembly do you think was being over-torqued?

[efferman]

thanks, we had not much rain in the last time.

i think that the thin 20 tooth bevel gear was slipping which is mounted deep in the axle and not easy to photograph. currently iam making a bunch of new pics and i try to get a good view of it

Fantastic driving capabilities effe. The truck looks beautiful and can drive great as well, something that is extremely hard to accomplish.

[Zerobricks]

Really great engineering right there. About skipping gears, even in the new brackest the 20 tooth bewel gear can slip if there is too much torque. Thats why i usually use the fatter 20 tooth ones, as they have nowhere to slip.

[DLuders]

So, one should use the newer, "fatter" 87407 "Technic, Gear 20 Tooth Bevel with Pin Hole" (first picture below) instead of the older, thinner 32198 "Technic, Gear 20 Tooth Bevel" (side-view picture below)?

[Zerobricks]

I mean the full stud wide 20 tooth double bewel gear

[efferman]

to use a free run bevel gear is not an vise idea if you want transmitt torque around a corner.

zblj, i have no space for a double bevel gear
