In the video you see me shifting from 1st gear to 3rd and that was my intention :P it's true that it doesnt snap so good as the sheepo's version, but it's also true that you can shift very quickly from a gear to another... we just need an idea to use it with a servo motor, that will solve every problem! i'll try to think to something lol

can't wait :) i hope photos are clear enough to rebuild it :)

hmmm it's strange that goes so slow...probably for the high weight of the car.... i tested mine with an L motor moving only itself and it seemed good...i'll have to check how its gonna go when i'll add some weight

ok the video is now aviable i apologize for the poor quality of the video...im in a hurry...im gonna upload another one soon :)

ok here's the download link http://www.mediafire...5jkew38lqt3gsvc there are only pictures...i hope they will help :) if you need something in particular ask me! if you can't understand how gears are set, look at the sheepo's instructions on his site, it's pretty much the same except for the two 8 - 24 teeth gears outside the gearbox's head

that clutch works very well with every torque...but if you want to reinforce it, you could cut a 3 stud axle in 3 pieces and fill with a self made 1stud axle those holes, as sometimes they bend on theirselves... im a bit ashamed about it ahaha...i dont know!, i only know that the third gear is 1:1 and the first is 8 teeth knob with the 24 teeth one...dunno about the second and the R gear :P sorry! anyway im uploading a pack of images so you can download it

yeah the two slopes push the yellow pins and when they are pushed switch in a direction or in the other the levers that control the gears selector. unfortunately i have no time to make instructions...i took some photos let me edit them and try to write something on them to make you re-build it :)

yeah i know it...i'll try to dismount it as much as i can to let you rebuild it...im also gonna upload a video in one hour or two :) let me take the pictures of it....il get back in 10 minutes :)

Hi guys! I was a bit unsure to post it before putting it in the car I'm building but: here's my sequential gearbox based on sheepo's one...it's smaller, only 15x13 studs and it has the one way clutch to separate it from the engine. At the moment it only has 3 gears + R because i had only 2 red gear selectors :P but you can easily extend it to 5 or more... My aim was to make something small and light (as always lol) Unfortunately i havent enough english skills to describe exactly how it works but it should be pretty clear :D It has'nt the "snap" that the sheepo's version has, so you need to pay attention when you shift gears because you can get into the neutral...but I'll try to adapt it with servo motor to make it more precise... though it's good enough. I hope you like it and you'll be able to improve it for the community's benefit :) -> some pictures to let you re-build it here's a detail of the "sled" used to move the yellow pins.... the white rim is the one way clutch (that i wrongly called "free wheel" lol) anyway, the M motor can easily be placed somewhere else, that was the fastest option i choosed :P hope this is gonna be useful for you all SHARE OR DIE !!!

yeah that's exactly the same point of view that i had :) to the hell the hype...ill publish it now ;)

yeah I already took some pictures :P it's just a matter of "hype" should i keep it or share everything now? from a side im tempted to share it now coz id like to show it to you all...from the other side i'd like to share it when you all can see its potential :P to be or not to be! lol

hi guys! i got a big doubt about what to do: i've made a 15x13 studs 3+R gearbox improving dimensions of the sheepo's gearbox... im a bit unsure if i should publish it now or finish the Fiat 126 im building around it first.. what would you suggest :P ?

well done dude! nice moc :)

cool moc :) maybe the tyres are too small? but it looks good anyway :)

hey man! welcome! that's cool, could you also shoot a video? im curious to see how it rides as i got that model too :)

hehe cool moc dude :) i always like unusual things like this model!

yeah I loved that model so much when i was kid but i never had that :P so 2 years ago i bought an used one and now it's on my library :D

Hey guys! These days I've been building this model inspired by the 1994's 8858 :) it has power functions with servo for steering XL motor for drive witha gear ratio of 1:1 ...it's not a perfect replica, coz i've built it quickly and without old instructions to match the proportions....it just reminds that model :) i hope you like it up the oldschool style!

yeah i don't like very much the front part but i need those black plates to avoid snow reaching the motors....i need to invent something for the "hood" its too simple :P

Hi guys! I've already made one snowmobile once ( )but that thing was slow and heavy...so i decided to build a new one i hope that you'll like it :) as soon as the snow comes down ill shoot a video too it has L motor and servo for steering, all suspension that it needs and its weight is 400g

new snowmobile incoming :P give me some hours lol

ah...and of course you'll need a gearbox with reverse :)

yeah! you don't even need to make it that big...its enough if you make it like this if the model has really a lot of torque you could cut a 3 studs axle in 3 parts and put it inside of the empty part of the rubber (sorry i hope i've been clear xD) this because those rubber parts tend to bend on theirselves if the torque is too high...but with an XL motor we all know what usually happends xD i solved that problem filling the rubber parts with a "self made" 1 stud axle :P

i used that mechanism in this moc...it was so cool that im using it in the new offroad car im building now :) here's the video where i took inspiration from :) but you'll need a brake system because otherwise your model won't stop when desidered :P

very cool moc dude! :) im developing a compact 4+R sequential gearbox that could make your car go incredibly fast :P i hope ill finish it soon so i can show it to everyone :)
