Hmm I don't think so. Non-motorized sets can still use the older style CV-joints, as the Ford GT shows... For me, this is maybe a nice parts pack for DGB parts. Nothing more, nothing less.

Dito. I think it is way "easier" for the user to has access to a control of angle steps instead of these insides of motor management. This would also be cool for e.g. robots with step motions of arms or sort of. Still I hope somebody will join my request as it broadens the use :-)

Hmm seeing this, it looks like black... which would be really strange considering the many black sets last year... it definetly be DBG:

Hmm ok, then the module won't work for my gearbox, as it is connected to a wormgear and a 20:12, meaning 1080° for EACH of the four gears :-/ Edit: Could you implement a selector for "Individual Gearbox", where the steps (in °) and the number of gears can be selected individually?

Okay version is now updated and running, took 3 restarts of App/Buwizz. Maybe I got time tomorrow to tinker with the gearbox module, but right now, I can only change the PID, but I'd rather have control over how much gears I use and at which angle to change these :D

Strange, I participated and updated the firmware... no gearbox module...?

Is there already a date for the official version? :-)

And what a model this is! Somebody did a 42114 shrinking recently, sadly I can't find the thread :-/

For the shrinking contest: Should there be a restriction in terms of: "Selected model to shrink should have at least 1000 pieces" or "Shrinked model should have a max of 50% of the original pieces"? The second restriction is maybe to harsh, as you need many pieces to maintain the functions...

10: 10 11: 6 5: 4 1: 3 3: 2 2: 1

Gratz @GTS! It's a proud feeling that the Mocs get appreciated

Sadly I could not participate in the last TCs due to time... But I am all for this idea! And if you choose a big flagship with 4000 parts, even shrinking would mean 1000 parts or more. These are not small builds!

Is it known when the update with the gearbox module will be released?

@efferman's solution works (blue 3l liftarm goes to blue pin connector)

Can you show you pic again? (resize it to 1024x1024)

Cool model @Jurss :-) The monster trucks in the 60295 are have only the rubber connectors as "shocks", would it maybe be possible to use only 1 soft shock absorber on each axle and use the connectors somehow to keep the axle leveled? But then again, it would look silly :D

Thanks, Igor :-) It rarely happens that a single panel (rear hood) fit so well, but it works fine for me in this case. As always, I try to keep the number of system bricks to a minimum. The exhaust will get two black 2x4 slope pieces, it really is hard to get right, @mktechniccreations did it very neatly in his torion :D

Hi guys, just want to give an update as now I am on the way for finishing touches and ordering some bricks in the right colours. The pneumatic function works, but I really hope the Buwizz3 update will be able to support this kind of gearbox to switch between: - main arm lift - tilting - clamp 1 (right haystack) - clamp 2 (left haysteck)

Beautiful! Just have to love this scale, as you may included all the functions for the upcoming Lego set with 1/3 of the pieces :D Did you build it in bricks and can show some pictures? Where did you hide the actuator knob for the front blade? :-P

It really depends what you are aiming for. A normal 4 speed gearbox is fairly easy to realize with technic. Couple that with a Hi/Lo selector and a forward/reverse and you got 8 gears forward and 8 gears backwards. If you really want to get close to the real model, you should check the gear ratios. For the U5023 you can find this: So you have the standard gears AND the working gears. In my opinion: It really doesn't make any sens to include that much gears into the system. Any advantage in the gear ratios is already lost by friction. My advise is to stick with the option I mentioned first.

Whoa! I didn't expect that it could look this cool! Especially with the chrome exhaust, nice job!

Ah ok I think then I got the problem wrong. You can maybe go with plate modified and use 15100 on the panel. Then go with 3L bar and 1 1/4 stud friction pin or somthing like that:

Just with 1+1/2 pins? Or is there an offset of 1/2 stud from the pin holes? Hmm it's hard to see, can you show from above?

7L half stud beam?

I really hope we can not only make a 90° turn of the motor, but can select indipendently. Same goes for the calibration, this really is kind of strange...
