    Hi I know this topic might be better placed at Buy&Sell, but I already tried that few weeks ago with no luck. For Buwizz picninc on 9th and 10th of June I would need 2x5292 RC motors, for the Leopard 4x4. I would need them just for a few days, if anyone would be willing to lend them, of course I pay for postage, usage and return them back. Thanks

    Or maybe the 20 tooth idler gear has no function and is there to give us one more gear extra.

    Do you have GPS on when connecting to Buwizz? Try turning it on.

    What about changing gearing in the hubs to reduce the stress on the U joint?

    I believe the brake/hubs are a new piece, otherwise we would have to see a pattern oh 6 holes, not just 3. Hope they have less slack too.

    Actually...:

    Well done, Grum. It's hard to fandom just what kind of techniques you had to come up and use to build such a massive model all on your own. Any idea for future model build?

    Hi If anyone might have a couple od RC motors lying around and not using them I would love to buy them off from you: Reference photo: Thanks :)

    Thank for the positive responses to everyone. Here are a few more photos of the chasis with body removed:

    From the thumbnail it looks just like the real thing. Love the working water canon.

    Thank you mate! Here a are a few more outdoor photos with the whole trailer and Leopard setup: And you can see the massive scale of the truck when it's on the hood of my car:

    It took me a while to find time and a good day to record it, but here it finally is the video:

    Does furry fandom count?

    Here's a video tutorial on how to Motorize the Rally car with Buwizz:

    Here's an idea inspired by the axle from G63 AMG 6x6: As you can see the axle uses brick built hubs with a combiantion of the ball joints. This setup moves the virtual steering pivot point well inside the tyre: The advantages of this setup are as following: Lower force needed to steer the wheels Reduced sensitivity to bumps The wheels naturally self-center No need for massive wheel arches More realistic And of course there are a few disadvantages: More complex than normal solution Needs more space needed More moving parts Because the hubs are brick built, they may not be as sturdy

    Great idea using L motors directly coupled to the wheels! I had same idea a week ago, but I used L motors coupled with power puller wheels and tyres uisng CV joints and hubs and made a VERY capable monster truck chassis. I suggest you try use the CV joints and hubs inetad of U joints. Sure the CV joints WILL suffer and get slightly flat, but they seem to hold on better than U joints and because hubs do all the weight carrying, there is less friction in the axles.

    First, sorry for late reply, had abusy week. About the boom, it is suppose to look basic and utilitarian in order to contrast the detailed rest of the model. It also is made the extend out by additional 30 cm, while supporting a weight of around a kilogram. I will record the video as soon as the snow melts. The battery box was left uponed because I was in process of changing batteries didn't bother closing it. This thing drains batteries really fast, so I am thinking of using another source of power for video recording. Here are the close-ups of the rear axle subassembly: Notice anything unusual in the front axle?

    Sounds like he forgot to add the inner bearings to the hubs.
  20. Zerobricks
    Or use a differential instead of 16 tooth gears? EDIT, oops, already mentioned.
  21. Zerobricks
    Very well obseerved. yes the rear two axles have lockable differentials The 5x11 panels are connected with a function nobody guessed yet And yes, universal joints allow the steering wheel to steer along with the wheels.

    I used 3L axles insetad of usual 2L ones and a combination half-width levers, I will take more details picture of engine for you. It is loosely inspired by type of vehicle as seen below: And here is a challenge: Can anyone guess the functions I have not yet stated from the photo below:
  23. Zerobricks
    Reminds me of my old model built almost a decade ago: Good luck :)
  24. Zerobricks
    Very good thinking and I agree totally. Unless you use a U-joint like this: Few more photos I took today: The engine is a 15 cylinder in an ?epsilon? configuration.

    It should be possible to wedge another gear for reverse, Here is another photo of the model:
