    Working on the front end, I'm staring to get a shape that I like! Things to do still are clean up behind the lights/add lights, and a grill behind the opening and fill in a few odd spots but it's getting there !

    If it's clicking from the gearbox it needs to be reinforced (I'd say the left/right need tying together better), if it's the diff I'd say you're not geared down enough and you have too much speed and not enough torque to move it! Other than that you're left with the two 8teeth gears which are prone to slipping, you can correct this by using the black 12t/20t combo which line up perfectly one stud over and one up on a diagonal. That's how I centred mine and I don't have issues, also my drive is geared down significantly so only 4th gear is a typical drive speed the rest are super slow. I hope that makes sense!

    Well isn't this quite the rugged truck! Moves quite quickly too for the size of it, nicely done. I have to ask though what are you using for the rear cover?
  4. DugaldIC
    I was just looking closer at pictures you do have and it may not be the gearbox but the two 8teeth gears you have at either end of the gearbox.

    Yeaa I tried to find an orange Aston racecar but there isn't really anything unfortunately! It would be pretty cool to get some stickers made for it, we'll see! I don't know if I'll be doing a photo teardown yet, it'll be awfully tricky! Thanks!! I'm glad you're enjoying it so far. Why thank you Jeroen, I know it's not your style but I do like the filled in look! Also starting this build while you were finishing yours, both being Astons and both in orange I wanted to do something totally different and not have people think I was copying! I'm glad you like the wheel arch in the rear, it fit too well to not use but I have to give a shout out to @crowkillers as he was the one who did it first! I'm also curious how the front is going to turn out its definitely the most ambitious design if tried to make so far. haha Well what @Lox Lego just said is true. We're brothers and I just recently started my own YouTube channel so anything that I had done or seriously helped out with like the FXX he transfered over for me. No stealing at all just separating our builds from one another's channel

    Yes and no, we help each other out with everything in general. This build however has been all my own and nothing more than keeping him updated with progress (before eurobricks gets to see )! @TechnicRCRacer amazingly only one so far, a few odd pieces from my bro but a lot.... I mean a lot of bricklink orders haha! Thanks, sooo much! I appreciate the kind words as what you've explained is what I've really tried to pull off with this build and I'm glad it's been recognized!

    Very tiny and slow but very capable I like it :)

    Thanks @Didumos69 I've been working hard to get this build right and I think @Lox Lego is right about why I've come so far and so quickly. It's helpful having someone close by to bounce ideas off of! Thanks, I'm actually quite nervous about the front end. I think that's part of the reason I finished off the back end first haha, hopefully it turns out just as clean as the back has! Haha I like that, it's pretty punny of you! I'm glad this has ended up peaking enough of you interest to let me know. Let's hope the rest shapes up to your hopes for it! Thanks! I'm glad you like the progress so far Thanks! However there's no need to go reposting all the pictures, just a tip you can always delete the pictures in the quote or call me out by adding @+Dugaldic like so! @DugaldIC I hope that helps ! Why thank you Brunojj, I'm glad you like it so far! As much as I want it to be done already I will most definitely be taking my time, I'm not trying to cut any corners with this build. I want it to be proper, hopefully it will be able to sit next to your fabulous dtm cars and not look out of place

