Hello, I built an another buggy and it has: 4WD drive, lights, caster angle, 15° steering angle and suspension travel of around 4 studs. I wanted to keep it as small and compact as it can get without having to do gearing stuff (except for the rear drive), and was able to bring it down to 24cm wide and 39cm long. It's really performant, just one of my buwizzes gets to the orange light quicker than the other. Ideal for the rainy days that are in Poland now. And some pictures: Just wanted to share it. You're welcome to share your thoughts!

Really cool! The helmet looks really nice and stands out.

I don't want to change the topic, but I also have a question about PF servos. I bought a original lego one, and when I use it with brickcontroller 2 then sometimes when I steer to the side, and go back to the "standby?" position, it goes rapidly a little to the left, then a little to the right, a few times and goes back to normal. I heard about servo calibration, but that's only for control+ servos here if I remember correctly. Do you know if it's an issue with brickcontroller or something else?

Hey, great model! Very impressive that you managed to make something rigid and so big. I'm making a model in similiar scale myself, which I think I made my most recent post about, and recently I swapped these old hubs for new ones, becaouse they fell apart and the old cv joints for the front steering drilled the front hub. The new ones also don't jiggle that much.

I watched a part of it and I always didn't like that I couldn't turn the servo eg. 45°, so I think I'm sold for the official one For controlling switches they are a briliant idea, I never thought about it. But what does stepless mean?

Proportional means that if I move my gamepad's joystick 3/4, not full, then thw motor will be 3/4 the way to 90 degrees too? On my one that was like the 48th time that the same happened I could look into geekservo more, but sadly I already have my car built with the shape of the PF servo, and I'm too lazy to change that

Hello, recently I repaired my servo motor's cable, but the next day the pcb plate inside it burnt. It must've been me flipping the motor so that the things for soldering cables could touch the plate. Anyways, I don't have a servo now, and I have a couple of options. I thougth I could buy some cheap random servo from allegro, which is a polish amazon or something like that, a cada one, or an original Lego. If you could help, maybe have some experience with servos, I appreciate anything! The most I'm curious about is are the original Lego ones worth it? It's a big price difference, but I think it could be worth it. What are your thoughts?

Thanks a lot! I'll get these when I'll be able to

What are these rollers and bearing?

I think I have no other option than buy these ones ( from 42160 ), but is the wheel further from the balls than in the one with crossholes? I mean if it will make the distance between wheels larger when I would just change the hubs.

Yes, that's exactly the one I was looking at when I was building. Although I first saw it on a photo where there was the dark green one you built, and I prefer that one more then the one I built. Really like your model! and as an update I'm rebuilding my Ukko Pekka, and I hope it will be miles better Oh and how did you do the lights?

Hello again, I wanted to ask if anyone had problems with this wheel hub? I used it for a couple of months for my rc cars, but recently the dark gray thing that connects to the wheel started to fall off from the black thing. Also the light gray cv joint part that connects to it is painfully damaged and actually doesn't rotate the wheel hub anymore

I just saw this and very cool! I'm all in for snowy trains and lights. And could you say what is going on "behind the scenes"? I'm quite curious how you did it.

That's looking really cool and the chassis is really clean compared to my builds, and cool idea with the cardans for the front glass. I think that technic sets are a bit wiggle-wiggle as I say and not very sturdy so that's probably why your has more parts.

Hello, I made a post some time ago with a different buggy I made, and it was ( as @Aurorasaurus said ) painfully similiar to the Greyhound. Now this one's also similiar in concept, but I tried to stick everything close together, and not make it unnecessary big, becaouse it's easier to make it rigid that way. The big thing that I did here is I rotated the front motors 90 degrees so that I can fit the suspension's "arms" above the motor, which I didn't do in my previous one. It makes the space between wheels smaller, AND it's easier to build! There are a couple of problems tho: the rear suspension is way to strong, but I'll try just putting weaker springs, the steering gear rack is sometimes clicking and "dispositioning" from the center, and the front is really wiggle-wiggle ( that is it's not really staying straight ). You're welcome to comment and have a nice day! Here are some pictures: How the front is connected: And that's how it looks in general:
