Effe's MOC Corner

[efferman]

everything in front of the thin vertikal 3l liftarms is in length variable

[TheHypaaa]

Thank you! I'm also wondering how realiable this mechanism is because others aren't very reliable,

[efferman]

The number one connectors should have very good grip against to the 5.5 axle to avoid to pulling out.

[efferman]

my approach to make the xerion remote controlled is to hold the costs in electrics down. so i want youse only one servo and a XL for propulsion. To rotate the cab i will use the original lever, and switching between steering modes will be manual too

work in progress lxf

[Imanol BB]

It looks really great, and very powerful also.

[efferman]

i have found a solution to lift the cab without a visible mechanism. works unfortunatly only when the hand of god is not in the cab

is it possible to 3d print dummy power function motors so someone could build non functioning MOCs. There must be a lot of lego builders out there that wish they could build a static MOC without the motors. If dummy motors were available all the plans for most MOCs would not have to be altered.I wonder if TLG would allow this to happen. Let me know

[efferman]

why? everypower function motor is able to replace by standard pieces when the motor is a structural part of the frame.

[AFOLegofan66]

thanks for letting me know. I knew that most motors could be made by pieces but was having a problem with the servo motor. I'll figure it out

Hello Effe,

Hope To buy those clamshell buckets end of this month off shapeways.

[efferman]

sounds good

when nothing is going wrong this evening a new video will be available

[Siegfried Meyer]

Now that looks promising

[Dafgek81]

What are you going to do with the Xerion this time?

The last PF mod was already good.

Will wait and see....

[efferman]

simply this, even when something is still to do.....

[Dafgek81]

Looking nice, so RC steering mode selection and RC hitch control.

[Cumulonimbus]

Looks good effe, although I don't have a strong preference for RC, I appreciate your ideas for improvements to the structure and playability.

Do you plan a trailer hitch, maybe like the prototype you made for your Arcos? I really miss this feature on the standard model.

[Dafgek81]

Yes, it needs a trailer hitch indeed.

Almost all tractors have a trailer hitch.

[MRP_]

looks great, you have such a knack for this stuff! I do think this is stretching the term "mod" a bit far though... I would consider this more a "xerion 2.0"

[efferman]

@Cumulonimbus i think this would collide with the attachment lift. More important would be a pendular front axle for which i had an idea yesterday evening.

[efferman]

Would you integrate the hgeadlights into the grill or into the bodywork?

[syclone]

I think it would look beter on the bodywork  (right between the 2x4 beam and 3l half beams)

1L trans-clear pieces could work as extra lights in between the connectors in the grille, but 2L headlights which I assume you mean, I agree is probably best done as LXF suggests.

I like that, white is the new black!

[efferman]

thanks for your suggestions
