Aurorasaurus

if you have flip flop beams, they are very useful for that sort of thing.

nice! how did you find the experience?

thats how ive done it. but your shocks are a lot bigger, so as you say it might not be possible. best of luck regardless. my upper arms use 5m half liftarms with cross axle holes, and they seem to work on a theory level. i haven't built a vehicle to test that yet but i think it does work. if you google "goober reboot fastest trophy truck" you can see he used a similar setup, so it is doable with lego parts. just maybe not with rc shocks

im impressed. good job! especially on the doors, those work great

I would suggest trying to mount your rear shock absorbers in the middle of the arm. the way you have it right now means that the screw holding the shock in will experience more shear force than it needs to. while its unlikely to shear, you could pretty easily fix it by changing the geometry or mounting your shocks closer to the arm and closer in on the chassis. same thing at the front. if its AWD then try mount the shock above the arm, or add another small arm thats linked to the larger lower arm with the shock mounted between those, so its supported better. if its RWD then you should try mount the shock inside the lower arm and make your upper arm wider so the shock can go through it. other than that im very impressed.

okay. thank you :) https://bricksafe.com/pages/Aurorasaurus/awd-trophy-truck chassis photos available here

struggling to find solutions i like for a trophy truck bodywork. i want to make something that looks good without copying anyone elses design outright. any/all suggestions welcome. lime/black will likely be the main colors.

heyo, ive changed my name on just about every platform and would like to change it here too. "Aurorasaurus" please. thanks!

this is a stunning model. well done

I built Madocas trophy truck in LDD. You may need to update your LDD to the latest bricks. Tutorial and resources for updating LDD available here. https://bricksafe.com/pages/Aurorasaurus/madocas-trophybaja-truck-in-ldd

sorry for the limited description, my plan is to use no drive train, and have 2 motors on each rear swing arm. the fake buggy motors tend to cut out sometimes so i will use the PU XLs if that happens. also the motors will be paired via the second generation diffirential (the one with 16 teeth and 24 teeth) also, i only have 1 PF XL so thats also a limitation

The idea with this is project is to get speed from buggy motors, and torque from PU XLs, which have a very convenient shape. Powering the hungry buggy motors from 2 buwizz units and the PU XLs from the big technic hub, which will be in the rear and controlling it with the buwizz app. Servo for steering, PU L for fake v8. Perfect car. I would enter it in the mad max contest but 2 things stop me. 1, I doubt I will finish in time and 2, I don’t have any real buggy motors and will be using fake ones.

hi dugald, i think this vehicle is AMAZING! any chance you could provide more driving footage? the main video on youtube doesnt show much drive footage. also do you thing you could make another koenigsegg with rc motors?

Thanks for the help! I will attempt to implement the suggested solutions.

That looks sick! You should make instructions when you finish it

I’m fairly sure the hubs are parallel to the chassis, my bad photo taking skills may make it seem otherwise

I need some help with my buggy. I can’t figure out how to get Ackermann geometry on my front steering unit and previous steering systems were either too large or unusable. I have been heavily inspired by didumos’s greyhound 4wd rc buggy. photos on bricksafe: https://bricksafe.com/pages/Clev/#
