Sick profile picture with the doors open! I also have the Sian

Hey Chris I guess Lego did a good job with the design! I too can’t believe they didn’t break or slip, I guess the rear 4 wheels took the strain usually 2 wheels do. And thanks I love the way the conversion looks too! I’m going to do a little video on it this week! It’s great at climbing slopes I know that! I’ve not took it outside yet! Only issue is with that gearing.... it’s slow!!! Lol

@@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines Ok, cant wait to see it!

@@Wasbever_14 Thanks

@@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines I'm excited as always mate :)

Haha nice I like it!

Civilan conversion of british first world war tank

Just wait until you see my next model...

Squeaky tank moment

*T O N K*

Lol

Haha slowly alright! The 42099 was also steering on its own across the room which made it harder lol I was just glad it didn’t go on any longer as those motors would be toast. For some reason the power wasn’t cutting like normal it just kept going, it could be to do with the buwizz app which I don’t usually use.

I really did not expect a fight!

cringe kid

Zehhuuhdhu

🤥

Hey thank you Utkarsh, yeah sometimes it just looks like they have no traction or pull so I was hoping this gave people an idea!

Hey thank you very much! Yeah when you see them sometimes they look like they lack grip especially on the wood but it’s only because of the countering force. A close one!

Haha that would be pretty cool!

Potential problem is finding a material strong enough to handle the pull. Cuz real world things are much stronger than lego.

Ya'llve never been to the south have ya?

Two words: mudding festivals

Already exists, it’s a sport

Yeah it has immense torque and those reduction wheel hubs hold up great! I will push it to its limit soon!

Yeah I’d love some rubber tracks! I’ve just bought more stubbed studs😀

@@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines I was kind of thinking the same thing either more rubber studs on the track vehicle or hard plastic 3D printed wheels for the crawler would be propper.

Yep it revenged for your Obstacon lol. And thank you as always!😀

If it had the same 14:1 gear ratio, it wouldn't have even been a challenge lol

That’s because it weighs more. Usually how that works

it didn't look like it was actually the motors: the connection between the vehicles was a bit off-center and it was causing the tracked one to list to the side and loose traction, whenever it got pulled back it would right it to straight-on and it would start pulling forwards again, aaaand promptly fall too far off-straight and start getting pulled back, eventually it just didn't catch that traction reset. that little bit of slush room in the geometry you get from the flexible bits in a structure make a pretty massive difference, especially when reliability is paramount

@@Austin.-_- it weights around 30% more but has the double of power....

Grazer sucks

Haha it has some torque! I’m doing a pull test this week which will push it and others to the limit😀

That would be great Max! They would probably be a little confused when I tell them want I want to make lol😀

@@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines “Hello yes i would like to make *p a r a l l e l o g r a m* “

No no is a bad idea.... He end having a terrible accident and get serious injured.... Having a big realization in a cave.....and because of the terrible regrets he will build a LEGO armor to fix his mistakes....

@@supern0v477 It’s a tried and true WW1 trench crossing design.

First time I saw it, I think it's a MK1 tank

Yeah it has so much torque with that gearing! But the weight of tank nearly pulled through, ultimately lacked torque☹️

😂😂

At lego

Wat. You commented 23 mins ago yet this vid came out 21 mins ago???????

I'm like that 😎

Special power again! And thank you very much😀

Hey thanks for watching it was fun doing these!

For the first time after a tug of war I did notice black tire marks on the wood! Also the rubber studs do warm up on the tank tracks but it didn’t have the torque.

The only thing holding it back was the teeth skipping, and it's inability to keep the tracks rotating. If the tracks were rotating the whole time it would have won no problem

@@PTMG that also has to do with grip s8nce 8f it gripped more it w0uld have been easier on the machine

@@Godsoldiergaming well it needs a higher gear ratio and that problem would be solved. If it had the same gear ratio as the 6x6 it would have won with no problems.

It's not plastic on wood, it has rubber studs

Don't forget about the weight difference 6x6 is much more lighter

Hey thank you so much I really do appreciate all this! My brain hurts for thinking about new designs lol😀

No mods yet other than a little ballast upfront! It’s a super solid build Lego did, I guess the rear 4 wheels take the strain what usually 2 did so it does help! And cheers Easton again😀

Cheers Whizkid! If it’s one of my MOCs it will be weird! Lol. The build is taking awhile though😀

@@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines Tonk 2.0

Haha maybe a giant one!!

Hey cheers! Yeah I do Lego’s creation and it looks good as a 6x6! Super strong drivetrain

thanks it’s a great model from Lego! slightly better with the 6x6 mod😀

I bought the set (4x4 obviously not the 6 wheel moc)

Hey great! Make sure to play about with those gear ratios to get your preferred speed an torque!

It definitely pulls above its weight 😀

The longer it went the more the rubber heated creating more traction.

Hey thank you I’m glad you liked it😀

Hey thank you Sniper! I’m so happy with how it’s gone though already😀😀

Dry your eyes lol. At least it beat the cheating Obstacon haha😀

@@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines Yeah, totally lol

Hey thanks for the comment! For saying how wobbly it’s chassis was with those legs it did alright. The drivetrain was powerful, shame it wasn’t on something sturdier😀

Wojan ma więcej Qubus

Lucky you! Have fun😀

Hey thanks! The last round dragged a little lol

Hey thank you! With the double gear switch it has so much torque I don’t think it matters which one. The XL spins that tiny bit quicker so it’s probably better but only due to this gear setting. If you were to use the standard gearing or even switch one the L motors would be quite a bit better according to my tests😀

Hey there! Thank you so much for that appreciate it 😀

Hey thank you! It’s a bit quirky but I like it too😀

@@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines sir hi but the vehicle with six wheels it’s already exist but you have to search for it

That’s cool and I never claimed to have invented it! Lol😀 it’s just a basic mod

Hey that’s a good idea! I may use a wheel on the front to tackle some climbs in future builds thanks😀

No prob!

