    We'll have to wait and see how different it is from the Porsche orange. It could be

    Really cool! Those stickers rock.

    Inspired primarily by the Opel Manta 400, I've made my own RWD rally car. It features independent front suspension, and a rear live axle using the big ball joint and a metal U-Joint. Its propelled by 4 buwizz motors and steered by one C+ L motor. Some late WIP photos Earlier WIP photos Problems Because of the narrow wheelbase and relatively high center of mass due to high up buwizz units, the model easily rolls when driving at high speed and cornering. I was lazy with the design of the suspension; the front is too soft and the steering is inaccurate because I am using Instead of the newer parts with longer arms for steering links. This allowed me to fit the wheels inside the body, though. The rear suspension is too hard primarily because I got lazy and wanted it done, after about 8 hours on the model I was getting bored. The bodywork has some parts that could be white if I had the parts in white, but those parts are quite small. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. As of right now I still have the model assembled. Thank you for reading.

    Looks cool! Nice work! The 3 seats thing is interesting, I think I've seen it in some real cars.

    In my experiences, those wheels are a struggle to turn without gearing with 4 buggy motors. I built a 4 buwizz motor vehicle using the same diameter wheels and the slow outputs and ran into issues with torque because of the weight and wheel size. Looks fun though :)

    Im messing around with a 6x6 for fun, and I have the choice of batteries over the front axle for a better max climbing angle or batteries evenly distributed, giving better rear wheel traction but probably worse max climbing angle. Any thoughts and suggestions are welcome and appreciated!

    Something I just noticed, the buwizz units may come loose as you drive, since nothing is stopping them moving. Looking forward to seeing it in action!

    Ive had similar issues but it helps me to be in areas with low interference and keep the phone and the controller close together. Could just be that, for you.
  9. Aurorasaurus
    You could probably use buwizz 2.0 instead since its lighter, if you have it. Each one of those is capable of powering a buggy motor. Though if you only have buwizz 3, thats a good solution. I like it a lot :) Did you do any top speed tests?
  10. Aurorasaurus
    Why the bigger wheel hubs? Otherwise everything looks pretty solid.
  11. Aurorasaurus
    Its beautiful. Very very well done
  12. Aurorasaurus
    Interesting, I would have expected higher. I guess the MK 4 port unit doesnt give enough power to each motor, and the smaller wheels are probably limiting you.

    I'm not 100% sure about this, im just guessing, but there probably is generic controller support. They have just tested those specific controllers and verified that they work, so they can be sure saying that those controllers work with the app, but not a generic controller. In some videos zerobricks uses a generic controller with a phone mount on top (I think its not main branded, anyway).

    Looks really good. Im curious where you got the instructions, when I looked i couldnt find them... though that could be due to geolocked content or my inability to understand Russian. Thanks for sharing the photos
  15. Aurorasaurus
    Glad to hear it all worked out :) Also, could you show some photos of that trophy truck? Im curious about it..

    I was looking back on this thread and saw this, did you see gooberreboot's model of this vehicle? https://youtu.be/XteYm7UqNvg https://youtu.be/_tIindMXeAI (not embedded to keep the post size down) Nice work making it so quickly. How does it drive in reality?
  17. Aurorasaurus
    I don't think one is better than the other, they both seemed to perform quite good. Good job making a fair test though!
  18. Aurorasaurus
    Any time :) Something to consider, have a look at Madoca1977's baja trucks front axle, it uses 9m suspension arms and steering links with only 1 stud between the arms in the middle. You could possibly make something similar... Have a good day!
  19. Aurorasaurus
    Sure, the steering links are shorter than the suspension arms, so as it moves through the travel the distance between the steering rack and the hub isn't constant, while the length of the link is, meaning it might splay out or in. Your suspension arms are 9 studs long while your steering link is 6 studs long. I only say that because the BW3 only has 2 PF ports, with BW2 it would work, you would just have to drive carefully to avoid tripping the protection. As for putting both motors on the same output with BW3, you would need a PF polarity switch to make the motors run the same direction, or genuine buggy motors and one rotated cable.

    Im loving the easy access to the buwizz on this one. One thing i noticed, the black framey looking bits on the bottom of the sides will probably break if they get hit, and the front steering will probably have issues. Otherwise, it looks like a really fun model, good job! Servo motor and 2 buggy motors on buwizz three though... you might not be able to get that to work..
  21. Aurorasaurus
    or a "dumb" charger, usb a on one end, might help.
  22. Aurorasaurus
    Or as tires for a drag car, maybe.
  23. Aurorasaurus
    Green geckos one is a bit expensive, if you have soldering equipment it wouldn't be too hard to make your own.
  24. Aurorasaurus
    You would have to stack the PF XL motor cables, it could do it, but you might be better off with two for best performance.
  25. Aurorasaurus
    I agree, a tracked steer function like buwizz app would be fantastic. For me steering calibration in buwizz app is buggy and rarely works, but always works in BC2. The most important thing is setting the base angle accurately, in my experience. Not sure how a tracked steer module would be implemented, maybe in the same way as buwizz app where you set it up then assign the output to the mixer thing. BC2 has helped me a lot, so thanks Imurvai!
