Now, the keen eyed among you may notice the high gear wasn't used in this video. It does work, its just not as good offroad. Still works though! And sorry for the awful video quality. -
Honestly, I think the senna or the F1 are more iconic cars. I'd prefer to see a senna in the right colors to some new car. But a purple artura would be cool purely for the purple panels.

Here's where I stop for the daytime, perhaps I'll work on it some more in the evening. I'm considering swapping to RC tires, then I can use the defender mudguards on the bodywork.
-
I reinforced the knob gears a bit more, forcing them to always be at the right angle with the suspension, and that seems to have solved the problem. As for permanentlu locked daytona diffs, a while back I 3d printed something with the same gear shape as the daytona diff to use if I ever needed that, but unfortunately I would need to make monstrous adjustments for it to work here. Thanks for the praise!
-
Test drive done, I've got high resistance from the knob gears, but all seems well aside from that. I'm debating swapping to regular gears or not. On one hand they have far less resistance, but on the other hand even when reinforced perfectly they're still prone to skip under such high loads as I'm using them in. Any suggestions are welcome! As for performance, its decently quick in high gear and pretty powerful in low gear, and not slow by any means.
-
Rear axles done, gonna reinforce some more and add buwizz units, then test drive. Thanks! Yours is looking good so far too, I dont think I could have come up with that steering. Keep up the good work!
-
front axle ~done, needs a bit more reinforcement but i think its going to work just fine
-
Got the motors and shifting motor in, I know I could use software control to set the motor up perfectly but it never seems to work with my phone, so clutch gears it is. That looks like a nice setup- though I may see an issue, you may want to reinforce that steering gear to the rack some more. Or maybe I'm just paranoid about such things breaking..

Reliant robin with an extra rear axle
-
Hopefully- I'm planning to use 6 buwizz motors with it so it needs to be able to hold up to that.
-
I've had a rough plan for a 6x6 for buwizz camp for a while, I guess we'll see where I can get to!
-
Question, will 3d printed parts be allowed?
-
Agh- I need to do this... I dont want to... I feel like this is a universal problem for lego builders update: I did it

General Part Discussion
Aurorasaurus replied to Polo-Freak's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Some more purple in technic would be a godsend. I'm excited. -
Wouldnt the base of the pneumatic cylinder in the front suspension get hit when the wheel turns?
-
But its orange, completely different to the original!! It looks kinda nice, thanks for sharing the photo
-
42069 for the great amount of functions in a really cool package. 42077 because it was my first proper technic set, so it has a special place in my heart.
-
No objections, I'm excited!
-
Haha, nice!
-
I think that as you mentioned before, the topics should be very broad so everyone can build something. Also, as this is a "challenge" not a "contest", perhaps we could have multiple things? Another idea is to maybe have a specific car, and we all just build something inspired by it.
-
To my knowledge this functionality was removed.
-
14 is good for such a heavy beast! For measuring speed I use a cycplus g1, available on aliexpress for quite a reasonable price. Sometimes it takes a minute to connect to a satellite if you're standing still, but overall its a really good product, especially for the price.
-
By my rough calculations from measuring pixels, the new tires have a diameter of around 80mm. To fit into the existing tire sizes, they could be 81.6 mm.
-
Why do you prefer buwizz 2.0 over buwizz 3.0? I know buwizz 2.0 is cheaper but 3 of them is roughly the same as two buwizz 3.0s, but with IMO reduced performance and functionality.
-
And you cant use C+ motors. With such a large model the buwizz 2 would really be struggling, buwizz 3 is really the only good option imo. Or maybe two MK 6 ports, but I dont know how good they are from personal experience.
