(...) There are a few things that I don't like. The shape of the nose is very odd and the jet intake is too boxy. Also, the lower part of the fuselage is simply too big compared to the rest of the aircraft and -no matter what exactly minifig scale (...) (18 years ago, 6-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.military)

Hi, Thanks to everyone for advice and suggestions. (...) Usually the problem is that the treads don't find purchase as much as I'd like, but I was up til 2am last night experimenting, and think I have figured out that by adding weight to the front (...)

(...) Danny, in theory you are right, however this solution won't help much in rough terrain, as the idea of incorporating track with the vehicle is to be able to move forward when there is no such thing as a flat surface. What this calls for is the (...) (18 years ago, 5-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) I own a set of these, and would happily say they are a bit oversize for this chaps requirement. I have tried to use them in robot builds myself, and have generally gone back to using six wheels after having traction problems, and watching (...) (18 years ago, 5-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Magnus, Which kind of problems? Does it stall and the motors stop turning, or can it just not find purchase on the surface? What are you using for the treads? Danny (18 years ago, 5-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) While this is not my primary area of building, I have noticed that the rubber tracks that came with the Cybermaster kits are relatively long and have sufficient grip to at least clear some obstacles. The downside of this is, that the rubber (...) (18 years ago, 5-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) I think I've fully explored tracked chassis building and it's a dead end. The tracks always snap. And when adding plates to the track they always come off. You just need an a nice angle at the front to climb things. Rubber tracks would be good (...) (18 years ago, 5-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) One VERY simple thing you can try is to attach 1x4 plates to the treads. I've seen people use every other, or every third or forth. They should clip right on, using the holes in the tread for the pins under the 1x4. Steve (18 years ago, 5-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.military)

Hello, I have been interested in incorporating Technic features (especially motors), in minifig scaled MOCs, and am finally on my first major project. I am trying to build a minifig scale motorized tank and was wondering if anyone could help with (...) (18 years ago, 5-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.technic)
