    lovely build with plenty of details!

    Hi guys, the video is finally here. Let me know what you think.

    Thanks! Don't you mean front axle? This system was not ideal but since buwizz blocks any other way for the drive shaft to pass, it was the only way to do it. It works fine though.

    Thanks guys! I have some good news: syclone is currently making a LDD file for this car, so it will be possible to build this car in the future.

    After a long and difficult builing proces, the project is finally done. The project started in early may, when I created a WIP topic here on EB. In the end, I set the bar a little bit too high as I was not able to get all the desired features inside. Audi S3 quattro Specs: - Dimensions: 44x19x14 studs (L x W x H) - Weight: 1300g - Estimated part count: 1800 parts - 4 PF motors Features: - Opnable doors and bonnet - Ajustable seats (2x HOGs) - All wheel/quattro drive with three differentials (2x PF L motors) - Steering (PF Servo Motor) - 4 Speed sequential gearbox (PF servo motor) - BuWizz 2.0 Power - Complete detailed interior with no mechanics/electrics visible I tried to use as many panels as possible which is IMO essential to get the best looking bodywork. This model consists of 45 technic panels. The stepper mechanism (located underneath the roofspoiler) used for the gear shifting is increadibly simple and works very well. The chassis is very stiff. the car can easily be lifted from the roof without damaging anything. To open the bonnet, you need to tilt and pull it at the same time. The LBG pin/axle connector slides trough the 5L axle with stop when you pull the bonnet. This system was necessary, beceause othewise the bonnet would have interference with the dashboard. Like in most of my other builds, I pay a lot of attention to the interior. I never want mechanisms visible or motors inside. You will find many details in the interior, like a handbrake, steering wheel, gear lever and door handles. When you pull the red part in the center up, the buwizz turns on/off. Too bad that the center dail which is placed upside down though. The seats can be ajsuted forwards and backwards by rotating the tan 20th gear. It is a very simple setup consting of a few gears, a worm screw and a 1x7 technic gearrack on which the seats are mounted. The building proces may be very interesting to read (if you have not seen it yet). Many interisting ideas and suggestions were posted that are not shown in this model. For instance, it should originally feature (air)suspension, but due to the airleaks and absence of differentials, it couldn't take corners propelry enough. Thanks to everyone who helped me with this build! You can check it out here: I wanted to make a video of it today, but my buwizz onstantly cut off power so give me a few more days... I won't make instructions, beceause I am busy working on intructions of another model which I will show this year as well. I hope you like it. Comments, feedback and constructive critisism are as always highly appreciated!

    Funny little car. I almost thought the video speed was modified. I think you could have done a better job on the front fender though.
  9. T Lego
    Congrats! I realy love those wheels.
  10. T Lego
    With a locked diff, the turning radius also depends on the amount of space inbetween the wheels and the width of the tires. Rmp difference increases when both become larger and so will the turning circle.
  11. T Lego
    XD thanks! The microleaks in the cylinders probably caused the leaks and therefore the car sinks.. I also used the old type, which could be a reason too.
  12. T Lego
    looks great! I love how you isolated the interior from the chassis by covering everything up.
  13. T Lego
    Thanks for your feedback! Regarding the suspension: I cried out loud as well and I realy did not expect diffs were so important. I had to make a compromise here and I think I made the right decission. Thanks! Yes it can shift gears while driving - It is very satisfying. I saw that your dual diagonal drivetrain off roader does the same thing, so you probably know what I am talking about.

    Thanks for your suggestion. I have tested it with flat silvere, the only collor together with lime green that is not too expensive. The reslut did not look great, so I'll leave the fenders in the way they are. Update: -finished rear bodywork section -stiffened the chassis -openable bonnet I will have to order some parts to finish this car and perhabs I'll tweek some areas slightly. The final model has: -AWD with 3 differentails - 2x L motor -Steering - Servo motor -4 speed seqential gearbox - Servo motor -Ajutable seats - manually operated by 20th gear behind the seats -Openable doors and bonnet I hope you guys like it. I am not sure if there is demand for instructions, so let know so I can decide if it is worth the time and effort. have a great weekend!

