skriblez Posted November 10, 2013 The green tumbler? Awesome looking and it looks like it might want to eat that 41999! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junpei Posted November 10, 2013 Looks extremely powerful! Are those lime wheels bigger than power pullers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
efferman Posted November 10, 2013 Max theoretical torque at wheels: 890 N/cm (OMG/WTF) holy moly, you should make a tractor pulling video Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bricky300 Posted November 10, 2013 This comes after your Titan so what comes next? A trial truck with 10 Xls or something like that? :P Its great!!! But I don't want to be the axle between the final gear and the wheel... :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doc_Brown Posted November 10, 2013 Sweet! I love the sleek low look. Awesome man! Can't wait to see this thing in action! :thumbup: Sometimes you can just use the battery boxes as part of the design, and it just works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Energo Posted November 10, 2013 Wow! Looks very cool. Moreover, using such rare combination of colors also impressed me) Wonderful MOC. However, isn't it too heavy for its size? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timslegos Posted November 10, 2013 4 XL motors? Wow that should have a LOT of climbing ability. I look forward to the video. tim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrNumbskull13 Posted November 10, 2013 Sweeeeeeeet! It reminds me me of one of your old trucks! Btw how do you work out the torque to the wheels? I would like to try. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boxerlego Posted November 10, 2013 Very nice! That is some good amount of torque. The power train looks great. I love how 4 xl motors flows to one main gear that is awesome. I cant wait to see this MONSTER. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zerobricks Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) Thanks guys! I broke many gears trying to channel the power of 4 XL motors, but the end result sure is powerfull. I will get some more of the new reinforced 8 tooth gears for the hubs, but so far only one 8tooth rear gear got chewed and sometimes a rear U joint will pop out if the wheel is blocked. Other than that is works pretty damn well :) Speed is simillar to 9398/41999, but the steering is better even without diffs. Also its very low and stable.

Omikron Posted November 10, 2013 I should get some xl motors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zux Posted November 10, 2013 > Zblj Awesome looks! I know the wheels have totally incompatible axle comparing with Technix axle. So I wonder if you could post an image how you attached those wheels to normal axles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junpei Posted November 10, 2013 Haven't you broken any 12t bevels? I'd expect that's where something would go wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lakop Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) That looks very sci fi. Did you consider only using two motors as a default then activating the other two motors if extra power was required. I look forward to the video. H Edited November 11, 2013 by Horace T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clarkdef Posted November 11, 2013 > Zblj Awesome looks! I know the wheels have totally incompatible axle comparing with Technix axle. So I wonder if you could post an image how you attached those wheels to normal axles. Yes I to would like to know how to connect them, and also their weight, as I would love to use bigger wheels but them power puller ones are just toooo heavy. Thanks.

zux Posted November 11, 2013 ...and also their weight, as I would love to use bigger wheels but them power puller ones are just toooo heavy.Thanks. According to BL the weights are: Technic Power Puller - 181.55 g Lime RC one - 108 g Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rockbrick Posted November 11, 2013 80g x 4 is a heck of a saving..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JM1971 Posted November 11, 2013 The 41999 can climb 45 degrees winch assisted, I reckon the MONSTER can do more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zux Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Ok, now I know how that wheel is connected - look closer to the wheel center and you can see 24 teeth gear is used. 4 pcs. of 3L pins used inside can secure the wheel pretty good. And if you use 2pcs 24teeth gears with only 2 3L pins inside and attaching them from different sides as a result it gives rigid connection once you mount the wheel on an axle! Woohoo, I got new weels to use! And the best thing about it - rim has an offset. Rim's offset isn't that great, after all.

Junpei Posted November 11, 2013 Are you using portal axles? Also, is the first picture a WIP? I can see the gears are switched from the 1st and 3rd picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zerobricks Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Guys guys :D Here are the pics of the hubs and the way wheels are attached : The 24 tooth gears and 3L pins provide the interface. But remember the 8L axle withs top may be pernamenlty bent cause of the sheer power Hubs are extremly strong: Also steering point is fairly close to the wheels: Edited November 11, 2013 by Zblj Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
