Pattspatt Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 I’m sure I’m not the first to discover this, but I did a search of the forum and didn't find this solution. For low-torque applications, this works great! There’s a video of it in action at https://m.imgur.com/p8SfCMW Quote
Parazels Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) I don't trust moving parts, that can fall off at some moment. In my mocs I always block gears and even axles from both sides. Edited June 28, 2020 by Parazels Quote
amorti Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 This seems like a bad idea. I can't imagine a way to make a driveshaft using that which would run smooth. You know Lego CV joints slide on an axle, right? This gives enough extension for any reasonable suspension setup. If you need more, you need to look at why your driveshafts need that much extension (wrong geometry) Quote
Pattspatt Posted June 28, 2020 Author Posted June 28, 2020 I haven’t used this for suspension - I agree, it’s a lot clunkier than the cv joints. However it’s working well to get Hand of God steering to an adjustable-position steering wheel. So, not a driveshaft in the traditional sense, but still technically transferring some torque. The steering wheel in my case is able to turn the wheels using this set-up pretty easily. Quote
