    That is good news. ...if one is going to build some kind of gear shift mechanism. Hehe How tight is the fitting?

    Nice truck. It looks beefier with the thinner tires compered to the last one. And your last truck used all sorts of PF-Motors. What has this truck under the hood? i see an L-Motor and i would guess a Servo for steering? How is the crane operated?

    why not completely switching over to a Raspi (pico?) using after market gyro (they cost nearly nothing) and some voltage regulators to drive the motors? It involves some coding of course. On the other hand it could be a very light weight and heavily configurable way to drive the car.

    As i am totally into rally cars (and built one tiny 1/18 thing myself) i have to say that it is immediately recognizable as a Delta! Very well done with a lot of clever solutions. I have done the steering wheel connection on my tiny racer with a rocker arm rotating a gear which drives the wheel over another gear. Both are 8T by the way.

    Hey, 'opened this thread a few weeks ago and forgot about it. As I clean up my tabs I just rediscovered it. Is it necrobumping after 6 weeks? Just want to say thanks for your video. Nice handy transmitter.

    it depends on the size of your build. building larger scale (cars) i would tend to use one motor per wheel. But in smaller builds this differential is pretty smart. because it packs a lot of functionality into a very small form factor. Best wishes

    Nice details to use 99021 as handlebar.

    The topic haunted me until sleep tonight. I now felt somehow compelled to build my own version. Maybe the LBG gear sits a bit tight. @JoKo thank you for that great concept! it has potential to be built relatively compactly. ~ no more motorized differential locks. *wohoo Link to messy studio file: https://bricksafe.com/files/wop/studdstuff/AutoLockDifferentialByJoKo.io

    42139 seems to be a good part pack?. There are a lot of alternative builds out there - after such a short time. Nice car by the way!

    Brave car! The soft suspension looks very realistic and it even disintegrates like a real car. Thanks for the detailed pictures, especially of the drive train. Are those differentials in the motors 3D printed too? if yes, how long will they last/survive? Hours? Days? Weeks? Months?

    I don't know the Zetros that well, but if there is a port free on the PF hub, why not motorizing the sunshade?

    Didn't knew this kind of bushes. what I meant is https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=21560 (black armor round) and that part underneath.

    Damn What i mean is to nail the voltage to a specific value independent of the input. If the input is higher, of course. I wouldn't expect only a resistor to be enough. Didn't such an application need some "intelligence"?
  14. pow
    So much detail and clever usage of parts. Are those bionicle parts you use on the front of the handlebars?
  15. pow
    Didn't know that. A question that popped up after following this thread is how complicated it would be to cut the voltage. What i mean is that the LED should get only let's say 5 Volts even if the akkubox outputs more on that channel. So the LEDs can be used parallel to a motor.

    Nice build. are you planning to host that truck on rebrickable? you will clearly earn some attention for your shop.
  17. pow
    The first thing I have to admit is that I am only half competent. But what I do know about LEDs is that they pick up the amount of current based on the voltage applied. So if you want to run other LEDs you would need to know how much voltage they need. And if and how you have to adjust the circuit if necessary. It is also important that you do not use too many LEDs on one connector instead of two, so that too much current does not destroy the electronics. hope that is helpful.

    The le Mans racer is well done. Front and rear are brilliant. And everything in between connects the two parts very coherently. I have to admit, the racer somehow slipped under my radar, which is why I'm only writing about it now. The curved slopes at the front are a hit! And it has the right indoor speed, in my opinion. I'm not that into trucks. But apart from the narrow cabin, it's a really coherent and clever build. I think it's great what you were able to model with lift arms (especially the radiator grille - simple and consistent).

    Ok , i will see if it's possible to build a multi linkage virtual pivot solution thingy. Never give up! Until you give up!

    Nice build. Are there two gears (a mid sized and a small one) between the differentials so they are blocked? What is the benefit of the differentials on your hill climber? Best wishes
  21. pow
    Maybe it is that simple...
  22. pow
    Yes i did. The way i would use it is sandwiched between two thin fixed liftarms. Something like this: (just a quick mockup) No i haven't. I'm focused on rotating solutions at the moment. It's pretty clever to be honest. I will do a quick mock up soon, just to get a feeling for the size. That is a very well developed car. I will try to adapt that gear lever to the small space the old lady has to offer.

    Thanks @2GodBDGlory for testing. 24122 has smaller sidearms. Is it 2 bricks wide? Not sure. 27940, the part you mentioned is a very good alternative but it is 3 bricks wide and so interferes with the steer train next to the gear lever. @Thirdwigg nice drive train! The diff at the back is pretty unusual. I can imagine you did this not just for fun?! I wasn't able to find the particular model on your rebrickable page because it seems you are a very productive person with a high model output. ;) The gear lever you are using in your drive train, is it similar two this one... ? DrJB also pointed on that solution. Thanks again for this. :) It is my plan B ...or maybe C. I try to be as original as possible. Ant the old Lady has a gear shifter that rotates around a point. But... this is really just an excuse, because the steering linkage is in the way (see photo above) and I will have to rebuild the complete steering. Yup, 4x4x4 4 wheels all driven and steered. All your comments help a lot. Really appreciate your help. It motivates me enormously. Best wishes, keep safe.

    i have the strong feeling, this really could work. but if the dark turquoise plate modified rotates on the bar, than that could block the whole mechanism. ...so a lot of issues with that. i definitely try to build it and may be find a better solution while building. Did i get you wrong? the dark bluish gray part (24122)... ...won't rotate within the liftarm? Because Ben is utilizes it the same way in his approach. ...After checking some (not all) TLG sets using this piece. They only use it to stick other parts into the holes of 24122. Best wishes

    As the video proofs, we need more orange vehicles with yellow tracks! It is not slow but actually looks way faster in this livery.
