Hi Efferman,

How’s your “Quadrohorse” design going? Really looking forward to be able to build that.

also the link to your “poor mans RC version” is down. I’m getting forwarded to another German Lego forum but wasn’t able to find the LXF there. 

Thanks!

I found out that Efferman didn't continue working on this project. I'd like to continue but the LXF files arent available on that website anymore due to migration to a new website.

For some reason I'm not allowed to send a message to Efferman (0 messages per day allowed?) some hopefully Efferman reads this message of somebody else could help me out providing me the latest "42069 Quadrohorse 2.lxf" he made.

Thanks!

Once you reach 10 posts, you can send PMs.

Hi!

There is one of the MOD of 42069 with wheels (portal and wheels from the 42070)

LDR model from MLCAD

Hi! I made this few months ago, now decided to share. I try to figure out how to capture video with same phone that i use to control Buwizz, its annoying you cant background video capture with android native apps. This RC model has 2-speed manual gearbox, V8 fake engine, 4x4 drive, rc winch, front lights and original door setup.

At least on my samsung phone, I can have two apps on the screen at the same time. Swipe up from the bottom to bring up the apps you have open, then hold press on the one you want to open over the other and drag it onto the the other app. It's a little weird but you'll get the hang of it.

Regarding the model, it looks awesome! What motors are you using, and what are the gearbox ratios? A few more photos would be great.

Yeah my phone (Sone Xperia 10 IV) allows for multi-screen apps but for some reason it doesnt allow camera. And the 3rd party background video recorder apps permissions make me paranoid. So this is crappy quality laptop webcam video.

Motors are PF motors. For drive 2x L motor, winch M and steering servo.

Gears go like this:

1st gear: 8t/24t > 16t/20t > differential

2nd gear: 20t/16t > differential

Here more pics, do you want something spesific?

Thank you! The space in the trunk looks good, I bet you could put a hamster in there ;)

The speed in high gear is surprising as well, I think you made a good MOD.

Maybe a photo of the front of the vehicle with the doors closed, from about the same angle as this photo.

You can right click, or on browser hold, and open just the image in a new tab. Then you can copy the URL and paste it to embed. But this site has rules about image size, below 1000x1000 is the rule. If you upload your images to bricksafe, they have a handy option to open images in resized resolutions, which is perfect for eurobricks.

Thanks, the mission was to fit beer can in trunk x) 

First i tried this transmission setup with the old differentials, but then it could move barely on both gears, so i think this is as efficient as it can be :)
