    Yes, it clicks for sure (I've built it physically first). This connection isn't perfect but I just reproduced the original assembly of RM8. You may see how it was done in his video (2:38). And... I think you hadn't to quote the images). I like RM8's idea in general, but is still trying to make it more braced and more compact, however, it's not an easy task because of the buggy motor shape...

    I spend some time to make the LDD version of it: https://bricksafe.com/files/Void_s/9398-4199-crawler-mods/Crawler Axle with the Buggy Motor.lxf Also, I rebuild it a bit by adding front skews (I didn't like so rectangular front end that stuck in obstacles) and increased the width: https://bricksafe.com/files/Void_s/9398-4199-crawler-mods/Crawler Axle with the Buggy Motor v2.lxf

    It also got these Porshe wheel arches, Claas tires and wheel hubs and some new other parts.

    I do agree completely. I was very surprised by a great number of semi-illegal connections while was making an LDD version these days, and I just couldn't add some parts just because of some small bending of then (a very little, but enough to be discarded by LDD): liftarms at the bottom edge of the doors, 2x4 L-shape liftarms between the front arches and doors etc. Now I see the obvious reason for that, nice touch

    Yes, and it looks like 20T gear (notice the same inner "cross") but with an inclined rim instead of the teeth crown.

    The first one really looks like a Straddle Carrier that moves very heavy steel plates. Front + Rear axles steering, very rigid frame and a colossal bearing capacity. That's it, @CopMike is right. The second mostly reminds Liquid (Molden) steel carrier (look at the giant "cup"). For more information, you can also refer to Kress machinery: http://www.kresscarrier.com/CarriersLadle.html.

    Guys, maybe I missed it but didn't find here, but some new parts of 42083 arrived at BrickLink: 35186 - Technic Driving Ring Extension with 8 Teeth Inside and Outside. That has less backslash rather the older one with 4 teeth. 35188 - Technic Changeover Rotary Catch. 35185 - Technic, Gear 20 Tooth Double Bevel with Clutch on Both Sides. Finally!!! 35189 - Technic, Steering Wheel Hub 3 Pin Holes Round. Holes instead of pins, that dramatically reduce the use scope, but compatible with new wheels (see below). 37383pb01 - Wheel 62.3mm D. x 42mm Technic Racing Large with Silver Outline Pattern. Not very useful like the previous one, but works with Braked-hubs (see above).

    I thought so, but wanted to get rid of any doubts, so I'll put it on hold so far. Thanks!

    Sorry if it may help anybody illegal one, but I'd prefer to ask beforehand. Am I allowed to publish here the LDD model of this set? I finished it by ~50% already and strongly believe that it may help in the further mods.

    He was talking about a worm gear-like changeover thing (that not yet released), not about not so recently issued 1L worm gear.
  11. Void_S
    Sorry if it was replied, but the diff looks unchanged and moreover it connected yo two 2T double bevel gears - regular driven tan and a new blue that just supports the diff's crown.
  12. Void_S
    I think so, a brake disk should be a middle part between the disk and hub (both with pins), so the brake disk should have 6 holes.
  13. Void_S
    In general, this clutch gear (I suppose that you mean the white one that can slip) will start slipping when the torque exceeds some limit. The result will remain the wheels with a very low-traction tires: a motor will be trying to rotate that gear that slips easily. So yes, the model will get stuck over obstacles. I don't think that it's a great idea to use them, as the portal hubs are for torque increasing, but those gears will just ruin the result.
  14. Void_S
    Great observation. It's the same story like "axle with stop / stud end": they have 3, 5, and 8 lengths when inserted in a pinhole, but 2.9, 4.9 and 7.9 in case of an axle hole. And as for them, I don't like be getting +0.1 axles.
  15. Void_S
    Sure thing. Look at that LBG Axle and Pin 3L Perpendicular Connector that holds the top end of the shock absorber, its movement is limited only by the friction provided by the axle parts of black pole reverse handles. I afraid that only friction is not enough here and after some N-th change of the "wings" position (while the spring is pushing up this construction), the 3L connector just will start moving on these axles.
  16. Void_S
    Nice finding, but I afraid that a new part won't slip off from these connectors once.
  17. Void_S
    Yes, for sure. I was meaning the parts that mostly used as structural connectors rather usual bushes (to fill the gap). For instance, I really don't like when these connectors appear as parts of the high-loaded axles. Maybe it's just my engineering paranoia
  18. Void_S
    @Omikron, I agree that it's a kind of a plague. It was a real pain in 90's years (light gray bushes and those "teethed" half-bushes crack so easily just by putting any axle inside), and now the bushes and bush-based parts like you mentioned already have some cracks. However I still hope that TLG will do something to get rid of this situation, like it happened with 3651 Technic, Axle and Pin Connector, that became 32013 Technic, Axle and Pin Connector Angled #1 by replacement of bush-based part with a half of 2L axle connector, that is much stronger (well, and now it's without side-studs): > . ----------- Update: finally it was revealed that a new coming 42082 Rough Terrain Crane contains at least four 24119 curved 7X3 panels in red color.

    Hello and welcome to EB! I knew that this community (especially Technic and Mindstorms forum) mostly consists of Engineering-related people, but so hardcore-ones...

    Hello everybody. I found that amazing thing while was browsing YouTube and didn't have an idea to post it here, as I couldn't find the author here, at EB. But since this scheme was used in another MOC that very close replicates it, let me just share the original model to give well-deserved praises and honors to the ingenious author. P.S. Mr. Dgustafsson13, if you're reading this post and do not want to have it shared at EB for some reasons, please let me know and I'll delete the post. And here it the MOC. Unusually amazing off-road capability even for a general crawler, not taking into account a heavy track cabin. It's a really great model
  21. Void_S
    Thank you too! I'm glad to see another "physical" appearance (and will add your changes to the LDD file, if you don't mind),and so glad to see how you managed to motorize it. To bad that ride height adjustment remained manual, but the car isn't big to fit it, as I can see. Update: thanks to IRONDUCK's changes (he managed to correct some illegal connections better that were my attempts), I bring some changes to the LDD file. It's still in progress and has only manual option (no RC so far), but let me share it: https://bricksafe.com/pages/Void_s/8880 Update 2: the LDD model is more ore less ready. It was a real pain to adjust the transmission connections (those universal joints...), but now I'd say that just a few things remains unfinished.
  22. Void_S
    It's a superposition of two corner transmissions: the first pair of bevel gears (#1 and #2, let's number them) transmits the rotation from the axle itself (gear #1) to a vertical shaft (with gear #2) that is a kingpin in the same time. It's a static part of the axle. And then, gears #2 and #3 transmits rotation from the kingpin to the wheel hub, which is a steerable part of the axle.
  23. Void_S
    I believe that this part is just cheaper than 2L with axle hole because of less material consumption. I remember that was said somewhere across this forum (2018 set, I suppose) that since TLG got possibility to mix their own colors (white ABS + dye), there is no efforts to make some recolors using the existing molds and colors. Plus it was a discussion that Constraction theme isn't very cost-effective (ton of new molds for every new set), so I think that they also tried to reduce the costs using all possible ways.
  24. Void_S
    @Didumos69, is it feasible to rotate the 3L axles with a stop at 180 degrees to put their "stops" into the gears' holes? I think that should look even better, but don't know if it may affect the physical aspect somehow.
  25. Void_S
    I believe that it's for 8475 and 8366 sets, not for the MOC
