Yes, for me it is a supercar, it is not a truck trial or a normal 4x4. Yes, I know, it is very high and square, but it has many advanced features and solutions, and for me it is enought to call it supercar.
Note: The number with the name means the wheelbase in inches, 110 in this case, it is the most used. But nowadays exist 90, 110 and 130 versions.
My history with this vehicle:
When I was a child, in my town, everyone used a Land-Rover Defender (usually very old) to go to the countryside, mainly for the agriculture.
It's a extraordinary cross-country car and nearly indestructible. That's the reason why it's very used all around the world.
Since then, I am a Land-Rover Defender fan (nowadays, I have two of them to use in my family's farm).
I tried to built it some years ago, but with the parts avaiable in that moment it wasn't possible...(because of the wheels mainly).
But, with the new Unimog tires was the perfect moment to built it definetly.
This model is made in 1:8.4 scale, thus remains in 28 studs wide, 65 of length and 29 of high (without roof).
It have 5+R speeds secuential gearbox, with auto clutch.
The mechanism disconnect the clutch, change the speed and connect it again, pushing only once the controller.
I know this is not realistic, but I you want to control the gearbox remotely, this is the only way to do it.
The speeds ratio
R - 2.08:1
1 - 1.67:1
2 - 1.25:1
3 - 1:1
4 - 1:1.33
5 - 1:1.67
Also it has 2-speeds transfer case:
High range - 1:1
Low range - 3:1
Finally it has RWD and AWD modes
The maximal speed in high range 5th speed is around 4 kph(2.5mph)
It uses 3 IR recievers and 7 PF motors:
- 2XL for drive
- M for the steering
- XL for main gearbox
- M for the brakes
- M for the tranfer case
- M for connect the AWD
Of course the 4-cylinder fake engine moves with the drive motors.
The steering system is based in the real live axles system, it not uses the typical rack.
It has disc brakes in all wheels. They are very powerfull, enought to stop the transmision.
Also you can disasembly the bodywork removing only 4 pins and the steering wheel, do it is very fast.
With the bodywork removed, you can remove 5 more pins and take out the complete powertrain.
The powertrain includes:
- 4-cylinder fake engine
- Clutch
- Secuential gearbox
- Transfer case
- RWD-AWD selector
Finally as always a video showing all features:

Que guapo está, esto es lo que quería ver yo, y me ha gustado mucho mas de lo que esperaba!!
Y corre que se las pela! ^_^
It is your last
Is there a chance to post a simple instructions for this gearbox?
I know you did instructions for Mini's gearbox, but this one looks much better!
Thanks!
nice
but you say that the hight is 29 studs witout a roof
but in the video or the pictures you can't see a roof???
Best 4x4 ever in Technic... and It is a Land Rover.
Congrats for such Creation Sheepo.
Put it out on Cuusoo, NOW!
You did it again!
Awesome!
does the separated powertrain includes the sequential gearbox??
if yes it would e fantastic because it seems very smal to me and because of the shape it is easyer to put in a smaller car than the mini's
tuur
I have update the text about that, read it again!!;)
Wow, that is SO awesome! You should come to our Landy Festival next year... Check out what we put on this year:

