    I hope so! There's for sure one used for the rear differential. Here you can also see there's also a normal 20t gear at the other side of the diff.

    Perhaps, although I think the blue clutch gears are not only for better bracing the diffs. That should not be needed if static bracing is okay. I think for the rear differential the blue gear is used to route reverse underneath the differential while bypassing the gearbox and for the front differential the blue clutch gear is used to involve the front differental in the same routing. For the differentials the blue clutch gears are only preferred over normal 20t gears, because they are secured better with 3L frictionless pins than normal ones attached to an axle.

    LOL I think the white clutch gear will somehow absorb wind-up caused by the absence of a center differential.

    I didn't say it would have to be the same as 42056. Me too. Despite all images we have no clue yet. If they have been looking around a little in the MOC-community, they sure won't use the same method as in 42056.

    I bet you can make a good working Porsche 911 GT3 RS out of this set .
  7. Didumos69
    I think so too.

    The new driving ring extension just below the yellow liftarm in this image:

    I thought of that too. I might try later. Cool! You're making me curious!

    The Lego Technic Singapore facebook page has almost all images. (Assume this is okay now @Jim?). Btw, not the whole parts list is available, but given that it is sorted by color, we can draw some conclusions.

    The driving ring extension is often used to avoid two clutch gears on parallel driving rings from engaging directly, which is necessary to add an extra gear for reverse. But this gearbox is so different, I wouldn't want to draw real conclusions from the presence of a driving ring extension. (If I understand @Jim correctly, this is allowed now) @Erik Leppen, I think most of your conclusions are right. One thing though: Going by the knob wheels in the gearbox image, I conclude the gearbox in the foreground of the image (background of the instructions image) is the one with 90-degree steps and thus the 4-speed gearbox you are speaking of. That would also mean there has to be a 4th driving ring (which is also confirmed by the 5 driving rings on the parts list). So the gearbox in the background of the image (foreground of the instructions image) is the 2-speed gearbox you are speaking of and the image shows this one has also 2 driving rings. Now what I think, is that in this 2-speed gearbox each driving ring have different speeds, but the clutch gears at each side of the driving rings result in the same speed. In other words, it doesn't matter which clutch gear a driving ring engages, if it engages a clutch gear, it will always give the same speed. So, it's actually a 4-speed gearbox with 2 output speeds. This way the orange gear selector in the 2-speed gearbox only needs to make a 90-degree rotation between 4th and 5th gear. If there would have been only one driving ring in the 2-speed gearbox, the rotation would have had to be 180 degree, which is more difficult to achieve. Look at this still from the official teaser video, the orange (0x)-piece with pin-with-towball could be used to make the 90-degree shifts for the 2-speed gearbox between 4th and 5th gear: After another look at the building images I noticed there is a 20t gear on each side of the rear differential. At the back side a 20t clutch gear and at the front side a normal 20t gear. It could be that the blue 20t clutch gear engages with a 12t gear attached to an axle running underneath the differential. This could mean the reverse is completely bypassing the gearbox, which would be a good thing. The axle running underneath the differential could also be used to route drive to the front differential, without a center differential of course. A center differential is also not on the parts list.

    To add to this, here's a compact sequential 4-speed gearbox layout and so far this is the most simple solution I could come up with. It's still not that easy, because to use the new orange selector, the driving rings cannot be placed on opposite sides of the gear selector. To take full advantage of the new 20t clutch gears, the gear ratio between the two driving rings needs to be closer to 1:1 than the 20:12 ratio made by the new clutch gears. In this case I used 16:20. Ratios are: 4:5, 1:1, 4:3, 5:3. Green is input Yellow is control Red is output

    LOL. Actually - I just realized - the point where it drives down at the end of the video, there is no hardboard underneath the carpet. So it make more or less a free fall.
  14. Didumos69
    LOL

    I will map your analysis on the available images tomorrow and see if I can confirm. Btw, after looking at the instructions on one of the images, I think there is a 4th driving ring underneath the second orange selector. It seems there is a yellow piece at one end of it. Maybe a yellow driving ring extender? That would indicate a reverse. EDIT: Just realized one more thing, to switch between C left and C right, the orange selector would have to make a 180 degree rotation.

    Here I posted the parts list. Nothing has changed since. I plan to only release the color scheme I have. I suppose people are able to reason which parts to replace to make their own color scheme. The medium blue and white parts are all part of the body (except for the silicon bands). For the black stripes you need to look a little better. If you have questions, you can always ask here. So I tried in reverse and guess what, it works! A 100% slope, without problems. PS: Don't watch the end of the video .

    Thank you @Ron1 for taking the time to give us an update. It is good to know you are aware of the issues people are experiencing and I'm looking forward to seeing resolutions for the issues that can be addressed with software / firmware update. Perhaps it is a good idea to give an update every once in a while in the BuWizz topic, so at least people know which issues are on your radar and what to expect. And I'm sure there are people out here that are willing to test-drive software updates. I'm one of them, just send me a PM. In the end, I think the Technic community wants BuWizz to be a sustainable success just as hard as you. I think feature requests better be posted in the dedicated BuWizz topic.

    Aren't all leaked images images of delivered instances? If you have to draw a line, which is apparently the case, than this is not less leaked than all the other leaked images.
  19. Didumos69
    @Jim, @Milan, would it be an idea to temporarily change the topic title to '42083 Bugatti - No leaked content, no links either'.
  20. Didumos69
    Apparently you were not the first with other leaks . True.

    Using that rubber piece is not a good idea for brakes in general. I know Sheepo did it, but not everything he did is indisputable. The rubber pieces will incline so much friction that the entire model will want to halt as soon as the calipers are engaged. This also causes the rubber pieces to get damaged easily. It would be much more realistic to use the flat side of a hard plastic piece.
  22. Didumos69
    What software do you use? I use LDD to design, then from LDD I export to '.ldr' using the updated LDraw.xml and finally I make renders with Stud.io.

    The shifter is not strong enough to make the driving rings pas the ridges of the white connector. It’s the limiter that should complete the shifts' but I think the li item is too tight. Sorry for answering @Leonardo da Bricki.
  24. Didumos69
    Thanks for the video! Your shifter does not seem to align to 90 degree angles very well. I can't really see what is going on though. What I can see, is that the whole bracing relies on connectors rather than beams. It looks nice, but it makes your structure quite weak. It is friction locked and not form locked. I would make sure you have at least a few lengthwise, transversal and vertical beams or frames running through the system to lock things properly.

    Okay, sorry for not being around here lately. I have been too occupied with my own project. I will integrate the gearbox into the chassis this week.
