Mini RC American Style Semi Truck

Hello again everyone!

It took some time, but after my design being automatically marked as IP infringing sometime last week I had to contact BrickLink and they responed to my request and finally unlocked it for download today:

It is still the same file that was made when I posted the last update because I can't update the project on bricklink (or at least I have no idea how) and it takes time for them to process all submissions. It doesn't have manual design, but you can open it in stud.io and do more with it, maybe modify it, see how it'll look with your color setting or take some construction parts you like into your project.

You can check this design with building steps on bricklink.

Thanks once again and will I keep my hopes for passing the next milestone soon :)

Hello again everyone!

Thank you all for your support - 200 supporters passed really quick as well. I'm keeping fingers crossed to get to the next milestone within the time limit.

For those who might be interested in building this truck on their own, I have made the design with building steps available on bricklink.

Instructions aren't there yet as the steps are provisional right now - there are big chunks/multiple pieces attached with each step, but it should be just enough for you to figure out how to build it and what bricks you'll need for it. 

You will also be able to view it live in 3D thanks to bricklink web viewer, so I recommend taking a look. Right now the model is for view only, but you should be able to download the project when it gets accepted by bricklink moderators.

I'll try to start building the trailer in stud.io as well when I'll find some time, but I'm not yet sure if I'll be able to make it as a single design or whether I should make it in separate project as I'm not profficient enough with this tool yet.

Thanks once again and will I keep my hopes for passing the next milestone soon :)

Hello everyone!

Thank you all for your support on getting through the first milestone of 100 supporters - that was quick :)

Here's a demo video if you wondered how it looks live: 

There's also a video showing a test of the ramp mechanism up close:

My build isn't perfect - I'm limited with bricks I have and with time I can spare on this hobby, but I think this is enough to show a concept that could work as a commercial LEGO kit, and I hope that final product can be easily made even better by proffessional designers at LEGO, and this is something that is easy to get inspired by and reproduce for everyone. I'd love to see more of those kind of ideas on technic kits as well.

Additionally, if you like this kind of ideas, I'd like to encourage you to support and/or submit ideas that are not made on specific ip - while there are brands that we all know and like and we would love to have lego sets made based on those, making a product idea based on intellectual property might be a quick way to gaining a lot of support, but that's a double edged sword which may prevent a popular idea from getting approved on review after the long road to 10 000 supporters. So I encourage you to also support and/or submit ideas not based on any brand, and of course have fun doing so.

Thanks once again and I keep my fingers crossed for passing the next milestone soon :)
