Maybe Lipko meant rims with more realistic offset.

You're right Lipko. I don't understand TLG now. Why new parts if they are not fully used? I can't wait for proper mods with both axles steered and maybe PF added.

Sure, that's one of the reasons why Lego is great toy, it leaves the room for mods. But why making new parts and not using their full potential? It's beyond my understanding.

Is it a joke? New hubs, new wheels and max steering angle is worse than in a driven and steered axle using old hubs and wheels?

Nice progress. I don't know if there are a lot of gears. Guys, just look at Sheepo's Veyron and Porsche. They have similiarly complex gearbox and added PF. Just brace it well and it will be awesome model!

Sure thing, I was just expressing my own opinion :) How big is your gearbox in studs? I'm curious about possible motorisation. You shift gears by moving lever forward and backward, right? Combining it with gear rack and clutch gear with PF motor would do the job?

Aston Martin Vanquish in orange looks supercool for me. Just look at this photo: http://cdn.johnywheels.com/2016/04/08/astonmartinvanquishorange-l-18937ada9e34f574.jpg This car in this color is, in my opinion, the most beautiful coupe in the world.

I love them! Too bad that it's not possible to have odd numbered spokes, like 7 spokes, which is very popular design. Any ideas for Alfa Romeo Giulia style rims http://m.autokult.pl/alfa-romeo-giulia-7-9f93f158fb6a,910,500,0,0.jpg ?

Will you replicate multilink rear suspension? Also how will the front grille be made? With those parts: http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=2412b&idColor=11#T=C&C=11 ? Too bad that Porsche wheels don't have center axle hole. I hope it won't be your final supercar. I keep my fingers crossed for future inspiration!

Do you plan to add 5L liftarms on the two center soft axles on the bonnet to make it more 'closed'? Also will the doors open slightly upwards?

Having PF at that scale isn't a problem - look at Sheepo supercars. I know that model will be restricted by the size of the gearbox, but probably removing it and adding PF instead should do the trick. Also changing fake engine to custom, smaller one will give the place for steering motor. I love Aston design and I'd liketo have an RC one.

Isn't the fake engine still too big for that scale? I think custom made V12 would fit it better. How big is the gearbox? Will it be possible to add PF? I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Maybe this will help: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=109214

If you have installed Servo in the place of M motor and left the gearing as they are now with M motor, then it barely could move the wheels because of the gearing. Servo can turn left or right 45 degrees only, so 12 tooth gear barely turned the 36 tooth gear. I prefer using M motor for steering because it is more precise and I don't like the return to center feature.

Thanks Didumos69 for mentioning my topic. I really recommend that solution. I placed two shock absorbers on the lower wishbone and it doesn't disconnect from the hub. Good luck with the building LXF! Keep us updated!

Yesterday I started building with bricks. I needed to make some minor changes in steering system, because I didn't like how it worked with servo and I placed different setup with M motor. Front axle works like a charm. I placed two shock absorbers, yellow and gray one, and it is perfect, everything is solid. Chassis is sturdy. Gearbox works nicely. Next week I'm going to add interior and start bodywork. Then I'll post some pictures.

This is how it looks now: http://goo.gl/QAs9a9 I haven't decided which wheel rims I'll use. I like all of them. I added battery box to see how it looks. I placed it above the rear axle to make sure that it will hold the weight. I redid the gear placement at the L motors output to fit the gearbox. I added accelerator pedal engaging L motors. I still have to place gear changing feature. More to come!

Thank you for your help, that is very kind! I redid the design with your solution. It will add much more strength and stability for sure. I added 2 speed gearbox, it was designed by Sariel for his F1. Later I will try to figure out how to add motor for gear changing. Redesigned model: http://goo.gl/kpjYUX

Sure, here you are: http://goo.gl/VQoPFA . I will place the gearbox now. Any suggestions are most welcome!

Thank you very much! I was trying to get the pivot point inside the rim and Nicjasno's video about multilink suspension helped me a lot. Scrub radius should be minimal too. I have connected front axle module with chassis and rear axle. I decided to give up 4 speed gearbox and build 2 speed one with M motor and linear actuator for gear changing. If not today, I'll try to start the build tomorrow. Of course I'll post photos and LDD files if I change anything while assembling it. The car will be red, as I have many Technic pieces in this colour. I haven't decided yet if I will replicate real car. It'd be great to build Alfa Romeo Giulia or Jaguar XF or even BMW 5. Tomek

I added 5th cylinder too and placed top links in their places. Also I have added servo motor with manually sliding gear to disengage it. I still cannot connect steering linkage with wheel hubs. I think it can be done easily in reality, but due to all the angles it's difficult in LDD. I'm going to start building it next week. Keep fingers crossed!

I have already reduced height of the engine by 1 stud. It looks much better now. I will post pics later. As for lower arm and ball joint. I have built it once and it never came apart. I'm still thinking about placing top links correctly though.

Thanks for your reply. How can I reduce bump steer? I'm trying to lower the engine by 1 stud. What smaller crankshaft are you talking about? The one from regular Lego engines? What do you think about kingpin inclination? I'm also concerned about only one shock absorber per half axle at the front, but I hope it will hold the weight in reality.

Hello guys, I started working on a new project. It will be 1:10 sedan with power functions (two L motors and one M motor). As I don't have an access to bricks at the moment, I'm designing it in LDD. My goals: - rear multilink axle by Sheepo - gearbox - not necessary, but it'd be nice to have it - front axle - semi double wishbone with proper angles - clutches, so the motors can be disengaged and car can be played manually too - fake engine - due to design of front axle it's only I4 - chassis at the moment is also by Sheepo, but the front part of it will definitely be changed Here is my question to you - does it look good? Will it work in real life? Focus on the front axle, rest can be rebuild later (I know I have to strengthen the gearbox). Are the angles ok? I have a problem with attaching top wishbone links properly. As you can see, I attached front ones without a problem, but the back ones give me a headache due to caster angle. Could someone help me and point me the way how to do it? Thank you in advance!
