42029 Extended Customized Pickup Truck

Hello everyone! In this topic I want to talk about building a deeply modernized version of a set of 42029. In general, set the stage for another spy photos have already caused a lot of questions, and when he appeared officially for me so, he became the "most in need of modernization" set in 2014.

That's what I decided to change in this set:

According to the technique:

Added full motorization at RU, including - movement and functional.

Actually, I do not understand the functionality of the original set of tippers. Maybe I'm wrong, but the dump with an independent rear suspension is extremely rare. Then either need to change the suspension of the bridge, for greater realism, or remove function truck. I think it will choose the second option, because I plan to make a cabin-style double cab. I think the function itself truck replaced by remotely connected front-wheel drive.

Another motorized function I do my favorite winch.

I kept independent suspension front and rear. The drive is full, as I said, the plug. Front axis completely redone.
Replaced by a V6 V8 - so abruptly, and space allows.
In appearance:
Cab I zoom in on one door. Instead, the rear row of seats installed electrics and wiring.
Body decreased by 2 times, a la Toyota Hilux.
Color black.

Electric:

XL motor - Driving

Servo motor - Steering

M motor - Winch

M motor - Switch-on front transmission

2 IR recievers for 4 RC functions

Switch - LED lights

Drift Custom

After the construction of Lego Technic WRX , I wanted to do something faster and more dynamic, but at the same scale. The choice fell on a drift car. The basis of his lay WRX only with rear-wheel drive and a lightweight body.

Inside it is the same powerful buggy engine, which together with the servo motor model breaks in controlled drift.

The model is made in the JDM style, with detailed engine and a safety cage in the cabin and wront intercooler

Lego Technic Police Rancher

That's what that, and vehicles of special services Lego Technic series is not enough. This has led to collect something from this area. as a child I loved the police chevrolet caprice and ford crown victoria, hefty, square, which are so fond of in the trash break in Hollywood movies. The idea of gathering a dreadnought does not leave me now. But so far decided to try his hand at SUVs. Given the specificity of off-road chassis, build them from scratch is not that difficult - long needed break-in, testing, rework. Decided to base ready, working gear, and work on the design and functionality of the model itself. It was decided to base the good old chassis 9398. Soon, I began searching for ready-made modifications, but the eye to any modification of 9398 did not fall. And indeed many attempts to collect proportionally to the chassis body, admittedly, failed (41999 does not count). Maybe I'm not looking for it, I do not know. But here's the example from some Enforcer 1993 Crazy monster rare. But the direction is similar.
In general, the basis was taken Ford Bronco 1994, which at one time was regularly on duty sheriffs small American town. A body has decided to build on the 41999. So I want to fill small list of modifications of this exclusive set.

The result had been working, living fashion set 41999, having two winches, huge tyres 108mm (a pity that Lego has not produced similar). The only thing that I was too lazy to do - is to remove the differentials with them all the same chassis permeability significantly reduced.
