Now You Can Drive Your Very Own UT3 Hellbender - No, Really!

[Dark Pulse]

Granted, it's not life-size, nor does it come with a functional skymine turret or sniper turret in the back - but it is very much real!

The model is certainly not 100% accurate, as the original vehicle was quite challenging to reproduce. It is, however, entirely functional and fitted with 4 motors total. Power is delivered from two battery boxes, not because of some particularly high energy consumption, but because it turned out to be optimal to locate the battery box on the side, so I have used two battery boxes, one counterbalancing the other. The 4×4 drive is powered by a PF XL motor, and the steering is operated by PF Medium one. Another Medium motor rotates two turrets synchronously.

Shame the turrets are non-functional. There's a few squirrels who could use a good sniping, and I'm sure a few of our readers have annoying little brothers or sisters who are cruisin' for a skymine combo or two.

pffft you didn't say it was lego. I though someone built an actual car reading the description

Still very cool though.

Hey thanks for the info...

I was a lego fan (technic) so I'd buy it given a chance

 

[«MechikTaj»]

Wow, I want one!

That's really impressive, actually. 100% Lego parts...

How 'bout a Stealthbender next? With actual Necris Cloaking technology.

Lego is really doing impressive things, and this is a great example of how serious users can create just amazing work. I think a Nemesis would look pretty handsome in lego, too.

 

[Sir_Brizz]

Really cool. I like the video.

 

[UBerserker]

I really like it. Lego rocks.

Yeah, me too. Now that would be awesome, but lego version is also very well done.

Nah, but seriously, it looks pretty good.

I'll start being impressed if someone builds a Lego Leviathan with a fully functional deployment feature. That Hellbender is nice work nonetheless.

 

[toniglandyl]

EFF YEAH !

I agree with Wormy, that would be pretty awsome. Imagine how many lego people I could kill with that?!
