Bump because the platform doesn't seem to like my images

Hello again everyone,

This is literally a bump because right now I noticed that for roughly around a week the platform is not displaying images in my submission description, making them feel incomplete and out of context walls of text, and I believe this is unfair that time is running out for my submissions while the platform experiences this kind of issue just for my account (or maybe other accounts).

I definitely did not remove the photos, nor did I use photos that are not in gallery in my description. Also the moderation team will usually prevent you from submitting description that feels incomplete like this and try to make you fix such issues before the submission goes live.

I hope you will get to read this update. Please check out the free instructions for Cyber Cruiser build on Rebrickable when you have time. Also comment if you have any ideas on what's happening with this whole situation or you are experiencing the same thing with your submission.

PS: If you like this model, look at my Lego Technic Mechanisms youtube playlist, you will find more interesting ideas there. Share if you can :)

Passing 200 supporters - thanks for support!

Hello again everyone!

Thank you all for your support - it's progressing slowly, but it's still 200 supporters.

Meanwhile I have been doing a lot of different builds, and I made something that could be used as a truck platform as well. Take a look

This kind of truck would have the battery pack in the pulled trailer behind.

 

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

New model created to test and prove that it can be made with Powered Up motors/Technic Hub

Hello again everyone!

I have finally decided to update this idea with model based on Powered Up motors/Technic Hub after I have learned some new building techniques around those new RC building blocks.

Check out the submission page to see videos and extended explanation on the new model.

 

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

Passing first milestone of 100 supporters - thanks for support!

Hello everyone!

Thank you all for your support on getting through the first milestone of 100 supporters - that took some time, but we've got there :)

 

Since this whole community is about sharing ideas and I realised I haven't shown any images explaining how the steering works, so because it is a bit tricky, I'll try to explain it now:

The servo drives the steering over the right wheel, but it does it inderectly through a flat liftarm because there is some elasticity on the wheel anchors which lets the truck have even standing on the ground on all wheels.

This is especially important for a model that has so much weight in front because uneven standing on the front wheels would mean one of the back wheels slipping while being driven.

 

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