Chawn Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) Completion date: 29/12/2017. Size: 39 units/width 14 units/high 9 units. scale: 1/15. Weight: 1.478 kg. Power: 2 x L motor , 1x return motor. Number of parts: 1500. Control: IR Receiver. This is my work last year, in fact, this is the first work of my contact with Technic, and the F1 racing is the second one, I hope you will like it. The Sd.Kfz. 250 (German: Sonderkraftfahrzeug 250-'special motor vehicle') was a light armoured halftrack, for use in World War II. The basic troop carrier version was used as an armored personnel carrier for reconnaissance units, carrying scout sections. This basic variant usually mounted one or two MG34 machineguns. Several special-purpose variants were seen early in the war. The 250/3 and 250/5 were command variants, with fewer seats but equipped with long-range radio equipment. These were used by battalion and higher commanders as personal command vehicles, most famously the 250/3 used by Erwin Rommel in the North African campaign.It could attain 76 km/h (47 mph), but the driver was cautioned not to exceed 65 km/h (40 mph).Most variants were open-topped and had a single access door in the rear.

Leonardo da Bricki Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 Looks really cool, you did the shaping quite well. The performance is also good. Are the front wheel suspended? Quote

Leonardo da Bricki Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 Live axle? Looks good. Does the differential on the tracks affect them too much? Seems like that isn't the best for climbing... Quote

Lenivkin_Eugene Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 Absolutely stunning! Another model well done, very recognizable from any angle! Quote
MajklSpajkl Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) Looks really good and drives good as well. I thought thought that it would steer bad because of long tracks but works perfect. Do you know if the real half-tracks were steered only by the front wheels? I would imagine that different speed of left and right track would also help but i guess that would be rather complicated to achieve only with the steering wheel and without electronic at that time.

Thirdwigg Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 Very Cool. I have shut down my own 250/251 projects because I could not get the armored panels to look good enough for my eyes. You did a good job here, and scale worked well for the functions in the MOC. Look forward to seeing more. Quote
Lakop Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Excellent work. I did wonder how it would steer with the tracks, i'm pleased it works very well. Good photo's and video. H Quote
Jaromir Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Wow, it is looking great, I love machines from second world war. Btw. I wanted to ask, why the lego never released any series connected to military or war. Is it because other famous company is producing those kind of themes? Or Lego just simply doesn't want to produce bricks related to army, war? I would love to see Legos tank creations or aircrafts. Quote
WvG_853 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Very nice! One if my fabourite type of vehicles when I was young. Cool! Wish I could make one ... Quote

Good photo's and video. H The double motor makes the front gear of the track and the two front wheels in the four drive state. The front wheel controls the steering. Quote

The Germans where very cunning and had braked steering system Quote

Kelkschiz Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Very nice MOC. Impressive that you managed make such a good shape with liftarms. Also really liked the video. Quote
