    Gearbox was made to survive the torque of XL motor/3x L motors in any gear

    Here is a sneak peak of one of my biggest projects up to date: Project started with a new type of a gearbox, which uses only two toothgears at any time in order to transfer power from motors efficient to the wheels: Here are a few specs of the model: Length cca. 80cm when folded Width cca. 30cm Height cca. 25cm Weight cca. 4,5 cm Dual rear live axles in the back independent suspension in front 4 electrically controlled gears + 1 additional electro-pneumatically controlled gear Working towing arm in the back capable of lifting weights of over 1kg Dynamic lights All functions controlled by 3 Sbricks Currently we have snow here and I can't shoot a video as planned I will post more info as soon as I manage to take more photos and a video.

    Mind sharing LXF file?

    Here is how the 43,2mm rim sits perfectly in porsche's wheels and acts like a brake disc:

    I think we are getting new brake caliper imitations with 6 holes (or they are using large sprockets from the tracks). That would explaing the weird wheel pins and the old hubs. Remember, the real car has massive brakes!

    Here is an idea for axles only a stud wider than the ones used in Arocs, which include differentials with a high gear ratio (over 1:2) to reduce the strain on the U joints and reduce the torque twist: Download LXF here: https://bricksafe.com/files/Zblj/Misc/Medium axle high gear ratio diff.lxf

    We are getting new tranmission ring extender, since the current one is too long for the new 16 tooth gears.

    Here is the video of the model. Sadly I could't find enough room to see it's maximum range, the car covered a distance of 7,5 meters in around 3 seconds, giving it an average speed of 2,5m/s or 9km/h. I think it's safe to say top speed exceeded 10km/h, which in my opinion is quite a lot for a car this small.

    16. Roadster 2 Here's my entry model for the TC13 competition, which was inspired by the real life Tesla roadster 2 both aesthetically and mechanically: The shapes are very smooth and organic and the fact the car drives mere milimeters above ground, give it a very sporty feeling. There is enough room in the back of the cabin to fit two or three small human beings: The rear boasts a difusor and a small spoiler in the back: The rear two pullback motors power the wheel directly for best possible acceleration. BUT the front pullback motor is geared up. This additonal gearing gives the model a higher top speed and a greater range, which is a technique I have yet to see on any other pullback cars. Original topic with more info:

    This might be a clue for a color of an upcoming set.

    Turn off bluetooth on your phone :)

    Here's my entry model for the TC13 competition: It was inspired by the real life Tesla roadster 2 both aesthetically and mechanically. The model uses 3 pullback motors in the following configuration: As you can see the rear two pullback motors power the wheel directly for best possible acceleration. BUT the front pullback motor is geared up. This additonal gearing gives the model a higher top speed and a greater range, which is a technique I have yet to see on any other pullback cars. Around 30 panels were used to give the car it's very smooth, organic shape. Notice the small yellow rubber band used to keep the front part tightly together: There is enough room in the back of the cabin to fit two or three small human beings: The rear boasts a difusor and a small spoiler in the back, just like the real thing: While this is one of my smalles models to date, I am very pleased with how it turned out. The shapes are very smooth and organic and the fact the car drives mere milimeters above ground, give it a very sporty feeling. Video coming as soon as I find enough space to run it

    When I first saw pictures in my mail fodler I was just like WOW. One of the best and functional alternatives I had please to see. Amazing, Hall Of Fame material right there

    Everyone got the update? Cause my LDD doesnt seem to want to update...

    What about the simple dog bone?
  16. Zerobricks
    Winch is just meant to help out, not to really pull the whole weight. There will be a video with this plus another model driving outdoors soon

    It's like the red color is not the cheapest and default Lego color at all!
  18. Zerobricks
    I wanted to use that at first, but it's not as a good combo as yellow+purple. You can see some orange, lime and purple combo here:

    After a few month break it's time to get back to Lego and Eurobricks, and why not do it in style I give you the leopard 4x4: The model is a combination of the following ideas and concepts: Quite some time ago I came up with double torque tube suspension idea and now it was time to use it in a real model Claas tyres were an obvious choice due to their agressive profile and massive size. With the release of the 42069 set, I was finally able to build a model with a unique and striking color combination The final model took me some 12 hours to build and the features are as following: - Powered by 4 RC motors and 2 Buwizz - Double torque tube suspension - Independent dual drivelines - Dual servo steering gemoetry - Working winch - Working lights - Openable doors - Openable hood - Openable and removable rear cover Specs: - Width: 24 cm - Height: 24 cm - Weight: 1600 grams - Final gear ratio: 1:5 from outermost RC motor output - Total power: ~60 watts Now onto the photos: The rear trunk can be opened: There is barely enough room left for seats in the interior. Notice the different springs used to potimise suspension. The before mentioned springs give the model excellent flex: There are two servo motors used in order to keep the steering system as stiff and strong as possible: Under the hood there is a hidden winch, which is strong enough to lift the car: And the final, most important photo. Notice how the left and right side wheel drive axles use different colored joiners and bushes: And finally there is a video of the model in action: Safe to say the combiantion of the four RC motors and two Buwizzes with a low gear combiantion of 1:5 results in a model with impressive performance. As seen in the video Leopard can wheelspin all 4 wheels when accelerating on flat surface, which is a first for any of my Lego offroaders. Dual servo motors provide massive steering power and rigidity and allow the wheels to be steered into obstacles with ease. Only downside to the model is it's slightly high center of gravity cause by all the added panels and detailing. P.S. It feels good to be back

    Here you can see, how simply skewing and slightly blurring the picture makes the panel look like a 5x11. I really do wish for new parts, but in this case I highly doubt we are gettign any new dog bones.
  21. Zerobricks
    Also one more proof. See how linear actuators are attached to the boom. There is a red T piece, which is same height as the panel above.
  22. Zerobricks
    Rener, look at your avatar. It looks like a weird elipse shaped variation of a 24 tooth gear! Its same optical illusion here...
  23. Zerobricks
    Yes, those are 5x3 dog bones in red, it would not make sense for Lego to release both 3x5 and 3x7 dog bones in same color, because they would be too easy to mix up. Also as @Bartybum mentioned, the rear panels are also curved 3x11, 3x7 types and they are same height.
  24. Zerobricks
    Would be awesome to see steering modes returning from Class.
  25. Zerobricks
    A friend of mine mentioned, the arm thing on the volvo is actually a camera, which makes total sense, seeing the wires going out of it. If this is indeed the case, we might be looking at a set, which can be remotely controlled via a phone or a tablet with actual videolink feedback. That would be an awesome upgrade to the Power Functions!
