Hey guys...

i was thinking: as the snowing season is here, why shouldn't we make a thread to set a sort of snow vehicles "show"?

including various solutions to deal with snow itself?

i've already built a snowmobile wich im going to publish after the 15th december...i need to go to the mountain to shoot the video :D

but i can anyway start with this solution that i've found to make the track of my new snowmobile

so down with your fantasy guys and build something :D!

or post here all your snow MOCs

Hi, We're thinking same idea :) I'm still making my snowmobile. I'm start 2 days ago... This is my reference:

My project is WIP now... Panels are temporary...

:D tiny little sled! nice one!

the fact that the center of mass is on the track is a great thing man :)

i did a yellow one too!

I am planning to build a snowmobile aswell, powered by the complete RC Buggy setup, with two motors.. Will start planning/building over the weekend! :grin:

I'm going to build a snowmobile too! and then it will snow here! I WISH, lolz

Great job guys, waiting for the results! hehe

ahah poor australian guy :P

you can buy 20 packs of flour and no one would notice it XD

I'm making a half track ATM! You may have seen my thread I started, I'll post WIP stuff there. :)

A month or so i made a ripsaw, its still waiting for some snow :p

Made some tracks for the 8110 Unimog. Works on carpet but I get a feeling it would sink in deep fluffy snow.

How about a Friends snowmobile with Technic tracks?

Ok, maybe not...

Variant with small tracks is also good

The problem of all matttracks made form lego: it should be made with raising front part, because it tends to roll.

I mean Not simple triangle, but something like this:

I think Zblj made tracks on his entry for the 9398 contest like you're thinking if Rm8. :)

that's a really cool model! i already saw that on youtube and it took me a while before i could realize what scale it was :D

Thanks :) Center of mass is very important because battery box is very heavy....

I don't like my design because of battery box. First test drive results are above:

yeah that battery box is quite heavy and definitely too wide for small mocs :)

when ive built my first snowmobile it was huge and it had the batterry box hidden in the body...but it gave some problems to the weight distribution

how does it perform? from the images i'd say it works :D

I'm waiting to drift the mustang on some snow :)

im waiting for you to do that :D

wich mustang? the red or the dark grey one?

There is only the red one. I don't have a dark gray car, and the black defiant has no drivetrain and wheels without wheel adapters, so it's not gonna drive anywhere.

was that black? lol i need to get my sight checked...or my memory maybe xD

the red one is amazing *.*

There is video of my MOC. I want to more speed but it's not.

8043 and 8110 with AA NiMh batteries don't seem to work that well in the very cold temperatures.

8110 and 8043 may not work well in the snow, but they sure look good! The green bed is perfect on the 'Mog.