No

Hey thanks for the comment I appreciate it 😀

Yeah I was sad! Ultimately it needed one more motor on each side! The issue with tracks is they sap a lot of power but like you say it still did great!

It's literally the opposite, hard plastic has poor friction on smooth surfaces vs rubber wheels

Tracks do not add grip. This is a myth that needs to die. Friction is not dependent on surface area. Tracks do not exist for the purpose of creating more friction. They solve other problems that are not terribly relevant in this scenario.

Thank you Ivan😀

Haha I love it😀

Hey there! Thank you so much for the lovely comment I really do appreciate it!😀

Hey thank you very much! It’s an identical rear axle as what you build on the 42099 with another XL motor and I just used a few beams to connect it! All off the one hub works fine 😀

Yeah went on a little too long though lol

@@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines hahah yea it was quite the battle! Can't imagine what grazer could haul if she had a bit more tourqe

Yeah it weighed a lot and had super traction on the wood and other thing! It actually left rubber on the floor! Just a bit but you could see the lines😀

Agree Josh just lacked the torque😀

Hey thank you very much! I did do a little geeky test and got the fishing scales to test the grip backwards and forwards by pulling the vehicle along a surface and on the carpet at least they were better backwards but I’ll try again! Tyre treads are the shape they are mainly to get rid of water and dirt but in this case they don’t really need to do that

@@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines the reason I said this was because I’ve been able to climb loose slopes better with the tires facing forward.

Oh right cool! Yeah the design of the tyre the correct way will disperse all loose rocks gravel etc outwards like it’s designed.

That’s expensive track! Lol

Haha I’m glad you liked it 😀

Thanks Ramsau😀😀

Yes 😃

hey there! thank you so much😀😀

Cheers Ghost! Yeah it’s a beast I felt bad for the grazer as it nearly did it but ultimately it didn’t have enough torque or too long a gearing

@@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines Yes true but can you explain two things to me? I am German and not speaking English that long actively yet so what's in an easy way "too long of a gearing" meaning? And second I am being confused by ratios 😂 for example in your video there's A: 2,3:1 and B: 1:5 what do those mean? Like what do they describe about the gearing? I'm sorry my question might be confusing as hell 😂 but idk how to explain it more easy... Well so I am confused that on the one side it's 2,3 to 1. That must mean it's double as fast so big gears spinning small gears? And 1:5 is that small gears spin big gears for torque and less speed am I right? I am still learning, so yeah😂😂😂

@@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines Oh and by the way I've been trying out the BC2 app again and I just forgot to turn on my local place If yknow what I mean 😂 I found them both in the app and I'll get a controller soon too so I'll be good to go I guess

Haha you’re English is good Ghost keep it up! Long/low gearing would all be like 5-7th gear in your car! Short/high gearing would be like 1st-2nd you go slow. I know we all use different phrases! So 2.33-1 would mean 2.33 times the motors spin for one revolution of the wheels 1:5 would be one turn of the motor and the wheels would turn 5 times! Fast but no torque 14:1 the motors spinning a lot but the wheels hardly turn like the 42099 lol

@@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines Woah that's a great explanation! I'ma Screenshot this 😂😂😂😂😂😂 thank you a lot my friend! And thx for the compliment that my English is good :D I try my very best lol

Hey Kayra! It was simply down to the lack of torque or longer gearing, those tracks use a lot of power! Technically the 42099 had the superior torque at the wheels with that 14:1 ratio

I dont think there is enough friction created to heat the tires at all

Hey thankyou Joshua! I do have two weights on the front end! Hard to spot but they’re just behind the front tyres.

Hi I just build another rear 42099 axle unit and just connected it with some beams! It’s a simple yet robust mod and gives it great climbing capabilities 😀

Yeah it doesn’t suit the tyres on that surface! It’s probably the least grippiest for tyres tbh but suits the tracks with studs on😀

Hey thank you very much Aedan😀

@@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines your welcome

Hey that’s great thank you😀

The tracked thing was quite heavy so had quite a bit of grip on the lower grip surfaces, with a bit more torque I think it would of won😀

@@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines right, every time the gears slipped it lost ground aswell. That thing is really cool!

Hey thanks I did like that model, I didn’t want to break it! Sorry I didn’t see your reply before, it didn’t show up on the app version! New weird tracked crawler tomorrow which should give the 42099 a good run!😀

I will do a video on this! I could be wrong! Good observation :)

Hey thanks for that comment, I love the old style tanks! So creative 😀

@@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines I know a lot about history

Hi Frank unfortunately not as yet as I do not have the time. I do hope to in the future though. Btw the 42099 6x6 is just another 42099 rear unit simply connected with beams. It’s simple but works well 😀

Hey definitely, I was annoyed about this which is why I double up on the gears now 😀

Hey there thank you so much! 😀 I bought mine off eBay second hand but it’s still expensive!

Haha Thomas, there was a heater there not so long ago! Who knows when the switch will go lol

Yeah there was a few issues with the tank as well! One being not enough torque so the smart hubs out out! Grrr. Also the teeth started skipping near the end
