  1. Any more details of the RWD/AWD engagement system? Been trying to figure out a good solution to that for one of my builds and it looks like you got it perfect! Great work!
  2. Any other images of the steering geometry? Looks like an interesting build! Great work!
  3. This seems like they may just be separating the loader from the truck in the 42175 set?
  4. I really enjoyed @kbalage review, but this may have shifted my willingness to buy this set upon release in a few weeks. I was expecting more speed, but compared to the 42124 it seemed to be lacking. I also saw that in the video and wondered if the rear outputs are spinning at the same speed as the side outputs? The hub itself is interesting because of the lights and the compact size, but I'll wait to see if the folks at BrickController get it worked into the app before I purchase.
  5. I guess I'm in the minority, but I really like this set. My only minor issue is the single rear axle on the truck with the small 49.5x14 tires. Wish TLG would've gone with either a dual rear axle or at least 56mm tires on the truck. Same with the small tires on the trailer.
  6. Decided to post an open discussion looking for ideas for your MOC trailers. I am currently working on my fleet of Technic RC vehicles and trying to find the best trailer design. I have gotten my MOC 42110 pretty much geared to where I want it and it's capable of some mild crawling and towing. So far the issues I'm running into are the coupler for the hitch and the trailer axles. I'm leaning towards a single axle now but I'd rather use a walking beam design. Any ideas you all have would be greatly appreciated!
  7. What is skid steer? I see that you ran 2 separate drive lines for each side of the vehicle? I'm very interested in how this works in regard to steering and turning radius.
  8. This turned out awesome! Great build! This build inspired me to start my own 6x6 RC vehicle and I had a few questions for you. What is the gear ratio coming from your drive motor? Any issue with not using differentials on the axles?
  9. Awesome work! The dual steer axles are great! Is it a single servo to steer both front/rear axles?
  10. I assumed it was geared "UP" but maybe I'm mis-understanding how we explain UP versus Down when discussing geared differentials. Either way, I'm still very curious what the gear ratio is for this piece.
  11. Just curious, what's the gear ratio for this style of differential? Based on the size and shape I have to assume it's geared up (small gear on input axle to larger gear on drive axle).
  12. I've been re-reading through this thread as I've been doing some testing with my hubs and motors recently. Does anyone have, or know where I could find a comprehensive list of the Powered Up pre-set controls for the various sets? What I mean by this is, I know for the 42124 set that the A port is the drive control and the B port is the steering control. I have been using this as a test base for some of my MOC variations and using the BrickController2 and a BT remote for more controlled drive testing. If we had a list of the various sets and the correct ports for each that maybe immensely helpful to those who just want to use the app "as is" for a testing base.
  13. Was trying to control multiple PU motors with just my smartphone for my Landrover MOC. But the coding issues and the lack of precise control made it almost impossible to drive. Brickcontroller seems to be easier to use and interface with my xbox remote. I'm just starting to learn more about the PU hubs and motors. I'm not as familiar with buzzwizz and it seems it's not as easily available in the US anyways.
  14. THanks @Andman I found that thread after posting here. Unfortunately I don't think I can get the type of controls I need out of the PU app. Back to using Brickcontroller and an old XBOX remote for me.
  15. Resurrecting an old thread: Has anyone used this app since the updates? I'm trying to program my controller for my MOC and the updates have changed the blocks around quite a bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
