    I have built a heavy-duty CVT transmission, which is fully mechanically automatic. Stepless shifting throughout the gears and drives. Too high resistance affecting the output shaft= Lower gear ratio. Even higher resistance= Lowest gear ratio. If no or small amount of resistance= Stay on high ratio It is currently being built into my upcoming model of a Smart Car, featuring realistic suspension with rear wheel drive, propelled by an inline-3 LPE. Btw, scale is approx. 1:8

    What happened? :) I want to see more of your WIP
  3. MSc Shobaki
    It is due to the heavy loading capability of the truck. As you drive a fully loaded cargo bed and want to steer, you'd need a steering type that needs to take up the forces, both tangential and centrifugal. With only one steering axle the truck might lose grip on the surface and the steering would not enable smooth turning of the vehicle, as the load is not evenly distruted and push the cargo loads forwards into the steering axle. By having a second axle, the load is distributed more evenly and enable smoother steering.

    I really like that model. I had a WIP a while ago of a 2008 BMW M3, there is a post about it here on EB. The project started out with a Shelby GT which I later on rebuilt into an M3 in scale 1:8 I think. In any case, I look forward to view some more of your design :)

    I would totally buy the 8475-set :) give me an offer on how much you'd sell it for!
  6. MSc Shobaki
    Can you share the LDD-file of your model? It looks awesome :)

    I had the same problem, I looked everywhere for that black part but couldn't find it. So I filled out a missing-parts form @Lego and I'm hoping to get it
  8. MSc Shobaki
    I think it's because some parts are not yet official online @ Lego, such as tubes, buckets, outrigger parts etc. It even says that the part list of 2506 pcs covers only 89% out of the total of the sets 2900-ish pcs

    I think it has got to do with the movement of the outriggers. Too little friction= Slacky, easy unwanted movement. Like jumping out when held at an angle. Too much= Tough, yet reliable. Sometimes even too much to maneuver

    Hey, I'm picking up mine at Webhallen today as well! The one in Solna Business park? I'm really forward to it :)

    I don't get why you are complaining about the new outriggers. You said it yourself, the truck is 17 studs wide (or 19), doesn't matter. How many studs do you want the outriggers to extend? Simple... Lets say 10 studs, that would require minimum of 11 studs wide bracing to hold it up. Wanna go lower? Lets say 8 studs, sort of half the trucks width, minimum of 9 studs of bracing is needed for it to be linear. Still gonna require more than half the trucks width. I think the new parts are good and really look forward to use them. Just imagine how easy this part could be used in forest machines, fire trucks etc. Cheer up guys!

    I would change the black pin connector (double hole perpendicular) and the gray pin connector with axle, for two 3x3 L-shaped liftarms. As far as I can see, you're using the bottom pin hole for an axle, the one on top of it for a pin, and up-right hole to connect the shock absorber with a pin. Simply switch to two L-liftarms and the result should be stiffer.

    CVT-gearbox works like a charm. Stepless shifting in order to overcome the resistant torque in the output shaft. And it works very smoothly! Maybe I'll share an .lxf-file if you want it. No promises though :)
  14. MSc Shobaki
    Thx dude, but you can trust me ;) my rear suspension is very stiff and nice with the setup I have. Check this: Rear swing-arm suspension, rear wheel drive with 20:28 geardown (final ratio). Rear anti-roll bar Shock absorbers with damper bodies (big pneumatic cylinders with hard spring inserts from 9.5L shock absorbers) As for universal joints for the drive shaft (from CVT-gearbox to rear axle) I'm using pulley wheels combined with pins for extra stiffness

    Sweet! My car project was a little on ice... Last week, finally, I got my order in the mailbox! So now I can carry on. Both the front and rear axle are done and work properly. Today, then plan is to test the CVT-box and ensure that it delivers high amount of torque
  16. MSc Shobaki
    At www.webhallen.se 42043 for €192,5. Just pre-ordered two sets
  17. MSc Shobaki
    Update: LPE in place under the hood, front and rear axle almost done. Next step: try to fit the CVT-tranny and driveline.

    They are masked in order not to sandblast the glass ;)
  19. MSc Shobaki
    Yeah, that's true. Some people can really give you a hard time. Just got in touch with the seller and he said that he will send the parts today... Sigh, another week of waiting. Anyway, I've recieved one order, though it is missing some parts. So my project is still on hold.
  20. MSc Shobaki
    The problem is that this guy was just being lazy I think. My order consists of roughly 300 parts, and if you're effective then you can pick, pack and post the parts within an hour... Pisses me off.. Well that's good news!! Still waiting with excitement to see your project up and running
  21. MSc Shobaki
    Just mailed BL-store, pissed off. I placed the order and paid for it 3 weeks ago and the guy still hasn't sent the package... It is so frustrating as I really need what is in the box in order to continue my build
  22. MSc Shobaki
    Yeah, he's a nice and very helpful dude. Regarding tire shops, I have no idea. Google :D Rear suspension has been rebuilt, pics coming soon. The result is much stiffer and better now! Let's put that aside and have a look at the rear part of the car
  23. MSc Shobaki
    Thats true, I agree. Is your friend Alex (Nicjasno)? Have you considered any 3rd party tires that fit the 8448 rims?
  24. MSc Shobaki
    The only idea I have of a V8-LPE that would fit in scale with the 8448 wheels would be a small pneumatic cylinder V8-LPE. It would fit the scale properly but unfortunately the power would not be sufficient to propel the car due to the weight. Plus it would be very expensive :/ but if you have eight of those cylinders, go for it!! It would be awesome to see! The only ideas I have for a scale 1:8 or 1:7 with a proper LPE clone of an engine that would replicate real life is the following: Big cylinder engines: Inline 3 (transversal mounted) Inline 4 (both transversal and longitudinal mounted) Small cylinder engines: Inline 4 (both options) V4 (both options, though the second uncommon) Inline 6 (longitudinal) V6 and V8 Any feedback? ;)

    Igor, what do you think? Any ideas on the work so far @flickr?
