    Woah, that's jaw-dropping! Well done indeed, could easily be an official B model.
  2. Zerobricks
    8043 comes to mind, bit I think that was more of a necessity.

    I would just kindly like to ask everyone, not to send me private messages regarding their BuWizz orders or issues and to use the official contact site instead. I will respond to them during the working days, but please understand that during the weekends I'm off work.

    How do you plan to steer the model?
  5. Zerobricks
    Talk about that part, is the crosshole properly aligned?
  6. Zerobricks
    Well done and for some reason it looks even more agressive and futuristic than the original model.
  7. Zerobricks
    Well done indeed. If I understand correctly the steering system is similar to the one the big brother uses, just smaller?
  8. Zerobricks
    I used the big CV joints for the drive as anything else would fail instantly with such a heavy model and so much power.
  9. Zerobricks
    I suggest you use the stronger CV joints which came out with 42099. I have yet to break any.

    Yes, Lego hubs allow power, speed and angle regulation. We are planning to add speed regulation in the BuWizz app too, would be useful for models where constant speed is required. Yes, the motor can regulate speed only up to it's maximum power, anything more and well... It can't do more than full power.
  11. Zerobricks
    They can do basically anything you program them to do. That is why there are so many paramerters available in BuWizz app for center steering for example. Another example if you set constant SPEED mode, the controller will adjust PWM to hold that speed regardless of the load.
  12. Zerobricks
    The SPEED or SERVO modes are controlled by the hub, not by the motor. Motor only reports the position back. And for all modes you need to use PWM.

    XL motor also has a flat motor with a larger rotor which contributes to the higher intertia.
  14. Zerobricks
    That's a good mod and I'm surprised TLG didn't use the same setup for this and the Stig. But on the other hand we wouldn't get the new diffs if they did...
  15. Zerobricks
    I think that's one of the rare times the cam piece has been used in it's intended way, hehe.
  16. Zerobricks
    Automatic transmsission is totally doable with a motorized model, since PU can measure both current and RPM to determine the motor load and shift gears accordingly.
  17. Zerobricks
    Check the differentials orientations

    BuWizz 2.0 uses 2 lithium cells in parallel with a DC/DC converter, the output voltage voltages is kept stable depending on the speed mode: SLOW: 5.2 V NORMAL: 7.2 V FAST: 9.2 V LUDICROUS: 11.2 V Buwizz 3.0 uses a 3S battery pack (3 batteris in a series) so the voltage is between 12,5 V when full and around 11 V when empty. It's also the reason why speed modes don't work on BuWizz 3.0. One more note. Most Lego motors are internally actually a 12 V design, which are used at 9 V.
  19. Zerobricks
    Interesting indeed. Can you do the same for the 1:8 supercars?
  20. Zerobricks
    It looks good, but mechanically it could be better. the current setup puts a VERY high stress on the central differential, U joints and axle differentials and will caus eyour truck to tilt sideways a lot under load. I would replace the normal hubs with the planetary ones and use 24 tooth gears to drive the central differential. This will reduce the load on the driveline at least 3x times.
  21. Zerobricks
    Very well done. Nice use of the wheel hub piece for the swashplate too. And the custom stickers help a lot too.
  22. Zerobricks
    I don't know about exact material used or the exact source anymore to be honest but yes, they are changing materials, hence all the recent mould changes.
  23. Zerobricks
    As mentioned before TLG is changing the material of the parts, probably switching to non-oil produced materials. The new material is softer, hence they are redesigning the parts and reinforcing them like the ball joints, closing up the before available pins for bars, etc... I think that's also the reason for the pins generally feelings much softer, less clicky and just more squishy.
  24. Zerobricks
    Jus don't stick the 2L axles in it from either side...
  25. Zerobricks
    Just manual. I'd suggest you female CV joint if you need more torque.
