I like this suspension setup. Clever, compact, unusual. And it's very detailed model for it's size and functions) -
Incredibly curvy model. One of best LEGO replica that i've seen.
-
Wonderful video, very relaxing to watch) I noticed that arrows movement isn't regular. And looks like arrows weight cause it. Maybe shortening arrows or adding counterweights will make this construction even better.
-
@nicjasno There's 4 stud distance. #1 connectors will not work) I'll find how to fit ball joint deeper, but later. @DrJB Thanks. Scrub radius isn't zero. It was hard to measure, and i was lazy to calculate) But it can be changed almost without problems. Anyway i'll rebuild whole thing, when i find better push-rod position. As for wheel - i used standard wheel with thin tire, so any other tire will fit without problems. But Unimog/Claas tires can generate more slack.
-
True) At least i don't plan to use this setup with driving wheels, so almost all twisting forces will rotate wheel instead of hub. Thanks for pointing at this problem anyway) But push-rod can twist hub against suspension arms, so push-rod is a problem. I need to solve it somehow.
-
Thanks for comments) @nicjasno I plan to improve it) It was surprising, but there's almost no slack in steering. Push-rods is largest problem now. @Boulderer Yes, i thinking about linkages. I think in final version there will be longitudinal steering rack. @Leonardo da Bricki It's almost same odd placement, as in 42000) @Myers Lego Technic, @Jurss I've tried many solutions, using 9L links looks compact and with 5 pins horizontal distance between ball joint inside wheel - whole system steer better, less slack. But my solution is far from best with that wobbling push-rod) @Sariel Nice to see you commenting thing, that was inspired by your construction long time ago)
-
It's something incredible. Doesn't even looks as toy. Congratulations with frontpaging and PRO tag)
-
Enjoyed the video. Very relaxing to watch how this thing work) Weird idea: maybe placing pendulum on top of mechanism can help to get rid of this non-LEGO weight?
-
I read about virtual pivot steering in Sariel's blog a long time ago. He stated there that his solution can't be used with suspension. I decided that here's nothing impossible and develop so many prototypes that didn't worked) At 100th try i built something that finally work. It's not robust, it's not precise. But it have 2 studs travel and can steer) Weakest point it's lower ball joint of push rod. At maximum angle of steering to one side ball will pop out of 6L link instead of transfer force to springs. Any suggestions about improving this idea are welcome)

Ford Mustang GT 350-H
Victor Imaginator replied to Sariel's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Great model. One of my favorite cars. More cool - using standard PF. -
Don't know yet where i'll finish, but it's already something worth sharing. Task was to fit battery box, xl motor and servo to chassis using smallest possible wheels. It may look bending near front wheels, but it's not - there's only small angle of steering arms) As you see - battery box serving as rails for steering rack. Steering hub located inside the wheel. Pivot isn't perfect, but much much better, than usual with this wheels. Steering arm using one 4x0.5 beam instead of two because there's no space for thick version. But it's strong enough for that scale. Ackerman geometry included. Steering arms is too long for 100% proper geometry, but it's better, than rectangle. 4x2 beams at rear axle may looks weird... I not sure - there's perfect connection. But there's no any stress, and it's encredibly rigid 0.5 stud bracing. Thanks for reading, hope you feel somewhat more inspired now)
-
Another topic to follow) Wish you luck with clock.
-
Awesome WIP. I will follow this topic with great interest)
-
Tiny, simple, pure fun to build i guess)
-
Nice tinkering) I definitely should use it for my truck, that i building now.
-
Mack looks incredibly cool, but for me it also looks not best investment. While rally car looks awesome and i really like what parts included. Rally car feels like new 42039 in terms of ability to mod and rebuid as c-models.
-
Great MOC. I like simplicity of the chassis. How much rebuilds was before coming to perfection?)
-
Sad, but i'll finally abandon this model( Being obsessed with my another hobby - making music, i didn't touch my LEGO for almost a year. Today i decide that i want some LEGO back in my life, put all on my table... And i don't know what to do with my unfinished U4023 now. I can share LXF or make any photos if somebody need it, but i want to make something different now. Don't have any thoughts how to finish this model - i just lose initial idea( It's not bad at all, i'm back.
-
New car again? Another build, worth making wallpaper from photo) I like how spoiler is fixed with these weird suspension links. Agreed - overall shape looks a little bit boxy comparing to original car.

Lola T70 MOC
Victor Imaginator replied to Cobin77's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Great car. Looks very close to original. I like engine details) There's really weird windscreen on the original car) This model represent it well as i think. -
Incredible model. That flowing lines. Can't stop watching) Will be nice to see suspension and internals in details. I faced same problem with fitting too much things in too low car, and it's interesting to look at another approach.
-
@Ad_Astra Looks like buggy or quad. And I've seen really ugly buggies and quads. Your MOC looks nice, as i think. Agressive, with nice curves, proportional. So, i will wait for updates) @Paknaloid This makes my day)))
-
@I_Igor My U4023 stay unfinished for few months. Can't find time for some serious LEGO. I hope that i will find time that i need to finish at least Unimog in this year)
-
Pullback may be useful for suspension, as replacement for springs.
-
Nice to see your Unimog finished. Realistic, cute and cool)
