The Hummer

[Jim]

Thanks. Is there a hamster tag I can get, too? :)

I will look into it

Hummer's gearbox - so dead simple, it needs no instructions. The only things to remember is that you slide the entire gearbox (e.g. with a small LA) while the chassis, input and output remain fixed. You can also swap input for output, and whatever piece you put between the lower pair of gears acts only as a spacer. I would not recommend a bush as a spacer, as it will add friction when shifting the gearbox. Angle connector works fine, provided you attach it to the frame, because you don't want it rotating and hitting the gears above it.

First of all I would say it look impressivly strong, simple and due to it's sliding soul looks like works very well! But as I said we are still talking about sliding gears engagement, soon I'll come out with my huge moc where the gearbox it's a pendular switching one. It get's more piece of mind in terms of torque, specially when we use 2 or 4 XL motor on our vehicles! You know what I'm talking about!

Anyway, dude, your Hummer it's such a wonderful creation! I love it as hell! :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:

You could also probably use one of those new red 8 tooth gears as a spacer since they don't have any friction.. But the way that you did it with the #2 connector probably adds a bit more stability...

I hate hummers, just as I hate any big car, but I definitely respect the effort you put into these builds.

Well done.

This is once again a wonderful creation! Respect, wel done!!

Holy Christ! It's... it's... it's beautiful! Fantastic build!

David Caruso might like it, as well :) m.

I never thought the words Hummer and beautiful would ever go together but with this, they most certainly do.

I love it!

Can you sometimes build something that is not awesome?

I think that is impossible.

For me this moc is one of the best that you made last years.:)

Thanks. I'm not so enthusiastic about this model myself, I hope to build something much more interesting this year.

Allow slope test, I bet it would be amazing!

Remarkable work, Sariel. I look forward to seeing what you have in the future.
