Roaring down the road, it's the worlds largest Technic 18-Wheeler! Features: 114 Technic panels (a record also?), suspension, landing legs, RC Truck with powered duallies, pinion steering with auto return, working headlights, and opening hood with V6! Measures 3 1/2 feet long, 8" wide, and 11" tall.  This is my submission to the August "Take the Technic Challenge - Build a record-breaking machine!"   The top 10 will be announced on Thursday! If you would like to see more pictures of the suspension, engine, or anything else, just ask! Thanks for looking  |

Sweet. Looks very cool. =D Good work, Jayko! In fact, when I first looked at it, I thought it was an official toy of some kind, so very good job in making this. =D

The forum is a girl? 0_o
I imagine new people coming to the forum expecting to see discussion about LEGO, only to see RPGs full of deranged characters and insane people talking about cheese and brains.
I'm beet. I don't think I'll do homework tonight.
So, you're a vegetable?

That is just great!
By the way, what is that device thingy beside the car?

Why does the programmer always get Halloween and Christmas mixed up?

Whoa!! That's epic! I agree with Blade, it does look official. You even have rear view mirrors! The detail is incredible. What are the sides of the truck made of? I'm not very familiar with Technic. It looks like thin plastic pieces of some kind that you can link together... can you post a link of a couple of the sets you got them from? Again, amazing job. LEGO could easily sell this as a set. With this project, I would be surprised if you didn't make it to the top ten. I will be checking on Thursday. |

With this project, I would be surprised if you didn't make it to the top ten. I will be checking on Thursday. Thanks everyone for the comments! CC, the sides of the truck, trailer, and roof are called Technic Panel 1 x 5 x 11and came in abundance on the 2009 FLL field mat (there was a giant bridge in the center, that was made up of them, my FLL friend had 2 kits, and we obtained a free one from our regional tournament. He was kind enough to let me use the yellow ones, and I was able to supply most of the red ones. They are very versatile, and if you asked me what my favorite technic element, I would probably tell you "The bridge plate!" |

CONGRATULATIONS, JAYKO!!! |
   The dream is free.. the work to achieve it is sold separately.OOC: An OOC expression of horror would confirm your humanity nicely.  MLNO. The only forum I know where expressions like the one above are commonplace. Everyone is frustrating in their own special way.

Not bad pal, very impressive bricks indeed, though I think you should have made the wheel base a tad longer, just a comment from a real Truck Driver

Yea, I realized that about half way through building it... And didn't have time to go back and fix it. The trailer can only turn about 45 degrees before locking up.... =/ |
