    Id'd like to see this made into an official lego model,the bodywork is what I like best of all, and all wheel drive/steering/suspention is a nice feat for lego technic. Those buggy motors are way faster than any other lego motor shame lego dropped them.

    I'll try that too, thanks

    Sure, a lot of big lego sets such as cranes have steering, check out the instructions for technic crane sets these just use a H connector usually, and some beams, the instructions are easy to get online. Not all of them have a driven axle or suspension though s this what you want too?

    Hi This is for an F1 car and also for a modified version of the lego 8448 I'm working on the f1 car at the minute. The only possible problem (mentioned above might be: - The hole closest to the ball socket on the wishbone might stop the hub from steering when the suspension is compressed, ill see how each idea goes tomorrow, I have another idea like yours I got from somebody ages ago but that cant be built at all until I get the newer style wishbones. Thanks for the help

    I just put an axle joiner with center hole between two of these: For suspension I'm using one or two of these per wheel: (x928cx1) The bar in-between the two UV joints is so if theirs too much torque of it something jams it is just going to slide and not break the UV joint but has enough friction to work as an axle when there isn't lots of torque. i'd like to see how this thing handles when built, there's only one small problem, the wishbones might not be able let the hub pivot and turn to steer when the suspension is fully compressed so the wheels will jump if it goes over large bumps or dips.

    Yup that did the trick thanks a million ++

    Hi, I need to make a hub that attach the drive axle to the wishbones but I'm finding it hard as the spacing is not great to work with. If I make the wishbone spacing 5L instead of 4L then there will be practically no pivoting in them which means no suspension, if there 3L apart then UV joint gets squashed as gap between the wishbones does go slightly smaller than 3L when they pivot. Here is the LXF can it be done, I hope so, Regards

    For a laugh I was gonna upscale it again but twice as big but it failed

    I would also use a drive shaft, my experience with the chains have been bad as they are very bendy and come apart very easily and this is a heavy duty vehicle by the sound of it. Chains can be used with 14 tooth gears too or two of them put together even.

    Hi, Thanks again, the LXFXML trick is just a pain in the mouth to do, I wish they would fix this stupid bug In the mean time ill use that trick you posted with the brown lego plates. Thanks for everything.

    Thanks x1000

    The problem is that the grid spacing or part movement is not fine enough, 0.5L has 6 possible places it can be in in that space. so If I put two on an axle and kept moving one of them, there would be 6 places would would be in before the gap between the other one is another 1.5L I need to get it into half of one of those spaces really but even the stoppers on some axles is worth 1 space so they aren't fine enough. I'm not sure how to use this 4L lift-arm as it too does the same thing as the bush I want to get in the middle of the axle. and the lift-arm has no odd lengths on it

    No, what sort of scaffolding ? with axles or beams or bricks or?

    Hi Does anybody have an LDD trick to place a half bush in the very center of an axle?, its easier to see with 2L axle if its centered properly or not. regards
  15. SNIPE
    You can already do the above function, get an axle and put a 16 tooth clutch gear, a 20 tooth gear and finally another 16 tooth clutch gear. You don't really need two 20 tooth gears in most cases as they don't counter rotate. The 2L axle with pin you designed has something very similar to it, but it doesn't snap in like a pin would: Just take the flex hose off.

    I like how much PF stuff you get, how the doors stay closed, the levers in the cabin and how the body, boot and doors open.

    No pre-orders, sales start on lego.com in August, I'm guessing the 1st but you never know. I'm not sure if LEGO are selling to large stores such as Argos, Walmart etc

    Ok, it is in the real model, it's just awkward trying to do it in LDD on a mac. Here is my solution: I made a custom clutch which pushes the two grey 'clutch extension rings' into the gears. Note that the normal clutches will only slide a tiny bit (the axle joiners have 5 notches.) The guide plate for the gear lever stops the regular clutch from going to the two endmost notches, this means that the custom clutch doesn't need to be as wide in order to enable the gear lever to slide to the regular clutches. (Parts in pink represent the nuts and the threaded axle.) The nuts will be inside of the grey clutch extension rings which stops them from rotating independently, everything but the gears and beams holding it in place will slide around. I'll just use two half bushes in-between the two grey clutch extension rings, so the gear lever slot will be 1L.

    oh, I forgot the angle the gear lever. is this what you mean by excentric?

    Here is a picture of the issue: When it slides out of the red clutch its not going to go into the other grey ones but it needs to keep the position its in for which wheels are driven. This is just the important parts here no gears underneath this or transfer cases etc. I'm not sure I can picture the cam and lever idea can you make a model and take a picture/screenshot? I don't understand what is going on in the 8043, this seems to have three gear lever forks?

    Here is something im struggling to take apart without damage: it does make for a compact and strong diff that can support very high torque applications but nothing Im really into building would need such a thing.

    When I get mine im not going to put the stickers on it if it has some.

    That's the problem, maybe I can have the driving ring push something into the clutch of the gear instead of the driving ring moving into the gear. thing is , it wold have to be able to be pushed and pulled to disengaged and it has to stay where the driving ring put it even after the driving ring moves back from it. its to select between front rear or 4 wheel drive but I want it to have just one gear lever as its a car so

    Hi, I am making a six speed gearbox but I am having significant trouble in enabling the gear lever to slide out of the drive selector clutch and into the clutch beside it. This is fine if the drive selector is set to the middle setting as it lines up with the clutch for the gearbox but if it isnt then it wont be able to without moving back down to the middle position and changing clutches. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the detailed and clear review, Maybe they should have used a metal 16L axle or something for the stabilizers, glad it has lots of gears though :P I think I'm gonna leave this set an just get the boss crawler as it has the new curved panels and maybe the new gears anyhow. Is the B model instructions included? how many books for it?
