Hello friends, "Mad Max" must have been seen by many people, I don't know if the thick wasteland punk vehicles in it have attracted you? Today I will bring you a very tense shape truck, produced by Yuxing Model King, the doomsday trailer number 18006, and the object of the reproduction is Lego MOC35305. This doomsday tractor has a total of 1507 parts and is driven by 4 motors. Under such a surging power, how will it behave? Let me evaluate it in detail.
Unboxing:
The packaging is unremarkable, the front of the box is printed with a photo of the finished front, and the back is posted separately with some of the characteristics of the car, such as the ultra-high chassis and the empty body, the damage is indeed called "wasteland wind"
The contents of the box are as follows, there are 6 packs of parts, 4 rubber tires, a manual and a separate carton. The carton contains 1 servo motor, 1 M motor, 2 XL motors, a lithium battery and a remote control. Among the 6 packages of parts, 5 packs have a number of 1 to 5 on it, and the other package is a blue and black universal connection part, and each large package of parts also has its own independently packaged packet after opening, and each packet is also printed with the corresponding number to prevent confusion, which is very humane. If you have spelled out a domestic brand before, although each package of parts inside is also numbered, in the actual assembly process, you will find that each package of parts is messy, and the number is useless. When assembling each part of this one, the manual will indicate which package of parts needs to be used, and the idea is clearer.
The manual also clips a sticker, the ABD on the sticker can be used to distinguish the motor model, it is strongly recommended to follow the instructions in the manual to paste the corresponding position in the motor and interface, which can help the subsequent assembly and routing.
Assembly process:
The instructions of the manual are still very clear, no obvious errors have been found, according to the process of the instructions from beginning to end can be completed, first assemble the chassis of the car, then assemble the boom and body, and finally combine the body and the chassis, and then install the wheels, a cool doomsday trailer is completed. The assembly process is generally comfortable, only some long cross shafts need to be large when they need to pass through multiple parts in succession! force! go out! strange! trace! In addition, the combination of most other parts snaps is relatively smooth, the overall assembly process can be said to be relatively smooth, but I myself encountered three small problems in the assembly process, here to mention to you, if you also start this in the future, I hope to provide some reference to your assembly process.
The first problem is the locking mechanism of the winch. The winch is controlled by black knob A, in the state of winch locking, the yellow component B will jam the gear under it, at this time, the winch can only be rotated counterclockwise, the rope can only be recovered, can not be extended, if you want to extend the rope, you need to lift the yellow part B, that is, press down on the black part C, then the winch can rotate freely. But the black soft glue D cross hole in the installation of the angle and cross shaft difference of 45 °, I once suspected that the manual is wrong or the wrong parts, and finally there is no way to force the miracle hard twist up, and finally know that the design is indeed like this, is to rely on the toughness of the soft glue, in the case of no external force will be part B down pressure stuck gear, but the problem is that the soft glue given by Yuxing is too hard, so after installation can only lock the winch, but can not lift B by pressing down C. The solution is to find two cross shafts inserted into the two cross holes of the soft glue before installation, and then twist and twist, twist and twist, twist and turn, twist the soft glue, and then all the problems will be solved!
The second problem is the engine. According to the instructions of the manual, the yellow part E connecting the hose is to be inserted in the left red box circle of this hole, but this will cause the hose to get stuck on the top of the rightmost piston, when the engine starts, the other pistons are brushing up and down the brush, only the one that is stuck is different from the stationary there, although it is harmless, after all, this engine is just a look, and can not really provide power, but I am absolutely heavy obsessive-compulsive! No! allow! allow! So I inserted part E into the hole on the right, perfectly avoiding it.
The third problem is the location of the lithium battery. The instruction manual indicates that the location of the installation of lithium batteries is basically in the center of the car, I also installed it in the beginning, but when it comes to the need to combine the body and the chassis, it will be found that the lithium battery installed on the chassis and a drive shaft in the center of the body have obvious interference, in order to be able to combine smoothly, it is necessary to move the lithium battery as far as possible to the co-pilot direction, to make room for the drive shaft, in addition to the reasonable arrangement of the motor line, to be honest, combined with the chassis and the body still need to spend some effort, But when the chassis and the body are combined, the entire body is instantly complete, and more than ten hours of hard work finally shows results at this moment.
