Should be easy. I think the following colors should work: - Yellow - Red - White - Black

What an interesting and unique MOC! Seems like you have a lot of heavy electronics quite high. How is with stability? -
[WIP] Pacific-Tatra T16-7
Zerobricks replied to AdamFMX's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
As I said before, i really recommend you build a physical version first before wasting time on digital failure... And yes, as Horick said this "chassis" will simply slide apart, pulling the axles out of bevel gears and you will loose all the drive. I recommend 19x3 frames for starters. -
Thank for all the positive comments. I was thinking of using the fake engine parts from the Kawasaki, but due to the nature of their design, I think they would cause more friction and wear than regular fake engine. I could also make a red version which would remove the need for black fenders and such, but yellow 3x7 panels were cheaper and I also think yellow is more of a Lamborghini color.

42172 - McLaren P1
Zerobricks replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
This makes no sense, what happened to 768 motors? Is marketing again not knowing what they are marketing? -
Thank you for the praise. What a cool render! Yeah you need to update LDD for all parts to be visible. Thanks for the kind praise. Regarding steering, there was no space or a path to put another steering rack, since it would have to be inverted and it would hit the fake engine. Also no way to pass a steering axle through the 7x5 frames. No issues for the 8 tooth gear, since it only has to carry a third of the motor torque and the wheels are geared 12,6x after it.

Thank you for the info. Power Functions you say? Not Powered Up? Wish we could get more details... -

They look like yellow frictionless pins which would make sense so the skin is more flexible. -
This is a model I've been working on for a few months for the BuWizz gathering and now it's finally time to showcase it. The rules required a 1:10 scale model built after a real vehicle with a working gearbox, steering wheel and fake engine powered by a maximum of 2 BuWizz motors. I also managed to squeeze additional functions and features as following: 2x BuWizz drive motors 1x BuWizz 3.0 for control Working steering wheel actuated by a PU L motor 2 Speed motorized gearbox controlled by a PU m motor All Wheel Drive using planetary hubs Independent double wishbone suspension on all wheels with around 2 cm travel Working fake V12 coupled directly to the drive motors Detailed interiror with tilting rear seats to access the BuWizz Detailed exterior with opning doors, bonnet and tailgate Built out of around 2850 pieces 47 x 21 x 18 cm Weighs around 3 kg As usual with my representations of the real vehicles, I first started with sourcing, editing and importing a 3D reference into LDD. Here's how the digital model looks compared to the LEGO version: And here's the LEGO version without the reference: I hid the doors, bonnet and the tailgate in order to show the detailed interior: The driveline is very compact and efficient. Two BuWizz drive motors are placed right behind the rear seats and power the 2 speed gearbox and an (oversized) V12 engine directly. As with the real vehcile, suspension system is independent at all 4 corners. Steering system is actuated by the steering rack directly and geared up. Gearbox is activated by a PU M motor via a linear clutch and a wave selector: So that was the theory... After a few small fixes and corrections, this is how the finished model looks like in real life (oops, I lost my license plate): Rear view showing the spare tyre, detailed lights, guardrails and exhausts: Doors, bonnet and the tailgate can open up to reveal the massive V12 engine and front shock absorbers: Interior features an adjustable and working steering wheel, 4 fully detailed seats, console and a transmission tunnel. Rear seats can be tilted individually to access the BuWizz 3.0 for charging; Here's a view of the back with the opened tailgate. Thanks to the central motor placement, there's a lot of free space: One of the design goals was to protect all the gears and drive axles from dirt and to keep the bottom as flat as possible. I think I did very well, it's smooter than the real vehicle in that regard: And finally here's a video where among other details you can see how well it performed at the competiton: If you want to have an even more detailed look, you can download the LDD file here: https://bricksafe.com/files/Zblj/lamborgini-lm002/Lamborghini LM002.lxf To summarize I'm really proud of this model. It looks, performs and just feels good and hits all the right spots. One thing's for sure, I'm keeping this one assembled, as I trully believe it's one of the best models I ever designed.

I didn't hear anything mentioned about the power source of the 1:1. I doubt they used an ICE, that would melt bricks though... -
[WIP] Pacific-Tatra T16-7
Zerobricks replied to AdamFMX's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I'm talking about 5.4 gearing from Zetros/42099 hubs. Real Tatras also use planetary hubs. 1:1 gear ratio will cause your driveline to fail at any larger load in multiple spots. -
[WIP] Pacific-Tatra T16-7
Zerobricks replied to AdamFMX's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
While it looks good digitally, you will have big issues: Differential planetary gears skipping Bevel gears skipping CV joints failing Large friction because the drive axle laso have to support the weight and all the loads generated by driveline Big suspension flex, due to low gearing which will cause one side of the arms to go up and other to go down - tilting the body a lot when driving I recommend using planetary gear hubs as start... P.S. press Ctrl+K to take a screenshot in LDD -
Motorized lowrider Manual functions: Working steering actuated by the steering wheel Fake Inline 4 engine driven by rear axle Foldable roof (making it a convertible) Openable hood, suicidal doors and bonnet Motorized functions: 4x Independent spring - assisted motorized suspension on all wheels powered by 2x PU and 2x PF L motors All motors are controlled by a single BuWizz 3.0 located in the boot. Other features: Proper, clean and spacious interior Detailed exterior featuring winglets, exhausts, wheel covers mirrors and more Specifications: Built out of 912 pieces Weighs around 850 grams 40 x 14,5 x 11 cm when totally raised

Check that the tires are still on rims correctly! They tend to slip a lot off in the 42160.

I had a support ticket like that, might be the same person, even. What I'd do is replace differentials with the red one and remember to lubricate the driveline!

It really depends a lot on your model, especially gearing ratiom size of wheels used and in what terrain you drive it. I have a feeling you're talking about a 42160 BuWizz MOD, am I right?

I can't say, have no black versions... But the material did change, old ones would break when overloaded, while the modern ones slip and deform.

It's a totally legal and smooth mesh, the number of gears are same as 16 and 20 for example 36. It has yet to slip so far, the fact it's being geared up helps a lot.
