mescalinum Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 My second attempt to make a model of this car (well, it is a continuation on previous work, which only reproduced the chassis, without engine and gearbox). This is my first (big) studless MOC, and my first experience with the new Technic panels Stuffing the gearbox and the engine inside has been a huge amount of work, mounting and dismounting things countless times. (maybe this process is easier in CAD?) In fact it is not complete yet, because in order to make everything fit, I had to remove central axles for hand-of-god steering, which is now temporarily non-functional. Metrics (wheelbase, track, wheel diameter) are in accurate scale, the chassis is approximately on scale (while working on the chassis, I got pissed off of measuring, scaling, and adapting, moreover, chassis had to be retouched when working on engine and gearbox). (for reference: wheelbase is 3 studs shorter than 8070) Doors and front hood do open. Driving wheel is functional. Hand of god steering is there, but temporarily non-functional. Engine is V8 (not a V10 like in the original car, because I miss two LBG cylinders, and probably won't fit). Gearbox is a 4 speed, manual. Comments welcome Quote
Meatman Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 How exactly does that transmission work? I've never seen anything like that. Quote
mescalinum Posted August 31, 2011 Author Posted August 31, 2011 could you be more specific? from the right: the 12 double bevel and the 16 tooth are part of hog steering, now not used. then there are 3 of 16 tooth gear, from the differential to the gearbox. then there is a pretty standard gearbox, I took inspiration from sariel's 4 speed compact gearbox, but make it more compact (i.e. planar) Quote
bord4kop Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Nice one! Looks good, and has nice functions -in a little space- :thumbup: Quote

allanp Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 hm, looks like a cartoon version of the viper That's what I was thinking, like a caricature of a viper. Nice! Quote
mescalinum Posted September 1, 2011 Author Posted September 1, 2011 hm, looks like a cartoon version of the viper indeed... I exagerated the lines to make it moar muscle!! it's not a coincidence the old brickshelf folder description says "a caricature of" Quote
