August 26, 201311 yr Author Just thought I would post my latest attempt. Using the servo motor to switch the different switches on/off, you can reverse the motor being powered and thus make the tank turn on the spot. the test worked very well, just need to make a more efficient suspension system and nice running wheels.
August 26, 201311 yr the switch idea is really smart man :) i have the feeling it goes quite fast too isnt it?
August 26, 201311 yr Good idea with the switches! Does this mean your buggy motor crawler is disassembled?
August 27, 201311 yr Noooo! The buggy motor crawler looked EPIC!!! I have never seen anyone mount their buggy motors like that on a crawler. :D I must get myself some!
August 27, 201311 yr Author Noooo! The buggy motor crawler looked EPIC!!! I have never seen anyone mount their buggy motors like that on a crawler. :D I must get myself some! LOL, thanks! I will come back to it. :) Yes it is disassembled. I really want to do something with track atm. :D AND still hav the patria to finish.
August 27, 201311 yr Hey thanks for that! Very good solution. Do you have any idea why electronically it doesn't work? I'm fascinated to know. Yes I remember you and your amazing fast response time! Thanks very much, means a lot! I'm glad I inspire, cos others inspire me! WIP update: I'm currently trying to build a quick crawler using the RC motors as I did with NXT motors, proving to be a bit tricky, here is the 5th version, not completed tho. the 16t gear will b the steering. :D thanks for reading! well. Don't the black 16t gears which connected to buggy motor are slipping?Very awesome! Oh hey thats totally cool! The reason they are different is cos I was experimenting with the axle to make it strong enough. This is where I'm upto now. Thanks for noticing it! looks awesome. The chain delivery power well in offroad?
August 27, 201311 yr Author well. Don't the black 16t gears which connected to buggy motor are slipping? Very awesome! looks awesome. The chain delivery power well in offroad? No they don't slip, cos of the black liftarm is right next to them. haha, no the chain is for the servo so there is minimal lose thu the gears to help steer. As it only turns 45 degrees each way. Thanks for re-posting! seeing this again just gave me an idea I will try.
September 1, 201311 yr Nice! How many XL's are you using to drive it? How much did those suspension parts cost you?
September 2, 201311 yr Author tiny little thing lol It sure it! W. o. W. Thanks! I am so hoping for a tank or apc! One APC coming right up. The Patria AMV nemo version. Nice! How many XL's are you using to drive it? How much did those suspension parts cost you? 4 Xl's, 2 x Servo, and 2 maybe 3 L's. It has cost a lot! I'm almost shocked at the dedicated build cost, which looking at BL and ebay purchases is in excess of $500. But I'm hoping to get a display stand for the Brisbane Lego show so should be worth it! Has anyone every seen a lego show, that had models WITH 3rd party parts, such as tires only for example? LOL MAy have to get some dam Unimog tires. Edited September 2, 201311 yr by Doc_Brown

January 6, 201411 yr let me guess the last one is a dump :P? that yellow huge truck used to carry sand?
January 6, 201411 yr Author Just tested the chassis with 7.2v rechargeable and totally kicked as! now just gotta workout how to put the battery box as low as possible, :)
January 6, 201411 yr That 4x4 chassis with rc unit promises very fast car... (I hope...) Edited January 6, 201411 yr by Gzzig
April 6, 201410 yr Author That 4x4 chassis with rc unit promises very fast car... (I hope...) Hehe, thanks, it was ok. The suspension wasn't long enough and I was scratching everything on the harsh rocks so I stopped testing. Seemed to stall a bit too when there was a hill. :/ Oh well keep on trying. Thought I would post here instead of making a new thread. I would like to get everyone's input on their fav cars from the 60's and 70's, and maybe 80's In particular those featured in movies.
April 6, 201410 yr Doc, the 64 Chevy from Repo Man is a classic. I had one in the same blue color. The thing was built like a tank. After it got sold in '83,I'd see it running around the neighborhood. Still see them occasionally.
April 6, 201410 yr I'm going to be building the nano one! It is the perfect size for your pocket! one day i builded it and played with it all day, in the school to
