    That makes no sense, when you rely on this part to take a bar, like for example 42115's caliper assembly. They REVERTED back to the old design?
  2. Zerobricks
    Maybe TLG figured out they were causing too much strain on the costumers I also tested a black one from Lambo and indeed it seems less snappy and easier to insert, rotate and remove.

    Oh shoot, you are right I was so used to seeing Mech ask for help, my brain kind of correlated his reply as his own topic... Sorry for my brainfart. Having said that, is still stand by my words for any builder. Keep trying and don't give up so quickly. And as cool as it sounds to make something amazingly complex and special, the fact is KISS is the best. Keep It Simple, Stupid.

    Mechbuilds, I have been following your HELP topics for a while now, and I think I'm seeing a pattern: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/profile/172699-mechbuilds/&do=content&type=forums_topic&change_section=1 From what i see, you start A LOT of topics needing help and not finishing the actual things. I might sound a bit harsh, but how about you actually try to listening to all the advice we give you, finish a project and than go onto a next one? And try learning on your own mistakes, have some patience and don't instantly make another HELP topic at the sight of the first small obstacle. Now about the tractor, a simple suspended live axle like the one from 9398 or 8110 should be bouncy enough for a child IMO. Or you can go with the 42099's combo of both.

    Hi If you want a good, strong portal suspension with a good pivot point, I suggest you look at the one I used in the Tiger 6x6 which uses the rims from 42110.
  6. Zerobricks
    I used something similar here:

    Sorry, I thought you were refering to the 7x11 which is in the chest of the bot. You are correct!
  8. Zerobricks
    They are same as in Defender and Sian.
  9. Zerobricks
    Wait, are we talking about a physical or digital model?
  10. Zerobricks
    I double checked and works fine here. Motor and plug are seperate pices.
  11. Zerobricks
    Just grab the plug and move it away?
  12. Zerobricks
    Thank you And wow, that spring really is tiny! I suppose if you push the assembly together strong enough, the back pops out?
  13. Zerobricks
    Please post a deeplink to the photo so we can see it.

    Exactly, makes no sense why they use normal gear here, it just adds unnecessary friction. And if they were worried about axle slipping out, they could use a 5x5L axle.
  15. Zerobricks
    That's a good idea. Having said that we are currently focusing on expanding the basic functionality of the app. After we implement all the functions we will go back and concentrate on details as such and visuals.

    We don't have exact measurements yet, but we will make a comparison video. Price should be around 39€ and first 50 or so samples hould be available soon. No plans for other motors for now.

    I kind of forgot I had this thread and it took me some time to find it, but here we go Anyways I'm thinking of building a 1:8 Ford Raptor with 42110's wheels and Claas's wheels, something in the scale, complexity and quality of TLG official supercar. This will be a longer, more inticrate project with a lot of rebuilds and versions, because I want to improve my designing skills, especially the extterior paneling ones. What I would like to have is: Relastic suspension - independent in front, live axle in the rear 8 Speed paddle shift gearbox + D/N/R shifter + Hi/Lo shifter Detailed V6 enigne and bay Removable body - on - frame construction Detailed interrior with 5 seats If possible a working winch and lights powered by PF I expect such a model to have somewhere around 5k + parts. What do you think of this idea?

    I remember seeing this movie for the first time as a kid and instantly falling in love with that pickup truck. It's nice to see it in technic!
  19. Zerobricks
    The motor is faster than original, I did the comparison. What is also true is that i changed the gearing from 20:28 in original to 12:36 to give the car more torque. I tried to keep the original model's functionality as close as possible, so the motor has to drive the wheels throught a set of 6 gears. Of course I could have just slapped 2 motors, directly to the wheels, but than the modification would be much harder for people to perform and we would lose the wheelie bar, working engine, etc...

    We have been working on a new product which we integrated into 42111, the new motor. The new motor is based on an exisiting RC buggy design and the electirc motor has been optimized to give a higher RPM and torque than the original. The first test run of motors will be available soon.

    Does your new car need touchscreen, Bluetooth, GPS, Internet acces and such? Maybe not. But most likely it has it. That's the way the world is progressing. There is obviously enough demand and that's the direction TLG is following. And YES you need Bluetooth to control PU motors, there needs to be an programmable controller even for tasks as simple as moving a motor a couple of degrees. Moving a motor a couple a degrees is not as trivial as it seems, you need some kind of an intelligent controller with P, PI or even PID regulation. Having an active feedback loop on your steering ir other systems allows the models to self-correct. Just try to steer 42099's wheels while it's connected and you will feel the motor pushing agsint your force. All of these things require flexible, remote processing power which only a phone can provide.

    Don't forget the firefighting tanks. Back to topic, if this is a rescue vehicle, I would imagine there's a winch somewhere for the actual rescuing?
  23. Zerobricks
    Quite a few and it's not just about speed. Having a servo allows you to control the models much smoother and to center the wheels. A servo is and always be needed for precise control IMO.
  24. Zerobricks
    And what speed do they reach? Anything going over 50 cm / second is too fast to control preciesly without a servo. Also why do all RC cars, slow or fast have return to center?
  25. Zerobricks
    Actually every steered vehicle needs a servo. Did you ever tried controlling a fast, capable model without a servo for steering?
