    Hello, I am sharing here an idea I got over a year ago: fix the paddles to the steering wheel in order to make up space and therefore make the supercars' interiors much cleaner. The idea might seem a bit complicated but thanks to the use of a mini LA, it somehow becomes much easier. Putting the LA through a mini turntable allows to transmit a translating movement while still allowing the mini turntable and therefore the steering wheel to rotate. The design I am showing uses @Didumos69 stepper. I am quite happy with how it it performs and how it looks even though it may not look like that inside a car. The process behind this took about 200 different designs and iterations and I was helped by @T Lego who will use this idea in his car...

    Hello, I am sorry for the late reply, school is keeping me extremely busy. 

    I didn't know you had to get a level 3 account on Rebrickable, the most direct way to get in touch with me is by the email you find here : https://www.youtube.com/user/CharbelLEGOcreation/about 

    @Robo-Knight I don't know anything about this, it looks like a mix of a copycat set and lego bricks. And there quite a few errors form what I have seen.

    At this point I am considering putting the instructions on some website to make it easier for everyone, as Chinese companies managed to copy it anyway. I don't know yet and I don't have experience with any of them. The file has a password and is 700mb so I don't know if it will work on Rebrickable.

    This is not really new, but it is the first application in a vehicle that I come across. @Charbel did something like this and I've seen something similar with a shock absorber.

    The general issue I have with these kind of gearboxes is this: Imagine you are driving a steady pace in 3rd gear. Now you open the throttle wide, with the idea to accelerate quickly. Torque will increase, which will cause RPM to increase, which will eventually cause the automatic gearbox to shift to 4th gear. That's what you would expect. However, when you open the throttle wide with this gearbox, the increased torque will make the gearbox shift down to 2nd gear :hmpf_bad:.

    Well I think Sariel was doing this way before me : http://sariel.pl/2009/04/2-speed-automatic-gearbox/

    Concerning this particular design, I like it but I'm a bit concerned about that rubber band, it looks to be about to break each time it reaches 4th. Maybe using a gear rack and extending the rubber linearly could help.

    AHi @Charbel I would really like to consider buying the instructions however I first was wondering If you knew how much the set costs through purchases each piece, it saves me trying to find all the pieces before knowing. 
     

    secondly, is there any way to easily tell which pieces in the piece list are those that are the body panels such that I can choose another colour more easily. 

    Hello, I am not very experienced with the price range of 1:8 supercar but I think it should be around 400-500€ max. The part list is for the white version and all of the white parts are for the exterior so to choose another color you will have to change the color of all of the white parts ( there may be a feature on rebrickable that allows this but I'm not sure).

    Also, @lego_tactics took another amazing set of pictures of his version :

    I had a wonderful time with your work.
    I am introducing your work on my blog.
    I hope many Korean friends buy your instruction and make this work a lot.

    and this is how they'll all be displayed when I put the self up, https://gyazo.com/686ea39b102226d9178644e1e2d6b23d.

    Amazing MOC that all fits so well and perfectly, blows my mind how you do it...

    (The drivers side rear engine cover side panel in white isn't actually connected as there's. a 11L and not a 9L axle there so I can't connect it till it arrives)

    Thanks you very much for sharing ! Looking good, especially with all of the supercars together.

    @Charbel I found your complete model selling on aliexpress which makes your proection method useless.

    Sorry for the bad news.

    Hey, yes it has been discussed a few pages earlier. I will know for my next builds ( if there will ever be ) that this method isn't useful.

    But I will still keep the current method for the future buyers, I am very busy and this helps limit the number of instructions sold.

    That's what I'm asking about. Two guys above have only one message here on EB, I suppose they are noname guys for you as for me. Of course we assume they are good genuine lego fans and ask for instructions for private use only, but what is your defence point in that case if I'm wrong about them for example?

    I agree that I can't be 100% sure that everyone that purchases the instructions don't have bad intentions but I try to limit error as much as possible : If I feel that something isn't perfectly right, I don't allow the person to get the instructions and I have already done that quite a few times. So even if in most cases there is no issues, I can decide not to sell the instruction to someone.

    If you are really ready (or not?) to sell instructions to every noname person, so what was the reason not to present it on rebrickable?

    Well, I haven't changed anything from what I have said, if the anyone proves that he is a real lego fan, by showing his collection, his orders, etc, I will sell him the instructions. So as it needs to check everyone, I can't really put them on rebrickable right now as I have no time this year. Maybe in the future.
