Skookumjim Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) For those who might be interested .....I have for a while had the idea of building a remote controlled vehicle complete with working gearbox. The result is a fairly compact rear wheel drive Roadster. https://www.dropbox.com/s/zxlk0l52hstrrj8/IMG_9898.jpg?dl=0 The model uses colour sensors as always on headlights https://www.dropbox.com/s/wz9kaikcuttvh5q/IMG_9899.JPG?dl=0 The gear box concept was thoroughly tested before the main construction https://www.dropbox.com/s/2y5qix7787nt1wx/IMG_9876.JPG?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/eaf4h0e5d0yf86j/IMG_9878.mov?dl=0 The vehicle was rear wheel drive only to leave room for direct steering https://www.dropbox.com/s/cfvsmzb1isvg9zg/IMG_9900.jpg?dl=0 Rear differential is absent diff lock in the interests of space https://www.dropbox.com/s/4gpfiwdcpr8w4dw/FullSizeRender.JPG?dl=0 The final model is powered by a large spike prime motor with medium motors for gear shift and steering, Control is by streamed drag and drop coding via bluetooth. Gear shift is sequential up and down. The vehicle is initialised by a steering calibration... and if necessary a reset of the gear sequence. Once initialised it will always start moving in first gear. Gear shift and steering are slider controlled. Edited March 27, 2021 by Skookumjim Clarity Quote
