Modification 42037 in 3 minutes.

Modification 42037 in 3 minutes.What could be simpler? Replace only 18 parts. Among them:
4 rims 56 mm
4 tires 94.3 mm (also 108 custom fit)
4 long sloping panel (blue color sucks)
4 perpendicular connector replace with 2L to 3L (the wheels climbed)
2 connector imitating the front bumper.

The output is a road / sand buggy with hellish clearance.

Mountain rambler

Hi everybody! Another MOC is buggy with a hybrid suspension - more precisely, on the wheel-tracks. I inspired to build my very first Lego Technic set - 8414 Mountain Rambler, which appeared in my back in 1997.

In his own work, I kept from him only the general concept of the chassis and appearance, but now, in 2015, it’s controlled remotely for the movement in the space correspond to the following elements:

XL motor - a movement

Servo motor - steering

IR V2 Receiver - remote control

Large battery box - power

Regarding the mechanics - the front independent suspension is set, the rear suspension is a two Caterpillar track rigidly fixed to each other. The steering wheel rotates when you turn the wheel. Drive - rear, as a consequence of the model mostly bedroom.

In appearance Mountain Rambler in the style of classic buggies, with a double cabin, roof rack, hellish exhausts, and a huge amount of fog lamps.

ГЗА-651 (GZA-651)

GZA-651 - Bus bonnet layout timber-framed body on the chassis of the GAZ-51, manufactured at USSR since 1949. In 1952. On the basis of GZA-651 designers was created a whole family of special buses and vans. They also had a names - PAZ-, RARZ-, KAVZ-651

This work is built specifically for the competition in the group in Lego Technic Russia - "Modification of the GAZ-51". By the way, the ancestor lego model GAZ-51 is Super-Jaschka from euribricks.com . And in the European Community eurobriks.com his work was added to the Hall of Fame, and it is - an honor! :)

Initially, plans to participate in the competition was not, time was short, but suddenly remembered that GAZ-51 is a real modification - KAVZ bus, as I recall at the moment. As a child, even I had a chance to ride in this, though he was already on the chassis later GAZ-52. I climbed to search for information, find and understand - I will build.

To build the model has left the full day. The model is based on constant chassis Jacob with the hood, but the body itself and the platform beneath it had to be rebuilt. All created on the fly, the entire building was transferred in parallel to the linear dynamic range that the model was not distortions and everything was tailored precisely. Well, it turned out in the end what happened :)

Drift Van

Hi everyone! Today we will focus on the most prominent Japanese automobile subcultures united in a single project - is primarily Drift and Bosozoku and combined them nimble Drift Van style Lego Technic running SBrick. But first things first.

So, as the drift, then it is clear, I think most people are familiar with this type of racing, which originated in Japan in the 60s of the last century, but in recent decades gained momentum and sickly popularity around the world.

But on bosozoku perhaps focus more.

Bosozoku: rebellious tuning

"You will be outraged or surprised laugh. This unusual style will not leave you indifferent."

Bosozoku now - this is the fancy, colorful and absurd style tuning. Multimeter exhaust pipes of different colors and shapes made by the front bumper, radiator, distinguished by the meter skirts - it's all about him.

Especially important for bosozoku have tailpipes. They may take the form of lightning, stars, or simply face up - the main thing as high as possible above the roof of the machine. Colors are often inspired by the sports cars 80s. Also on these cars can often be seen learned from under the hood oil radiators. The third of the "pillars" of the style - the extended wheel arches and very wide wheels with narrow tires.

However, for me the primary cause of construction Drift Van served no information about the style of tuning bosozoku, but primarily drift since I once came across a video where the usual family minivan Toyota Hiace with installed engine 2JZ-GTE burned rubber and drift better than what some Silvia, or AE86, mark/chaser and other JDM cars.

Externally, the model is a minivan-style bosozoku, he served as the prototype of the fifth-generation Toyota Hiace with extended arches of the body, and a huge roof spoiler and wheels with wide tires in the ala Stance superstretch - all to match the style. In front is a huge intercooler, installed in the cockpit roll cage and only one pilot's seat.

The project is based on a new chassis with direct drive motor buggies. The highlight of the project was SBrick. I have no hesitation to say that it is a revolution in the world of Lego, and highly recommend Lego Group to launch this device in the series. In comparison with the IR receiver - is the earth and sky. From the experience of using a buggy engines running IR receivers say that management is very unstable, even in an apartment, with a minimum of sunlight (which is a strong hindrance to the infrared receivers). When the model is carried at high speed and it is necessary to turn or stop - very important quick response to steering, which the original Lego Receivers can not provide. As a result - a pair of torn pieces from the collision with an obstacle, at best.

With SBrick things are much different. First, it has the ability to soft start the motor connected - whether servo motor, motor buggy, M, L or XL - it does not matter. Buggy engine can now drive slowly! It is important.

Secondly, one SBrick replaces two conventional receiver because 4 ports - in models with 3-4 motorized functions - is a huge plus in terms of saving space.

Thirdly, SBrick works in another wavelength range, which means that now there is no need to lift up the receiver as high as possible, or in a car, for example, to do for him a special hole in the roof, so that the model could then go to the control. Thus, SBrick can drown somewhere in the bowels of the model so that no one will notice.

But there SBrick one clear, in my view, the lack of - software. Namely, the lack of support for, let's say, not yet old, but not new operating systems. With Apple - no problem, On Windows - not tried, but with Android has school in the form that the program supports the version of Android 4.3 or higher. At the same time on Android, not all devices are able to upgrade to 4.3, some decided to stay at 4.2.2 and no more. So when you buy, make sure that your device meets this parameter.
