    You would be correct. The links form a slight trapezoid in the front. Since there is no room behind the axle I will try to make them parallel. Thanks for the tip! Tim

    It feels good to finally have a rolling chassis. I shopped at the lego store today for the new snowmobile set so I could use the new suspension arms in the front. The front suspension has proper unequal length arms as well as the proper 6 degree caster. I am having some trouble with the steering linkage though. Can anyone explain why there is such an extreme difference in the angle of the wheels? Also credits to Piterx for his very nice linear gearbox. tim

    Raw is fun to use but I think the saturation is a little over done in the latest photos. tim

    Great looking curves, I would love to see a video. tim

    I thought about using a linear gearbox but the added space to change gears seems to be too large. I guess I will revisit it. How would you add a reverse gear? Tim

    After spending a considerable time I think I finally have developed a proper way to switch gears. The gearbox is still Pitrx's 3 + R, but instead it is mounted upside down. Similar to the old way of making a motorized pneumatic switch, this method relies on the m motor's return to center like property. I am having a slight problem though, the selector on the left does not have enough power to fully switch gears. Please leave your suggestions below! tim

    I love how well the blowers work, nice job. tim

    Great attention to detail in the cab! tim

    Is there a video feed?

    Great looking truck, especially the color scheme. I might have yo buy the instructions just to try to figure out the gearbox! tim

    Love the green color scheme! Although it looks like the cab tilts to one side in the video. tim

    That body work is impressive indeed, cant wait to see the final product! tim
  13. timslegos
    What did you use for "caps", they look great! tim
  14. timslegos
    I am amazing you fit all the components in without making the truck look ugly, well done! tim

    Great looking model, and great video! It looks like the car drives really well for so much weight, how did you keep the motors from stalling? tim

    Can you tell it is a corvette yet? The red color is only temporary, I will decided the final color when I have most of the body finished. The black connectors mimic the black band that goes around the entire car as a way to separate the upper and lower body panels. Any ideas for how to recess the brake lights? I did my best but I do not like the square hole around the lights. Please leave your suggestions below. tim

    Wow nice idea with the tracks, it sure takes a lot of pieces though! tim
  18. timslegos
    Yes it would be interesting to see the tubular chassis. tim

    Lancia!
  20. timslegos
    I like it too! And I would love to see a video of it driving. tim
  21. timslegos
    Much better than the original Lego set, great job! Tim
  22. timslegos
    I dont think I understand what you mean. tim

    Sorry for the double post but I have built one of Pitterx's Gearboxes. It is a 3 + R gearbox that is relatively small yet strong. Here you can see the rough placement. Now I need a sequential control for the gearbox. The positions of the gearbox are shown below: -------front of car------- first third reverse second Please leave any ideas below! tim
  24. timslegos
    Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately that gearbox doesnt have a reverse so it is unusable. tim
  25. timslegos
    I guess a linear/sequential gearbox would be the most effective in this situation, are there any other options? tim
