Looking good! Maybe you can use grill pieces instead of flat tiles though?

This part is an illegal build, its probably a different build. Nice work everywhere else, thanks! Edit: Actually- it can be built like that if the dbg pins are pushed out, then the lbg angle connector dropped in, then the dbg pins pushed in. but I don't think thats likely.

Impressive! I it a lot, especially the stripe on the body. Is there any reason you are using bevel gears instead of the new non bevel ones in the drivetrain? I think there could be some slight efficiency gains with the new non bevel ones. Nice trick with the steering and moving bevel gear too.

Awesome work @R0Sch! Can you share a photo of the underside/provide the file you have so far? I want to take a good look at this one...

I recall it being used for wing flapping in a bionicle set. Cool to see it used again.

Honestly, I don't get it either... Not having external wires to break is good. But having a presumably non replacable battery? Seriously not cool. How about a system with plugs like the 9v system so wires breaking is not an issue... Doesn't seem that hard to me. Maybe wireless motors is the next big thing though.

It will only be rear wheel drive. Theres a few hints. The reddish brown cross axle holding the front wheels. But also, if you zoom in on this image you can see the lower towball of the wheel hubs is DBG, so it will be using this piece, same as in 42124... Because of the scale I can forgive it though.

I could see fantasy vehicles being fun

Does anyone know what screws are used on the MTP wheel hubs? I want to make my own plastic ones using a similar method of holding wheels on with screws. I guess I could go to a hardware store and find some if nobody knows off the top of their head.

Good idea. I think the dodge would actually look better in a smaller scale. As for the skyline, I think suspension is something I'd accept letting go if as a trade off for keeping AWD in the skyline.

How smoothly do those metal ball pieces role? Will it be easy enough to control or will it want to spin out?

No limits other than it must use tracks? Im in!

Do you mean you think the rwd is not connected when driving normally? That would be such a weird choice...

Oof, and then its even worse in NZ...

Honestly I think thats better. The ball joint suspension is never satisfactory to me, it takes lots of space, isn't fully realistic, and the suspension doesn't really operate that smoothly. At least on the ford raptor, that is. 9398 was okay. I think if they're gonna do it in an unrealistic way, why not at least make sure it works well? Of course, this is all assuming that the pendular suspension functions properly...

I thought they were the ones from the back of the ford gt?

6L perpendicular link in the back, hopefully its a cheap set and those links can become more widely available. It looks like it will have linked pendular suspension.

Making it seem more premium... by increasing the price?? That's the first thing that comes to mind for me. I won't be buying it, that's for sure.

I think its AWD! This set is actually starting to look like a winner to me. AWD, functions, wheel covers... its a perfect base for modding, I'm actually excited for this one. Printed wheel arches and non matching sticker colors is unfortunate but acceptable, maybe it can be recoloured.

It looks good, change my mind. Those headlighty triangle bits will fall off, which I am not a fan of for RC sets. I think the choice of color is poor for a lamborghini though.

The PF ports provide power on all 4 pins which the servo requires. The adaptor only provides power on the middle 2 pins.

Aha- it really is a beast of a machine with a lot to learn from. Two motors on one port should just mean each motor gets half the power from my experience... is your buwizz pretty new? Mine are from 2019 or earlier I think. Anyway, cool project, I hope you get something you're happy with at the end of it.

That chassis looks awfully familiar... Will you run it on 1 or 2 buwizz units? I only see 1 in the photo, and 1 will struggle a lot to power 4 L motors. I built the Greyhound using 2 buwizz 2.0s (admittedly mine are old now) and it was really lacking in power. Maybe you could use the new really hard springs like from the daytona, mclaren, peugeot, etc.

We could probably make a reasonably accurate estimate based on the repeated subassemblies and such. If anyone knew the part count (I havent read the whole thread) that would help too. As for the metal frame, I'm sure with enough budget anything is possible- maybe a whole metal dinosaur! Where would you put it...

I've noticed a similar thing. Using a samsung a53 5g the range and latency with buwizz units is terribld, but using a newer s23 fe the range and responsiveness is much better. Also, you're not realllyyy meant to resurrect old posts that haven't had any activity in 6 years.
