  1. I do not understand why they are using L beams to connect portal axles instead of those dark brown connectors? Also is there lots of backslash in the steering due to the driverings?
  2. You only got a half pin? Poor guy...
  3. If it had a middle diff, he couldnt front tracks wouldnt spin when he rotated the rear tracks. A very awesome model, whcih I will buy, if not two.
  4. Maybe toggling collision physics would help? But I think you should split the model into several small ones, since you are risking corrupting the file.
  5. IMO they recolored it to avoid confusing it with the other ones, as it happened in the Unimog.
  6. I am more worried about 42070's turn radius, steering lock does not seem very high...
  7. That is like a quarter of a stud, and even that might be just the bodywork, not the chassis. And everything in real life bends
  8. try using 12 and 24 tooth gears. You will get a 1:2 gear ratio AND axles will be aligned.
  9. Boost is not required, was just an example for third and fourth function.
  10. Might be an option, yeah. I am in the process of building my own car to test the rules in order to see if they are ok, or too strict.
  11. I think track can be wider, but not narrower than that Radius is determined by middle, so your model should be quite maneuverable.
  12. And here you can see some scenes of the model in action outdoors: A more detailed video is in the works
  13. I'd say no third party rubber bands allowed, since they can be used for a boost feature and would allow for unfair advantage to others. What I mean is you shouldn't have skid steering only. Yes, not just skid steering Correct, they can activate a pre-tension spring, or such, but not actually drive the drivetrain Yes you can use third function to shift gears, but not to power the wheels directly Like I said before, I'd say no third party rubber bands allowed, since they can be used for a boost feature and would allow for unfair advantage to others.
  14. Hi everyone, sorry for the late reply, had a busy week Here's the final draft for the rules: Max wheels to be used are 62.4 ones to keep models in small scale Max width of the cars 25 studs (20 cm) - in order to be able to overtake each other on the track and to keep models small Use any PF motor in any quantity Use any PF power source - AA battery box provides higher voltage, Li-po voltage is lower, but so is its weight Third and fourth functions are allowed as long as they don't directly help with driving - you can use it for switching gears, adjusting suspension, relasing springs for boost etc... Models should use classical steering, but additional torque vectoring on the drive wheels is allowed Sbrick is allowed Only 100% unmodified Lego is allowed, no modifying, gluing, etc, only exception being Sbrick and third party string No bare chassis allowed Seperate points for aesthetics - the better the looking the model, the higher distance from start the model can be placed ahead (open to voting on forums) For track I was planning to post the idea of: Having a standard width of the track 50 cm Track should include at least one 2 meter long straight - fast models will have advantage here Corners should be made with radius of 50 cm - agile models will have advantage here Largest ascend/descend of 15 degrees - models with high torque will have advantage at ascends Largest straight edge obstacles is 5 milimiters high - models with suspension and AWD will have advantage here Track material should be hard wood, stone or composite, no carpet allowed Track setup will be posted on the forums, so anyone can set up such a track in order to compete remotely
  15. Anyone else spots a new showel design? Image taken from brickset: https://brickset.com/article/28139/review-70915-two-face-double-demolition
  16. I took some time and finished the LDD model Remember, you have to open this model in LDD developer mode with collision physics disabled in order to load all the bricks. Download it by clicking here
  17. LDD file and video are planned for next weekend.
  18. I think 42069 is 4x4 because there is an axle going to the front suspension and a 9L link. I think the link is for steering, so the axle should be drive.
  19. If there is a problem I will remove the post... Meanwhile here is the shortcut list, which I forgot to post: Caps lock off 1 yellow shapes 2 violet shapes 3 cyan shapes Q remove all but holes R Random color coding pieces T post processing options O makes everything glow green P Black outlines G Hide all H color coding connected pieces J returns view toj origin K hides studs C Shows green crosses on parts V Shows collision elements M hides everthing but decals Shift or caps lock 1 yellow shapes 2 violet shapes 3 cyan shapes Q remove all but holes W wireframe R centers view A opens preferences and communications settings S shows statistics G hides grid ALT GR + T shows all the bricks in pallete
  20. Haha, 50 shades of blue Though I still think 42070 is same shade of blue as the VTOL jet.
  21. Just scaling up according to the wheels. Thanks. I plan to release a full video of the model at the end of the week.
