Well, can we do without a differential?

It is highly recommended, but keep in mind the differential doesn't have to be in between the wheels...

Wait, got an idea ?!

[mocbuild101]

Cool project, and I wish I could join in, but I'm already doing too many other things...

I will follow the progress though, and add my thoughts, as I do want to contribute at least a little bit...

 

One question - has anyone decided what supercar in particular (if any) this is going to be based on? - it would be much easier if everyone was building the same thing...

[TechnicRCRacer]

@mocbuild101Does it even have to be based on a real-life car? Whenever I build something, I just go with the flow and see what comes out. If the model is done in stages, everything should work out.

Probably not...

@Aventador2004, maybe this helps:

@Aventador2004, I think the problem is the 11x5 frames that collide with the diff.

What I've been up to :) 

The stand is just for design. I still need to improove some things.

Looks clean!

 

 

So, in 23 wide and Suspension it's not possible to build the Diff in the middle. I got 2 powertrains now, shall I build in the diff, or does the "Frame-Guy" @Didumos69 build the diff in.

I'll try, if i get a nice solution i'll make it, if not then i will let you do it. :D

Think that's up to you.

No. There is some space. The piece that Paul used I do not own, so I used a different one. I am going to use that piece through ldd.

Probably not, but I think there needs to be some kind of design structure - i.e, something a bit more specific than just "a supercar".

For instance, is the engine going to be in the front or rear?

Maybe reading what I had written before would be helpful:

Plan:

We build an all-wheel-drive, mid-engined supercar using these wheels. The total width of the car will be 23 studs, length as needed. It would feature a four-speed gearbox, butterfly-wing doors, and pop-up headlights.

Wow! Great work!

How about naming this project?

How about the EB Multicontinental X?

EB- Eurobricks

Multicontinental- self-explanatory

X- ten members working on the project

Too long. How about LB-X18

I'd say we should call this car the ''Helix V8''. Just sounds cool

I like it :)

Also when the middle section is done, I could build that.

Well, nobody said something bout the axle so im just gonna ask if its okay?

The spring IRL is longer than in the file, so it would need to be mounted higher. Other than that it looks fine, based off the LDD file.

Oh, sorry. It's great, but the spring is 6.5 and is in LDD.

[Alex Ilea]

@KikoTubeyou need to add thin 5L liftarms at the end holes of the A arms, else then compressed, the bottom balljoint will pop out the wheel hub

That's what I wanted to say too.

Ye, I knew about that, its a replica of a suspended spring, so i can work on the lxf without angled a arms. But I will mount them higher, since its a supercar, and we want it to be pretty flat i believe. 

Thanks for the critism

Oops, don't know how I missed that... (though having to read 4 pages probably had something to do with it)

@KikoTube that front axle looks great, I think the different options for mounting the suspension will be useful for when the final model is put together, and it probably would be a good idea to add it to the rear axle too.

That does sound cool...
