    Why the 4 rows of yellow half bushes? Get the pivot points closer to the wheels by using 4l longer liftarms and omitting the bushes. This will greatly improve the steering response and the wheels won't travel so much in the wheel wells.

    This is just an incredible feat of lego engineering. Respect!
  3. nicjasno
    That's not really a limited slip differential.

    This includes everything. The pivot of the universal joint would ideally have to be half a stud more towards the wheel, so it'd be on the imaginary line between the upper and lower balljoint. I didn't bother with the steering. Too much effort at such late hour. Just remember that the steering links have to be paralel to the lower wishbones. Both from the top view and from the front view.

    This can be made 1 stud narrower. 3 studs, if you use another set of hubs as steering links.

    The effects are very well felt on the steering of a model. And operating a model via HoG with good suspension geometry is a very rewarding expirience. I made this here in a hurry:

    Far from it. The effects are clearly visible on cars in real life. Park your car with wheels at full lock and go see what happens. Then imagine the car leaning into a corner.

    Smallest realistically possible (limitation here being the 6l steering links):
  9. nicjasno
    Doesn't quite fit. Oh well, we'll have to use inline engines and/or electric propulsion.

    Poor. (yes, i'm being honest here) You got all the engles wrong. And you added complexity to a simple layout without adding anything to it, like caster angle, kingpin inclination or anything else. The driveshaft is also at the wrong angle. And the hub itself is also not good, because it pushes the wheel further from the pivot points.

    This would also allow a direct connection of the steering wheel to the steering rack > much reduced slack

    Those box frames are a true godsend.

    It's nice to drive there indeed. :) More detail pics:

    Thanks. I restored it myself.
  16. nicjasno
    Yes. A 1989 325i touring.

    Because of the slack in lego small ball joints. They point perfectly straight when the car is on all 4 wheels and there is also no bump steer. My next car will ofc have bionicle ball joints again. I hate this slack.

    As much as i like diesel locos and trains in general, i don't think that'd make good technic model.

    What do you mean? There is just as much friction as in an unmodified small turntable. The dark bluish gray hubs are superglued to the light bluish gray rotor parts, creating the wheel hub lego should have made. (well... we need hubs with 8880 CV joints, but that's an entirely different matter) Having said that, i do lubricate them just as i lubricate any wheel hub that i use (big turntable hubs, normal axle connections..)

    As JJ2 already said, the inlets are drilled to 1.8mm, just as the cylinders in the LPEpower engines and there's springs inside. The inlets don't have to be broken off like in the pics. I have just taken the most abused cylinders, to save the good ones for the engines.
  23. nicjasno
    I'm definetly not buying this.
  24. nicjasno
    Very good review! Kinda confirms what i suspected, unfortunately. To me, the benchmark for lego models is still 8880.
  25. nicjasno
    It all depends on the gearing, but i reckon even one would be enough to move it. It's not that heavy.
