3+R gearbox v2
cgg199 replied to piterx's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
You'll never guess what! I've modified this gearbox, and it fits in the space that I wanted it. It's slightly less accurate, but the shifter is more compact because the arm with the blue cross axles isn't there. I used worms gears instead, and the arm doesn't leave the area of the gearbox. -
Release Date Question for Servo, L-Motor & V2 IR

Let's see you run a business of this size and try to make every deadline. It's difficult. -
3+R gearbox v2

And they have to a certain way around if I'm not mistaken, to reduce friction further. -
3+R gearbox v2
cgg199 replied to piterx's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Great gearbox, and I'll definitely be using a modified version for myself. Could you show a picture with all the shifting mechanism hidden so I can see the gears clearly? -
My Technic Challenge | Not for the faint hearted
cgg199 replied to cgg199's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
@Lipko - I'm not into the geometry details, and all that, but some features are a must for me. @Piterx - Cheers mate! I've got some plans (proper ones now) for a hybrid of yours and Sheepo's gearbox. I'm sticking to 3+R so I'll be using your gear setup. Thanks again everyone! -
My Technic Challenge | Not for the faint hearted
cgg199 replied to cgg199's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I'll fill everyone in on where I am. I wanted to create a Ford F150, but after many different axle designs, soon gave up. I then decided to build my own super car, which is currently being designed. The idea was to create something amazing, with many different features, most unecesary but there for realism. I'm still trying to find a way around it, but my options are running out. All along, I wanted something that could be enjoyed with and without PF to the same extent. This would include a working gearstick, working pedals, so when they are pressed, the said action does it's job (obviously not the accelerator). The PF system would be able to be implemented into the car very easily once the model would already be built, so it would be easy to convert it either way. The annoying thing is, I have each section planned out in my head (except the gearbox but now with the aid of Sheepo's design it should be coming along) but when putting it onto LDD it just isn't coming out quite as I wanted. Each mechanism has such a simple design, but it is really starting to annoy me now, that this gearbox is causing all this hassle. There's the car really, nothing that has never been done before, but some big ideas all the same. -

That's a really nice gearbox Jon and with some modification it could be brilliant. I' am going to stick with a manual though. -

cgg199 replied to cgg199's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks for all the help. Yes, realism is what I'm going for. It doesn't need brakes, but it's got them. It doesn't need working pedals, but it'll have them. My plan for now is to just have a simple manual gearbox, and maybe branch out at some point. Using a 4 speed sequential could be useful too. -

There must be away, of gearing the XL motors up, to reduce torque, for the purposes of the gearbox. Then, gear them down again. I don't know to what extent, but does anyone think that would work? -

cgg199 replied to cgg199's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
It's been done. Sheepo has done it, so how come his gears don't get stripped? -

A very nice technic set, with a great review! I'll look forward to the release of this. -
Drag Race Car
cgg199 replied to blaz62's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Couldn't you use both together to combat that problem. That should work with it being a differential gearbox. -
Drag Race Car
cgg199 replied to blaz62's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Couldn't you use a differential gearbox with one M motor and one XL motor? You'd have torque and power when you want them that way. -

I take it you mean they are. They aren't available for individual sale, but they are apparent in the Crawler set(s) -

Very nice car. I've always liked the Ken Block cars, so well done! -
Lego PF Accelerator Module
cgg199 posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I'm in the process of building a MOC car, which I want to have as many features as possible. I know that Sheepo has made a way of his Supercar 2011 accelerating more like a real car. I would also like to do this, and have half of an idea how to. Using the rechargeable battery box, and the cars drive motors, it would be possible to gradually change the settings of the power controller, to slower deliver more power to the motors. The only two problems I have are; It would need a way of stopping when maximum power was reached, otherwise parts would get damaged. The other is returning to 0 power once the accelerator is not being pressed. Does anyone have a solution? -
Lego PF Accelerator Module
cgg199 replied to cgg199's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
What I mean is, the battery boxes power adjuster would be controlled by the same motor that drives the car, but would be geared down. Then, to stop it from damaging the battery box, I would have a 24 tooth clutch gear in between the motor and the battery box. Now that all of that has been solved, I just need to think of a way to return the power adjuster back to zero. -
Lego PF Accelerator Module

That wouldn't really be an option, but thanks anyway. -
Lego PF Accelerator Module
cgg199 replied to cgg199's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks for the help, I'll take all of that on board. Now the only problem is returning it to the neutral position when no power is being given. -
Lego PF Accelerator Module
cgg199 replied to cgg199's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I'm having that too, but in a normal car, you don't press the accelerator and suddenly go the top speed in that gear. I want the car to start off slowly, and accelerate up to the speed. -
Interesting build - Motorcycle with quad rotors
cgg199 replied to JopieK's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I saw that quite a while ago. It's a very odd sort of vehicle/bike/thing. If only it was made 100% of Lego. It is great though -
Ginaf 8x8 trial truck
cgg199 replied to turbostefan's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Looks great and has some good offroad capability. Maybe you could add some gear reduction to the steering so you have more control. -
Sheepo featured in German car magazine
cgg199 replied to lazylegoist's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
It's great to see him get this sort of credit that he deserves. Well done Sheepo! These models have inspired me to do things with Lego, that I wouldn't have thought possible previously. His influence shows in the model I'm designing at the moment.
