SNIPE

Hi, Since I and others have already started talking about modding the 42232 Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear. I decided to make a slightly early topic so we can start reverse engineering and planning/discussing potential or real MODs. Some things I would like: Adjustable ride height by using 7L gear racks and 1L worm gear (I'm working on this already) Spoiler adjustment via lever in cockpit Angled steering wheel and paddle shifters, which turn with the steering wheel HOG dial for gear change HOG dial for steering Brick built headlights Trans red tail lights (instead of just red) Aesthetic improvements to bodywork and interior front fans and rear turbos spin when we drive it pink 92947 with metallic silver round tiles used for air filters on the exhaust system And for a totally different MOD project: RC drive using C+ or PF RC steering using C+ or PF RC ride height adjustment using C+ or PF RC gear change (maybe with a CADA/buwizz micromotor) RC doors opening (maybe with a CADA/buwizz micromotor) RC engine cover opening (maybe with a CADA/buwizz micromotor) RC front trunk opening (maybe with a CADA/buwizz micromotor)

What's that orange part? looks like an orange tile but it isn't listed on the PAB or brickset inventory (at 13:15) edit: never mind its one of the two trans red 1x4 tiles

6L uncompressed

Yeah I was just about to say.. They should have just made a thin disc brake that fits over the Y pattern on technic 3 pin hubs, because of the shape it will mesh with the disc brake, but will work on any 3 pin wheel hub part it still keeps the whole pin 1L section clear for wheels etc. I think I know of a particular eurobricks user who can make such a disc, so we can use it with the audi wheel hubs One problem would be that it would slide too far in on these hubs SO, the disc brake should have 3 holes that accept the stud on a stud pin which clamps the disc brake onto any 6 hole wheel (3 holes for the stud pins , 3 holes for the wheel hub pins). Yes, it has 3 holes but also the Y shaped cutout

I hope we get a big BIG yellow mobile crane mkIII Use some technic baseplates in yellow sideways to pack a mega compex drive+function gearbox in, maybe use dark bluish gray vespa wheels and tyres use black XL and L linear actuators.like set 42215 did. give each axle steering suspension and a reinforced differential Give it better 2 stage outriggers than set 42009

Oh, I didn't know it was that easy!

Sorry to bump an old thead, but in this video We get a tiny look at legos in house software, Lego Digital Designer Pro: IDK why they did not use STUDIO, but maybe one day LEGO will release this LDD pro to the public

I forgot to mention how amazing this prototype gearbox is, using the technic base-plates but also a load of other interesting parts... This is super minimal - like something I would built, using 16L axles and the 2L pin with bush to connect the 11L flip flop beam and then the 3x3 biscuit connector. I thought the DNR selector just used 2 of the orange gearbox forks , where the DNR lever just moves 2 of them which are offset on the axles but statically (unlike the image above) which allows both of the 3L clutch rings to move as they need to. but I guess there's a black new part we have not seen yet instead that handles it

Hi, I got more into physical system building rather than LDCAD recently and always wanted to replicate the railways where I walk past when hiking, it will later be part of my Lego city. Of course I'm a perfectionist so I knew years ago that I would have to use a larger scale than 4 or 6 wide track. I played around with neck brackets along with rail ppates for a while but later realized that you can make flexible (albeit illegal) roads by interlacing tiles and plates. This was way better than trying to make a super fine array of studs that was not only notnin system but also not symmetrical always and just hope to be able to angle the rail plates this way without having gaps or misalignment for the rails. The image is actually smaller than standard gauge but you get the idea. I will start with 7 wide because I like the big UCS hogwarts express and the track for that is 7 wide. I also have 2 orient express trains that I want to convert to 7 wide (just the wheel spacing unless that looks weird). After trying plates on some brick 1x1 with studs on opposite sides, which was too big or small with +/- 1 plate, I tried plates instead and this matched the 7 wide tooted rails used on the hogwarts express perfectly, but it also kept the compatibility with my flex track system, which must use plates and tiles to work. I tested 3 sizes of trail wheels and they all work now, the smallest size has a little play but I was using a custom technic bogie for them rather than the specialized train wheel holder brick (which only works with 6 wide track. Obviously I had to take into account the exact track spacing, not just where on a plate the track is placed (i.e the rough spacing). I can also test the smallest train wheels I own shortly, the wheel spacing can be changed by using mini-fig utensil rings, half bushes, etc in different combinations but I decided to keep my bogies simple for now. This idea would even work with a train motor. Here's a table showing some of the integer gauges I have in mind that use my SNOT track: In L: In P: In L: In P: Clear spacing: 0L 0P Clear spacing: 1L 2.5P Overall spacing: 2L 5P Overall spacing: 3L 7.5P Near-side to far-side: 1L 2.5P Near-side to far-side: 2L 5P Far-side to near-side: 1L 2.5P Far-side to near-side: 2L 5P In L: In P: In L: In P: Clear spacing: 2L 5P Clear spacing: 3L 7.5P Overall spacing: 4L 10P Overall spacing: 5L 12.5P Near-side to far-side: 3L 7.5P Near-side to far-side: 4L 10P Far-side to near-side: 3L 7.5P Far-side to near-side: 4L 10P In L: In P: In L: In P: Clear spacing: 4L 10P Clear spacing: 5L 12.5P Overall spacing: 6L 15P Overall spacing: 7L 17.5P Near-side to far-side: 5L 12.5P Near-side to far-side: 6L 15P Far-side to near-side: 5L 12.5P Far-side to near-side: 6L 15P In L: In P: In L: In P: Clear spacing: 6L 15P Clear spacing: 7L 17.5P Overall spacing: 8L 20P Overall spacing: 9L 22.5P Near-side to far-side: 7L 17.5P Near-side to far-side: 8L 20P Far-side to near-side: 7L 17.5P Far-side to near-side: 8L 20P In L: In P: In L: In P: Clear spacing: 8L 20P Clear spacing: 9L 22.5P Overall spacing: 10L 25P Overall spacing: 11L 27.5P Near-side to far-side: 9L 22.5P Near-side to far-side: 10L 25P Far-side to near-side: 9L 22.5P Far-side to near-side: 10L 25P And here is a table comparing it to the toothed lego track, as well as the regular lego 4 wide and 6 wide track pieces: Aproximate gauge (rounded up/down): Spacing between 1x2 rail plate (SNOT Track): Spacing between toothed 1x16 track: 4 wide lego track: 6 wide lego track: 0L (Clear Spacing) 0P 0P (0 LDU) N/A N/A 1L (Clear Spacing) 2.8P 2.84P (22.72 LDU) N/A N/A 2L (Clear Spacing) 5.6P 5.68P (45.44 LDU) N/A N/A 3L (Clear Spacing) 8.4P 8.52P (68.16 LDU) N/A N/A 4L (Clear Spacing) 11.2P 11.36P (90.88 LDU) 6.094P (48.75 LDU) N/A 5L (Clear Spacing) 14.0P 14.2P (113.6 LDU) N/A N/A 6L (Clear Spacing) 16.8P 17.04P (136.32 LDU) N/A 11.094P (88.75 LDU) 7L (Clear Spacing) 19.6P 19.88P (159.04 LDU) N/A N/A 8L (Clear Spacing) 22.4P 22.72P (181.76 LDU) N/A N/A 9L (Clear Spacing) 25.2P 25.56P (204.48 LDU) N/A N/A 10L (Clear Spacing) 28.0P 28.40P (227.20 LDU) N/A N/A 11L (Clear Spacing) 30.8P 31.24P (249.92 LDU) N/A N/A The good thing about my SNOT track system is it is super customizable, but it can also be used to create all sorts of track configurations, some easier than others of course. It can do inclines, declines, curves, and more! I will add other track gauges as replies to this thread, such as 8 wide, 5 wide, etc Whats also possible is non integer gauges, which isn't even than crazy if you consider than my SNOT track is "using" (P)late units anyhow, and not (L)ength units. The biggest take away really is that my SNOT track is not quite matching the spacing of the toothed track, the data in the spreadsheets is approximate, but the 3 wheel sizes all work, and this 7+7 plate spacing between the 1x2 rail plates also means the flexible track idea will work, this that is based on plate (and tile, but same thing) units.

