Is your Studio up-to-date? I works here (version 2.23.12), in fact I just have to key in "8477" to see the rim appear (full file name: 84772pb01)

Hi @Divitis
I haven't checked again my pack, but anyway, both the Vespa wheel rim and its tire are integrated to Studio now. Look for part numbers 84772 and 80542.

I'll leave the file author as philo since he did the hard work of making the model (I don't have anywhere near that much parience!) so as long as its OK with philo, Ill share the LDR file.
Better late answer than never ;) Feel free to share it or any similar work I did!

@gyenesvi
It was a bit longer than expected, but I updated my Technic 2023 H2 parts pack for Studio to include missing parts from the 42160 Audi set as well as the Mars rover wheel. As usual, the pack is available here: https://philohome.com/studio/packs.htm

@gyenesvi indeed I overlooked these parts! Will take a bit of time, but I'll do them (if nobody beats me on the finish line😁). Thanks for the heads up! Tell me if you spot other missing recent Technic parts...

The diagonals don't have an integer length indeed. But the holes are on grid...

Yes, on grid. Using some perspective corrections I come up with this:

Yes it's a pity. I LOVE my prototypes!

Parts need to be created first, and tracks are a hell to model ;)

No problem for the motors themselves, the limitation comes from the components inside the hub (the LB1836M motor driver is specified with a 9V maximum voltage, 10.5 absolute maximum rating). Buwizz uses a different chip (the one used in PF V2 receivers).

This is far above specifications of Powered Up hub components...

I also reviewed EnBo battery pack, as you guess in a more abstract way ;) This page compares 4 solutions:
- Phondly EnBo rechargeable pack
- Plain alkaline cells
- NiMH rechargeable cells
- My own LiPo home made
Spoiler: EnBo is awesome, alkaline is the worse...

I don't have a definitive answer as it depends on so many parameters... I have the feeling that the 50% motor load will give the best compromise between acceleration to reach speed and top speed, but not necessarily the best top speed!
-
Thanks @shroomzofdoom! The fact that LEGO supports the id of the small motor on Technic and RI hubs proves that they consider it to be compatible. Of course the may have capped the duty cycle to limit effective voltage on the motor. Anyway, DC motors are very rugged and the real limitation would be power dissipation in the motor. But we won't ask the puny small motor to make the work of an XL one ;)

Medium motor:
Small motor:
The big question with the small motor is voltage... according to specs its max voltage is 6V. If we take that strictly it is not compatible with Technic hub. Note that Pybricks has a special setting to limit voltage for motor output. Unfortunately I have neither the hub, nor the motor to check deeper.

Very nice! The great thing with GBC is the possibility to repurpose oddball parts to functional uses!

The right location on Windows is C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Local\Stud.io\CustomParts\parts
If CustomParts doesn't exist in Stud.io folder you need to create it (as well as the parts subfolder)
-
@captainmib I think you won't have long to wait: all files are in Studio library, but the part is not listed. Add 80286.dat (https://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?s=80286) to your CustomParts\parts folder, and you'll be able to use the part (it will appear in your Custom Parts palette)

Looks like I forgot this one... I'll update my Technic parts pack tomorrow to add it. See https://www.philohome.com/studio/packs.htm

I looked on @Philo's page (https://philohome.com/studio/packs.htm) and didn't find it. It's of course not in the official Studio release yet. Thanks!
I made the part, and it's available on LDraw parts tracker (https://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/67498-f1.dat) but I've not yet created a parts pack. I was waiting for the blue spring shock absorber, not yet modeled.

10 minutes ago, m2fel said:@Phondly Hey, the design is neat. My lesson learned is to make it possible to disconnect the battery from the circuit. The step down converter in my lipo battery box always burned some energy (don't ask me why) and thus managed to deep discharge and kill the lipo while it was not used for some time : (
Not sure if it applies to your setup
Yes, that's one of the reason why I didn't try to follow the route of output converter (the other beeing simplicity!!!)

Gotcha! The old painful masking of decorated parts! Uncheck "Decorated parts on/off" near the search field.