This is super.....unrealllll

I hope there come a set of it!!!!
And than I buy them.
wow i really love it:)
but what do you mean by 'my last supercar'
yiu have use the 3d builder to do it or only with patience and imagination?? jajaja :) nice one again
With many patience and imagination hahaha, all my cars are designed with that system. In a technic creation you can't use digital programs because you can't know if the connections and structure will be enough strong and reliable.
OK, when i saw the porsche instructions i thought you made all your models that way.. jaja ok keep on with your models, are fantastic
Please Please post instructions for this!
Es una obra de arte
Very nice! you should go work for Lego...they'll sell a lot more Lego sets with your amazing creations =)
AMAZING!!! is there any possibility you can make instructions for it? :)
Ditto - just voted for this on Cuusoo. Absolutely awesome... I cannot believe the detail/accuracy/scale, and the engineering is incredible. I'd part with a few hundred notes for this model! Please list parts/instructions!!
Very good work Sheepo.
My son and I would really like to build this - we are LR Defender fans (we have an old one) - will you be making the instructions and parts list available? Well done, great job! grant@sundance.hu
Great job, but all Defs are AWD, only Series were RWD/AWD.
This is an awesome project, well done!
Option for Diff Lock?
You are in the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten ;)
http://bil.aftenposten.no/bil/Her-er-en-fjernstyrt-Lego-Landrover-20967.html (In Norwegian)
can I buy one?
and how mucht does that cost?
And if you couldn't buy it. Please, send the instructions to this e-mail.
tristan.surtel@xs4all.nl
simply amazing sheepo!! job incredibly well done - I certainly hope things on cuusoo.com workout so we can get this made into a set!!
I'm trying to make something equally impressive myself, but damn - you sure set the bar REALLY HIGH!!
are there downloadable instructions anywhere?? I really want to see detail on your 'traction mode' and the transfer-case...as well as the super compact 5-speed transmission-shifting device!! SOOOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME!!
Best Technic MOC I've ever seen, I've voted at cuusoo.com. I want one............would look good next to the Unimog.
Espectacular... He posteado tus enlaces en los foros de la Legion Land Rover Colombia y en el Land Rover Club Argentina... Un grano de arena para lograr los 10000 votos... Mucha suerte.
Please put the instructions for the gearbox!
I say, vote and buy!
Please post the gearbox instructions or more detailed photos.
I would pay for the complete instructions!
I know it may be conflictual with Cuusoo, but I don't think Lego would make it a real set (they should but it would be too expensive to attract lots of people).
Great job as always!
WOW !!! DONDE PUEDO COMPRAR UNO ASI ??? CUANTO CUESTA ?
Lo siento pero no esta en venta en ningun lado, tan solo existe el mio jejeje
Sei davvero un genio, complimenti!!!
I don't want to be impertinent, but why this car has no roof??, I have not seen any fully convertible, at least have a roof that covers the driver! ;)
that thing is amazing in its own right
Very Good
this moc weighs over 3000 grams, has 9cm wheels, is driven by two XL motors and has a 1:1.67 gear ratio in 5th gear in the high range. i am working on a supercar that currently weighs less than 1000 grams, has 6cm wheels, has a 1:1.19 gear ratio in 6th gear and is also driven by two XL motors, yet the motors in this car seem fine when driving off-road, and the motors in my moc seem to be always strained even when driving on smooth floorboards. how did you do this?
Why dont you sell it yourself?
Put every piece in sorted bags, seal it, print the instructions and sell it.. Lego does not have to make this creature official.
You can do it!
qwertyuiop, because the 1:1.67 is the GEARBOX gear ratio, not the final transmision ratio, it is not the same thing... Also you must try to built the transmision using the less gears possible...
wow - please make them and sell them, nice landy
awesome!! May I ask about eventual commercialization of this ''car''!?
I have the intention to make instructions for it along the summer
It's a very muscular looking car and I bet it can navigate any kind of terrain. Cool!
Really Great Work! I also would be willing to pay for the Instructions/Part List!
Is there anyway I can get you to build one for me (gift for my dad?). I dont think I can wait for LEGO... this is too genius to keep unmade. BRILLIANT work sir.
I will make instructions to built it this summer, you must be patient ;)
*thumbsup*!!!
Superb creation, Sheepo - my 11 year old son Matt thinks its the best thing he has ever seen! Best wishes from Lancashire, England - keep up the great work!
That is probably the best LEGO thing I´ve seen - unbelievable.
Seems to better than my old 110 ;-)
Really nice ! all the best from germany
Where to put my email adress for the instructions as soon as they're ready?
Great job. I am willing to pay you for the instruction of this model. When the instruction is ready Please let me know :) My mail is songo72@o2.pl
Hello Sheepo.
What a masterpiece!
May I hope one day you will publish the complete set of instructions?
Regards from Italy.
Hola Sheepo.Me encantan los MODs que creas,son muy buenos.Espero que saques las instrucciones de este modelo,que me gusta y me encantaría montarlo.Un saludo a Sheepo y a todos.
Sheepo, I would be well willing to pay for the full instructions of your incredible Land Rover.
Claudio
The summer is almost over;)
I know it must be very difficult to document the full MOC, but if you have the time, could you please post a instructions as well as a part list for the basic functioning structure, including the gearbox and various motors, but not necessarily with the land rover bodywork. I know it must be extremely difficult, but many members of the community would really appreciate it.
I want to do the instructions too, but I don't have time to make it. It needs a lot of work and hundreds of hours...
Ok I understand that it may take a long time, so maybe you do some pictures of the gearbox and mechanisms so that you can preview the principle of operation :)
its just a great car! I sell this cars in Switzerland and my son is a great Defender fan. has 2 Landys with remote control.
now he found your beautiful car in the net and would like to have one....
could you please send me some instructions? that would wunderful :-)
micha.wiedemeier@bluewin.ch
Am I right, that if I post a message here, you'redeleting that one as well?
I don't do that, I just delete messages that have inappropriate words, or questions have already been answered before above.
;-) Then I'll give it another shot:
Could you post some detail pictures of the gearbox of the LR110? It seems so much better in size than the PDK and Veyron one.
Here in Portugal, we really hope it could be a reallity LEGO kit.
Congratulations.
very good work
felicitationes
i vote for your creation in cuusoo
good luck
Wow! Wonderfully accurate looking creation - such a shame you're too busy to publish some instructions ...
if you have the unimog would it be better to buy the oficial set or biuld it with more parts from bricklink in orange
Before think that the Land-Rover must become an official set hahaha
good point but im thinking that it will be 300 and up
which box or parts are there?where can ı find them
It is made with spare parts, you can buy all parts you want in bricklink.com
Hi there Sheepo. Like the the model, in LEGO of all things. I am an avid LR fan, owned many in my time. The LR 90, 110, 130 range is fulltime 4x4, with a lockable differential in the centre transmission. When I have some money I may buy some instructions, for the LR 90 as I owned one (Converted to V8 auto).
Well done!
