Just a quick update for my 8XL Bugatti.
I know it has been almost a year after the first update, but I have not stop updating and keep building.
But sadly, my computer is broken. The LDD save is gone until i fix my computer.
Although I have some of the backup file in my Macbook , the file is like a few week ago and Mac version of LDD does not support developer mode (no hitting box), I can't continue my build until I really fix my computer.
Or I hope someone found a way to use developer mode in Mac version of LDD.
Here is the progress report.
First of it i want to motion about is 99% of the MOC build is using LEGO, just only a few parts and pf(s) are not made by lego.
And they are:
The 4 white&black wheel arches which TLG does not have this colours.
The 4 Red wheel which TLG does not have this colours.
The PFs, I am living in Hong Kong, buying official PFs is expensive like hell here specially i have 8 XL and lots of other things in this build.
And this is it. All Lego.
8x XL 12:20 (0.6) drivetrain - works fine, but i only test a few mins, no slack. last time i have write the radio wrong. XD
1x Servo for turning - works well
2x M for the Door / Pneumatic Dynamic Suspension control - Not working, problem solving in the latest LDD save but....1x M for the w16 engine - works well1x L for the Pneumatic air power - works well1x Servo for the "Pneumatic Driven Clutch Brakes & Pneumatic Rear Spoiler Control & Door / Pneumatic Dynamic Suspension control" switch - works well, but have problem with Pneumatic Driven Clutch Brakes.
Problem with Pneumatic Driven Clutch Brakes, it does not activity as expert, once the clutch is in engaged in, they will not engage out and start slacking. Even it is not on engaging ! wtf !
Still trying to fix it, the worst of this is give up the Pneumatic Driven Clutch Brake, just straight out the drivetrain to the wheel.
Pneumatic Rear Spoiler Control & Door / Pneumatic Dynamic Suspension control - works well Pneumatic Dynamic Suspension - Built, not yet tested
Let's see some of the wip photo.

And here is video of the old version testing, i guess everyone want to see it...
Also the album of the very first building photo of this MOC build. Here.
I hope i can fix my computer asap.
And yes i know, 8 XL is crazy as F, and i know there is no reason to using 8 XL.
But... I just want to do it. This is the reason. I know it maybe 99% will be useless and fail but i am happy why the building, this is enough for me.
But still, thanks for all the replies and suggestion! I like all you guys! I am so happy that have so many people like me like Lego Technic, specially i am in Hong Kong. I am almost alone.
