The Reaper 4 x 4
z3_2drive replied to Doc_Brown's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Yeah! I might just let this survive in one piece for a while! It runs at about 10 volts the rear axle stalls on hard climbs but like you mentioned it doesnt heat up! one other thing is the lego battery I think weighs more, so yours has more weight on the front for climbs- 44 replies

I've built it! Since I couldnt see exactly how you built your axles I improvised, and of course I also built a different chassis, here's a video: ] change quality to hd (720p) for better resolution- 44 replies

[WIP] Compact Fiat Punto Rally
z3_2drive replied to piterx's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
hmm...what you are describing is almost exactly like my 'SuperMini track car'! no suspension, servo steering, and 3:1 ratio from 2 L-motors! only difference is that I used differential, and it has very short wheelbase, plus it's very ugly here it is, I believe I made a topic about it too: -

Absolutely perfect. In fact, I love this so much I'll try and rebuild something similar to this if you don't mind I'm eager to see how it performs with my battery. Good thing I already have the adapter cables!- 44 replies

Caterham Seven
z3_2drive replied to Sheepo's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Any chance for some pictures of the front suspension with body removed? I'm really interested at how you made it EDIT: I know the bodywork is the frame but at least some of the hood can be removed... -
New Prototype Crawler Axle
z3_2drive replied to z3_2drive's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
eh, I've pretty much finished and to sum it up it has similar performance to AndyCW's KOTH crawler. It really could've used a lower ration for first gear. I'll make a pic of the steering and now I will begin taking apart the chassis to get at those buggy motors, so I can have a shot at my next rc project- a small fast car hopefully with suspension :) -
New Prototype Crawler Axle
z3_2drive replied to z3_2drive's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I used it because of the simple mounting method but will probably change it I've been meaning to make a topic about this concerning how they were made and what is required to charge them once you have it. More details might be shown there. For now it's a maybe. -

yes I'm going to be working on the steering this week -
New Prototype Crawler Axle
z3_2drive replied to z3_2drive's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Well I'm back with huge progress. I had a bit of time yesterday after winning some races on DiRT3 and got to work on figuring out the extremely tricky link mounts on the chassis for the front end-One being the 1/2 stud offset going on in some spots and Two being the mini LA getting in the way. But after some trial and error yesterday and today I finally got it perfect, along with improving the entire structure. I also added the front axle which I completed last week when my BL orders arrived. Now I need to strengthen the upper level of the chassis, figure out steering, and find a place to put my two batteries. Pics: ^just look at how many times I had to work out the offsets...the main superstructure is compact but I bet it will be a pain to take apart, I made sure to use as many '3l pin with bushing ends' as I could so dis-assembly would be easier. ^the bottom of the chassis turned out neat and sturdy. ^perfect example of how tight a fit everything was with the LA on the side... ^not as much articulation as I would like but this is because there is a limited amount of up/down travel because the middle of each of the u-joints in the chassis ends are directly underneath buggy motors, so If the shocks compressed any further then the u-joints would pop out. ^a nice fit, no rubbing between chassis and tire. *While taking photos I saw that I had not placed the bottom links on the front axle wide enough apart: But it was an easy fix: Enjoy and wish me luck with the rest of the build! -
Lancia Fulvia HF

I love this MOC, truly impressed, and as Nazgarot said, I would like to use the clutch or gearbox in a future MOC -
woah, just saw this pop up, looks amazing! are the outriggers pneumatic?

What do you mean by that? I'm sure it is-the LA keeps the driving ring in place solidly...
