Also,I haven't started the build of the chassi, but the door hige is wayy to biggg, can we make it smaller, I mean, there is barely room for the steering wheel (which btw i almost figured it out :) )

You should address remarks on the doors to @Offroadcreat1ons I think. He is responsible for the doors. That being said, I think my suggested changes to the doors also have a smaller hinge.

I fixed that. Also the doors still collide with the body when opened. I did some work on them to make them open further, but this could still be improved. I moved the rotation forward and the side mirror backwards. I also lifted the left front fender slightly. Here is the LXF-file.

Here are a few. I left the 90 degree limiter in and the 2x2 brick, but please feel free to change that too. Even the 5x7 frame around these parts is not essential. Only the position of the shift axle should not be changed frivolously. Finally, the main drive axle could also run to the front one stud higher, without U-joints. With U-joints it would require more support than shown in the renders. Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot! I will have something ready in the next couple of days.

Ok, I like @Didumos69's door solution, so try that and see if that can fit your steering wheel better.

- fixate the panels above the front wheels

Here's an idea for securing the panels above the front wheels. Also an idea for headlights.

LXF-file here.

Neeh, don't like them myself.

[Bob De Quatre]

Just an "outsider" remark... you're not gonna let those flex tubes arround the front wheels like that? you'll make something pretty with liftarms right?

These ugly ribbed hoses will be replaced by flexaxles. But for reasons beyond our comprehension LDD doesn't allow for 19L flexaxles to be bended, hence the use of these alternative parts.

Yeah, it only allows 12L and 7L to bend. That could use a fix.

[Alex Ilea]

I figured out the steering! @Didumos69maybe you can make a stronger version?

Here is what i did: 

To explain better:  on the gear rack i replaced the pinhole with axle conector with a pinhole and 2 axles conector and to that i conected a 2x4 bent liftarm. Everything else you can see. The steering can't rotate much but it works very good! 

**Also, the 2  7L beams near the shifter a moved one stud to make room for the double 12th gear mesh.

@IA creations Would it be possible to make the steering wheel tilted?

[TechnicRCRacer]

@Didumos69 I kind of like the headlights, but the driving ring extenders don’t exist in trans clear and chroming is probably not an option. 

[Alex Ilea]

@letsbuild is that a challenge :)? 

[Alex Ilea]

Done! @Didumos69can you make your wizardry again and make a better version of the current set-up?

I updated the LXF-file with my changes to the door so it can actually open. I also left in my ideas for securing the front panels over the wheels and for the headlights, but these are mere suggestions for @Jeroen Ottens and @Aventador2004.

Just wondering, has the spoiler and mechanism been removed?

On 6/24/2018 at 7:31 AM, Didumos69 said:

Ah, that's my mistake. I found the link and will try to put it in (tomorrow, today's my daughter's birthday). Might have to remove some bodywork parts. Also part of the gearbox has moved to the back, so that could be a small issue too.

@TechnicRCRacer, before I take over your part, perhaps you could try to integrate the adjustable spoiler into the build yourself. I made as much space as possible.

@IA creations, is there still space for the door supports?

[TechnicRCRacer]

@Didumos69 Alright, I will try it. Which link is the newest LDD file?

[Didumos69]

@TechnicRCRacer, the one in the OP,  your spoiler should be in there. I also added an actuator. Tell me if I'm wrong.

Ooh, didn't tryed them with the tilted version.I'll tell you in a bit. 

[Aventador2004]

Just noticed the mods to secure the panels, those look fine, I have an idea for grilles to add to that.

[Aventador2004]

Idea for front:

So, what's next? You want me to take a look at it?

[Alex Ilea]

@Didumos69 um, please !

I'm alright for now. I have looked at some options but just need to test (haven't had much time). Thanks for your offer though!
