    i;m not sure if I should link it as the set is not released yet. its a blue and white F1 car basically.
  2. SNIPE
    yes, the set is called lego infinity saga whiplash race face off.

    Half bushes in red spotted in set 76250!!!

    I'm busy getting the part together to build my CADA red supercar, but in LEGO parts I already own. I hope to add working shifter paddles, but because of the dust involved when just organizing the parts let along building then modding it, I can't promise anything.

    Yeah unfortunetley those 2x2 elcows are slightly smaller in diameter than 2x2L , the only part I could find in black which looks good was the small slick tires 50945 and 30028. I used them to make straight pipes which connect to the elbows, but it was a scale building MOC not a technic MOC

    It might be easier to parrelel park however, after all these vehicles in real life have to tow cars that are parked in narrow spaces and such. IDK why, but whenever I see a tow truck I think of cars being reposessed, not if they have broken down, but these trucks are used for both situations. Here is my progress so far, I think I can get away with fitting springs because rubber beams are more like shock absorbers than springs and are too mushy: I could not find the new 10290 tires so I replicated having them doubled up by just overlapping the wider tires. I also did the same with the 15L alternating beams to mimic two 11L alternating beams. Still a load of work to do as nothing is properly connected as you can see. Those white connectors will be a life saver for small steering, and I may also just use the springs axle as the steering pivot for the 4th axle. They also hold the CV joints in place and I will clamp the CV joints in. The yellow 1x1 beams are just place holders for some sort of yellow conneceetor/beam because im not sure how they will end up connecting to the chassis yet.

    Yeah, a few years ago making this full RC would have been impossible, but thanks to new parts, it may be possible now (but stil hard). I forgot to mention that the fuel tanks will be a motor but with system parts around it which disguise it as a fuel tank.

    It's that time again Post modding ideas below, Here are my ideas (LDCAD pictures will follow soon) Modded version A: Suspension with small travel using springs placed over axles Steered 4th axle Three outrigger modes: one side only, one end only, or all at once. Front Differential Differential on suspended axle but in a way that does not move the suspended wheels if they are raised, and that does not also cut off drive to the 3rd and 4th axle. I could add steering on all axles as well as suspension but I have done this to almost ever model anyhow and I dont think it makes sense for something like this. Modded version B: Full Power functions with pneumatics replaced with mechanical counterparts. RC using buwizz 2.0 LEDs Regards, Snipe

    YES!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dual diffs :)

    This is awesome And I love the brick built technic style minifig.

    Speaking of new wheels/tires: It looks like these are just screwed in and the wheel just does over a plastic peg with a threaded hole in the center. They are duplo but im a purist and so im ok with forking out money on expensive parts on bricklink if I can use them creativley. Video of bike showing the screws: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWmlpPY2YmE SO, these could possibly fit over some sort of technic part and they are avilable in a few different colors: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=dupmc3pb01#T=C&C=1 https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=dupmc3pb06#T=C&C=11 https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=dupmc3pb07#T=C&C=153 https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=dupmc3pb03#T=C&C=5 https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=dupmc3pb04#T=C&C=7 https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=dupmc3pb05#T=C&C=153 https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=dupmc3pb08#T=C&C=155 https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=dupmc3pb02#T=C

    I kinda dunno why they didnt use 68325 and some round tiles for the fake fuel tanks, it looks better.
  15. SNIPE
    I wonder about that 3x4 square hole in the top down view.

    So just to recap: Drive Steering Fake engine Opening doors Opening engine cover Winch A Winch B Winch quick release/ratcheters Wheel grabber fork Wheel grabber main boom Boom extention Boom elevation Turntable rotation Side outriggers Rear outriggers Fake engine (moving) Axle lift Pneumatic pump for the pnumatic functions INCREDIBLE

    Did anyone notice the 3x2 beam with all pinholes on the front wishbones?. they are conneceted to a 1x2 cross block by a black pin 2L with bush.
  18. SNIPE
    I think I get it now thanks
  19. SNIPE
    Can someone clarify these "new" narrow tyres, I thought we alread got those for the london bus

    I think I'm getting somewhere, I decided to abandon linkages like in the link above because they take up space and because the stupid blades have the pin holes in a stupid orientation which makes it hard to mount especically if you wanna do variable pitch. I used some "exotic" parts to do this such as x1 50018a, x3 32138, 11010 , and x3 24014 . This way does not use pushing and pulling, but rather relies purley on rotation. I think I will have to replace the regular 12 too double bevel gear with a 20 tooth clutch gear and use clutch rings, so that the blade rotation is on the axle and the blade pitch is using the clutch rings I can replace the 32138 with cross blocks and then attach the blades with easy to remove 32054's sothat the blades can still fold up. That's all for today.
  21. SNIPE
    Yes,

    In regards, to my old reply here on adding tilting blades like the real thing: My old idea worked, but it would also slide the parts around on the axle and it there was too much friction in several places. So I am working on a new way to do it, but getting it small like before is tricky. I tried sliding the wheel hub instead of the axle, but then it gets pulled to tilt the blades and pushed to flatten them instead of vice versa, and i'm not sure how to attach this to the housing of the pods too. There have been blade pitch mechanism done in the past but they are all too big. :/ I am considering using the fairly new 50018a minifig weapon with 3 bars, and adding frictionless pins to them, which will allow the connectinrs hoding the blades to pivot. I'll hopefully find a solution and post it here.

    It would be cool if you could choose to have x amount of gears stacked on one virtual axle then y amount of gears stacked on another virtual axle. The axles can be spaced as multiples of plates or multiples of half beams. But then you have to start handling gear combinations that will jam up. But at least that will teach people about simple and compound gear trains, ratios, and if they will jam or not. Example: On axle A I could have a 12 tooth gear On axle B I could have a 20 tooth gear then a 12 tooth gear On axle C I could have a 20 tooth gear. The axles are spaced 1L apart. I could also however have them on 4 axles all in series rather than as a compound gear train.

    Honestly, there usually is not a day that goes by where I need a proper 1x1 liftam thin, if such a part existed I would be a happy man because I could have more part combinations on a 3L pin (for example) without having to replace the pin with a3L axle and using s half bush, or using a 3L pin with a minifig utensil ring, which only works if theres also a stop on pin or axle because the stop + 1 plate thick minifig utensil ring = 0.5L.
