    These are some really great creations! Welcome to Eurobricks!

    Could you post some pics of your modified chassis design?

    I was probably going to do it sometime anyway... I somehow have more battery boxes than working motors.

    I don't know the current rating. It probably depends on what type of AA batteries you use. I haven't experrimented with the current limiter, but I'll give it a try, since I have some extra battery boxes.
  5. Technyk32231
    I said I thought about it. I still am not sure about it though. You know, you can still run higher power motors at the standard current from a Lego battery box. The current and voltage rating is just a maximum.

    Very nice! I like how you were able to accomplish 4wd and steering in a small space while keeping the original look and most of the original parts.

    I'm thinking about putting a Dewalt drill motor in Lego. My dad works at Dewalt, and he can easily get free tools.

    Some racecars do that, but they accomplish it by using reverse Ackermann geometry.

    Look at the suspension on this trophy truck. I'm sure it could be adapted for SLA. The trophy truck suspension also has kingpin inclination, which moves the steering pivot closer to the center of the wheel. http://mocpages.com/moc.php/372342

    You could steer with a train remote, and put gearing in between the two dials. Each dial would correspond to a servo motor, and each axle would have different steering lock.

    On a heavy car, it won't even really be noticeable. In real life, it sometimes takes a hammer to move a ball joint in a car. I'm pretty sure that 42000 uses the same rims as the unimog.

    Food work...?

    I probably won't build a body, as I find that unless the body is really light weight, the performance decreases. I think you would be fine with small turntables if you then located the axle in front, like this solution by efferman: http://m.flickr.com/lightbox?id=7984676530&context=set-72157631531884400

    You linked to the same topic you posted the link in...

    Double or even triple chains work well though.

    Man that's cool! Do you mind if I try to reconstruct it?
  17. Technyk32231
    Like this?

    There is no way to use Unimog portal axles with a ratio of over 1:1. It is impossible to fit anything larger than a 16 tooth gear in the top part.
  19. Technyk32231
    Nice RC4WD tires! They even look like stock Lego tread!
  20. Technyk32231
    Or you could use a setup similar to that of a ratchet wrench. You could have a clutch gear setup change the direction of the ratchet and then you could go both directions, and stop when needed.
  21. Technyk32231
    I believe that is the portal hub from the 8110 Unimog.
  22. Technyk32231
    You can use kingpin inclination.

    In some factories in China that produce batteries, there is cadmium dust everywhere. Nobody wears any kind of protection. My dad has even found several dead bugs in some packs for a company that DeWalt was looking at. I don't think Legos should be produced in such a hellish place.
  24. Technyk32231
    Idler gears don't have any effect on the final gear ratio, unless there are 2 gears on one shaft. Example: An 8t, 24t, and 40t gear meshed inline. 8:24 = 1:3. 24:40 = 3:5. 1:3 x 3:5 = 1:5. Or... 8:40 = 1:5.

    It's not quite 9398, but it does have 4 XL motors. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=522869
