Leonard Goldstein Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Hi, after finishing my luffing crane I worked on a very compact 6WD truck with skid steering. The digital model was almost finished about two weeks ago. I prepared to order the needed parts - but then I noticed the "BuWizz fast car competition". And I decided to upset the applecart. The original concept did not have any suspension and would not fit the conditions of the contest. So I widened the chassis and integrated independent suspension to all 6 wheels. There are two separate drivetrains for left and right side, each using an L-motor. But the clue is: they are connected by a subtractor powered by an M-motor. You might know this strategy from my previous MOC "Woody and the Woodpicker" https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/156214-moc-mini-skidder-woody-and-the-woodpicker/&tab=comments#comment-2880712 But there are little differences to "Woody". The drivetrains are geared up to make the vehicle much faster (as it is a fast car contest ...). On the other hand the subtractor is geared down to make steering smooth at high speed. Enough words, here it is: About 1 week to the deadline ... I hope the weather will be fine next week to make some outdoor videos Regards Leonard Goldstein Quote

Leonard Goldstein Posted April 20, 2018 Author Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) Hi everybody, deadline today - it is time to come to an end. My model was finished almost 4 weeks ago and in the meantime I made only very little changes at the roof to make access to the BuWizz easier. Although the last weeks the weather was fine I managed to finish the video only yesterday. The call of the mountain bike was louder than the call of the Lego Watch this: (edit: link seemed to be brocken - fixed) At the moment I have trouble entering the contest as BuWizz does not accept video links to Dailymotion.com. Well Dailymotion has a great advantage: it is a european company with proper data privacy. I am not youtubed or facebooked or anything like that ... If BuWizz is reading this: can you help? Regards Leonard Goldstein Edited April 20, 2018 by Leonard Goldstein Quote
Didumos69 Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) If BuWizz is not going to help I would be willing to post it on my Youtube channel for you, with your name in the title, and remove it after the contest. Could also do that as a temporary fall-back, so you can at least enter. Edited April 20, 2018 by Didumos69 Quote

Hi @Didumos69, many thanks for your offer In the meantime I hat contact to Tihi from the BuWizz-Team and I think the problem is solved. Thanks to Tihi! Now best wishes to all participants of the contest Leonard Goldstein Quote
