  1. Hydorpneumatic suspension would be impossible to do with current lego parts, because it requires a compressible gas and a fluid, it could work with pneumatics, but it would loose pressure over time, and take up too much space. It would be simpler to replicate that with torsion bars or springs.
  2. If you want plastistruct makes sheets of transparent acrylic in different thicknesses, the acrylic could easily be cut to proper shape, and it could be bonded to lego pieces with a modeling cement.
  3. I feel like there was a lot of entries at the beginning, but quite a few people lost interest in their models, there could have been even more entries that what will be in the contest. I hope to see more great entries.
  4. What are you planning to build ? if you support the axle and keep axles in short lengths, it should work, as I have never had XLs directly twist axles, but I have had them bend 5.5 axles on sprockets.
  5. the option of using 2 long axles will be stronger, as they are less likely to torsionally twist because of a shorter length axles. maybe 3 long axles may work better, as it will require less connectors and lacks the notches as mentioned above.
  6. great video, it seems to cover the basics of suspension building, even though nearly every vehicle uses a different type ( though most vehicles post WWII use torsion bars) . The dual torsion bar setup is interesting, but I think panthers used singular full hull length torsion bars, cool concept though, I wonder if it is possible to make it even more compact.
  7. That's much better, good luck, you have 9 days left .
  8. You may want to use something else besides the universal joints for transferring power to the front wheels, it will break or come apart.
  9. I figured out I can hide the Lsynth constraints just like normal bricks in Bricksmith
  10. I am using it on Mac... How can I make them invisible ? This is one of my first times using Lsynth
  11. I am working on a model in Bricksmith, and I have attempted using Lsynth. Though I am uncertain how to make the treads fit around the 6 wide inverted radar dishes, and the 4x4 round plate on the rear idler, as there isn't a constraint for it. Is this just not possible, or will I have to place each tread individually ? Lego Jagdpanzer 38(T) Hetzer (RC) by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr
  12. You still need to add the L motor to the gear calculator, for converting torque.
  13. They can varry because of different production batches and differences in power source.
  14. Most people are referring to the lego Lipo battery.
  15. It won't have a subtractor, but there will be 2 xls driving it, 1 L motor spinning a flail, and 1 m motor for a fake engine.( this would be the maximum number of motors running at once.)
  16. I am planning to get a LIpo battery, as most of my models tend to use up lots of AA batteries. I wonder what the maximum number of recommended motors it can power.( I am planning to power 2 xls, 1 servo, 1 L, 1 M) Will the Lipo battery work for this application?
  17. It seems with this diff that it is prone to separating, and the axles are weakly supported.
  18. nice progress, may I suggest making the dozer blade taller by a couple studs, and lower the attachment points of the side lift arms, they appear to be almost on the ground.
  19. Maybe build a small LPE or two for a future tank...
  20. Haha, that evil hamster :laugh: , looking forwards to see progress.
  21. interesting suspension setup, Looking forwards to WIP photos.
