Thanks Jurgen!! :cry_happy:;) I think that a lot of people still not understand how usefull can be this system for them And comming soon more axles and chassis!!!

I hope that too :) First rear axles http://www.sheepo.es/2012/02/mps-rear-axles-i-doublewishbone-i.html

You are right, this wobbling exist and it is impossible to eliminate, but I prefer follow my own ways ;) I like more an axle with suspension and steering with advanced features that a single and rigid axle, just different points of view ;) But in any case between that many axles I am building I made some with Lego steering hubs, like this not published yet: More axles means more possibilities for built supercars ;)

I decided make this platform a few months ago because some people ask me about my supercars chassis. Also I don't like use Lego suspension hub(part x873c01) because it is very limited to make an axle, and too much people use it... And I want that they lose the fear to make an axle without this part. First two chassis: http://www.sheepo.es/2012/02/mps-chassis-1.html

Thanks for post it here!! In the next days I will add some more axles and chassis, stay tuned!! Now I have more than 30 elements present pending...

You will need wait some more years for that hahaha Instructions are avaiable here: Sheepo's Garage And from Rebriable: http://rebrickable.com/sets/sheepo/Astra-8x8-Mini-Truck-Trial Enjoy it!!!

Thanks to post it here!! It is very simple but works very well Now I am making LDD instructions, it will be available in a few days ;)

Some months ago I was decided to develope a new gearbox base to use in my secuential gearbox family. I was searching a compact gearbox silimar to the 8448 gearbox, but more efficient, strong and with more realistic speeds ratio... Interestingly I get the same configuration that allanp with 5+R gearbox :laugh: Great thread!!! keep it at top!!

Again thanks to all for your votes!!!

Easy, without batteries the cars have much less weight: less weight = more speed One of them has 4 RC motors :laugh: I love this competitions!!! Some time ago I tried to make a competition like this in my city, but was very difficult to find many people near...

Thanks to all for your votes and comments!! I have 3 new big MOCs in the oven for the next year ;)

Thanks!!! Your GT40 and your boat are fantastic too!!!

Sorry for the wait :( Now you can download instructions for the mini gearbox and some information here: sheepo.es/2011/11/sequential-4-speeds-mini-gearbox.html

You are very exaggerated, but thanks!!! :thumbup:

Now you can download LDD file to make it yourself here. It has been uploaded to rebrickable.com (waiting for moderator).

I don't know... :pir-cry_sad: I used spare parts.

Only a few weeks. ;)

Completely agree with you!!, but unfortunately a softer springs can not support the car corretly :(

After spending a year and a half creating my Porsche 911, I decided to make a smaller and simpler car, but keeping some of the complexity of my previous creations. But at the same time I wanted to follow the line to create all my cars on a scale between 1/7.5 and 1/8.5. So if I wanted to make a small car, I had to choose a very small car, a mini car we ... doing a MINI!! The final scale is 1/7.8, which is exactly the same as the Bugatti Veyron, and the final dimensions are only 23 studs wide, 49 long and 22.5 high. Looking this size I created a big scale car, but in mid-size :). It has a 4-cylinder transverse front fake engine, and as a curiosity the order of the cylinders follows the same order as a real, not like 99% of MOCs and technic sets. Of course it is front wheel drive like the Mini and steering with functional steering wheel. And the best for the end, this little car has a secret under that little hood, it has 4-speed sequential gearbox. The size is only 11x10x8 studs. With this gearbox I close the discussion about the sequential gearboxes are too big for use in medium-sized cars. The sequencing mechanism is one of the many versions of the Porsche's gearbox discarded. As you can see in this last picture all electrical components are in the bottom of the car under the seats to maximize interior space. And to finish a little video: More info and pictures in sheepo.es I hope you like it!!

The past year I made two RC Rally cars. Both were great but didn't have enough speed for me, the solution?? Easy, make a smaller and lighter car. This new XR7 car has 16 studs wide, 29 studs length and weighs only 550gr. It has 2XL motors for drive and a M motor for steering with return-to-center. The transmission is very simple to get the best possible efficiency. The final gear rato is 1:2.78, and max. speed is 4 kph (2.5mph) I used XL motors and not RC because in a competition in Madrid we only could use PF motors. A little video More info and pictures: sheepo.es I hope you like it!!! Edit: I forgot something. I am making building instructions, I have a file with all parts and steps, but I dont know to put in it flex parts, in this case rigid hose... If anybody wants to help me please ask by pm ;)

Locked video by youtube :( Music copyright problems...

I'm glad you like it!!! And thanks to DLuders for post it here

Just for you :wink:

I think that too!! In the old pictures(toy fair??) the Unimog has the old 8466 shock absorbers But this springs are new sure!! Maybe the all shock absorber could be new?

Sorry for the wait :sad: Tha car move slow beacuse the weight is very high and the transmision is very complex, it move around 2-3 km/h.
