partly because of the rubber bands but also because the fact that the axle can flex as it is so long meaning the gears will slip easily Piterx, your changing mechanism looks very complex

I personally have never cut or glued anything, but I don't mind if others do, it's their money

There's no problem with that gap in my opinion, the connection is still strong...

That doesn't look reliable or strong...

Beautiful @everyone who doesn't think it should go in this forum, do you have a better suggestion? It's sort of Model Team...

Sounds like a problem with your printer settings... check in print preview

Looking good you're doing a better job than I am

I think it's a screenshot, which you can find inbone of the menus at the top of LDD

I'll probably build this, at some point, looks very neat

Capacitors store electrical power till they are full and then release it. I think...

Great creation as always zblj some nice ideas in there too I am brutal to my Lego And i just don't mind if pieces get scratched...

Gearbox wise: This works great, but it needs extra bracing but I don't know if it's small enough..

Yeah that's what I was planning to do... hopefully I should be able to do that

Supercar WIP - Rough Layout by legomuppet9, on Flickr Supercar WIP - Wheels with black rims by legomuppet9, on Flickr Better with the black rims? I personally think so

I personally just have the ones you have, and otherwise just make my own custom hubs like I know sheepo does on almost all his MPS axles (http://www.sheepo.es/search/label/MPS) This way you can get more complex geometry's and more strength, if you don't mind them being slightly bulkier

I can change the white rims to black... but they're unfortunatelyvthe only wheels I have that'll fit...

Hello I have made pretty decent work on my latest MOC, a 1:9 scale supercar. It's going to be mechanically based on the Ford Capri MkIII 2.8i, but mid-engined, as there isn't space over the front axle and I doubt that it'll look like a Ford Capri either for the two reasons of 1) I won't have the right parts and 2) I'm rubbish at building bodywork Anyway onto the model so far.... Supercar WIP - Rough Layout by legomuppet9, on Flickr It will feature: A 4 speed Gearbox (a motorised version of MisterFitzGibbon's version of Sariel's 4 speed linear gearbox with the addon of changing gear with one motion) McPherson front suspension with steering driven by an M Motor (a narrower version of Sheepo's McPherson I suspension in his MPS) Semi Elliptic Leaf Spring rear suspension with drive (An adapted version of Sheepo's brand new Semi Elliptic Leaf Spring suspension which I suggested for him to build (thanks for that Sheepo ) which I have attached to nicjasno's rigid axle he uses on his small leaf spring suspension, so with the old differential.) A fake V6 engine (mid-engined as it will not fit above the front axle as it should on the actual Ford Capri) Full RC (It'll be driven by an XL Motor) More pictures of the Gearbox: Supercar WIP - Gearbox by legomuppet9, on Flickr Supercar WIP - Gearbox by legomuppet9, on Flickr Supercar WIP - Gearbox by legomuppet9, on Flickr More pictures of the Front Axle: Supercar WIP - Front McPherson Suspension by legomuppet9, on Flickr Supercar WIP - Front McPherson Suspension by legomuppet9, on Flickr Supercar WIP - Front McPherson Suspension by legomuppet9, on Flickr Supercar WIP - Front McPherson Suspension by legomuppet9, on Flickr And more pictures of the Rear Axle: Supercar WIP - Rear Semi-Elliptic Leaf Spring Suspension by legomuppet9, on Flickr Supercar WIP - Rear Semi-Elliptic Leaf Spring Suspension by legomuppet9, on Flickr Supercar WIP - Rear Semi-Elliptic Leaf Spring Suspension by legomuppet9, on Flickr Next step is to actually put it all together... I don't quite have all the necessary RC components, but I hopefully will soon and in the meantime I will start to attach it all together, which I'm not that great at I must admit (hence why it's been left till last... ) Any comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated legomuppet9

Absolutely stunning

Thank you for that sheepo, very useful

Well that would be centered more over the rear, and where are you going to get a person small enough?

Looks awesome, little more weight on the front perhaps to stop it lifting it's front wheels off the ground every time it sets off?

That's neat, it has a big carrying capacity and extends quite far, so would be very useful to make if I had that cylinder

I would like parts to make better and smaller gearboxes which are easy to motorise...

I got a slightly imcomplete one for that much so don't get just the wheels....

On the front axle at least, it's because the body is resting on the axle
