[TRIPLE] gsia17's WIP topic

[gsia17]

Hello again!

I finished my models for contest. It called

Dark side of Power...

Firstly, I built The Buggy!

The main problem was to create the maximum compact chassis.

In the end was implemented next funtions:

-independent front suspension with caster angle(about 12-14 digrees)

-dependent rear axle

-rear drive

-the minimum possible distance between the front wheels using these links in steering system

Buggy weight - 490g

Also interesting things here - it's arrangement of PF

Second model - trailer for this black monster

I would like to add at this model some functions too, because it will be boring to make trailer without them.

So , we have:

-hand winch(with lock)

-motorized trucks(I'm not sure that it is true name of this things - the chains hold them on photo)

Last model - pickup, which will must pull it all

But truck can do it very well

-Servo motor for steering

-XL motor for drive

-4x4 drive

-In suspension i used dependent axles

-differentials in bouth axles

Now you can see how does it work

Demonstration video:

I used PF in all models to make them more playable. And as you can see in video i did it!

P.S. This photo made after "fire" driving:

And this photo - after washing:

Much more photos you can see here:

[skriblez]

I second that! The buggy rocks.

Nice eny. Well done.

PS maybe it's just me, but I think your entry would even be better without the PF functions. The receivers and battery boxes make it look a bit messy/unfinished.

Like the build. Love the dirt buggy but personally i'd have a fake engine sitting over the rear wheels

Awesome entry! But I feel like I've seen that buggy before somewhere... I dunno

[King Aragorn]

Wow! It's awesome. I like it a lot)

It's cool that everything, every car and thing in this triple-set has a lot of different PF functions so they make it more playable)

They look nice, but there are two cars and a trailer. They met contest rules (The three models should serve a different purpose)?

Sure, as long as the buggy is not shown anywhere before, this is a legitimate entry.

[Lakop]

That's great. I love that buggy and the trailer is nice. I agree that there is no need for the PF stuff and it all looks well within the part count. I'm still pondering several ideas.

Thanks for comment Video-of course. What about buggy-It is full new moc. I have done another buggy http://www.eurobrick...topic=83899&hl=?

Idea of little fast car i saw in PiterX's Sandrail MKII.

• Model Team is allowed, but function prevails over aesthetics (quote from contest's rules) It's about PF
  

P.S It's very fun to play cars with my brother

Adding PF doesn't mean having more functionality. It means having the existing functionality powered by a motor. At least, that's the way I see it.

I think your models would score better without PF, but in the end, it's up to you

Nothing in particular. I still think it's a great entry!

Nice entry Was going to be the same entry type as mine was, till I've realised I haven't got the time to finish

Thanks! I'm lucky because i have got free time to build it now

[Thirdwigg]

I like the design, and I agree about removing the PFs. Sometimes beauty should trump function. So when will people actually post to the voting thread?
