Therefore I went looking. And found copies for sale online. Brutal business.

I have just received an email from Cada customer service that a number of parts will no longer be available (out of stock and won't be restocked), including: - Ball sockets with pin - Connector with axle hole and axle - The "half-T" liftarm - 7L axle with stopper I can't imagine Cada not using these any more. Maybe what they really mean is that they will no longer sell them separately? Amazing products, but Cada have a lot of room for improvement in other areas.

Cada make some amazing parts. It's a pity it's so difficult to order them. Otherwise I would use them a lot more. And if I'm designing something I'm going to share online, I have to assume that nobody would be able to get hold of them.

I've been gradually creating LDraw digital versions of a selection of Cada special technic parts, for use in Studio. I'm pretty bad at 3D CAD, and some of the parts look better than others. But all function very well within Studio. Not sure if anyone's interested. Getting an actual 3D CAD person would be the best idea. BTW: Do NOT upgrade to the 2.25.11_1 version of Studio unless you want your files corrupted and/or deleted. There are already a couple of threads on this in the Studio forum.

There is this earlier version of it on Rebrickable.

Hey, I've added HOG steering and tail lights to "CaDA C61016 Porsche 919 Hybrid Sports-Car", if anyone's interested.

My "Pimp My Pimped McLaren" mods have been published on Rebrickable.

Presenting a sneak peak of one of my pimp my pimped McLaren mods. Headlights, doors cosmetic, doors functional, rear mesh, gearbox and shifting improvements. I'll put some instructions together and put on Rebrickable.

Maybe something like shown here (except with pneumatics instead of hydraulics):

Hey, that's so amazing. Thanks for the link. But that uses position-triggered valves to control the height, and as awesome as that is, it's not what I was thinking about. I was thinking about directly cross-connecting the cylinders similar to: Just wondering whether it would be worth exploring.

Has anyone experimented with FRIC pneumatic suspension? Cross-connecting front and rear cylinders to help control a car's pitch angle? Just wondering whether it would be worth experimenting with?

Could you share a list of all the components you used? Thanks!

I made a bunch of mods and it works much better now.

The paddle shifting assembly works perfectly on its own (disconnected from anything else) and I successfully tested the gearbox on its own before. So the problem must be with the chunky CV joints.