Appearance and details:
Unlike the luxury supercar that swept the current market, this doomsday trailer was released here, revealing a doomsday wasteland wind, full of wild and rough personality, and no 200 pounds of muscle did not dare to drive this car. The main color of the body is blue, the front part is a bit like an American muscle car, and the rear of the car is a pickup truck-like cargo compartment, and there is an orange decorative part in the cargo compartment. A long boom sticks out from behind the wheelhouse, and underneath the boom hangs a part that looks a bit like a ship anchor.
Probably for the sake of off-road performance considerations, whether it is the height of the chassis from the ground or the body from the chassis is very exaggerated, the four wheels have independent suspension, and the tire size is also very large compared to the body, full of bigfoot feeling.
There are two thick exhaust pipes on each side of the front of the car, and the sparkling plating effect can only be described as cool.
The details in the cab can only be said to be average, you can see the steering wheel, seats and the rudimentary center console, the co-pilot position is nothing, the space is used to place lithium batteries
The most eye-catching part of the engine, no hood, this V16 engine is directly exposed, 16 pistons also use electroplated parts, the rear of the engine also has three hoses, greatly increasing the sense of realism, for such a shape, most people will feel rough and ugly, but combined with the doomsday background, it is really the right design, cow!
Movable display section:
What could be more appealing than a wild look? Mechanical linkage, of course wow! The oil-stained transmission gears in real life may be reluctant to approach, but when all this is reduced to the model, it creates a unique charm. This product is a four-wheel drive vehicle, two XL motors control the movement of the front and rear wheels, and the front and rear wheels are equipped with differentials to ensure that the speeds of the inner and outer tires match each other during the turning process.
Turning simulates the gear and rack mechanism of a real vehicle, driven by a servo motor, which can be automatically straightened back.
The Aforementioned V16 engine, which is not just a decoration, is driven by an M motor, and under the impetus of multiple cams, the 16-cylinder piston moves up and down one after another, even giving people the feeling that this is a real car. Unfortunately, the drive system of the piston engine and tire is independent of each other, and whether the piston is moving or not has nothing to do with whether the car runs or not. Wanting to use the piston engine to really provide power on plastic blocks is obviously a fool's dream, but through the gear transmission, the piston movement and the wheel movement of the hinge are completely achievable, which is configured on many of Lego's products, I don't know if Yuxing's products can do it in the future, which can better enhance the realism of the vehicle.
The angle of the boom and the control of the sling scale need to be manually adjusted by the knob, and some gods on the Internet have changed these two to motor drives, but for me, the handbag, I can only worship it.
Take it outside for a test of athletic ability. Yuxing's own remote control does not know why it has not been connected, so it can only download the APP with a mobile phone to control, the performance of movement on the flat ground is more general, the speed is relatively slow, and there is a clear sense of frustration when starting, the turning radius is very large, and the general right angle bend is difficult to turn over...
Although the flat ground performance is average, what is the most important thing about the off-road vehicle? It's off-road! The XL motor is not fast, but this provides more torque, which is a stronger off-road capability. On the uneven mud, it can be said that it is like walking on the ground (or it may be because it is very slow on the flat ground...). ）
Facing a small staircase that is almost half the height of the car, completely stress-free. Thanks to excellent rear-wheel suspension, the other side of the tyres remains stablely grounded throughout the process.
The climbing ability is also quite good, up to 45 degrees or more (please ignore the simple ramp I temporarily built in the teaching and research office)
Yuxing model to play this doomsday trailer, from all aspects are more satisfactory, the comprehensive quality is quite good, Jingdong self-operated 460 yuan price, and then wait for a discount, can give the configuration of 4 motors, the cost performance is also quite good. The appearance is set off by the background of the end of the world, the simple and scrapped shape has also become heroic and domineering, and the plating details are embellished just right, which will fully combine the feeling of technology and wasteland after the end of the world. The mechanical linkage is also full of details, and many places simulate the real vehicle structure for design. The assembly difficulty is moderate, the threshold for getting started is not high, for those who have not been exposed to this type of model, as long as they have patience, they can definitely complete it according to the instructions in the manual. The finished product is displayed at home or taken outdoors for off-roading.
Rating (out of 100, final average):
Appearance score: 50+20 (a bit ugly at first glance, but 20 points for the apocalyptic theme)
Feel score: 75 (domestic parts are too tight, generally 60 points passed, but this building is generally smooth)
Movable score: 85 (good climbing off-road performance, deduct 15 points at flat ground turtle speed)
Overall score: 76.7
Here's Fred, thank you for watching, and look forward to your unique insights in the comments section. For more, stay tuned for Lego Warehouse of Bad Snow and Jim's World, we'll see you in the next issue!
