Thank you! The instructions were very clear. This thing has some serious torque now. I also replaced the suspension springs with yellow ones, as the originals were way too soft for my taste. 😊
Was considering buying this for an xmass gift but was concerned about lack of tuque in the reviews I watched, In one it couldn't drive across a bed :/ It seems maybe they made a mistake in the instructions and reversed those gears as it clearly works a lot better with this mod. thanks for the upload, seems like someone is getting an awesome gift soon :D
Changing the gears right in the front motor assembly puts a lot of stress on whole transmission. Key is to keep your transmission spinning fast, not slow but forceful. So there is a reason in swapping the last pair, not the first
You have to swap both, the speeds of the wheels would be inconsistent and would put strain on the motors, also this a crawler, slow but forceful is good
There are many examples of lego technic gear-boxes on youtube. Is it possible to integrate one of them into this model, such that you do not need to take it apart to change gears?
It increases the torque but the top speed is reduced. Without the upgrade it gets stuck on any kind of terrain. You won’t see a benefit if you only run it on a flat surface but this is really not a racer anyway. 🙂
what if you just changed one set of gears? (the rear one) will that change the performance? I mean,idk what happens,I think the front wheels will pull the rear ones but,I don't have the model,I'll get in around 2 months,I will swap both , but,that's just a curiosity
It changes the speed as well as the torque so the front and rear drive would not be in sync. You might see a small increase in torque but it would put strain on the motors/gears.
Yes you can do this whilst building by switching the large tan and small black double bevel gears at the following steps: Step 78 use large not small. Step 82 use small not large Step 131 use large not small (2 large gears in this step). Step 145 use small not large
Hi there! I‘ve just finished the complete assembilng considering your upgrade.I think something is wrong. The speed is way too slow and can‘t believe this is the right one. When going, tires are all turning at the same speed. I,ve checked the upgrade and it‘s made right. Could you help me? I‘ve made photos kn all gears installed so may be it would help to find the mistake. Is there anyway we can write each other via mail so I can send you the pics. Many thanks, Tommaso
It is a crawler, not a racer. Does it climb well? Check batteries, check gears are not pushed too tight against other parts so friction high. If you're still concerned feel free to message me on my facebook page bricksmart workshop

Nice upgrade 👍! Funny video - where did you get the tweezers? :-)
Thanks! Tweezers are PTL straight locking tweezers 4.99 on Amazon :)

"40 DEGREASE???"
lego: "wait... thats illegal"
I'm building this model now with the mod Looking forward to seeing how it works
Good on you for recognising other people’s work. Great clip and tips!
- tweezers!
First of all I’m not a dummy
Second of I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO

Me Too 😁🍀🏴☠️
Wow COOL car model!
thank you so much!
Respect, man!

Made my (Birth) Day 💪🍀🏴☠️
😅 I did it!!
For a moment there I thought it’d never go back together and I’d have to pull it apart and start at page 1. 😭😤😭😤

The problem is that it would reduce efficiency/power by 15-40%
have you got free download instructions for the x stream upgrade
can you use the normal power functions motors in the model
But i don't understand, It Will upgrade also the speed or just the inclination?
It increases the torque but the top speed is reduced. Without the upgrade it gets stuck on any kind of terrain. You won’t see a benefit if you only run it on a flat surface but this is really not a racer anyway. 🙂
😱 amazing
I've been trying to incorporate air ride on this model but can't seem to find any videos showing the process
It's easy all you do is replace the shocks with lego pneumatic cylinders
Whats the name of the song?
Power is the same ;) torque is better, but speed worse
That’s right. Speed drop is not as bad as I thought it might be though, it’s just a lot more fun to play with :)
same here!

@@BrickSmartWorkshop ok, thank you,now ik, I supposed it but wasn't sure,so,thanks,
I got that model
Hi can i do dhis when i building it???
Deth Pool that’s preferable to do it right during the building process - much easier and convenient

Tnx

sooo coool!
It iz kull men and it workz
What happens if you switch only one set of gears?
It changes the speed as well as the torque so the front and rear drive would not be in sync. You might see a small increase in torque but it would put strain on the motors/gears.
良いですね。
Just swap the gears lol
But a big lag of speed
Well they call it a crawler!
Es geht gar nich du sauhund
You need no Handy, it works with Lego 88010 RC Control, see: Technicmaster0 or Pybricks RUclips Channel
