    Awww, cute. Is there any way you can tilt the front grill a bit?

    I think the issue is there are 2 basic camps of users. 1st camp is people, who just wanna build a simple MOC like a car, plug and play with minimum or no programming/setup required, they couldn't care less about how the motors/stystem works and they want physical control. 2nd camp are people who want very a very flexible, complicated, fully programmable system with inverse kinematics, advanced functionality, compatiblity, who are very interested in the workings behind the system and the individual components and want to see all kinds of statistics, data, information shown, etc... The issue is, I don't think there's an easy way for a singular system to satisfy the needs of both camps... So IMO there's no simple way to fix PU, since what needs fixing depends on each individual's needs.

    Lego already did, few years ago? Not to mention an even stronger version last year?

    Also inverse kinematics as in case of both Liebeherrs which you can't do without position tracking and interpolation.

    BuWizz has an acceloremeter, which not a gyro, there's a big difference. As you mentioned currently it's used to display statistics and for shake-to wake option in BuWizz 3.0. Unfortunately since this is an accelerometer and not a gyro it's not the best suited for self-correction in the models. Thank you for kind wishes Same issue here, BuWizz has an accelerometer, not a gyro, so it has limited use for such self-balancing models. I had an idea to implement a self-balancing PID-based loop running on FW, simillar to self-centering loop, but currently we are focusing on implementing proper controller support.

    Never had any issues, the wheels can simply slip if there's too much resistance. Besides there is 5,4x gearing after diff and the model is light. I also took it apart and cleaned the parts after the BuWizz gathering. The closed body really helped with protecting the gears from dust and dirt and there wasn't as much of wear and tear as I expected. I plan to upgrade it soon to have more functionality and performance, just need the new gearbox parts and the 24 tooth clucth gears.

    Because of moulding limitations. You'd have to slide a rod across entire length tof the part o make the holes, which would be very unstable and tricky.
  8. Zerobricks
    Not if you combine a 12 tooth gear with an extension ring.

    I think that for the upcoming supercar, TLG needs to introuduce one more clutch gear, probably 12 tooth one in order to have 4 different sizes and gear ratios. This way you can easily have two simple gearboxes at different gearing ratios linked together and actuated by the 4 new drums and selector pieces. And when I say simple gearboxes, I mean really simple, each gearbox would use only 2 axles with 8 gears, with only a pair engaged at any time. This would reduce the complexity and friction of the current systled geraboxes by a huge margain and even free up space to be used in smaller scale.

    The small angular motor has an internal clutch, protecting it from overloading. That is causing the skipping sounds. I recommend using a very low current limit level of some 100mA with that motor too.
  11. Zerobricks
    Think they would help, yes. But you will need to try different hardness and travel setups.
  12. Zerobricks
    Make sure you don't have a bad contact, or try a different port.
  13. Zerobricks
    8 pisitions is useful if you have a 45 degrees offset as with knob gears. You just have to make sure shifter shifts by 90 degrees and not less.
  14. Zerobricks
    Like I said, second and fourth linked and third static. First one being the steered, front one.
  15. Zerobricks
    I see. The simplest solution would be to have the third axle static and the second and fourth linked.
  16. Zerobricks
    Everyone! There is also new, shorter gearbox change element, only 2 studs long like the old version! And it has 8 instead of 4 engagement teeth.
  17. Zerobricks
    I'm sorry, but that doesn't look like my project?
  18. Zerobricks
    About time! And I bet some of these parts will be used in the upcoming supercar too.
  19. Zerobricks
    Which shock absorbers are you referring to? Also, you posted a private Google Drive link.
  20. Zerobricks
    Exactly, those connectors held by half a stud will instantly fall out due to the rounded edges. BUT you can use 41678 instead of half bushes and it should stay together.

    Don't forget the reddish brown one from City Markets. And agreed, i think yellow would fit better, but maybe they wanted to emphasize the pointy bits? Also maybe Liebherr wanted such colors and red frame colors, as references where to take it apart or such?
  22. Zerobricks
    That sounds good, but of course you only have 2 bevel gears in the Lambo, while Camaro has like 12:20:12 straight gearing and another 12:12 bevel gearing, so it makes sense it's less responsive. Anyway, i just find a proper steering rack a much cleaner and realistic solution than using a handle
  23. Zerobricks
    Just from the way it's constructed. From my experience a standard geared rack has much less slack than a lever with 2 beams from my experiences. I used a similar type of steering for a model and even though I used pin joiners which are thicker than 1x1 beans, it still couldn't get it to drive properly straight. Changing to a normal gear rack was much more accurate. So just speaking from my experience, but of course maybe I'm too strict, since this is a manual model.
  24. Zerobricks
    Really well done. It could easily pass as an official alternative. I think we only had an official B licensed model with the 42030?
  25. Zerobricks
    Maybe the PU XL motor is also getting a CE symbol, hence new ID and old one retiring. Anyway back to the set, I think the counterweights increase the price a lot, especially if you take in account that price per gram is more reflective of true value.
