    Those times are sadly gone... Even if the TLG would release a more powerful motor none of the hubs could drive it, because their current limitations which is around 800mA max.

    I tested mine from the lambo and it seem smoother than the old type.

    I would use a dog bone connector instead of the magenta 5L beam, so you can additionaly brace the 20 tooth gear. I used a very simillar setup in my motorization mod of the Zeux.

    Might be a bump, but I was just watching Behind the scenes of how TLG motorized the 1:1 scale Chiron: The way the mated the gears are 24 to 20, on a 3x3 L layout is not a really a very "legal" gearing, since the gears are in a looser mesh than the usual (you can see the updated 20 tooth gear around 3:30 in video). Also in the original set, there is an exact situation with the gear shifter, but in that case there is a beam right next to it. I think at that time the 24 tooth gears have been updated so they don't rub agaisnt it. So now we have a situation where we have a slightly smaller 24 tooth gear and we are trying to mate it to a 20 tooth gear for both the set and the 1:1 project. Do you see where this is going? I'm thinking these two projects might have contributed to the decision to modify the 20 tooth gears but in the process they broke the main meshing fit. What do you think about my theory?

    Exactly

    I think your motors are overheating, simple ast that. if youa re not sure, just attach a PF LED on the same port as the motor and you will see.

    I recorded a quick video of the gearbox in action. You can download the LDD files and photos here: https://bricksafe.com/pages/Zblj/automatic-gearbox

    And you can use motors as position sensors too.

    Indeed, the old times...

    It will be ready when it's ready, we rather have something finished properly and reliable than rush an unfinished product.

    You can control PU motors as simple motors. But to control them as servos you need to get position feedback from them which neither the converter cable or BuWizz 1.0 or 2.0 support.

    You can stack motors, but there are limits of course. I suggest you stack no more than 2x XL, 3x L and 4x M motor on same port.

    There is an LDD of the whole chassis available here: https://bricksafe.com/pages/Zblj/42110-motorized

    Thanks for the update, Stephan. I would like to note 5292 still has collision issues at the back end preventing bricks to be added.
  15. Zerobricks
    Unfortunately not.

    Now that looks way better than the Porsche. I like the way the control unit fits nicely on the roof.

    So I have managed to import a 1:8 and a 1;10 scale model of Ford Raptor into LDD and 1:10's wheels are a perfect fit with the Unimog tyres and 42110's wheels! 1:8 on the other hand... Even the biggest, Claas tyres are too small

    First of all a big thanks to @Stephan for all the assistance and @polymaker for Brick Studio software, I couldn't have made the following video tutorial with you. Few weeks ago as I noticed LDD was being updated by the community, I got a crazy idea... Is there a way to import an object into LDD so you can use it as a reference? Having this kind of an option would make designing scale models much easier and faster. I asked @Stephan for his input and he managed to provide the first ever working example of this idea. Since then I learned how to import any 3D model into LDD and have therefore created this tutorial. In the following video tutorial I go through the process of importing any 3D object to LDD. I think the implications of this possibility are simply HUGE across all Lego themes and it's my hope this tutorial will help and inspire you all.

    You are trying to insert a black 12 tooth gear instead of a smaller dark bluish gray 8 tooth one. Use the smaller, correct one and everything will go together smoothly :)
  20. Zerobricks
    Good idea. I would just add a few beams across it on the top and bottom to keep it from sliding apart.

    If you want to rotate all but the baseplate, press Ctr+A and while holding ctrl click baseplate to unselect it. Than just use arrow keys to rotate.

    It's good to have (almost) all frames in one color now. We only need the open H frame and maybe tha ball joint frame in black to have the complete set.
  23. Zerobricks
    LDD is being updated by the community, literally on this very forum...
  24. Zerobricks
    Carefully read the last line of the article.

    AFAIK all Jeeps have solid axles in front and rear
