42055 - Bucket Wheel Excavator
deehtha replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
By my count there are at least 14 of the quarter arc gear racks, 8 on the wheel, 4 on the base turntable and 2 for the discharge belt. It's hard to tell on my phone, but the discharge conveyer looks like it has a wheel of some sort guided by the curved rack. It's the dbg piece at the back of the lower part of the conveyer in the following pic. -

If the hole in the center of the dash is for HoG, why isn't there a guid piece at the top, like a 15100? -

My favorite part of my 8448 was changing the gears. -

For scale reference, the small machine looks to be a BWE of some sort. Hard to tell in my phone though -

TLG put a lot of detail in this, but I suspect they made it a flat 6 and not a boxer 6. It would add a lot of pieces for an effect most people would not even notice. -
[TC9] Trophy Truck
deehtha replied to deehtha's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Finished the b-model. This one went through many more design iterations than the Trophy Truck. One of the big problems I was having was with 7l beams. I had 4 which would have been plenty, but each one was in a different color. B-model has a fake mini v8 which is driven by the front axle. The middle axle are trailing arm suspension and free wheeling. The rear axle is articulated and controlled by the black 12z bevel gear on top. The louvres and closed height of the engine compartment are adjustable. At the rear of the truck is a little bit of storage. As soon as I get some better light I will shoot better pictures. -

Looking at all the work you guys are doing on the paddle shifters, it seems to me that the most important part of a paddle shifter is missing from the display model, the actual paddle. Maybe the design isn't finished ( new piece? ) The placement of the 4l half beams also means an axle cannot connect the top to the bottom. It will collide with the beams from the other side. And paddle shifters typically are pull activated, and these seem to be push activated. Which begs the question, is this incomplete? Not fully designed? A fake system that shows when a gear is selected but not which gear? And the grey box visible through the wheel well of the drivers side rear wheel bear a resemblance to the curved side of the WeDo 2.0. Hopefully it's 9 volts with decent batteries ( and not a 9volt battery like the really old system battery boxes) and 4 ports from the start. -

There is a new 3l axle with stop. It is in some of the new sets already out. I forget which ones. I know it isnt the stunt plane or the mine loader. -

If you were implementin rts on a car with the orange part, you would have it as close to the rack as possible, as any slack in the system will defeat the purpose -

Maybe it was just left in that position. -

If the spoiler is adjustable, it's manual. I don't see any linkages connected to the spoiler, just the supports -

Maybe the new pump is a clutch driven compressor, which could explain why the guy in the video pumped first and then moved the valve. This could explain both the lack of spring and the upgradibility. -
[TC9] Trophy Truck
deehtha replied to deehtha's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I got some body work done on the b model. Right now the articulation on the rear axle is just the axle, the body work will be rigid. The blue is a test of the fenders, to make sure I can clear the range of motion of the last two axles. Here is a shot of the other side showing the body without the fenders. I geared the steering down a little bit. It feels more responsive this way, and less like the Volvo Wheel loader. Still some work left to do. I don't even really know what to call this, I don't have a plan. Maybe I will call it a futuristic 6-wheeled trial truck. -

I'm curious about the red shocks. This car would need at least the hard shocks, but why switch to red? Is it a new style/strength? Or are they red to match body color? -

The paddle shifters, new panels, and other things have been mentioned multiple times as well. Why feel the need to say this? I have viewed this thread multiple times, and there multiple new post after I make a post. -

Everyone is focusing on the exterior color, but has anyone thought about the interior? Plenty of panels in there, including at least one possibly two of the short curved panel. Would they do a realistic color scheme? I've seen all black, black with red trim and seats, and cream/ light tan seats with similar colors on the doors and dash. -

If I was gonna introduce a new PF system, I would want the set to be impressive, especially if the new system has updated rc motors. As for the hate on the pf2 system, we have only seen a very small facet of it. -

The lbg 1x2 is probably to connect the pieces that represent the vents on the rear fenders -

Maybe there is too much slack in the system to get the paddles in the right place. -

If the rubber bands are connected to paddle shifters that are functional, that could mean a transmission that could be controlled by a servo, possibly some new pieces with it -

Rubber bands for paddle shifters? Are those wheels 81 mm? I would say there is more than 60 panels, at least. @Aleh, your English is good
