    Hmm, so you can use the flexible axles as leaf springs? That's neat, I'll have to try that sometime. Does it in any way deform or mess up the flexible axles as far as aesthetics? I've also always wondered what the differential was used for with an axle straight through it (at the Servomotor for steering). Thanks.

    Nice, I'd really like to see this car in a LEGO version! It's going to take ALOT of pneumatic hoses to cover this thing though :laugh: The gearing seems roughly 1:5, it seems a little too high to have that much torque with those big tires; I tried 1:9 gearing with Mindstorms Large motors and 43.2 x 22 ZR tires yet had problems with torque :hmpf_bad: Although I've never used XL motors before so it's probably fine :classic: Anyway, I hope to see you finish this!

    Okay, this has been taking longer than I thought it would, but here it is so far. I've modeled the front end, including the lights and grille. A V8 engine with the supercharger on top was added for realistic function, and it works too. I'm planning for the piston engine to work by attaching it to the drivetrain through gearing, making it high-rev. I'll upload the video ASAP. For now, enjoy some pictures :classic:

    Thanks for viewing, and please remember that this isn't going to be a 100% accurate replica. And this isn't the final result anyway :wink:

    I went retro this time around and decided to build something as big as I could without compromising the look. Chopp3Rod is the result of many hours of work, sporting both an attractive interior and exterior. The wheels are driven by independent direct drive via two Large Motors. A complex program allows the drivetrain to mimic a differential since a real differential was not used. Therefore it has an electronic differential! It sports many details, including a V12 engine, transparent lights, a Color Sensor headlight, comfy seats, clear quarter-panel windows, side exhaust, curvy wheel arches, rear tonneau cover, custom wheel hubs, and more! I am really happy with this model and how it turned out.
