    Good luck with the cv joints between the two rear axles. I have never succeeded at getting them to function in the manner it appears that you will be using them. What features do your axles have? -lockers? -gear ratio? -portal hubs -4 links/torque arms? -caster/kingpin/ackerman? v/r Andy

    I think there are some renders and more detailed pics of his Panda and it has a very similar chassis. As far as bodywork there is nothing as far a I know, but the pics should be enough to get into the ballpark. Welcome to Eurobricks by the way. v/r Andy

    When do we get a video of the performance of the underlying chassis? v/r Andy

    That's a really good weight for such a large crawler. Performance looks good too. v/r Andy

    My non-lego hobbies include RC Airplanes: They go well with my career of unmanned aviation. Automotive performance: My truck is a constant source of idle day dreams. Board Games: Great way to get together with other people. Reading/learning: Expanding my brain. I'm full of useless information. v/r Andy

    NiMH in the largest mAH you can find or something custom. v/r Andy

    Looks like a crawler and seems pretty robust. I actually like the body, but then again my bodies tend to be very simple. A couple of panels would fill it out nicely. v/r Andy

    Backed. Can't wait to make some PF vehicles that I don't need to chase after. Looking forward to the jump in performance. v/r Andy

    Because those wheel hubs don't have ackerman you could put the steering rack infront of the axle centerline and this would allow you to move the servo forward in the chassis. The end result would enable a shorter wheelbase. v/r Andy

    AMG Black edition?
  11. AndyCW
    Impressive. I eagerly await a vehicle with this setup. v/r andy

    WOW. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. I haven't had time to cruise brickshelf for quite a while. v/r Andy

    Looks great and reminds me of something in my pile of stuff. Mine was inspired by the layout in the Panda. I used nylon washers on the 20t bevel in the axle to prevent the ring gear from deflecting away from the 12t pinion. Without the washers the axles would pop with the 62.4x20 tires and wheels mounted. Again the body work looks great. v/r Andy

    1 PF large per wheel at 5:1sounds pretty robust. v/r Andrew

    Sharing is what keeps the hobby going. I look at this board everyday. If it were not for this board I would have let my old pieces and sets in the attic. It's about building a sense of community. Share, Share, Share v/r Andy

    Yes that is what I mean by double shear and it prevents the pinion from "walking" up the ring. It also prevents the rings from deflecting away from the pinion. v/r Andy

    Looks great. I like the wide body appearance. v/r Andy

    Placing the bevel gears in double shear helps prolong their lifespans. The GM 14 bolt axle uses double shear on the pinion gear. It is used as a heavy duty axle in rock crawlers. This setup prevents the pinion or ring gear from deflecting away from each other. The deflection is what causes them to eat each other. Knob gears are robust, but eat up efficiency. v/r Andy

    3:1 The fewer gears you use the better. You could build it to try both 3:1 and 1.67:1. It will depend on the weight of the final product. 5:1 makes a great crawler, but may be overkill. v/r Andy

    Nice. It's a shame more people don't build with those wheels. v/r Andy
  21. AndyCW
    Greetings. Hope we can entice you into building some trial trucks and whatnot. v/r Andy
  22. AndyCW
    It's BLUE! That's not something that we see very often. NICE. v/r Andy
  23. AndyCW
    Get well soon. This work is amazing. I may get a set of the smaller wheels v/r Andy
  24. AndyCW
    Looks great. Can't wait to see a video of performance. Is the there a center dif and lock? How many speeds in transmission? v/r Andy
  25. AndyCW
    I like this. I really "need" to get one of those RC units. v/r Andy
