Thanks mate! Hope it helps somehow ♥

Update July 2024: My described tool here is considered DEPRECATED as the ldraw site has implemented a functionality to download complete .zip files with all needed subparts / assemblies. Scenario: You are in the situation in which you miss some LEGO parts in Studio but have seen them in LDRAW (unofficial) library. Maybe you tried to resolve all the references to all sub-assembly-files once by hand or had a look at the dependencies with some other tools - as I am working in IT and love to automate things and thought "I can't be bothered with doing this manually". And as I want to contribute something back to the lovely community of people I put it online in May 2022 and gave it some little updates inbetween: The LDraw to Studio Exporter (https://www.reum.it/ldraw-to-studio-exporter/) Description This tool is designed to import parts which are available in LDraw, but not in Studio. From the LDraw part number, it zips all relevant sub elements (there can be many!) into a part pack. Howto Visit the LDraw Parts Lookup Search for your part of choice & copy the number Enter this number into the below searchfield A list of all fitting parts from the catalogue will show up - clicking the entries will create a zip package with just the needed parts To use the packs, unzip them and place their contents in your "C:\Users\{your username}\AppData\Local\Stud.io\CustomParts" (Windows) The parts will then be available in Custom Parts palette of Studio Screenshots Entry-Page Example result for query "47373" Details of the zipfile structure of an example part Here is an example of the structure and the needed subparts for one Shock Absorber ("47373-f1"): Some example results as direct links of parts missing in Studio: 65151-f1.zip - Technic Shock Absorber 11L Soft (Extended) 65151-f2.zip - Technic Shock Absorber 11L Soft (Compressed) 47373-f1.zip - Technic Shock Absorber 11L/9L (in Extended Position, not Pre-Tensioned) 47373-f2.zip - Technic Shock Absorber 11L/9L (in Extended Position, Pre-Tensioned) 47373-f3.zip - Technic Shock Absorber 11L/9L (in Compressed Position, not Pre-Tensioned) 47373-f4.zip - Technic Shock Absorber 11L/9L (in Compressed Position, Pre-Tensioned) Updates January 2023: Fix: Nightly refresh of LDraw unofficial files working now, it was buggy before and stuck on the releases from ~August 2022 version Feature: Unofficial files may be downloaded via a new checkbox. Searches are exclusive here, so having the checkbox set means it only goes through the unofficial list (but may grab sub assemblies from the official, where needed) UI: Added Dark Mode awareness UI: Added Font-Awesome Icons for downloads UI: Some tweaks (all professional webdesigners: hush hush, nothing to see here... don't look at my nasty css quirks :P) May 2023: Fix: Textures are now included (they werent before..)

As @amorti already pointed out, its the shocks... unfortunatly those arent stiff enough.

Thanks for this lovely Motorcycle & the possibility to have the it built for testing and creating some video footage of it to share @piterx! ❤ Review: This lil' beast is blasting over the floor with astonishing 22kph / 13.67 mph (meassured with the SkyRC GPS probe) Videos Shorts (out of the above video, but in 9:16 perspective) Short #1 Short #2 Short #3

I have done that... one just needs to file ~1mm away. But I did it only once for testing 🙊🙈

@dickylaban EB gives a nice experience to all people with its forums - which you are currently destroying with your nonsense here (and also on your fb page with your vendetta vs me since yesterday when I gave you my wish to not expose my real name any further.). Instead of respecting my privacy you are even posting more stuff afterwards in which you are acusing me of being to poor to buy your instructions ("he can not afford it"). You are totally wrong on this, The thing is: From my experience with RC Bikes built out of LEGO I already know that your Hubless-Bike won't do a turn without falling over - in consequence I don't need to buy your instructions to proof my opinion. Here in the forum I asked about video footage to proof me wrong, because MAYBE your Bike has some cool technical solution which made it possible - You never delivered any and just pointed towards your manual which I shall buy to find out. I still don't know what is triggering you that much to go on your emberrasing-vendetta instead of just proving me wrong... Is it because I brought the price you told me in here? If so, I wasn't aware and also you didn't say anything about I shall not disclose this information to the public. Sidenote 1: I havent released any instruction for one of my RC Motorcycles yet, so your are repeatingly confusing me with (proberly) @amorti.. Seems like the best solution... I think we don't get into an technical discussion here again... *sadface

Dude - you are emberassing yourself to the public - don't you get it? 🤦‍♂️ I just wanted you to not take my real name and now you are doing it on purpose and even on your FB Page? What does this tell about your character? Calm down again and let's talk about technical solutions...