    It is very fun to see you struggle with the same things as I do in this scale. What are your PF plans? Which motors will you use and how many? btw I can strongly advice you to use chiron selectors for the gearbox. If you place them above the driving rings, you can connect them using 4 16th gears very easily and in a compact way. Perhabs you can use this PF lay out: Next to the fake engine are two L motors powering the fake engine. The servo is mounted above the gearbox facing to the side of the car. The blue mark is where you can place a stepper. Orange is where your chiron selectors connect.

    I am glad my cars gave you some inspiration. Interesting progress already. I am definitley going to study that front axle. Is it based on the floating diff concept?
  17. T Lego
    I realy like what you are doing here. The gearbox looks great! Like Nico said, the bodywork looks a bit bulky. The bonnet is a bit too flat and I think It should be inclined more when I look at the counterpart. Good luck!

    Update: I have made some progress on the bodywork. the front looks better than before. I also got advice to switch the wite wedge plate, on which the headlights are placed, to a black one. IMO it looks a lot sharper, but I am not satisfied with the lights itself. Sadly though, the bonnet can't be opened, but there is'n anything interesting underneath it so it is not that bad. Am I not sure about the fenders yet. They don't look that 'round'. The 14L flex axle would look perfect, but that part is too expensive to use and 16L is not available in white. Does anyone have a suggestion here? I also placed the fenders a half stud closer to the wheels and it looks much better. Finally, I made a mayor decision regarding the axles. I decided it would be best to have differentials anyways, beceause the cornering performance was just to bad on smooth surfaces. I had to give up the suspension for this . When I started this project I realy did not expect that diffs would play such big role at this scale, but I learned my lesson - the hard way. Have a great day!

    Absolutely stunnig!!

    Update on the bodywork: I basically spent the entire weekend building. I know I'm weird. This time went up in de design of the bonnet, but I am still not satisfied. There is something 'wrong' with the shape of the front but I can't figure out what causes the awkward look (especially from the front-side view). The roof will obviously be built in white as well, but I don't have those panels in white. I know that the body part in front of the door is messy, but it is just some experimental building to fill the ugly gap. I do realy like the look from above, because the lines flow very well. Especially the black soft axle with the panels on the bonnet. I hope to get some feedback on the bodywork. Perhabs someone here can spot the design mistake in the front.

    Thanks for the tip! I will take a look at it

    Hi everyone! I made some improvements on the drivetrain and chassis and I test drove the car on some loose surface. It behaved very well and gear shifting was an absolute joy! Of course it won't turn in too smooth but I accept the overall performance. Update: -Improved drivetrain - Better gear shifting (with chain) -New DBG seats -Adjustable seat mechanism -Bodywork: Grill, bumper, door Here you can see the new grill, fender and headlights. Here is the first door design. I am very satisfied with it. It is built primarily using panels and flex axles. It can also be opened. I also managed to place a seat mechanism in the car. The seats will move forwards and backwards by turing the black 20th gear. In my pervious audi's the seats sort of 'blend' in the interior which meant they were not realy visible. To avoid that in this car, I made them in dark bluish gray. I'd love to know your thoughts. Suggestions for the car a as always very welcome!!!

    I understand that, but I don't want to go off-scale. Even If I would make it two studs wider everything still wouldn't fit.
  24. T Lego
    Looks awesome and thanks for sharing! Some sort of setup is what I am looking for. Unfortunately though, that setup is 2 studs too wide and even if I'd place the toggle joints two studs inwards (which also means lowering it one stud), It would still be to bulky. Especially on the front axle where I still have to incorporate the servo Motor. This axle issue gives me serious headaches....
  25. T Lego
    Yeah and it sucks. Especially since I cannot imagine this car, when keeping the same functionality and size, with diffs. There is not a single independent suspension setup that is, with these wheels, 19 sutds wide. There only is a something like a 'floating differential axle' which is narrow enough, but the overal setup is still way to big. I realy need to figure a way out to solve this...
