  1. Will the buggy motors mod be on rebrickable (for your ultimate version with the Daytona rims and wheel arches)? I know we have to mod the Konigsegg too but.. I was researching to try and find the best way to add a 4 or 6+N+R gearbox to this and thought about splicing in the mercadees AMG GT3 transmission on the rear axle but discarding it's button style shifters and keeping the original shifter mech for the pista. But its still a big gearbox. Another model I saw in my PDFs had a 4 or 6 speed (I'd have to check it again) and motorization (IIRC) but the Reverse and neutral were on a DNR selector, So we would have to move the shifter motor to be in front of the DNR selector.
  2. those parts are rare and break easily, not good for such a buge car with 3 hard springs per axle Can't we Just use a 4L axle with stop and another half bush for pete sake
  3. I'm 50/50 on this Nice part usage, but no gearbox trans clear studless engine block
  4. Fabulous
  5. One tiny mod I just done on the wishbones is move them 1L higher on one side compared to the other side, so that the wishbones are diagonal, thus improving steering. Since these wishbones are bendy plastic its probably still legal too! It looks so cool now! They They might be diagonally facing the wrong way, if so I can change that. the front axle ones will be identical instead of mirrored
  6. It’s illegal but that's Ok. No, it doesn't not stress the parts really. I get tired of people calling out illegal building techniques just because its basically a meme now... You have to resort to illegal building techniques eventually if you're a serious lego designer
  7. I copied a live early build video, but he stopped after bag 6 Anyway here it is:
  8. Great thing is with the 14z gears we can now drive axles that are spaced 1-1 Only 3-2, 3-4, etc spacing was possible before (for example with 16z+20z or 20z+24z respectively). A 10z I used to think was better but there is not a gear size that would leave 2 open pinholes pictured below free for an axle to rotate anyhow, and 14z probably has more combinations in whole unit spacing than 10z. Also there might be enough space to make a 14z clutch gear that is only 1L thick instead of 2L.
  9. I built the gearbox, it only shifted 8 positions then when I put the third section of it that goes behind the axle on it only shifted 3 times But that's Ok, its just there so I can start adding the rear adjustable ride height. I did make some tiny mods on the gearbox like 2 rubber bands per stepper mechanism and the reddish orange rollers are now on frictionless pins. The color vomit IS very nice though, it reminds me of the gearboxes in set 42070 but on steroids
  10. It's just because the doors and frunk can be closed after activating ghost mode, but also even more cleverly, you can open the doors independently and the frunk independently if the engine cover is not open. Oh yeah I forgot to mention that my modded set will definitely use as many black parts, including rare stuff rather than the existing colour vomit. I also want to mske the gearbox more compact. I tried this custom shifter fork but while it works with the shifter drums, it only meshes with the 3L clutch rings and not the 2L clutch rings. Sadly the custom shift forks would have been better as the axles they slide on can still rotate for the gearbox speeds. Maybe we can think of a similar shift fork idea that uses pin holes and not frictionless axle holes and that works with the 2L drive rings
  11. 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)
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. Oh, I didn't know it was that easy!
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. 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.
  19. 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
  20. Fabulous! Even trying to make a 6 or 8 speed gearbox makes my head spin
  21. 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.