I am having my custom-parts-workaround, so I am happy for now - thanks for taking this to the DEVs! Edit: I did post it directly to the Studio Forums (https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7602&p=23082&sid=b9cb10b7279213cd79aeab6f4e99376d#p23082)

@SylvainLS One last thing: If you report this to Studio Devs: Seems the regular shocks (731c06) also have the 494 color code and will be rendered with white springs..

https://imgur.com/a/6dPFgt3 Yeah... EB has imgur banned it seems to be included as pictures... Sometimes I wish one would tell the admin we are not living in the 90s anymore and nobody of us has analogue modems with 56k bandwidth anymore... T___T

On the left there is the original spring, on the right the fixed part with chrome silver color for the spring: For me the 108 spring isn't as tall as the spring from the shocks.. @SylvainLS: Oh snap - but yeah with .io being recognized as domain in WYSIWYG Editors, it makes sense to keep the dot out of the name :)

@1963maniac There is only one single spring for me, which is Part 108 and this is not the one of the 9L shock absorbers. :) Edit: I did another test and copied the working (complete) shock absorber .dat file and deleted the lines for the upper and lower arms to just let the reference to the spring in it (with the 383 colour code). Importing that into Stud.io's custom palette now gives me the spring as single part to be combined with the upper and lower arms (if needed / wanted). So kudos to @SylvainLS again for your great help!

@1963maniac The Spring itself is missing or at least not findable with the terms "shock" or "spring" in the Master repository. I tried to export it as single part and that didn't work out as @SylvainLS pointed out. But opening the 74741-f1.dat and adjusting the colour code of the line which includes the spring worked.

It works like a charm! Thank you very much. One last thing: You also have the spring rendered in white with the original file, so may there be an error in that part in the LDraw repository? Again, big thanks for your immediate help! ♥

Unluckily not with the photorealistic renderer (at least not for me) - I added two screenshots of the renders with the regular shocks and the manually put together one with my modified spring-file

Hello, I already looked through the pinned help topics but didn't find any related topic. Here is my problem: I want the springs (u9409-f1.dat) of the 2909c03 shock absorbers to have customizable colour in Stud.io, because they are being rendered white. What I already tried: Editing the .dat file directly and replacing the "16"/"24" color codes by "383" (colour code for "Chromed Silver" which would be my color of choice) and loading the adjusted part into PartDesigner (where the colour of the part in the UI changed) - but after exporting this to Stud.io it stays white and non-adjustable. Documentations I found: LDraw .dat Format: https://www.ldraw.org/article/218.html#colours LDraw Colour Definition: https://www.ldraw.org/article/547.html Any help appreciated, thanks in advance!

I am also looking forward for them releasing the announced Q1 features, plus waiting for Q2 features to be scheduled. Unluckily my requested failsafe feature won't be one of the next ones - making it a gamble to try highspeed runs with BW3 and its limited range.. :(

MK has proportional (more like a stepped) control with their 4.0 and 6.0 systems already. Remotes can be used via app, additionally for both there is a transmitter with the sticks instead of the D-pads available). From the videos of SteinchenWerkstatt it seems that the new white-top CaDA RC Box still sucks when it is compared to the MK 4.0 system. Edit: I hate people with uncut nails doing videos... 🤢

I bought myself an Insta360 Go2 to create onboard footage of my RC MOCs. The results are incredible for 27g weight of the camera itself and its really tiny formfactor. The sensor and the resolution are also very good and it gives the possibility to create 16:9, 9:16 (both 1440p50 at maximum) or 1:1 out of the original footage. Last but not least it has a feature of automatical horizontal stabilization. Example Footage: Same in 9:16 format: More videos can be found in my YT channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC59UvUX5EhDzD8-JX6CCcuw/

Another little update with a new body as my interpretation of a Ducati Panigale

Thanks also from my side! Finally flipflop beams in Stud.io! :D

I am having a RC Superbike with a single swingarm for the rear wheel - regular ABS plastic is meltiung there due to forces being applied (gravity, tension of the chain) - I solved it by a special 5L liftarm with a ballbearing which are sold by a British company. Those work out great and I wish more of the brands would go into that direction..

Ah yeah sorry, I forgot to mention this... MK stopped them because they had some issues with them. I am ignorant and ordered some from Ali... At least they work for me - until now :D

@whitepen I am currently using MouldKing servo motors. In the white version of the Superbike I put one of their proportional / stepped servos in. It has 3-4 Positions to one side (don't exactly remember the count of steps)

Little update from my side: Currently building the v0.2 with some little improvements over the initial v0.1. This one will be modeled after the (even tuned) Kawasaki Ninja H2R from TrickStar - with the two Buwizz buggy motors this shall be the one setting or breaking speed records (36.5 km/h *cough cough*).
