I think that the subtractor will just make the truck bigger, more complex and in the end it may be less powerfull because of all the gears. I would stick with 2 M motors...

Another one... It seems the bushes and elements that have simillar shape dont allow 24 tooth gears to fit by them, even though they do IRL. After bit of rotating of gears, the end result is, that some DO fit, and some dont.

Thats really cool! I see, it remembers the souce of light when looking arround Good job!

Thank you for comments guys @dluders I dont think i will make instructions in LDD, as of lot of bricks used in car arent there (yet). For the pillar and roof color, I decided to use black, because I was running low on red, and because black looks like a removable type of roof. Four wheel steering was used, so the car can actually drive a circle in my room

This is my first ever supercar! I kind of mixed the 8880, 8448, 8466 and 8297 features together. The car uses all wheel drive and steering, wherebye the rear wheels steer at a lower angle than front. The gearbox is a 5+R, which uniquely uses both gears of the differential to power it. All gears with exception of reverse are powered by the central diff, the reverse is by front wheel drive only. Gearbox has the following gear ratios: 1 gear 2,5 2 gear 1,67 3 gear 1,5 4 gear 1,0 5 gear 0,9 R gear 1,4 Picture of gearbox at start of the build: I tryed to make car as functional as possible, so there are 3 buttons in the dashboard. The first one when tilted pops up the lights in front and turns them on. The second button pops up the hood and the third one opens and closes the motorized roof. Also the doors have working handles, that automatically lock when doors close, to keep them from opening. The suspension uses horizontal mounted springs to save on space. Front has almost 50 grill pieces to cool the massive V12 engine. The rear has mustang-like lights and 2 massive exhaustst. You can see the roof mechanics here: All the mechanical guts are visible here. Can you count all the gears ?

It may not be as stylish as Crowkiler's monsters, but I think it's quite neat.

Sorry, but someone here posted an unsafe link to a picture on public.bay.livefilestore acording to avast. Back to topic.

Small but furious! The bigger rear wheels sure add a lot to its attitude. Did you think of replacing knob gear for something smoother, like normal gears? Another tip, you might wanna put another beam between motor and gears, so you dont dmage the Xl motor's hole.

Superkalle dont scare me I got a reply Basically it says I might be selected for further evaluation.

Your computer specifictions? Also did you install LDD for all users, as admin?

Really looks like original, but seems to work better with PF motors and air tanks. Too bad the rear doesnt have double wheels.

Well i used a duracell 9V block. I used the same battery box in the twister and it still runs good. So I think it should suffice for some 4-8 hours of fun. Remember to use PF extension cable and 2 pieces of ALU foil to make it work on this battery box.

This is a very small 8x8 trial truck. In order to make it this small I ditched normal steering and used skid steering instead. It has independent suspension ona all wheels. I used rubber 1x2 beams for springa ction, which works great, but the mass must be low. Drivelink uses 1:6 gearing from 2M motors: Rear can be loaded with anything up to 200 grams Suspension travel: Download LDD instructions HERE Video:

Good job! May I ask what is the function of the white rubber bands?

Wow, thats really cool! Should be helpfull for those first to gears! Renders are great and colorfull, so they just beg for attention.

If thats not original, than i dont know what is :)

Here are two more made using pulley wheels: and:

Another bug I found. You cannot slide a pin on the other half of the 3x3 pulley wheel. Oddly enough, you can do it with this part:

Seems like TLG copyed a vast amount of the model. At least dmac will get some recognition

I have been playing with the lego springs, taking the older cracked ones apart. Its easy to take them apart either by using something to squeeze the iner click thingyes or by tilting the head left and right untill it pops out. These springs can now fit on axle on custom springs: The spring made using 5,5 axle allows for over 2 studs of movement, but its not good for hanging weight on it. You can combine soft and hard springs for a more sophisticated spring: You guys think they are usefull?

I just noticed! they look longer than 15 yes, maybe something arround 21? EDIT nope, they are 15...

Congratulations. Though i wonder out of 10000 members, how many are just spambots or such. Still this is the best Lego forum!

I voted for ferry wheel :) I'm so happy i made it too

Gear animations FTW! But what i really wish for is more parts.

Problem with 4 wheel steering is to make sure, the rear wheels dont force steer themselfes. Also this would add more wight on rear, which is not good. Thanks for the critic!

That looks nice and tough! May i ask why so high gearing?
