  1. Couldn't you just remove the wheel and poke an axle through the other side?
  2. Maybe it would be stronger if you built steering hubs similar to how nico71 did here
  3. Hmm you really shouldn't need to make it stiffer... what I do is just change the length of the springs

    I'm not saying I don't believe you, I'm saying that it does not make sense theoretically. The only way I can think of for that to work like that is if something is weird with one side of the drive.
  5. Those steering axles will be strong enough, I should know. I designed pretty much the exact same axle over two years ago. Also if you're using leaf springs, it would be more realistic if you use long plates fixed to the axle. The plates work surprisingly well as springs, LPEPower uses them for springs a lot.

    Still makes no sense. As letsbuild said, the torque to each wheel becomes (x+x)/2. If you have the same overall input torque and same gear ratio, hard coupling the motors will not affect performance
  7. I had made a macpherson strut a while ago that used a 135 degree angled coupler (idk what else to call it, but an axle goes in each side and then there's a hole in the middle), then put an axle in the top with a spring on it. A sliding axle is much stronger than the lego shock absorber rod

    That makes no sense to me. Coupling the two motors together shouldn't affect overall output, since they are driving two independent shafts. You're still driving both shafts with two motors total, so each wheel should still get one l-motor worth of torque.
  9. I would agree that 62.4s would look better on this, but if you're set on using those wheels then I would suggest finding the black 6-hole rim for those tires. Those would look a lot better
  10. That black axle isn't new. It's actually just an old piece they haven't made in a while
  11. I honestly did not think that the "old" one had that much slack. Also the last time I was on this forum, the 42000 hubs were basically new
  12. Wow, the stuff I've missed in the past year.... i didnt even know they made long pneumatic cylinders...
  13. I think this would be great in a style like the Local Motors Rally Fighter...

    I think that may simply be because of the massive load on those axles.
  15. However, if those diagonal braces bend then they aren't doing much.
  16. It is perfectly correct to call this a constant-velocity joint, since it does provide constant velocity.

    [MOC] Mini Roadster

    I love tiny models! Although my favorite scale for models is from the 43.2? (vw bus wheels) to 62.4 wheels, I find this tiny roadster to be really cool. The more compact a model is while retaining functionality, the better it is , IMO
  18. ...Then I'm up for a reverse-engineering challenge
  19. Yes, that would probably work
  20. What i'm saying is that each stage would get its own power. G=Geneva mechanism ----- = driveshaft oo = gearbox G G G 1:4oo 1:2oo 1:1oo -------------------------------------- Not sure if my "diagram" makes sense, but each stage has its own gearbox so that each stage turns half the speed as the previous.
  21. A solution that I find sometimes works is to pull apart the grey shock absorber, put a half-bush on the rod, and reassemble the shock absorber with the spring
  22. Nice reviews, i realized now that i hadnt even seen the 2015 reviews yet... xD
  23. clearly i was mistaken, i should have thought that through. Maybe it is something of a geneva mechanism, but with each bit having its own geneva mechanism? in that case the 1:2 gearing could work, possibly.
  24. I love this, the movement is incredibly accurate. Except i had to look at the title a couple times after mistaking it for "syphilus" :P
  25. Hello efferman, I have a part request Our VEX robotics team has had some success this year (look up "1727b" on youtube), and I am trying to make a lego version of our robot. Could you design some kind of ratchet gear, that is about 3 studs in diameter?
