[WIP] C4 Corvette
timslegos replied to timslegos's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Sorry for the double post but I have built one of Pitterx's Gearboxes. It is a 3 + R gearbox that is relatively small yet strong. Here you can see the rough placement. Now I need a sequential control for the gearbox. The positions of the gearbox are shown below: -------front of car------- first third reverse second Please leave any ideas below! tim -

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately that gearbox doesnt have a reverse so it is unusable. tim -

I guess a linear/sequential gearbox would be the most effective in this situation, are there any other options? tim -
[WIP] C4 Corvette
timslegos replied to timslegos's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I have worked some more on the transmission placement as you can see below. Now I am searching for a 4 speed gearbox with reverse that can be easily remote controlled. My search has proved fruitless so far, so please leave any suggestions below. Here you can see the space i am working with (between the two extended axles). tim -

Okay thank you for the tip about the length. Ball joints is one possibility, though it would be different than the suspension in the real car. tim -

@Alasdair - Those might work, although the top part might hit on the bodywork/frame. @VK-318 - Unfortunately I think those pieces would fall apart under load. @Technyk32231 - 4L maximized the suspension travel and is also closer to the length of the link in real life. tim -

[WIP] C4 Corvette
timslegos replied to timslegos's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I have more progress on the back axle! It seems as soon as I settle for one idea I think of another that is better! I will at least attempt to move on to the front axles. I do have one problem, there are no 4L beams with open holes at the ends. For now I am using 5L beams that over hang the end. If you have any ideas to solve this please let me know below! tim -

More progress on the frame. Since I changed wheels I have been reworking the rear axles yet again. Is it okay that they are not exactly identical to the real thing? tim -
[WIP] C4 Corvette
timslegos replied to timslegos's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thank you for all of the kind comments! I realized that my scale was off (new scale is 1/9) so I have changed what wheels I am using and also gave the chassis a massive overhaul. I am thinking a composite studdless and studded frame will give enough support. As always, let me know what you think below! tim -

[WIP] C4 Corvette
timslegos replied to timslegos's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I will once I get it out of the garage (in for the winter). This will definitely be a long project, which is why I posted here for the help. The only concern I have is that the buggy motor will stop and the power of the m motor will cause the buggy motor to spin the opposite way, making the differential useless. the workaround could be using a lockable diff like you said. tim -

I was really hoping to see that you would model the original suspension, glad to see that you did! I would love instructions for just the gearbox, are they available? tim- 81 replies
