Different factories?

I think the steering wheel is way too back, unless the driver will sit in the bed?

168,75 would make sense, 180 - half of 22,5.

Sooo... What's the angle?

Big IF the electronics can take a higher voltage...

You're off to a good start indeed! Welcome and keep up the good work.

I assume because they have less slack than normal ones, probably had issues with tyres hitting the wheel covers. Also they are more expensive to produce since they are from some 7 or so parts, hence they are used only where realy needed,

I can't see the video in my country... Anyone kind enough to share it? Thanks!

I seriously doubt you will see an official boat with this unsealed hub. Water can get inside via battery port, USB C port, wheel bearings or any of the other 15+ building holes. The outputs are rotating counter-wise due to the simple nature of the design where the drive motors are placed longitudinally inside the hub. I do wonder what the gear ration between the different outputs is though... I think the rear outputs are very useful for custom builds, as they allow for easier integration and I hope to see them used in the future in an official build. Might be a bit off topic, but I have a feeling the upcoming 1:12 Toyota Supra might be motorized using the same hub.

IMO it's the best 1:16 scale models so far! Gonna get the gray one for sure.

Nice combo model! Only thing I'm not a fan of is the torsion bar suspension, pretty sure you can set up shock absorbers in such way to avoid that.

I seriosuly doubt that, those diffs are very strong and the load is spread over multiple gears.

As others have said amazig job! Any way to use fenders and lips from the raptor instead of brick-built ones?

Maybe they are bent?

I recommend you check Nicjasno's one - way clutches:

Added to my LEGO slang database Trust me, you're gonna break the CV joints (at least in the front) way before you can make two 28 tooth bevel gears slip.

What's a comma panel? Also you can use the red diff gear with 28 bevel gears to drive diffs centrally and avoid 8 tooth gears.

Maybe splitting the topic to the actual 1:8 Supercar and to the GWP might be a good idea?

Check the MOD topic. Hint, 5 studded double headed CV joints from the Ford GT.

The model has been succesfully finished and recorded. Here are specifications of the physical model: Built out of 912 pieces Weighs around 850 grams 40 x 14,5 x 11 cm when totally raised Powered by 2x PU L and 2x PF L motors Controlled by a single BuWizz 3.0 in the boot So here she is in all of its physical glory: With everything opened up: Being a proper convertible, the roof can be raised: Rear view showing the suspension in action, the rear bumper and the exhausts: And same view, but with the suspension flipped - front lowered and the rear raised: And here's a video showcasing all the features and functions: I'm really happy with how it turned out, I tried hard to keep the design in a sweet spot between aesthetics, features, functionality and robustness and it shows. As usual, there is an LDD file of the model available for study here: https://bricksafe.com/files/Zblj/tc27-lowrider/Lowrider PF%2BPU.lxf And to finish off I would just like to thank to @Jim for organizing these competitions, having some fixed rules really inspires me to be creative, to think out of box and design stuff I usually wouldn't. EDIT: Jim, is there a way you can unlock the entry topic?

Or mine in the tow truck

You must be missing something... Spinning the handle in your model will do nothing, it will just spin the opposite side of the differential with a 4L axle with stop, which is totally loose.

It depends a lot on what's the high difference of the links. The closer they are, the less sideways movement of the links, but then the axle has less rigid mounting... It's a compromise.

Agreed and there is plenty of slack in LEGO pieces for slight sideways motion. Also notice that the 5L suspension arm is attached to the 5L beam with 3 pins for extra strength.

They will not fit in the current axle width...
