Why did you put the portal hubs upside down?Oh, and is that driveshaft just powering the fake engine?

the second picture shows the axle from the side which will later be hidden from the body, the first one is from the underside and yes, the driveshaft is powering the fake V8

Ground clearance is very low....no baja

[efferman]

baja setup means = front suspension independent, rear axle is a solid one and this i will have.

the goal was not a high ground clearance, but a much lower look of the boss.

How can you get a lower look with an off road vehicle?

[efferman]

smaller tires + less suspension travel = lower look

[efferman]

wedding the rear axle with the back

[efferman]

a short 2,4ghz RC test with 9,6V. there is no steering servo in the chassis at this time

Thats realy fast Effe

[skriblez]

Damn that is a quick car!

wedding the rear axle with the back

Nice method to locate the rear axle!

[efferman]

i use this since my mercedes G

hm, i think the turning circle is good enough

[camaudio]

holy @@@@ thats fast!

[Zerobricks]

Fast and powerfull!

[efferman]

yaeh, but the accupack, which i have used, is very fast empty

[Edwin Korstanje]

But it's fun Effe

And your little girl haved fun too, and that's the most important

[efferman]

oh it is a little guy and it is the son of the neighbours

[Doc_Brown]

WOW that sure is fast.

But I have to say I'm disappointed that you are using so many non-lego parts.

You only just got your RC motors, I think there is more room for experiments with Lego parts first.

[efferman]

sure, i can actuate the lipos from lego with a rc servo to get a semi proportionayl steering, and i can use a rc servo to actuate direction reversers to power the the rc motors, but this space is not available in the boss. at an another way the baja boss works completely with lego, but then i have to run beside the car, and this is not possible with my damaged legs.

[clarkdef]

Yeah silly PF stuff, has no range and you can't slow accel or stage steer the thing. I think we should start some sort of petition to lego. You have damaged legs? Sorry to hear that man... We could send in a pic of you to lego as the poster for our demands .

But in future please do not roll the 41999

[rm8]

Effe, mates, can we reach that performance (or close to that) using standard LEGO Radio control unit with 8 (8x1,2) AA accus instead 6? (Two additional AA ouside the radio unit)

What do you think?

[efferman]

i think the RC unit with two extra accus should nearly have the same performance .it needs only much more space

[Rishab N]

That's one fast car!

[efferman]

yes, and it is finished
