Yep, I expect that's what they'll be basing it on! Though the V8 is still an option, so Lego could go either way, and given that the V8 is more prestigious and likely more compact to implement, I'd guess they'd go that way.

Impressive! I managed to shred some (MouldKing?) ones a while back, but that was with a non-Lego motor

I think the idea is that you can then mount the steering link joint inline with the suspension pivot, and simultaneously mount it inboard of the steering pivot. You want to have the link pivot inside of the steering pivot to get the Ackermann geometry, and you want it to be inline with the suspension joint to avoid bump steer, so by separating the steering and suspension pivots in this way, you can have the best of both worlds

Cool project!

That's a pretty fun model! The tubular bodywork is pretty cool-looking too

Wow, that's cool that you can make it available that way!

Yeah, that sounds worthwhile!

This here is what I've done in the past for a linear connection: It's not really legal, but it's pretty strong and reliable enough, in my experience. Still not as compact as a dedicated part, though!

Interesting observations!

Nice job! It's a pretty cool truck you're modeling, and you've got the looks to be very slick! The blue always looks good, too

Nice! That one's got another interesting solution for the front suspension

Ok! That combination of those two parts sounds interesting--I'll have to try it sometime

That's a good question, that makes for some good discussion! Here's a few projects of mine that come to mind: 1:7 Bugatti Chiron: This thing was absurdly challenging... It had a huge number of complicated mechanisms all trying to coexist in the same shell, which made for major difficulties. I wouldn't say any single function was overwhelmingly complex, though many were fairly fancy, but just making them all work together was very hard! Transforming Plymouth Superbird: This one was very challenging because of the large number of folding surfaces that all had to move together, at the right times, and at the right speeds. Adding to the difficulty was that the model didn't have much volume in its transformed stage, so there really wasn't much available space! Mechanical calculator: This might be the closest to what you're looking for in this thread! This was one where I was spending days trying to think through the logic of the whole machine, and just trying to understand the theory of how it could work. Tricky stuff! I hadn't seen that before! Looks interesting and challenging! Were all the gears engaging via their bevels, or were there double-bevels meshing like spur gears? I'd be interested to see that!

Nice job! Sounds like it's quite function-packed!

Looks like a fun model! I like the way the body looks, and the tire setup makes me happy!

Wow, that looks like it must have been a lot of work! Thanks for sharing!

That does look like a lot of fun! That clone juggernaut trying to take on obstacles with plastic wheels was pretty silly!

Should be an interesting set! Hopefully there's some drivetrain/suspension complexity in there. I really liked the idea of the Defender, so if this manages to be an improved version of that, I'd be into that! Especially since it's got a solid rear axle, which would be more interesting to see than the Defender's independent rear. A 4x4 Squared one (Or even one of their 6x6 models?) would be cool, but yeah, that's less likely. It's not my favorite car out there--street-styled ones just seem so pointless, but it shouldn't be too hard to mod one to look more like one of the older, more honest, and actually utilitarian variants, like this one:

Yeah, that uses the same system of parts, I'm pretty sure

PM sent

Very nice job! The body shaping and color scheme are both very nice, and it's got some interesting features as well, especially those jacks!

Oof! Yeah, high power can be challenging!

That makes sense!

Oh, so you're trying to custom mold them! That sounds like a better solution than just straight 3D-printing stuff, since TPU isn't really grippy enough Cool!

Nice! It's quite an interesting model Anyways, good job to all the participants, and thanks for joining! I think it was a fun experiment to try, so maybe we can try another one at some point!
