Flat baja-truck
Lixander replied to Lixander's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I wondered if this solution will work; some small modifications and I managed to integrate this and I am impressed - the toe-out is gone, even if the suspension is under load or no; only that the steering arms are a little under tension. -

Nope, there isn`t :/ The front is pretty secure though; it is just a little weak because the Technic curved 7x3 panel is not attached to the bottom, but it won`t come apart (so the steering rack is pretty safe). -

Started test-building it; everything good except that the mid-frame was moving because it wasn`t anchored properly and a slight toe-out that increases when the suspension is under load. -

I think that this will be ok, even if the steering arms are 5L not 6L. -

A new attempt, but still, I am not sure if the steering rack has enough ”freedom”. -

Yeah, but I can't find anything to link the steering arms if I put it in the normal position. I will try to fix the Studio tomorrow and make also a screenshot. -

I see and thanks for informing me. By the way @gyenesvi ; putting the steering rack perpendicular with the gear will work? Something like this: -

I am not sure if this is going to work (the writing is made with a mouse, so don`t mind how terrible it is) More refined version (down) -

I had some problems with the Studio - I keep getting the same Unity error screen that first freezes the program then closes it when the error screen progress is complete Despite that I managed to put proper wheel hubs on the rear and to modify the gear ratios and the number of gears with the motor height. I also tried to put on the front too, but I couldn`t found a solution for aligning the steering arms with the wheel hub because there is little to no space left. -

Oke...I know :)) Oh..........I see. Thanks! -

Lixander replied to Lixander's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks! And yes, the tires are 81mm. I don't know how to calculate the gear ratio for so many gears :/ If the motors run in the same direction, then lowering the motor and deleting a gear won't make it necessary to make a motor to run in the other direction than the other one? I will put some proper wheel hubs and potentially adding a differential. And there are Lego wheel hubs with bearings? Thanks for the advices! -

Worked on it; ready to be test-build........................sometime. Also, this thing, if no problems appear, will reap - look at the gear ratios that I managed to put in it. -
Just began another baja/ trophy-truck project, the other 2 (or 3) being ”canceled”. I managed to put 2x L motors and 1x servo motor, both Power Functions; it also has positive caster-angle, independent suspension in front and solid axle suspension on the rear, (at least) semi-detachable body and the headlights can be be lit (there are 4 pin-holes for installing lights).

Lixander replied to Lixander's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Then it matters :) I will re-render the last model when I got some free time But, I strongly recommend to use RC tires that fit Lego rims, especially if the model is used on rough terrains. On this one, you can use pretty much all the tires for the WPL RC cars installed on the 43.2 d. X 18 mm Lego rims; the performance will be better and the cost is pretty insignificant.- 20 replies

Lixander replied to Lixander's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Good to know, but, yeah, doesn`t matter that much on a MOC; I just rotated the right tires to fit the thread of the left ones...........and on the last model, they were different :)) Plus, not many people drag their RC Lego`s in water (repeatedly and fast).- 20 replies

Oke............but it is pretty annoying to make new renders just for some tires. But, eh, what else do I have to do- 20 replies

Thanks! I am not sure if I can point the tire threads in the same way, because the wheels sub-models are linked.- 20 replies

I had to get the pneumatic cylinder in pieces and the front 6.5L shock absorbers too, because they needed to be a little compressed. Anyway, if you gave me the links, it was a pity to not finish this properly. So, thanks!- 20 replies
