    42160 is the best one for that.
  2. Zerobricks
    Thank you for the praise! Regarding the gearing question, when using 81.6 mm wheels with fast output, I was able to reach some 30 km/h. So I think 25 km/h or close should be doable with 68.8 mm wheels. And I think 42125 is a good candidate, though perhaps use the newer hubsamd cv joints to hold and drive the wheels.

    Looks good, but how will it steer?
  4. Zerobricks
    Thank you for the praise, my friend, I could increase steering angle to 30° but usually such high steering angle is not needed, since the cars are small and tracks have plenty of space. Indeed the model looks long, but it's actually not much longer than the Bolide for example. The soft front tyres should help with understeer. Regarding tracked vehicle, the shock absorbers of the suspension arms are under slight pretension, which I hope will be enough.

    Thank you for the kind wishes! As long as the bevel gears are inside the part 48469, they can handle quite a lot of torque before skipping. I'm using same parts in my Universal offroader V2 and they have yet to skip. Of course, having 5,4 downgearing in planetary hubs reduces the strain on those gears a lot.

    Think it's a good compromise indeed.

    I was invited to the Romanian RTXP challenge which will be held next weekend, so it felt only right to make a video about the models I'm taking with me: Can't wait for some friendly competitions and to spend some quality time with friends!

    Another great source of detail car knowledge is Car Bible: https://car-bibles.com/ I remember reading all the articles years ago.

    What about the smaller version?
  10. Zerobricks
    Woah, the legend is back! I'm happy to see you return with such an awesome model. How was the experience of returning to the Technic after so many years? Especially considering that so many useful parts have been released in the last 5 years.
  11. Zerobricks
    How about using a quarter circle gear part (banana gear)?
  12. Zerobricks
    Indeed, as long as they are coupled with an identical gear ratio, they will multiply torque, not speed.
  13. Zerobricks
    I would have used a 5x7 frame in the leftover space to reinforce the suspension AND support the fake engine. Or a couple of flip flop L beams.
  14. Zerobricks
    I still recommend extending the steering arms, so that slack in the links has a lower effect on the tow out.
  15. Zerobricks
    Yes, basically wherever you place your cursor, that is what LDD will try to connect. Also for large assemblies, hiding the things you don't want to connect before joining helps a lot.

    Use Bricksafe or Brickshelf to upload your photos and link them here.

    Exactly, the rack assembly is just not stiff enough. What you could try is extending the steering arms by a stud or two and therefore creating a stronger, simpler steering rack.
  18. Zerobricks
    I think the issue lies in the steering rack design which is a bit like a letter C. Because the steering rack uses beams and connectors to attact to the steering arms, it's very prone to being bent/stretched out. Once that happens you get a lot of toe out and friction.

    And here's a silly PC upgrade, something to make it more lively:

    Use the 46490 hubs, they will provide the necessary gearing. Also, the differentials have a bit of down gearing too, 1,4 to be exact, so total with the hubs should be around 7,5. That's plenty when powered by 2 BuWizz motors.
  21. Zerobricks
    And they all use some kind of a mechanism that would be otherwise impossible to manufacture in one go.
  22. Zerobricks
    Great progress of a really awesome set, Grum. Regarding 15100, there are actually 2 versions, newer ones released after 2022ish are a lot softer and have a different pin shape. I remember originals from 42096 and those were really tight.
  23. Zerobricks
    I recomend you check sets like 42114 and 42131 to see how the gearboxes are made. And yes, you can program PU L/XL motors to move 90°.
  24. Zerobricks
    Jeeps have live axle suspension, so implementing drive, steering and suspension would be actually easier.
  25. Zerobricks
    PU M motor (white one) has no position sensor, so it can't know it's position.
