    And yes, I was also doing an AMG GT R

    What a coincidence! I hope to make something different from your gt r, so could you upload some wip pictures? Not only I but everyone would love to see them.

    Doesn't that mean the steering will require a needlessly large amount of gears?

    It'll have some gears, but not too much to make big friction. I'll try first, even if it fails. And even if it fails, I'll somewhen find a solution.

    1. I chose the 8 speed gearbox as a core of this model, so I will never give up on using it.

    2.@Jeroen Ottens, Currently I have a solution not to touch the wheel but only no time to implement it. So I find no reason to redesign the whole gearbox, which is operating well. Also, I need the spaces in the back not filled because I would like to add a convertible mechanism there. Btw, do you mean that you were also building an amg gt r?

    Also, how do you plan to incorporate the steering selection switch?

FYI, I'm not using the same switch as the xerion tractor- I'm planning to use 42056's d-n-r selctor mechanism, which will be modified to be able to be changed only when the steering axle is at the original angle, which means it will be only changed when the steering wheel is at the original position.

    Thanks, @steph77. Problem solved.

    However, another problem arose. A huge one.  I just built a simple front axle prototype, and......

    Oh My God.

    the wheel touches the shifting mechanism.....:cry_sad:

    To keep this model in scale, I have to redesign the shifting mechanism.

    A lot of work to do.......:cry_sad::cry_sad::cry_sad:

    Btw, this model is going to have rear wheels steered also. (able to choose between either go the same way was the front wheels or the other way)

    I tried a shifting mechanism that I thought of myself, but it didn't work well.

    So I decided to use @Didumos69's paddle shift used in his ultimately playable 42056.

    So I made a quick replica of his mechanism, but it doesn't work.

    After one shift, the center knob isn't in the right angle. So I have to rotate it a bit for the next shift.

    What's wrong with it? Did I miss something?

    @I_Igor I've checked the engine scale:

    (From: http://www.amggtforum.com/forum/13-2016-mercedes-amg-gt-pictures/1722-amg-gt-naked-drive-train.html)

    and I thought a smaller one would fit better. (the bigger one is too long and too narrow.)

    also, as @IA creations said, it takes less space (in this case, 4studs). With the bigger one, the D-N-R selector had to go too much behind, and that looked so awful.

    A little progress yesterday... (some color-matching, some interior, d-n-r shifter, a new fake engine)

    First of all, I changed the original fake engine into a smaller one, for shortening the chassis, and finally the inteior and D-N-R shifter is in the right place:

    Some color-matching (or what should I call it?)- interior and exterior will be all in black, and any place else will be in LBG.

     And rearrangement done on the parts around the gearbox.

    Lastly the D-N-R shifter:

    Next, I'm going to work on the paddle shift, which I have an idea about.

    @Aleh I'm so sorry for mis-reading your comment. I didn't see that you said it is gt r not gtr. I didn't notice I wasn't using a correct name at all until now!

    Thanks for your correction, and I will change them asap.

     and you forgot about amg gt4 :grin:

    Yes I did! Thanks!

    BTW would you be so kind to think about build the monstrous The Black Series Editiion? :wub:

    Yes, as soon as it appears officially, I'll then consider changing it into the black series or even the roadster model.

    Thanks again for your comment :tongue:
