Zerobricks Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) I started building a mini 4x4 offroader with rear swinging axle and all wheel drive. Here is a video of it: What you guys think? Edited January 25, 2010 by Zblj Quote
prateek Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 That's amazing! How do you keep the wheels in power with the suspension? BTW here's the deeplinked video: Quote
Zerobricks Posted December 13, 2009 Author Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) i used a 12 and a 20 tooth gear, because they can be meshed at an angle. This way the motor doesnt wanna spin the rear axle. I used a smilliar setup in trial truck 8.

Milan Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 I thought that squicking noise is somewhere in the drivetrain, but then I remembered that you have a parrot! Quote
Burf2000 Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Hi Mate, really good. Can I ask what part is used for the front where the drive shaft (from the motor) goes down to wheels and is split. I not seen that part before. Quote

Burf2000 Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Arr I think so, is that the bottom of a actuator? Quote
Zerobricks Posted December 14, 2009 Author Posted December 14, 2009 Yes, i used LA bracing. Its tilted :) Quote
Burf2000 Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Thanks mate, very impressive model, might try and build one myself. Has anyone made a lego vechicle that can go up a stair case? Quote
CP5670 Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Cool design. How is the drivetrain connected to the swinging axle? I've actually been building something similar to this, but I was trying to use the driveshaft axle itself as the pivot and found that it was putting too much stress on the axle. I thought that squicking noise is somewhere in the drivetrain, but then I remembered that you have a parrot! default_tong.gif I was wondering what that sound was too. Quote
Brickthus Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Thanks mate, very impressive model, might try and build one myself. Has anyone made a lego vechicle that can go up a stair case? No, but I have one that will climb a pipe or rope (naturally, not with wheels). Photos in process, will post here when I have time! Mark Quote
Milan Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 No, but I have one that will climb a pipe or rope (naturally, not with wheels).Photos in process, will post here when I have time! Mark We have some kind of rope climber, in set Technic Monkey with clear case Motor, I am looking forward to see your model Quote
Zerobricks Posted January 2, 2010 Author Posted January 2, 2010 (edited) Here is the finished model: Hope you guys like it :) <object width="853" height="505"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="853" height="505"></embed></object>P.S. why doesnt embedding work? Edited January 2, 2010 by Zblj Quote
Milan Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 I like it. I am always amazed when I see how it can pass such a steep climb. It looks somehow unreal... But, you are expert for these vehicles! Quote
Blakbird Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 P.S. why doesnt embedding work? There's a special function for embedding YouTube videos: Quote
Jetro Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Really nice. Pity the steering is so slow, specially compared to the speed of the 4x4. Quote
nxt Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 hello zblj , can I have the buildinginstruction for the mini offroader ? please send it to nxt2.0@web.de thank you very much nxt Quote
Steel Dragon Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Wow, this is really cool! I'm not a big Technic fan, but if this were a set I would definitely buy at least 3! I know the main wonder is the drive, but I think the colorscheme is very impressive as well. The gearwork to achieve the steering and tilting is very clever also. Great work , keep on... Gearing?

Zerobricks Posted January 24, 2010 Author Posted January 24, 2010 @nxt, there are unfortunately no building instructions, but i can add more photos, so you can build it yourself. Quote
Zerobricks Posted January 24, 2010 Author Posted January 24, 2010 The picture of front axle: And rear axle: Quote
nxt Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) thank you very much Have you a another picture of front axle ? The offroader is very cool . nxt Edited January 24, 2010 by nxt Quote
Zerobricks Posted January 24, 2010 Author Posted January 24, 2010 I am makinng an LDD file of offrader chassis. If you want it, send me a PM with your mail, and i will send it :) Quote
CP5670 Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 In reference to my earlier question, I see what you did with the rear axle now. That's a clever idea with the double bevel gears. Quote
