Zerobricks

So after a year of driving the model on the snow, in the dust, grass, rocks, at the BuWizz camp and finally at the Bricking Bavaria, this happened while powersliding in high gear: After a close inspection another hub showed signs of imminent failure: So what seems to happen is that the edge holding the hub inside the casing wears down over time enough for it to simply pop out. Now you have to keep in mind that these hubs are from 2019 and have been used in much higher speeds, loads than they were designed for, not to mention dirty environments. What do you think? Should I get some new hubs and keep the model assembled or retire it? What's certain is that I will be focusing on lighter models in the future which will stress the individual components less.

I'm sorry, I have yet to get a reply, wish there was more I could do...

Wow, that was really quick! I imagine the small triangle panels just required a bit of trimming, and the angular panel could be stitched by 2 normal ones. But the fender looks a bit more tricky. Any way to get these parts into LDD pack before the end of the year?

I could have printed some custom wheels for you too. Well done regardless!

It's a full W16, you can see another row of cylinders behind. Seems like most of the new panels are simillar to the new ones in the new Ferrari's, just in smaller scale, 1x3 instead of 1x5 size. Also I think the angled panel has the same angle as #2 connector, 22,5 degrees. All in all a great little set, though having AWD like the real one would make it even better!

I tested it again, the parts fit loose, but quite deep together, so there should be no risk of skipping. The only thing you have to watch out for is not breaking the 18587 or letting it slip out. I will be at Bricking Bavaria and I can bring a 18587 part with me.

I suggest you use 16 tooth gears insetad of 24 and 8, it will run much smoother that way.

Wow, looks really good. Can't wait to see how it performs!

Impressive indeed. What's the wheel diameter and the current weight?

Yes. For example orange 3x11 panel was used in the Raptor, but also reused the AT-AT walker. It's all about logistics and manufacturing optimization.

Yes, a single BuWizz 2.0 can only run a single BuWizz motor in fast/ludicrous mode.

Some 64 stud long axles could be useful for foosball

Thank you for the nice words, it really made my day I think you did an awesome job with the model and I see you put a lot of effort to explain about it's functionality in the YouTube video. Regarding the forum content, I suggest you add a few photos of the model and a bit of description, since people here appreciate to see more details before checking the videos.

I'd say enough to spin all the wheels under it's weight on a normal ground or to climb at least 45 degrees up a hill.. Anything more is a waste and anything less might be too litte.

Sorry, don't know, but you can write a ticket and I will forward it.

BuWizz 1.0 and 2.0 do indeed have different antennas, but I don't know the specifics. The one one the photo is 1.0.

BuWizz 2.0 has a small wire for antenna and 3.0 has antenna from metal.

From my experience the PU XL motors are hughly prone to dying. It seems the electric motors no longer use carbon brushes and are therefore more sensitive to overload.

Yes, ecactly.

I suggest you add something to stop the 3L axles with stop from sliding out of the portal hubs.

That's massive indeed. Hope to see more photos, especially the hub assembly. I'd assume you are using large turntables to hold the wheels?

Yes, but not fully through.

You can connect motors driving left side to one channel, motors driving the right side to second channel, steering to third and you have a channel free.

Agreed, a proper V6 or inline 4 would look more realistic and would probably work smoother. Otherwise it's a very good and unique set and a very pleasent building experience.

The PF battery boxes do not provide the power BuWizz motors require for maximum performance, same issue as with using RC buggy motors with PF. The PF battery boxes have some 800 mA current limit, while BuWizz has 4.0 amp limit for 2.0 and 7.0 amp limit for 3.0. And with BuWizz you don't need the PF receiver.
