    Looks just like the real thing!

    Looks very nice Love the removable body, I still have to make a car with that feature.

    Any 1.55" scale tires should work well. From there, it depends on which tread pattern you like most.

    Would be very cool to make this into a small dongle that you could plug into your phone. Then write an app for it and bam, you have a Kickstarter-worthy project!

    Wow! Looks amazing, especially considering its size

    Is it just me, or is that a 9L half beam? EDIT: My eyes are getting old...it's not.

    You're making short work of this, keep it up!

    [WIP] UEV

    VKTechnic replied to VKTechnic's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling

    Suspension and drivetrain are complete, wheels are mounted, motors are connected, and... UEV - WIP 3 by VKTechnic, on Flickr ...there's clicking everywhere. These longitudinal diffs seem to be creating more problems than they're solving, so I might just ditch the LSDs and locking mechanisms and make this model special in some other way.

    But now, gearboxes are gonna get bigger...
  10. VKTechnic
    Love all the little details
  11. VKTechnic
    Good start
  12. VKTechnic
    Ah, okay. It seemed to me that the XL motor was there to simulate the final ride height.

    Looking good Although that caster angle on the front axle will make handling a bit weird
  14. VKTechnic
    I think the main thing you can do to improve snow traction is get some proper tires (read: third party). LEGO tires behave about as well as plastic tires on snow

    [WIP] UEV

    VKTechnic replied to VKTechnic's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling

    Finally an update! UEV - WIP 2 by VKTechnic, on Flickr Turns out the first design was 4 studs too narrow, so I've spent the last few days building new axles. Features are still the same: Independent suspension, limited slip diffs, diff locks, different length control arms, and caster angle on the front axle. Oh, and no one has the right name yet. Keep guessing!

    I love the color scheme on this! Good work overall!

    This is why I don't enter competitions Awesome model, can't tell that it's a C-model just looking at the photo
  18. VKTechnic
    That's quite the project you have there!

    Nope Even if it's there, it's not intentional.

    Sounds like you're part of TLG's mini-NSA.
  21. VKTechnic
    We'd also have people like Blakbird who own everything

    Saw the video yesterday, love all the functions Also love how smoothly the pneumatics and PF functions mix together.

    Gear ratios are: 1st: 2.5:1 2nd: 1.5625:1 3rd: 1:1 R: 4.167:1 The gear position is also pretty interesting: 3 2 | -- | 1 R
  24. VKTechnic
    Thanks So what are your plans for this gearbox? Do you have a model planned that this will be used in, or is it just a concept?
  25. VKTechnic
    The rear does look much better now Two things though: The 5L thin liftarms in the back are technically a forced connection (the geometry is off by 0.4 studs). Thus, I can't model that part in LDD What are the black #1 connectors attached with? I'm assuming you're using 3L axles with studs... Finished updating what I could. Missing two 1.5L pins that secure the (forced) 5L thin liftarms. I also updated the link for the LDD file to just be the folder where the LDD file is, hopefully that helps. Here's the new link.
