| | | Hi all! Call it tiny, call it pathetic, call it cute, here is my first real MOC since the end of my dark ages (oct 2002).

| | | | (...) Yep, those photos need some croppin' alright! (...) Would it be possible to reduce the links by one unit to tention them slightly? It craves for another motor and skid steering :) Best regards, /Tobbe (URL) SPAM when e-mailing) (21 years ago, 16-Apr-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.town)

| | | | | (...) You mean like this: (URL) was a litle short on red pieces, so what it gained on functionality it lost in looks. THis model is also a couple of studs longer than the original. My first design was the same length but used a belt drive which was (...) (21 years ago, 16-Apr-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.town)

| | | | (...) Tried that, but it's too tight... if I do it, the motor won't be strong enough to power them. (...)

| | | | | (...) Hi Stephane, Thanks for the praise but I built mine after seeing yours... So there is no need for any head to be covered! Now I wonder if a third motor could be added to control the blade height :-) Greetings, David PS: still in the small size (...) (21 years ago, 16-Apr-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.town)

It uses a regular Technic motor to make the cabin move and two micro motors to open and close the sliding doors on (...) (21 years ago, 17-Apr-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.town)
