    28t clutch gears, to save us needing to use a differential and a driving ring. i designed and printed some, with good success, for a relatively small design time. only change id make is making the outer part smaller to reduce friction. https://bricksafe.com/pages/Aurorasaurus/miscellaneous video of it working and 3d file available there

    i pulled the trigger and bought some gearbox parts. very pricey indeed. however, hopefully they'll earn their keep. im surprised nobody was selling them on bricklink though, as they could have easily fetched around 8 usd, i feel.
  3. Aurorasaurus
    at least the parts are up there now. still, i cant help but feel they should be cheaper

    I may be wrong, but nothing about it actually makes it a batcycle, so I believe it has no market with batman fans. It also offers nothing technically new or any interesting pieces (from memory) so the main audience of technic fans has no reason to buy it either. I don't personally think that its target audience exists; batman fans who want a lego technic motorcycle with no interesting functions, and no display value (no stickers or anything to show its a batcycle) So yes, I would agree in thinking its been a flop.

    Really good little build. Nice work! Very polished, I like the bodywork a lot.

    ive been building a trophy truck from the body then the chassis now, as it seems to work better for me. this one is very similar to madocas truck on the outside, the roof and sides are near identical, and the front bumper is similar as well. however, as the internals should be pretty different and the body isnt an exact 1 for 1 replica, im thinking its fine. just looking for any feedback anybody has regarding this bodywork. i do want to add a bullbar but haven't got round to it yet.

    probably device specific, send a message to lego and some logs and stuff, and hopefully they'll sort it out

    i mean for the rear axle, since they are easy to reinforce vertically and horizontally at once
  9. Aurorasaurus
    if you have flip flop beams, they are very useful for that sort of thing.

    nice! how did you find the experience?
  11. Aurorasaurus
    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
  12. Aurorasaurus
    im impressed. good job! especially on the doors, those work great
  13. Aurorasaurus
    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.
  16. Aurorasaurus
    heyo, ive changed my name on just about every platform and would like to change it here too. "Aurorasaurus" please. thanks!
  17. Aurorasaurus
    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
  20. Aurorasaurus
    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?
  22. Aurorasaurus
    Thanks for the help! I will attempt to implement the suggested solutions.
  23. Aurorasaurus
    That looks sick! You should make instructions when you finish it
  24. Aurorasaurus
    I’m fairly sure the hubs are parallel to the chassis, my bad photo taking skills may make it seem otherwise
  25. Aurorasaurus
    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/#
