I like building awd remote controlled cars in middle and small scale. Building big scale cars take much time and details. And the second problem of big scale - it cant drive duo to high weight.
My Middle scaled mods/mocs of 9395 and 8081 have very simple transmission with diffs, that cannot be locked. Now i am going to make new middle-scale chassis using new 2xL motors with some advanced features:
1) live axles
2) possibilty to run fast or slow with more torque
3) lockable rear diff
4) awd/ rwd switcher (not realized yet)
5) wide of axles 13-15 studs max.
In my mind middle scale is 62,20 wheels or 68,8 balloons.
Iam going to build on my chassis scale model look cars. But first I want to develop strong and effective chassis.
First I began from rear axle. As you can see diff can be locked.
Next step was making middle part with motors and gearbox. After that front axle appeared.
For now I have:
Front axle suspension kinematics needs improvements
Up p: motors work from 12 to 20 teeth
At the bottom L shaped black liftarm - is gearbox gear holder.
After previous gear (12:20 from motors) next gear can be manually selected again 12:20 or back 20:12. Low and high modes.
Low gear mode for obstacles
High gear mode for faster speed
Changing gear stage: L liftarm is dismounted, after that I move 12 and 20 gears on the axle left or right for needed gear, and then fix gear by L liftarm.
I have made some test with big (96's) and small (62 and 68) wheels.
transmission is strong with such big tires, so I hope it will be strong enough for 1 kg weight (with body) with
fsmaller tires.
Dromt wheels dpfall down because U joint axles is too short to hold such big and heavy tires, but good for 62 and 68
