    Thanks to everyone for another awesome update. Keep up the good job
  2. Zerobricks
    Thank you for the detailed answer, seems like a good compromise indeed.

    I know I managed to do that in LDD by searching and replacing an ID. Might be worth a try opening the studio file with a notepad or such and try?
  4. Zerobricks
    What a great combo model. If I see correctly the steering mechanism uses a simple linkage? Do you have more details about that?
  5. Zerobricks
    Where would you fit the batterry box and the motor inside this set?
  6. Zerobricks
    Agreed, doesn't seem like a reliable solution and it would probably cause friction and wear due to the constant bending of the tubes.

    Exactly, if you want realistic suspension and tight fitting fenders, expect to see a lot of rubbing. And the smaller the scale the more this is pronounced. For my 1:8 Spano I used less than a stud of suspension travel and it still semed higher above the ground than the original one. Ideally having wheels go in and under the fenders would allow you keep the looks and the suspension travel, but than the wheels would look like they are too deep inside the model. But I think slightly bigger wheels and tyres with deeper offset would also help like they did with the 1:8 Ferrari.

    I think the spoiler is activated by a handle with a red towball pin near the center console. I also think a 16L link is used for that purpose in a simillar fashion as 42115.

    I hope the new joint turns out to be an inverted u joint which is made out of 2L axles. Also I think a 1:12 scale type cars are here to stay, I predict upcoming models will get new wheels with deeper mounting points Well done, Milan!
  10. Zerobricks
    Thanks for the praise. The front axle is half a stud offset, lower than the rear to give the model a rake.

    That's how I motorized the Mustang, but using 48496 part. Glad it works for you!

    There was already a conversation in regards to new gears, they are deisgned to run smoother than the old version.

    So here are some proper photos of the little beast: Some additional technical information: Number of parts: 724 Weight: 650 g Size: 28 x 12 x 8 cm Top speed: 17,5 km/h And finally a video where I showcase and explain in detail about the model: As mentioned in the video, i think this MOD/MOC came out really great and I can't wait to further develop and improve the whole 1:16 scale AWD concept.

    How about ditching the diff altogether?
  15. Zerobricks
    Well done. Are you using a 12 tooth gear to power the differential? I think you could use a 20 one with old diff to make it even faster, there should be plenty of torque available.
  16. Zerobricks
    Wow, what a steal!
  17. Zerobricks
    That's a really good idea. I think there is potential to improve it further, maybe using a centrigual clutches on both sides of the differential outputs which would engage with the casing directly?
  18. Zerobricks
    How's the clutch strenght?
  19. Zerobricks
    Unfortuantely haven't yet managed to record a video of the model due to the bad weather conditions preventing me to test the top speed outside. BUT I did took some indoor photos of the phsysical model, hope you like them:

    How about Defender's wheels?

    Lego Digital Designer, with custom additional bricks, see this topic for more details:

    What a masterpiece! Really like double driveline with differentials, it's a great solution to bring more power to the wheels and also to cancel out any torque acting on the axles. Also nice use of 9L links to keep the rear oscilating bogies from bending. I would just like to ask why did you use the rubber bricks in the rear, are they needed?
  23. Zerobricks
    Thanks. I think it would also be really useful for @Fosapifi's Tesla truck too. Exactly, I had to get 8 stud total long axle length between the CV joints so they don't slip out of the differentials.
  24. Zerobricks
    One more idea. You can also use a Mini Linear Actuator to steer and have it geared up some 3x for faster response.
  25. Zerobricks
    Is the #5 conenctor suppose to be used on the fender on the first photo? Seems like a #4 would fit better with the curve.
