The gearbox is my own idea, it is a 4 speed that I built in 2019 for the Audi in my profile photo. And as for the shifter I tried myself to build a reliable one but with no succes, so I did a highly modified version of this (smaller, better paddles, secured steering wheel, more connection points): https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-66230/TechToth/simples-high-torque-paddles-shifters/#details

On the money :) Great point! I will see what can be done. Thank you @MP LEGO Technic creations , but I can’t see the photo you posted. That part took the most time, it’s really difficult to make it so small and also pushrod style. When the car is lowered nothing touches the ground on a flat surface ( there is half a cm left I believe). You are right, the car should have more volume in the back, thanks for the point!

Hello everyone, Today I present you a new supercar I am building, Apricus V8... Features: -suspension on all wheels with caster angle -adjustable ride height -HoG with working steering wheel -4 speed vertical gearbox with paddles -working mini V8 engine I am planning that on top of these advanced features, I will create a violent design for the bodywork, which will be in orange most likely with a black roof. This project has been in the making for about 2 months as of now and I am really happy with it so far. Some parts of this car are really crazy IMO, for example the steering, which has so many extra gears just get a HoG in... When I first thought of building this concept car I was worried abut the feasibility of this project, since the "extra" features are some quite intricate brain-twisters. At last, here is a comparison between max and min of the suspension: And a close-up of the seats: Thank you for viewing!

[WIP] Lamborghini Urus
Alex Ilea replied to Alex Ilea's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thank you! That is indeed right. Thank you, I also thought about building the mansory version. I am not sure about the scake of this car, the wheels are from the ferrari set, but probably you are right. -
Hi, I want to present a work in progress of my newest build : Lamborghini Urus. The features are as following: -Steering with working steering-wheel (servo motor) -4x4 driving with an active V6, as there was no room for a V8 (Xl motor) -Adjustable ride height (L motor) And finally an underside shot: More photos of the car here : https://bricksafe.com/pages/ILEAALEX/lamborghini-urus I really enjoyed the challenge of building the chassis for this car, although it is not perfect as I really wanted all wheel steering but it didn't happen in the end. Thank you for your time and any feedback is appreciated as there is a lot to improve, have a beautiful day!

[MOC] Ford F550 Heavy duty
Alex Ilea replied to LoMaC's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Beautiful build! -
This looks promising! I would recommend, as I see the cabin structure to be quite rigid, that you make the A pillars very thin, this will make the car look better than if it had thicker ones (even just a flexaxle).

Paid instructions
Alex Ilea replied to Akbalder's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
That is the point, it's something new that takes time and thinking. You can't say a C model for a set like 42069 would be free, it could be like 5 or 10 euros. I still don't get why people complain about paying 10-15 euros for instructions, that amount of money for most EU/NA countries that is like a trip to the grocery shop to get a couple of chips and a cola. -
Paid instructions
Alex Ilea replied to Akbalder's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I believe that great work should be paid, so even if you build a C model of a set you should get paid if it is a complex project that required a lot of time. Big MOCs should of course be paid because of the work involved. -
This looks crazy and wacky, I love it! You should make a youtube video with this vehicle driving. Anyways an awesome build!
