    Maybe this thread and feedback send to TLG based on that issue was the reason to introduce the spur gear variants.
  2. Andman
    I love these kind of responses. Would you mind to tell what it was? It might be helpful for others, too! ;-)
  3. Andman
    Could it have outriggers? That would explain the diagonal shapes on both sides.
  4. Andman
    Time for an update. I worked on the front and the interior.

    Do you mean the C+ XL and L. If yes, i made exactly the opposite observation. The C+ L motor has more resistance when you try to turn it manually. So for rock crawling the C+ L motor would be a better fit since it stop faster than the C+ XL. BTW, which word describes the behavior of a motor when you turn off the power supply and it still turns for some time? Is it also "to overshoot"?
  6. Andman
    It is, not much, but it is. How would you otherwise explain the difference in precision and backlash, which was not covered in Philos (great!) tests? Otherwise, i agree. I doubt that there is more meaning behind that.

    Regarding the wire insulation: Has anyone found a proper replacement in terms of size and profile? Actually all my old wires are crumbling to dust. I know how to open the plugs. Just never found a perfect replacement.

    Finally some time to give this truck some love. I started to build the cabin. I finished the doors now. Quite happy with the result. Especially the angle, when it's open. Edit: I'll crop my images next time.

    My observations: You need precision (steering, controlling pneumatic valve): C+ L motor (C+ XL tends to overshoot, thus is less precise) You need inertia, don't need precision and space is not an issues: C+ XL The reason is, what others already discovered, the different internal gearing.

    I literally wrote to you that i cannot access the video (nothing you can fix). How am i supposed to check your video again... And sorry that I tried to help, although i couldn't see the video. Will not happen again, when you need help next time.
  11. Andman
    Can't access the Video. But several questions: What kind batteries are you using? Rechargeable? Alkaline? Are you using "fresh" batteries? Did pay attention to this tip?: If nothing helps, replace the blue axle pin with friction in building step 35 with a tan axle pin without friction.

    I should clean my glasses more often :-)

    It's just a personal preference. Everything related to facebook is blocked in my home network :-) Will send you a message later today.
  15. Andman
    Any chance to upload the video somewhere else than Facebook?

    And btw, to drive up a wall and flip over you need traction, especially on flat surfaces. From what I can see so far there are no rubber pieces on the tracks. I wonder how well it will work.

    I checked @kbalage video again. It looks like the orange cabin has to black pieces on top. Could be two small wheels... I'm really afraid of that the flipping mechanism is just based on gravity, means these small wheels have always contact to the grounds. Center of rotation of the flipping mechanism is very likely the rear axle.
  18. Andman
    Jep. But the solution is really simple. I think it was mentioned before. The app just reads the position of the hub. The direction of the motors are then accordingly adjusted. I wonder if the flipping mechanism is supported by spring, so it is held in place after flipping.

    PF is a different case. The PF servo has a defined range of rotations. So in order to use the full range of the valve you have to use 3:1. With C+ motor you basically don't have this limitation, since everytime you start a Powered Up code, which includes the servo block, the servo motor is calibrated.
  20. Andman
    I should probably add that i did not connect the valves directly to the C+ L motor. I needed/wanted precise control. But also had to make sure that the calibration procedure does not break the gears, since it applies the full torque while it runs. Unfortunately you cannot change the torque for the calibration. 3:1 ratio worked best for me. Below is what i use in my truck. The two 24z gears are not connected, but both are using roughly half the width of the first 9L liftarm. Just in case you are not aware, check out the first tip here. There is still a little issue with C+ motors used as servos.
  21. Andman
    Can't wait to see it in real life! Why did you choose XL for the switches? I made the experience that the L motor offers a better control for pneumatic switches. In my Steinwinter XL motors tended to overshoot or swang back a little.

    Added side grill and improved the bonnet a bit. The lower line looks no a little cleaner. Hard to close the little gaps.
  23. Andman
    Thanks! The inside is made studless. I don't prefer one over the other. I just use the advantages of both worlds.

    Thanks @TeamThrifty :-) I hope it also work as expected.
