So here is the real model topic For LDD model I had quite some problems. The wheel geometry was quite hard to build (poor hing tool), the rims wouldnt fit in the tyres (they fit in real life, but they arent made for each other) and because normal pins wouldnt fit in pulley wheels I had to use cross pins. After I finished one wheel, I had to redo the whole process, but mirrored! Also there are 3/4 pins where 3L ones should be, where the beam is placed halfway through them (illegal method by LDD, yet used in Lego models). I also found a big, where the connector (colored red) wouldnt fit on top of the yellow brick, which it should (same applys for bushes). Somewhere along the build the chassis shifted slightly, but its not too disturbing. The end result has almost all the parts with excpetion of panels in the rear and wheel rims. Total LDD build time was arround 3 hours, a good portion spent on wheels. Download model: Vector racer Hope you guys like the model!

What about putting the steering axle under the gearbox and routing it to steering system via 3 16 tooth gears (one of them being a clutch one where engine shaft is). It should work!

Both vids work for me fine. Try a proxy?

Thanks for all the praise! I am thinking of making a bigger wheel with 12 wheels, so the next model will be less jumpy.

These are really awesome! Now all we need are real life models. I hope all color match in real life!

Yeah friction pin should allow all the way through, but it doesnt. Dunno why same doesnt reply for frictionless 2L pin?

I think bar should go through. Talk bout bars, they should also fit all the way through normal pins, not just half way.

The complexity is just mind-boggling! Which you think is gonna be harder mechanics, or programming?

No Lego direct here, too small country (Slovenia). Wish they had it though, would be great for rare parts!

So many great models and styles! Too many OOB's in my opinion.

Thats really awesome! Only thing bothering me are cut plates.

This part doesnt rotate smoothly pinside in axle hole:

I managed to build special wheels, which use smaller rubber wheel angled at arround 45 degrees tread-wise. These wheels allow the model to drive in all directions! For powering all wheels I used 4M motors, eone motor for wheel. Model can drive forward backwards, left , right, skid left, skid right, skid left and right, skid front end or skid rear end. I also made LDD model: Vector racer Each wheel is made out of 6 city wheels attached to small wheel rims (they fit): And video:

Arent those rare? Good luck!

So far so good! Is that normal yellow color?

Like I wrote before this table is just a template for a wooden one, I am not gonna use a lego table for a table...

That gearbox is a gear-box, but it doesnt change engine gears, but switches functions from PF M motor.

That radiator is never turned on, dont worry

Yeah in this case you can only remove cylinder rotate dump bed and reattach cylinder again. Hinge align tool might be heplfull here.

Nice to see studded bricks in front. Also the rear axle looks wider than front. Jay for suspension!

You can use trick by building structure arround can in which the lid attaches.

Yeah trans-orange parts are for holes, the ekyboard will slide out, rear overhang goes over radiator and servers as a shelf for flowers, and the whole table is primary for computer and documents.

I think routing steering axle through gearbox is very hard...

You can see the black 12 tooth gear power the 20 tooth bewel gear directly. Also if they would want friction rods, why make new ones? Why not use old ones?

Are those triangular smooth tiles lego?