Nah it was his axle I used, but it's fine, I'm using the tilting cabin design too as I mentioned in his mod thread, because thwas was one feature I was not looking forward to designing myself before

Fabulous! Even trying to make a 6 or 8 speed gearbox makes my head spin

Cool, thx! 😊

progress so far: Need to replace the steering on both axles with a gear rwck and spur gear. Steering axle goes thru the black 16 tooth idler gear. Central diff lock is improved. Hard shocks on the rear soft shocks on the front. Reinforced differentials Small linear actuator for dumping, and 2 medium linear actuators will be used in place of the 2 pneumatic cylinders and their gearing will run thru the turntable so that the function hog dials are on the side of the truck. The small actuator now uses 2 black 12 tooth single bevel gears so that they don't accidentally mesh with the rear steering racks spur gear.

You might want to try this: https://marian42.de/gears/?seq=14,64 https://marian42.de/gears/?seq=18,64 Click the 'edit gear sequence tab, then click on the links saying: 4.875 units or 4.5 ✕ 2 5.125 units or 5 ✕ 1 This is only for whole and half spacing, not technic brick spacing but should be good enough. Sariels video does not show half spacing, more than 2 gear combinations, and his web tool/app does not allow for custom gear sizes except on the app, but that only is for the ratio and not the gear coupler/

Hi, This new forum platform is working fine, however there is one thing I would like (and another small thing) I would like to see an extra edit button at the bottom of each post (including replies) because scrolling up can be a pain sometimes when its a long post, on mobile, or if I'm trying to edit a post and still glance at another reply for reference. The edit button can be next to the quote button I guess, no need for another '...' button there. The other small thing is for it to jump to the exact reply if someone replies to a thread. It shows the notification and pop up msgbox fine, but clicking the msgbox only refreshes the post, instead of going to the actual new reply. Hope other people find this useful!

its not pictured, but there's also one in the GWP EDIT: oh maybe not

close up or the new parts So, this is what I can make out: new wheel left new wheel right new wishbone short hard spring long hard spring shift drum yellow shift drum red 9 pos stepper wheel 14T gear 18T clutch gear 8T clutch gear wheel hub inner half wheel hub outer half 5x5 curved round corner panel 5L female reinforced CV joint ???9 pos paddle shift element??? however there is 19 new parts apparently, this is only 16

I thought this was good, until I noticed it does indeed have an 8 speed gearbox, then I knew it was incredible!

Can we get a list of the confirmed new parts?

*woo*👻

Very Nice, I will use these for my MOD.

Soo, how is this latching the 9 tooth stepper drums, I see some white rubber bands and thin 5L liftarms

Anyone noticed the darker gray looking knob wheel opposite the gear indicator is not in the same rotation as the LBG 45 degree knob wheel, but its also not at 90 degree increments either

Day 1 buy for me :D New gears new shocks new shifter elements new love I'm surprised the gearbox is still so big though! it goes in front of and behind the rear axle. Considering we have more.compact 8 speed gearboxes in MOCs
