Hi there!
I'm not new to LEGO, but I'm new to Technic sets. This was my first LEGO set back in the 80's:
Police Station
I've just finished building my Landy and faced the same difficulties already posted here regarding the gear box. I got a couple of L-motors, a servo-motor, lights (all power functions) and a Buwizz to go for an attempt to make it a RC model.
I really enjoyed a lot of modifications I've seen here and I would like to implement a lot of them. But here in Brazil there are almost no way to buy spare parts and the LEGO sets are expensive (a friend of mine came from USA and brought my Landy and motors).
For now my objective is to make it RC. For this, I would like to ask for help of the Technic experts here.
I want to build a simple drive train, with just HI (for a some speed gain), LO (for torque and power) and N positions (that would allow the wheels to rotate freely). Of course I want to couple the 2 L-motors to this drive train.
For the steering I'm planning to go with the Anckerman setup I've seen here in this post.
But there are some restrictions to the project:
- I want to keep the exterior and interior as much as possible.
- Remove all the gearboxes, engine, etc to have space for the drive train and motors.
- Make a symmetrical chassis.
- It can use only parts from the 42110 set.
- I also have set 42102 so I can use it's parts (if needed, prefer not).
My main difficult it to put together the drive train. Can some one help me, may be with a studio.io file?
The other things I believe I'm able to do.
I also have two quick questions (3 actually):
- Whats the purpose of the center differential? What problems can I have if I remove it?
- Is it possible to use M or L motors for steering?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
