KevinMoo Posted July 28, 2018 Author Posted July 28, 2018 16 minutes ago, Zerobricks said: It's same sitation as the actuators used to lift the 42082, which get desynced at higher angles. Imagine one of your axle flexes 90 degrees. One of the driveshafts will gain +90 degrees and other one will lose 90 degrees. This will cause one of them to carry much higher load and othe other one can even oppose it. You can try it by fixing U joints to the frame and to the axle and trying to flex the axle. I haven't bought 42082 yet so I don't know what structure it looks like. Also, please forgive me for my poor English, I still don't quite understand what you mean. By "flexes 90 degrees" do you mean something like this? Quote
Zerobricks Posted July 28, 2018 Posted July 28, 2018 No, I mean try twisting the truck's axle 90 degrees with both driveaxles locked. Quote

OK, I think I got what you mean. After testing on multiple terrains, I didn't notice an obvious desync on alxes. I think that's because most of the time I didn't go that extreme. I will take a deep look into it afterwards, as well as 42082 when I get my hands on it. Thanks for pointing it out. Quote

Your system works great for normal use, but at extreme angles there will be issues, yes. Hope you are not discouraged. Quote

Hope you are not discouraged. I'm totally fine with it. I like building with 62.4mm tires, basically these tires determined that the truck cannot go "too extreme". I will be more cautious for my future, heavier model with similar struture. Quote

AFOLegofan66 Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 Awesome plans Kevin...probably the best I’ve ever worked with. You spent a lot time on this and for sure you will get a donation from me. May I make one suggestion for you. Put a watermark right across your pages to help prevent theft. These plans are extremely valuable because of the time and money you have spent on this project. Thanks man!! Quote

These plans are extremely valuable because of the time and money you have spent on this project. Thanks man!! Thanks. When I first started making instructions several years ago, I had thought about watermark, but eventually I gave it up. It’s a bad user experience, and it cannot prevent those who intend to steal your work from really doing it. I have encountered people making a profit from my free instructions. Being a Chinese I’m kinda numb about piracy, that sounds sad, but I just don’t want to spend more energy dealing with things I don’t want to deal with. So far I haven’t found someone claiming copyrights of my works, I think most people do have a bottom line. Since I’m willing to give my hard work for free, I’m also willing to take the risk. Quote
Aleh Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 Thanks a lot for your job! Missing 11l axle, will definitely order them! Great instructions and MOC! Quote
sirslayer Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 its a good build, the suspension travel is small where the u-joints will never reach the 90 degree point. great job with your instruction Quote
brickless_kiwi Posted August 5, 2018 Posted August 5, 2018 Bit of a long shot? But I really like your Panjero I know you where not interested in making instructions, But would you have LXF? as I have reversed engineered most of your moc but are stuck on a few parts, Kind regards Matt. Quote

I won’t share .lxf file for MOCs with no real building instructions any more, I’m so sorry about that. Quote
