yes btw, have asked a a rapid prototype companyhow much the parts would cost in white and silver one set in white (hub, wheelholder and rim) 82,75 € and the same in silver 97,62 € pretty expensive i think

another part which is not really neccessary, but i think it makes some things more stable. what do you think is the main use of it?

Nijcasno, you know that the small cv joint has a half stud a full round axle so you would have a half stud offset to the original holes? Andycw, with the small cvjoint and one towball in the lower original hole and the upper new hole, the pivot line should end under the tire.

Why not make an additional hole to make this hub optimal for steering, and non steering when make a complete new part? This is not longer a turntable.

More gears wouldnt have an advantage because the actual setup is really rocksolid. A bigger gearratio would make sense, but i am not sure if i can fit this in a unimog sized rim.

Yes, this design is probably not possible in a mold. I have tried a 3 planet gear setup, but this let raise the friction so i have skiped this. Maybe a second piece as adaptor between 4 and three holes could solve this problem. But i think in a 3d printer this model should be possible. Or i make a different hub with a five stud diameter multi hole setup and a fitting rim similar to reallife truck rims. Its worth to try

maybe my willys axles are something for you http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=458760

like my actual planetary rims i have to place some liftarms at the outside to prevent the gears for falling off

yes, because the 4 to 1 reduction is enough and other combinations would increase the overall size. and the third reason, bigger gears i have not made yet

here are both parts not assembled Screenshot 2014-01-25 16.57.46 von efferman auf Flickr

me too Screenshot 2014-01-25 16.32.32 von efferman auf Flickr your thoughts about it? where is the next 3d printer?

iam new to inventor 2011 and iam trying to design some new parts for lego. first is a planetary hub which is able to use with standard lego rims. the vehicle side is made now. in opposite to the turntablebase it has a extra hole for steering axles. Screenshot 2014-01-25 12.46.11 von efferman auf Flickr what do you think the wheel side should can do? should it have a crossaxle or pin connectors for 3/6 hole rims? if you see errors on the part, i have only some hours with inventor till now.

what is realistic for you? the look or the functions?

and here is the full file 1787 parts including 153 parts for the fake power function L bigscalewheelloader von efferman auf Flickr

and my version from post two and a different steering method http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=401452

https://www.dropbox.com/s/pmxf4dye6x1atum/bigscalewheelloaderchassis.lxf Look at this ldd file, there is a good working articulated steering mechanism in a pretty big vehicle

the delta dozer of course, pickups are boring. they can only drive and steer.

aah, a new thing to make it RC

here is the ldd file for the chassis. some things are optimized to the video version. actual part count, (included the three Fake Motors) is 1055 parts bigscalewheelloaderchassis von efferman auf Flickr the bucket is available from bruder Toys germany english

why not simply use the adaptor part to use 3/6hole rims with the 8880 steering part?

i think he had hit the F instead of the G i have made a little update at the bucket arm, to get a bit more height 100_0872 von efferman auf Flickr

thanks guys ah ok milan yes dhc6twinotter, there is a planetary gear in the wheels. the gear ratio in it is 4:1 doc brown, this is not sure, beside of the steering m,echanism i have the same motor setup which was mentioned in the 2014 thread

thanks for your opinion. does "not lined up" means that the tires are not covered from the fenders?btw, a small digging video

To tilt it with a lever? I dont think that tey will use this oldschool method. A servo for the steering makes more sense. Even when two mini LA will do it better.
