    Firstly, the way the calibration works in brickcontroller is it picks a point at 90 degrees thats closest to the middle. So your steering axle needs to be in line correctly with your steering rack centered. Failing that, it's possible you simply got a faulty motor. I have 2 42160s for the motors and parts in them, and I haven't had any issues with those motors. I hope you can get this resolved!

    Personally, I prefer fully studless technic, because IME its a lot more sturdy than anything with studs. The little boxes on top of 42069, the roof box on the defender, the weird pillars on the ford ranger, they all feel like they come off too easily. But I fully agree that when it comes to accuracy, they're simply superior. Ultimately, I think system pieces can go on display sets, but not play sets. I agree with this completely. But I also wonder, how much is reasonable to expect of TLG? I think that might be the next big question for the community.. Anyway, sorry for my rambling and unclear post, its just my thoughts as they come.

    I think the rear looks good, the general shape feels right, and using those pins as tail lights is a nice touch. But I dont like the front so much, it looks a bit like a tractor IMO. Nice work making a video showing it driving, too. But good work anyhow, its probably better than what I could do with the set, so go you!

    I think it would have to match the scale of Dom's charger. I also think that it could realistically be motorised with the new hub from the Porsche. I dont usually pay attention to piece count vs price so I couldnt say which one it is from this list, but maybe its not even a 1h technic set?

    I think I like the Cayman better, but they both look good! The spoiler on the Cayman just fits perfectly IMO.

    I love it! It looks great and performs great. The video was also good, you found some really good locations to film at and put a lot of effort into the video and it shows. One thing I noticed was the subtitles describing the model were on screen barely long enough for me to read. The footage of the studio model spinning around also felt a bit quick. But overall, I think you've done a wonderful job!

    Me too, thats been my favourite thing after switching to android. But to get back onto topic, no, you cant download and install apk files on IOS, this is changing in the EU soon though, hopefully. As for @Boathill's problem, my number one solution would be brickcontroller 2. Best of luck!

    Perhaps they motorised the doors or something...

    Voted! I didn't follow this competition all that closely, but all of the entries look really good. Nice work everybody!

    You can use an image hosting site like bricksafe or flickr, then copy the link to the individual photos and paste it inside your post. It should embed and display the image for you. As for displaying your cars, maybe you could do all the cars in a series (1:8, F1) in one column of a shelving unit?

    Thats awesome, I really like the version with the wide track width, it looks exactly like what comes to mind when you call it "Dune Basher". I think it has some sort of childish joy in it, and that's really special.

    A space shuttle is a pretty generic shape, so it's going to be hard for anyone to be truly unique after the first one, IMO.

    Heya! Firstly, thank you to everyone who's worked on keeping LDD functional! Now on to my problem.. I cant find This Part in LDD, I've tried searching for peg, bar, pin, and then (perhaps not carefully enough) checking all the categories, using extended mode. I also made sure I updated my LDD today, just in case. Thank you for your time! Edit: Part #61184 3 w.arch w.knob and shaft 3.2, I found it.
  14. Aurorasaurus
    No problem :)

    The problem is that Buwizz 2.0 cuts power if your motors are under high load, which I think is likely given your motor setup and aforementioned "not careful" driving. But I wish you the best of luck, whichever you choose.
  16. Aurorasaurus
    Yes, but only if you drive very carefully. The 3.0 really is the better option, you just need to use a C+ L motor to steer instead of a servo.

    I have used them outdoors, but I dont think I ever took any vehicles with planetary hubs in sand. It totally could be that though. I'm going to put them through the washing machine and I will update this if they get better.
  18. Aurorasaurus
    I've recently found 2 faulty planetary hubs in my collection. When I'm turning them I can feel each gear engaging, almost like there's something inside the gears. But on the outside they both look near new, maybe used a few times. Whats more interesting, is that one has "38X1" printed on it, and the other has "01X2" printed, so they arent the same batch or anything like that. I've emailed Lego about it so I should receive replacements, but I was wondering if anybody knows a way to fix this, or knows whats wrong with them? Edit: I just found another 2, but its much more subtle on these ones. The printed number is "38X1" on both, one is nearly unnoticeable and the other is somewhere in between.
  19. Aurorasaurus
    I had always assumed you were meant to push them, so perhaps they were designed, like everything else about the set, for people who know near nothing about cars.
  20. Aurorasaurus
    Yep, my family too, the old lego is still going strong.
  21. Aurorasaurus
    I might be wrong but the coils on the second spring look the same as the coils on the soft LBG shocks.
  22. Aurorasaurus
    I remade the chassis and widened the body by 2 studs, now the model uses portal hubs and has much higher ground clearance. I have recorded some clips of it driving, and edited them together pretty minimally. In my infinite wisdom I recorded some of them in 720p, so those are in a separate video.
  23. Aurorasaurus
    Nice model, I watched the video and it just got better and better. 3 diff locks, pneumatic suspension, full interior, I'm impressed. Are the gearbox driving rings on your cv joints there to act as a smaller version of the long cv joint in the zetros? Also, could we see a photo of the underside of the model?
  24. Aurorasaurus
    I hope not. The latest two have been functionally disappointing to me, a sentiment I'm sure many will share. Perhaps if they didn't all have nearly the exact same suspension, drivetrain, and body, they might be more interesting. But they do. IMO an unlicensed F1 like 42000 would be better, the designers get more freedom and we get more functions.
  25. Aurorasaurus
    The one upside I could see is exposed suspension systems fitting the color scheme of the model on a buggy or something...
