    Seem to work great but something just seems really weird when the hub is not rotating when driving.

    Hello, I have been building with Lego technic and power functions for about 2 years now and like many others have discovered that the 7.2v of 6 rechargeable batteries is sometimes not enough for some creations. One day I found a old TYCO RC for free, looked at the battery and saw,"9.6v" I thought "SCORE!" and started making a adapter for it. I made this "Rat Rod" to test out how the extra 2.4v effected fast models. So enough talking here are the pics IMG_6020 by JJ2Sam, on Flickr IMG_6021 by JJ2Sam, on Flickr It uses: . Servo for steering. . 2 L-motors geared 3:1 for drive. . and obviously 1 custom battery "Box" The car was literately built around the Sbrick and has almost no open space in the chassis and it is very rigid for how small it is. The steering is regular rack and pinion and the L-motors were coupled together because there was sadly no room for a differential. I have not measured the top speed but I think it is around 6-10mph on a full charge. When I built the bodywork I tried to make it look tough and powerful almost like an armored bank vehicle. The battery almost took up all the space on the top so I had no room even to make a rough interior. I am not at all happy about the hood because of the steep angle and gaps but this was built just to test out the battery not to win a beauty award IMG_6024 by JJ2Sam, on Flickr Almost forgot the most important picture. Here's the video All pictures and more are on my Flickr account LINK Thank you for reading

    Performs better then I expected, although I think it needs a reverse gear

    Good baja truck and I like the way you built in the motors into the hubs. To embed a video just make the text 14 like it should be and presto

    I don't know how I missed this topic but this looks amazing! I like the front end detail.

    That worked try using the Axle Collection thread to find an axle that fits your needs. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=92099

    Great truck and I like the idea of using a LPE instead of PF but it seems like there might be a little too much chassis flex but that might just be the camera. Is there any chance of a video of it moving? I think he means try using plates as your leaf springs instead of axles.

    I had am idea on how to improve the idea so I built it in LDD. I made it where the mini turntable was centered on the 5x7 frames making it less reliant on part slack and then I made a rough spring mount, yellow goes on yellow. DOWNLOAD If you build the improvement could you post some pics?

    Very nice, like Alasdair Ryan said it good to see a studded or old style MOC around the technic forum
  10. JJ2
    Exactly
  11. JJ2
    Great idea but also like you last one you made it could be considered an "Illegal" build because it relies on the slack in parts, but heck I am going to use it on my builds
  12. JJ2
    Wow That's quite a mess. I feel bad for you for having to do that with LDraw.
  13. JJ2
    Wow looks nice and crisp. I love it when people combine the somewhat opposing themes system and technic in a beautiful way, good job

    Never mind I found something with further inspection that would fit my need that you had already designed.

    I have a couple to share. 1. You sort all your Lego pieces into colorized drawers to have easy axcess. 2. When you earn money the only thing you can think about is,"what lego can I buy with this. 3. You Lego rooms trash can is full of megablock stuff... 4. The Trashcan is made out of Duplo bricks. 5. When your family members break a creation you are more concerned about the Lego then them. 6. Spend %90 of your time with Lego-Eurobricks watching. 7. All your bookmarks on your internet screen are Lego related. That's all for today

    Wow its beautiful :wub:
  17. JJ2
    Nice idea, I would build this but I lack the mini turntables, I need to buy some.
  18. JJ2
    I dont really understand what you mean by,"having different height steering arms and for using as engine conrods." On another note will the ball part fit on a suspension wishbone?
  19. JJ2
    Ouch man! That stinks that you separated your LA's, Maybe you can try using the Kargle on them and see how that works.
  20. JJ2
    Awesome cant wait. Exactly what I was thinking to do! I really want to get some or make some myself because they look awesome.
  21. JJ2
    Absolutely brilliant suspension! is there any chance of releasing the LDD file? How much slack is in where the wheels connect to the hubs using the 5.5L axle? I really want to build this or base something off of this
  22. JJ2
    *oh2*11L Axle! Really? I am so excited to get my hands on one of them do you know if they are going to be LBG?
  23. JJ2
    Wow I did not really understand how big this was until I saw the pictures! I really cant wait for the video!
  24. JJ2
    You might want to check again Heres one IMG_5270 by JJ2Sam, on Flickr You can clearly see the top LBG beams and the Black Bottom ones.

    "2-Link" suspension is not as good as a 4-Link one because it has less travel, introduces a negative caster angel on the axle because when compressed it follows an arch making steering have more bump steer. 4-Link is much better because it can have MUCH more travel, and it does not follow and arch when compressed eliminating the variable caster. I believe Lego used the "2-Link" suspension because it is much easier to build, and has less side to side movement. Here are tow prime examples of the two different suspension types. and Hope this helped.
