    @syclone You've done it now, i have started playing around with with 4 wheel steering tech for the past 2 hours because of you @LvdH Happy to hear that. Due to the transverse engine layout of the NSX the transmission is also transverse. Because of that the transmission is different from the transmission system I am using in my other builds, and a bit more complicated. But out of all my designs it is still the smoothest drivetrain, there is not a single bevel gear used

    @syclone yeas its a shame there are no smaller cylinder blocks, the engine is quite big, even for this scale. I didn't even know some 180sx came with HICAS as well But I dont think it would be a good Idea to try to implement it. First of all there are the problems you already mentioned, and second I dont think HICAS is really helpful with drifting I think I could make 4WD what is always active, but that would look weird especially on a drift car.

    @zoo I didn't even consider swapping an LS because I want to keep my MOC cars somewhat period-correct. Since the Type X was a Japan exclusive, I dont think there were many LS swaps done to this car in the 90's Since the SR20DET is a great engine with lots of tunig potential I decided to stick with it in the end.

    Looking good! I like seeing so much dark bluish gray at once

    Yesterday i dropped in the Engine I thought the engine bay was quite big, but in the end I even had problems fitting in the inline-4 SR20DET

    Looks intresting, can you post a short video of the mechanism in action? I would help us to understand how it works

    Seems like someone found the key to frontpaging technic MOCs again that had been lost for months... Cant say this one doesn't deserve it tho! A bellyshot and maybe a short vid driving would be appreachiated!

    This is very impressive and kind of stupid at the same time I mean why would you do this? But you showed you CAN cut metal using LEGO, and thats just a massive flex imo

    Looks like a fun little car! Intresting Buggy motor placement, with the output right on top of the diff. Haven't seen that before...

    If you dont like the product, dont buy it. That is the only way consumers have a voice. Otherwhise TLG will just keep on lowering the production cost (and with that quality) while cranking up the prices at the same time.

    Wow, what a massive Vehicle! I really hate fracking, but the machinery used surely is impessive! I also would like to see a video of this in motion. One thing I dislike is the some of the details. Dont get me wrong, I love the overall detailing, it looks great! But some things, like the front stairs for example, look like they'll fall off just by looking at them. Isn't this very impractical to have such delicate detailing on a moving Model?

    Yeah I thought that would work (all hail the Buggy Motor) But I have my doubts about driving the 4 speed transmission at that high RPM before going into the planetary hubs.
  13. Gray Gear
    @amorti The RPM neccecary in the drivetrain would be crazy high tho. I get your Idea, but I wonder if it is even possible to drive something real fast using the planetary hubs. Friction at hight RPM might make the idea useless. But it would definatelly be intresting to see!

    I would appreachiate if y'all would not push topics off the front page that actually show some work and effort effort by creating new topics that dont show anything and have no purpose. I am the very first person to criticize the color vomit going on in the current LEGO sets. But this isn't getting us anywhere. Who cares how many blue pins were made? Obviously way to fkng many

    @astyanax I like the small panel placement in the headlights a lot, looks great

    Pics work for me, it is probably your browser causing the problem

    I think this color inconsistency will be a real problem for some of y'all, because even if TLG does fix the issue in the future these discolored bricks will still be out there on Bricklink and Brickowl and cause anger in the future.
  18. Gray Gear
    I think an all white version would look best, but this is already way better that the orange. Imo the car is still far from being pretty tho, sorry.
  19. Gray Gear
    Very nice, now it is the way it should have been to begin with
  20. Gray Gear
    I dont think the color issue will be fixed anytime soon. It seems like LEGO just cant get the colors right anymore since they started doing the plastic coloring process themselves, and for some colors it is worse than for others. The inconsistency showed on the new 2021 sets in this shade of green as well (30465 Helicopter). I dont think they have any other choice, they dont have the bricks in the right colors. Even if they were to ship out new bricks they can't match the green because the color is inconsistent even in the same type of brick. It would be fun to see if the chinese clones have better color consitency or if they copied this massive flaw as well

    @astyanax have you tried to use the clutch ring extension?
  22. Gray Gear
    Very cute little set Any idea about the pricepoint? @msk6003 your gear count has to be wrong, because there Is a 12T double bevel gear visible at the belly of the helicopter. In addition to that one you need 4 more gears to complete the driveline for the small rotor. There are 5 gears in total.
  23. Gray Gear
    If you want a higher top speed could remove the gearbox to reduce friction and skip the weight of the additional servo as well. While the working gearbox is a great achievement, I doubt it really helps with top speed. The only way to get that much power to the ground without wearing out LEGO pieces is to build a car with a solid rear axle, and using 4 Buggy Motors to power the rear wheels directly unsing an aftermarket steel axle. Only this would skip all weak links. I'd like to do this on a MOC myself, but this is $$$$$
  24. Gray Gear
    Yeah, that will be a problem as usual And tbh I'd already count out Orange because it would kill the contrast with the orange turn signals

    @astyanax You've been on a tiny detail improvement streak for a while now, and I like what you are doing
