LegoMathijs Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Hello, Several month's ago, Ive created this crawler drill, but haven't post it on Eurobricks until now The crawler is an heavy machine with masive drill power to deal with the roughest terrain. Two chrome drills, two mining lasers and a radar are the equipment for this vehicle to research the dangerous dark caves. Information about the crawler: The crawler is motorized by two Power Functions M motors The drills rotate when driving Two working lights on front side Removable battery box for easy replacement of the batteries Pictures: Crawler Drill by LegoMathijs, on Flickr Drills and lights.

Milan Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Not the most practical drilling crawler, due to radar dish and laser turret on the roof and two drills instead of one, but hey, it looks cool :) Those trans green colors are my favorite, since the MTrons :) Glad to see them today on this crawler. Front view with lights on is great! Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 So this is what you get when you mix SI-FI with Technic. Good job. Quote
LegoMathijs Posted May 12, 2014 Author Posted May 12, 2014 Thanks for the nice compliments @ Alasdair Ryan: Sci-Fi and Technic is a perfect combination in my opinion, it gives a Sci-Fi moc more high tech look. A bit off topic, but I'm currently building a space layout with several Technic functions and NXT 2.0. And sometimes I build vehicles like this Technic give someting extra's in a MOC/layout qua looks and functionallity. @ Milan: I've tried one laser turret, but two was better for the looks, exactly the same to the drills And the crawler was to wide for using one drill Quote
jantjeuh Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Nice looks! I guess these drills were chromed after-market? Quote
LegoMathijs Posted May 13, 2014 Author Posted May 13, 2014 Thanks, the drills are original chromed. These are from the original Rock Raiders sets Quote
LegoMathijs Posted May 15, 2014 Author Posted May 15, 2014 I´ve forgot to say, but I´m going to make a video of the crawler, asap. First I have to fix something. The gears at the axle at the back of the crawler skid when driving on surfaces when high power is needed Quote
