    Looks really good so far, are you going to put a sticker on the headlights? Another thing, you probably need to brace the gears better, I think they will slip under stress.
  2. JJ2
    That would be possible but the Lego tolerances are very small so one mess up will make the part too lose-too tight. Another option is 3d printing, mainly using Shapeways.

    The suspension looks very stiff, I think the softer setting would be better.

    I don't know, I guess I just have never ordered more of them, they seem like a really useful piece

    It seems you have put the hubs on upside-down, the way they are now will actually decrease the handling, I would also recommend tilting the front suspension assembly to gain caster, moving back the top or moving forward the bottom wishbones will give you caster but not real caster. Tilting the whole assembly will make the suspension more reactive to bumps while having the wishbones in different places will not do that.

    +1 on that anyway cool creation, besides Rebrickable do you have any pictures of it?

    When I first saw it I thought it was real, as @aeh5040 said cool illusion of the skirt inflating, too bad Lego motors are not powerful to actually power a fan to inflate a bag.

    I think I might build this MOC, I'm mostly missing cheap liftarms but I'm missing 18 dogbones

    Don't gear down the servo unless its using gears with very little slack like a 12:24 or bevel gears only, spur gears have a lot of slack. Avoid using axles longer then 3L and if you need too use a axle extender with 2L axles to hold them together so it does not have much slack in the axles from them twisting. Use caster angles, they help a lot, and have a slight toe-in to make the wheels want to pull into the chassis and that makes the car want to drive strait.

    Yes it will, I forgot to mention but make sure to give it a caster angle, that will help a lot.

    Ok, the simple design is done IMG_3793 by JJ2Sam, on Flickr IMG_3795 by JJ2Sam, on Flickr IMG_3796 by JJ2Sam, on Flickr IMG_3794 by JJ2Sam, on Flickr

    Purism

    JJ2 replied to Erik Leppen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling

    I'm sure I'm a well known non-Purist since I extensively use non-Lego parts in my MOC's, but building with purist rules is fun also. I have actually am starting to miss just using Lego and my next few MOC's will most likely not have any 3rd party parts in them.

    Do you want suspension?
  14. JJ2
    I would recommend using a very robust custom made steering hub and using wishbones instead of the 6L links if you car making it suspended, if not I would recommend about a 30* caster angle and a kingpin incline, they will make the steering have very little bump steer with will improve performance. I might make a moc'up of one and post a picture

    Impressive performance for its size, I will be entering the contest soon, I just dont have very many Technic sets to Crawlify thought Do you think you could lower the body a bit? It just looks maybe 2-5 studs to high
  16. JJ2
    Completely impossible, friction, air resistance, and the laws of physics do not allow this. The closes thing to something that will spin forever humans have made a a perfectly balanced metal wheel on magnetic bearings inside a vacuum, but even that will stop when the magnets wear out.

    Looks like there are some 5L tan beams on the seat too
  18. JJ2
    Very cool, the suspension works very well, much better then I thought it would. Imagine what it would be like if you had it on trailing arms, it would float over everything.
  19. JJ2
    I think they are for the doors
  20. JJ2
    I really like roller coasters but I think I would pass on this one the speed it accelerates seems to much for me. jokes aside stunning creation, how many black 2L pin extenders or the things that make up the tracks are there?

    Storage and Sorting LEGO

    JJ2 replied to Hinckley's topic in General LEGO Discussion

    I mainly sort Beams by type, like frames and dogbones in one, the two different L beams in their own different containers and the regular beams by light and dark (dark = black, DBG, DG, red) (light = LBG, White, NXT white, yellow) I have all my lime color parts in their own container because I was to have easy access to them. For pins I put 2L black ones in their own spot, 2L blue axlepin and 3L friction pins share the same spot, and all the other non-friction, 3/4 pins, and so on that are for more special uses all are in 1 container. I put all of my axles in 1 box, no sorting whatsoever. For bushings I have them all in 1 box too Connectors are sorted by 6536 and 32031 type connectors All suspension parts are sorted by springs, and other suspension parts Gears are sorted by bevel and spur

    Congratulations to the winners, this was a great competition.
  23. JJ2
    try putting another 20T gear on the other side of the differential

    Holy Grail - 42055 BWE set, I want it just for the parts Dream - More durable lego electronic parts and better dive chain parts. Regrets - not buying the BWE when it was on super sale on amazon

    Very innovative, the hubless wheels are very nice, how well do the wheels turn? For a engine could you mesh another smaller wheel to the rear one and use that?
