    I did not know, that they send packages directly from Poland... Either way, polish post sucks, I fully agree.

    When do you plan to air next episode?
  3. keymaker
    I won't tell no, but it can be tricky. PF servo is 1 stud shorter than PU L motor.

    I made some additions to this MOC, small trailer and foldable crane. Both are available on rebrickable for free. They will fit to the most of small scale models. I made a video for short presentation. Trailer features: • live axle with suspension • openable crate for tools • lockable, liftable and foldable support for undisturbed ground clearance Crane features: • compact size when retracted • located on platform with lockable and foldable supports • three separately operated sections • rope on drum with lock • full 360 degree movement with stabilizer Building instructions Crane: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-114764/keymaker/foldable-crane/#details Building instructions Trailer: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-114766/keymaker/small-trailer/#details

    You broke the system! :D All parts on your list are not available on PaB. But if they sent you them, so there is a chance they will be available to order soon.

    PaB pack ordered 30.05.2022, sent not sure when but received today so 14.06.2022. It is pretty fast as for our post office :P No new frames unfortunately but I got some parts I also wanted.
  7. keymaker
    Same date of order like you, but my order was sent couple days ago. So I am waiting.

    New system is indeed tedious and frustrating. I deal with it by looking for based on number of part or number of set where the part is and then sorting by price from the highest. Because part I am looking for are usually the most expensive parts from the set.

    You lucky bastard. I did the same but 2nd March and all I got is order lost in system
  11. keymaker
    "Lost in the system" is official answer I got from them, they weren't even able to recover list of ordered items. What was the truth? Who knows. @astyanax I just checked date of my order, it was also placed 2nd MARCH...So maybe they really had some hard times with servers that day. It is a little too much for coincidence.
  12. keymaker
    Same here, I was very pissed that they lost my order and now no frames for me.
  13. keymaker
    Make sure if you order will be ever shipped... I had the same problem with my order. I contacted them and it turns out they lost my order in the system ;/ I lost the chance to get nice parts before this break period and whole new system introduction.

    Great! So many times I needed it in black.
  15. keymaker
    Did I missed something from official photos?? Those new gears are new ones or some custom made?
  16. keymaker
    I wonder, if red ones are softer, because blue ones are crazy hard.

    I am not a Ferrari fan (Lambo forever! :D) but I have to say it looks very nice, especially with those asymmetrical rims.

    I did not try it on Chevrolet and I do not intend to do so. Major changes would be needed in chassis to fit this new axle and the Chevrolet is finished model (but some more additions will be available in future). Using CV joints make this axle not PF servo friendly. And this version of axle, atrough it works like a charm, it has a flaw pointed out by @gyenesvi. I have something in me from perfectionist (at least from mechanical point of view, because creating bodies of MOCs is different story :P) so I couldn't live with this flaw and I already redesigned this version and removed the drawback, and not only that. New version will be used in next MOC from Snowrunner series. I tried in Chevrolet a new approach, creating a live axle which is suspended indirectly, by creating suspension on linkages and reducing necessary connections only to four. Also this new approach, without involving shock absorbers, is very compact, but, as everything, it also has some cons which now I am more aware of.

    Don't worry, there are limiters there, even visible on render.
  20. keymaker
    Exactly. Maybe it is not clearly visible on photo, but yes, those rubber parts do their job pretty well. Arm who holds the axle is suspended, not the axle itself.
  21. keymaker
    It is not the most rigid of my axles, but still when assembled is stable and more rigid than it looks like. And yes, one of the main features is ground clearance, so I wouldn't like to go below the axle level.
  22. keymaker
    I am happy you took a challenge :) I still haven't designed axle with satisfying linkage steering, but maybe I should try harder and look at your example. Yes, it has... So the pivot point is great, but steering angle is smaller due to CV joints and additionally presence of anti-Ackermann geometry. Maybe it is not so important in such a small and rather slow truck, but still...back to drawing board. Part 92907 is a great part and I have seen usage of it in many nice axles. That is why I have tried it as soon as I put my hands on Ford Mustang and new 30mm rims. Unfortunately it doesn't fit, so it cannot be used in such way :( Below you can see the core of my axle, half a stud is a must. Shock absorbers can be placed as below, but I would prefer solution I used in Chevrolet visible on last photo (just above rear wheel). Thanks to that you can limit amount of connections to axle. This solution is also very space saving one.

    @Mechbuilds That wasn't the plan, but I have to admit you forced me to do this sooner than later. So here I am :D After one longer evening of tinkering I prepared front axle with I would say almost perfect pivot point in this scale (just one stud from the center of the wheel). It has couple other upgrades vs axle from Chevrolet, but the most important thing is location of pivot point. I am so happy that I am almost dare to challenge others to come up with better geometry in this size and still keep axle driven. But, here are some renders. I did not test it in any MOC, but I built it in real life of course and it is solid and works great. @gyenesvi You mentioned, that you also need small driven front axle, maybe this one above will be useful solution for you? :)
  24. keymaker
    Thanks! My next MOC won't be from Snowrunner series (but the next one after it will), because I going to test new parts. Chevrolet has already delivered them

    I am familiar with his channel. I watched him a lot during creation of 1968 Dodge Charger (btw I even bought instructions and still gathering strength to go to buy over 50 L shaped panels for the body :P). I need to consider joining discord. I know how proper geometry of front axle should look like. I just sacrificed it for other priorities. But in next model it would be easy to move pivot point one stud closer to the center of the rim (removing "disk brakes") or even two studs closer (if I will decide to change cardans for CV jonts and limit steering angle because of that change - I will lose some angle, but it will be easier to prepare nice front part of the body - decisions, decisions :)).I am also aware of positive/negative caster, toe in/out and camber angle, but those things are rather unavailable in this scale.
