thank you really much lipko :) it's clear now now i just need to find a way to dismount the spring from the shock absorber XD

eheh i haven't linked any image! I just wanted to know the theory of the live axle...for example, if the rotation point of the link should be parallel to the one of the cardanic joint bsically i'd like to make something like this for my pajero... but i guess that if i use the 4 link it gets easier because the cardanic joint would be in the center and the links are one on top and the other below...am i right?

hey guys! Even if i've already made live axles i still don't get the exact geometry... where should i place the links? and should i use 2 cardanic joints? because otherwise, if i use the ball joint the wheels tend to rotate around that point...wich is a thing that i don't want....i just want the axle to go straight up thank you :)

lol nice idea! very original!

it's looking really good :)

as i previously said in another similar thread Internet is made for sharing.... If you share, someone will take what you share to do whatever he wants with it... It's just a moral thing and a lot of people don't even know what "morality" means :P deal with it! humans are crap XD

oh yeah! compared to the blueprint there's still more than 1 stud aviable for the hood :) im just not that sure about the look of the upper part of the fake engine...looks more like a supercharged...i might take that out...hmmmm

moving that axle led me to an infinite number of lucky events that allowed me to put almost everything under the hood, fake engine included so really thank you XD now i just need to make the rear axle with lockable differential and brakes and the chassis is complete :)

XD probably because your cars weigh something near to the real counterparts lol

Now it's definitely better :) I've solved every problem it had, expecially in the shifting mechanism It's still an un-synchronized gearbox wich means that sometimes the shift may not happen at first try but at least there's no grinding... I've tried it on the ground and a single L motor is able to carry with a temporary FWD setup over 700g till the 4th gear reaching a totally unexpected speed XD i'm surely gonna need a powerful braking system...

ok! the gearbox works fine! and the shift mechanism is precise the only thing wich i don't like is that sometimes it struggles in shifting because of the non-synchro gears i'm using... so now i'm updating the gearbox as someone before was saying: 1 stud offset and 20th gears...i'll update another video later to show if it works better or not :) it should also give a faster speed for each gear :) hope you like my dev's diary :)

\m/ it rocks :D

this guy here is using a different piece wich i don't have that could be really better...by the way it's the same system also Jaco4 had in his video...but he was crediting someone that i wasn't able to find... the different thing between mine and theirs is that im using a servo and my "stopping part" is smaller oh well, who cares XD

here's the shifting mechanism the original idea was from Jaco4 i think...i just made it smaller and with a servo hope you like it Basically what it does is making the shaft rotating 90° per time...so now i only need to clean everything and connecting it to a gear rack to switch gear

that should be a rim of one of the model team sets from the 90's...you can easily find that part on bricklink :)

eh nice question! i can't say wich kit you should buy to get something similar because all the pieces i used belong to different sets spreaded in the time line... for example the motors are out of production, same thing for the wheels... if you're new you should just get a set that you like and start learning from that :P

here it is: two separate pieces with the centrifugal force the rubber parts make the dark grey rim spin the motor is connected to the part with rubber things, the gearbox is connected to the rim :)

yeah i thought about that...i'll probably do that for another big scale model...for this one i'd like to make the gearbox the smaller i can but anyway it's not a big problem! and the clutch will help a lot :)

i'm not sure yet...probably a servo would be better because it gets to its original position but i have only two servos...one for the gearbox and another destinated to the steering rack....unless i use an M motor for the steering.... or pay 40 euros for another servo XDXDXDXD

yeah i know those wheels but i don't have them and mainly they don't look as the real ones :P in the meanwhile i had to change the gearbox because the reverse was skipping...so it became a 4+N+R....and now the grinding problem is finally solved lol

your macpherson setup is simply un-improvable XD

i like the engine and the suspension setup :) looking forward to see it complete!

Before going crazy thinking a way to build the activation mechanism, i thought it was time to test the gearbox. You can see it has the same configuration that the fulvia had except for the fact that i geared the L motors down to have a better torque... I might use one or two XL motors at the end...i'm not sure yet The nice thing is that the gearbox has such a small friction, that if you push it, it doesn't make any resistance....seems like there's no gearbox at all wich is good :D I've used the perfect Nicjasno's mac pherson structure, hope he won't mind :P It's just impossible doing it better than that! For proportions fidelity i can't add disc brakes to the front wheels...so i have to decide if it's better having a braking system directly on the main shaft or on the rear axle... To be sincere the wheels are 1 stud too wide...but that's not going to affect the final look that much

my deepest condolences dude...that's so sad :\

yeah i hate when that happens! probably for a sport car i wouldn't add suspensions...