    Looks awesome, everything really turned out amazing on this car! I'll admit I was sceptical about a paneless build but I am very taken back, you created wonderful shapes and curves and brought new meaning to robust build. Wonderfully done 
  10. DugaldIC
    @Aventador2004 @AkiyamaWataruevery car is different, even the Astons it changes location however on this build it will be in the rear bumper! Thanks, I'm glad you like it. Who know maybe you'll be having to stock up on more orange haha! @Lox Lego appreciate the feedback bro! Making some progress to the rear, ignore the gap in the rear bumper as that needs to be filled in!
  11. DugaldIC
    That parts a little hard to explain, I'd recommend having things locked in length, width and height wise so nothing can move. Brace gears by having a beam on either side of them and try not to use connectors unless they themselves are braced. Do you have a picture of your gearbox?
  12. DugaldIC
    A few more updates, any panel connected by one pin all have a second support! The back end is starting take shape after completing some inner framework to support the rear. I've mounted the pneumatic valve and made an easy access battery cover!
  13. DugaldIC
    Unfortunately I won't have a picture of it until I do a teardown, but that means I have to finish it first haha!
  14. DugaldIC
    The only time I've had this happen was in the first iteration of my 4speed in my current car, after a while 1st and 3rd would click and not even move. The issue was I had not secured the gearbox enough and it had moved apart enough that the gears were skipping! My second design has been flawless so far and is driving around 5+ pounds.
  15. DugaldIC
    It would be cool if you were to keep a gearbox, I'd also suggest a four-speed to keep it narrower or use something along the lines of @Didumos69 sequential gearbox in his most recent hammer head build. That way you still have a narrow centre and gearbox. Also try Sariels scaler, take a modern supercar and put it in for a try it'll give you accurate proportions which make a big difference in the overall appearance! keep it up, take your time you'll get there.
  16. DugaldIC
    Very well done! I love the shape and it seems to drive so well, I guess it's not a very big car
  17. DugaldIC
    You're more than welcome to, however I'd opt on keeping the same gear ratios and changing the housing to suit what you need! The gearing is the same as the set 8880. Do you plan on making a sequential or a regular manual gearbox?
  18. DugaldIC
    Hopefully I'll have an update of the rear soon! That's the beauty of torsion bars, I know they're not "legal" but it's the only way to get the look of one shock holding up a car! I don't work for Porsche, however I work on Porsches specifically doing all the metal work and fabrication! It was an older one, early 80s with a 3L motor.
  19. DugaldIC
    Haha surprisingly yes, I think I managed to follow all that! The roof was unsecured back when I did that video and is now finalized in place, it's as close as I'll be able to get to the real car, any lower and it looks way off. I've actually recently had to tear apart a GT3 911 at work to redo and I know what you mean! Everything is held together via Zeus fasteners, basically every panel except for the roof pops off for easy repairs/panel replacement! I was considering doing this but once I got into the body work I quickly realized that if I wanted to keep it sturdy with nice clean body lines there's no way I was going to be able to make the body modular unfortunately ! Also I forgot to mention the buwizz will have a removable cover on it when it's done, it's on my to do list.
  20. DugaldIC
    Well I test drove it and weighed it, it's currently 5.15 pounds and drives great, even in slow/med/fast modes on the buwizz! It's not the fastest but 4th gear is a typical drive speed on a direct driven car. Thanks! That rear wheel arch panel for the rear just fit too perfectly to not use, as for the roof it's the right size and shape according to Sariels scaler. If anything it's missing it's the roll off the edge like a real car has that's soo hard to recreate in Lego! Once it's all done you'll see for yourself in plenty of angles
  21. DugaldIC
    Thanks Didumos, I was hoping this was the type of shaping up i was going to see with the rugged supercar . However I do very much so like the way it turned out! I'm glad you like it so far, I still have a long way before its done. Thanks for all your work with the stepper, I found it useful building the gearbox in this! Haha thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it!
  22. DugaldIC
    More updates, the roof line, rear quarters and deck lid are mostly worked out!
  23. DugaldIC
    Read through this amazing build by Brunojj1, he's combined an XL with and L motor direct driven with the L motor geared down 3-1. This is the only time I've seen two different motors used at once.
  24. DugaldIC
    Very cool little buggy, now if only it was buggy motor powered with a Buwizz, it would be a rocket . Great shape though well done!
  25. DugaldIC
    Is it all working properly now? No more toe in issues? If so I'm glad I was able to help, I had that same issue when I first started making my mocs! It looks good all done, I'm not the biggest fan of decals the the shape is excellent
