Really neat info great for beginners like me.

A while back I did a LDD file for just this reason, seems the unimog has the most parts in one set with 69.8% http://www.brickshel...AWD-SUV/awd.jpg

I ordered a 9398 rock crawler and got a haunted castle instead, like its really easy to mistake a castle for car, but the best was when I won a 51999 and there was pieces missing.

Could get a lego extention cable and put a potentiometer (like a hifi volume control) inbetween, I'm not exactly sure why PF needs 4 wires and which ones to put the potentiometer on.

Is that like delta angles in games programming so the game character goes in the right direction in relation to the view point in a 3D world?

I see on the lego site you can buy gyros separately now, I assume ev3 will apply progressive control to the servos so its just a case of writing the program. Now I have to save up for ev3.

Reminds me of Joe 90

Very good soution so 4 servos for active suspension, a servo for steering, 2 L or XL motors for propusion and maybe skid steering thrown in, I dont have the first clue how the giro works but it needs to work not just sideways but also front to back, so whatever you put the vehicle on it would automatically try to stay level, were not talking williams F1 active suspension here but it should ride over bumps and stay level on inclines as long and its not going too fast for the servos to keep up.

The the film last days on mars there is a rover with self levelling suspension, could the EV3 with giro sensor control 4 sets of actuators to keep a vehicle level?

The upcoming swingloader has all types of motor I believe.

At first glance it looked real, then I thought why are there lego pieces on the the trailer, oh its lego. Very nice indeed.

Making stuff to sell on rebrickable and elsewhere might raise some cash, rebrickable is always wanting alternate models built from one set, the more people that can build something the more chance you have of selling.

Nice, minitures seem to be the in-thing atm.

Years ago lego would create new models using existing sets or combinations of sets, these booklets you could buy at stores were great and I still have one, 2 models from so many parts of the 9398 is not much.

Sweet design, could use a dremil to cut the + in a normal hub?

No one expects high standards and thats why I like this forum, I'll be getting ev3 later in the year so I'll bookmark this for now because it looks quite interesting. Anyone that can use LDRAW has talent, thats one tough app to use.

If memory serves I'm sure there is a video of piter making this in time lapse, and If there are any full size pics or vids if you would be so kinds as to upload.

It was on youtube, below the vid is a link to a ldd file, there are loads of parts in it, its like a quick reference thing so you can quickly get the parts you need.

Someone has made some quite good looking PF parts for LDD with existing bricks. They could be used instead of having to use ldraw.

Good concept for a table top game and would keep kids quiet for hours, are the balls spring lauched from like a turret or do you flick or chuck them? Those renders are very nice indeed.

I'll get some wheels, cv joints, steering rack on order soon, most of the rest I have from other sets. My friend had a fwd fiat panda some years ago and people made fun of the seats but that car ran forever and a day.

Could always double up on the gears like this tamiya gearbox to spread the load. Does that motor have enough power for flight?, because its looks like it to me. :D

Stanced is the latest modding craze, that is until cars start flying into ditches .

After looking again at the LDD, it might be easier to serperate body, chassis, bonnet, doors then convert seperatly and do part counts to make sure nothing got lost. Only piterx knows how all the insides fit together properly and hopefully its not too much work to finish.
