SNIPE Posted May 6 Posted May 6 it would have made more sense to just have (years ago) a 1L axle with stop and male cv joint, then using axle joiners you can make any length you want from 4L or higher. And just make the female variant a 2L axle , not a 1.5L axle with 0.5L centre stop. Now we have a load of parts that could just be made from what I just said... Quote

Exactly what I said when the Ford GT came out. In fact I have the male part with 1L axle 3d printed at home, and it seems to work fine in terms of spacing. I still don't understand why they made it as a single piece, what's the situation in which making it from parts would not work.. On interesting advantage of building it from parts would be the possibility to make a shaft that has a new CV joint at one end and an old one at the other. I would have needed that once.. Quote

R0Sch Posted May 7 Posted May 7 90% done. I'm still struggling with the exact suspension and steering design. Quote
NV Lego technic Posted May 7 Posted May 7 It is still impressive how you manage to reverse engineer it from a few stock photos. Quote
Aurorasaurus Posted May 7 Posted May 7 Awesome work @R0Sch! Can you share a photo of the underside/provide the file you have so far? I want to take a good look at this one... Quote

Zerobricks Posted May 7 Posted May 7 Well done! There should be a 7L steering rack and 4L links for the steering system, I think they are behind the axle and the horizontal shared shock is in the front of the axle. Quote

Edit: Actually- it can be built like that if the dbg pins are pushed out, then the lbg angle connector dropped in, then the dbg pins pushed in. but I don't think thats likely. Edited May 7 by Aurorasaurus Not actually an illegal build, whoopsies. Quote
