Not if you use a 28 tooth gear to drive the diff -

Oh, my bad. Then we can expect the parts from the Kawasaki. -

A good thing about V6 is that it could be built from normal parts and still fit, hopefully. -

The original G500 uses normal hubs, only the squared version uses portal hubs. So if we're lucky we might see Audi's hubs in front. -

Nice to see you still building these small cars. It sure looks like a fun, little and well shaped model. -

I hope that the rear axle is not supported directly, but by via a control arm, so this way you get more suspension movement. -

I expect it to have more or less similar functionality as the Defender, hopefully with the new gearbox and engine parts to run smoother. Since it's a 4 seater, it will probably be the biggest and heaviest 1:10 model so far, so I expect the 9L hard shock absorbers in all 4 corners. -
Well done (again), Lipko! Love the video showcasing the suspension, those new shock absorbers seem perfect for such models.

I think it should be easily doable, you can skip the 16 tooth gears in such case.- 20 replies

Nice mock-up! Seems about right, unless the steering links are shorter. Too bad these suspension arms will not be suitable for high loads, since there are no other connection points.- 5,504 replies

I think it's around 3x5 stud size with crossholes. It's great to have another suspension arm to work with!- 5,504 replies

You can go a step further and have each wheel powered by an independent motor too! But uneven terrain might end up messing up the calculations since the wheels have to drive a longer distance than when driving on a flat surface.

Already discussed here: And you can check the review here: https://brickset.com/article/105523/review-60431-space-explorer-rover-and-alien-life And the shock absorber is soft, the hard ones has a different spring shape with uneven windings in the middle or at start/end for new version.- 5,504 replies

Please understand I am NOT the app developer, or the CEO, or some kind of a miracle worker like Scotty, so I can't give you an exact answer. What I can tell you is that it takes a lot of time to test the app, since there are 3 controllers to support and a lot of different types of phones for Android (Samsung being the most troublesome from my experience) and of course also iOS devices. We only have ONE person who develops the app and ONE person actually testing it on real-life models (yours trully). As so I spent last few weeks mostly testing all the different devices, setups, models and I can definetly say that the update is now mature enough and will be published in the coming days/week (singular).

Photos restored! Who knows, maybe I will update the topic one day, since a lot of things have indeed changed and improved since 2019. Currently it's easier than ever to make off-road models.
