StudWorks replied to StudWorks's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI think you're right. Anything I could do about the clicking? I drive in 3rd and 4th and it makes these clicking noises that are as loud as anti-lag. -
StudWorks replied to StudWorks's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingA matter of fact, that seems to be the case. For some reason when I rotate the input shaft one wheel hub always moves faster than the other.

StudWorks replied to StudWorks's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThat's what I thought, it is a small gear moving a big gear, so it should be a gear reduction. I don't get why it is the opposite.

Hi. I was working on my car MOC (with a four-speed gearbox designed by Sariel) and had some unfortunate events happen. As stated in the title, the differential is somehow making the gear ratio higher than I need it. The gear moving the diff is moving at the same speed as the power input, but the wheel hub moves one rotation for every 3/4 rotation that I move the input shaft. Is this differential piece supposed to do this? I want the wheels to move at the same speed as the motor at 4th gear, which brings me to my next problem. I hear rapid-fire clicking noises every time my car is in 3rd and 4th gear. This happened to my other MOCs too, but I was able to solve it. Since the car is to be powered by two EV3 large motors, I actually believe there might be a clutch mechanism in the motors such as in the Technic linear actuators that also make a terrible clicking sound when they move all the way up or down. Whatever it is, I'm open to responses and hope the Eurobricks community could provide an explanation and solution about both of these issues. Here's some pictures, the orange and red pieces in the first pic were for testing the rotations. ' Thank you for your time.

StudWorks replied to StudWorks's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingFinished. The motors are placed exactly where I wanted them, fitting the measurements of 4.7 inches tall and 2.6 inches long. Now I got to test the drivetrain, reinforce it, and get started on the aesthetics building, which make me kind of nervous. Wish me luck to get this done before 2020.

This is a 1:8.3 scale Technic MOC car I am making powered by EV3. Things have been going well until I ran into some space issues with some Large Motors. I wanted them to be vertical, but they were too big, so I'm trying ways to get more space so the motors won't be very visible when I build the exterior. In the right picture, I positioned the motors at an angle to save space, however it may make the rear too long. The maximum room I have (according to blueprints) for the motors is 2.5 inches away from the rear wheels, so I need to save a lot of space or I have to expand the rear. All in all, I have to position the motors where they are not too high or not too far from the rear wheels. I'd thought I post this issue I have because I wonder if there is any other better way to do this. Thanks in advance for any thoughts or advice.

StudWorks replied to StudWorks's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThanks to everyone. I’m happy to say I’m going to continue my MOC build and even use some of the cracked pieces I have as they still work.

StudWorks replied to badmad's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingNice front axle. Is this really your first Technic car MOC? You sure know a lot.

StudWorks replied to badmad's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingBeing a MOC builder who is also making his first large-scale sports car, I hope you succeed. As for the measurements of the car, you should find the most flat side view image you can and slap it into Sariel's Model Scaler. Or, you can get the blueprints for a car very similar to it (the Battista does look very much like a Ferrari 488). Good luck.

StudWorks replied to StudWorks's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingYou're right. That was one of the solutions I had. All lightly cracked pieces still would work in my MOCs, albeit with me being careful. Thanks for your feedback.

Just building my MOC and I found out pieces I thought were in great condition are forming cracks already. 1. I thought only grey pieces were prone to these types of cracks, I was wrong. 2. Lots and lots of broken grey pieces. Almost every piece I have like this now has a crack. 3. Here's the same pieces but showing the cracks on the other side. 4. U-joints are just so easy to break. 5. I even broke one of these. 6. To test the durability of this piece (which some I have are in the earliest phase of cracking) I put an axle halfway through, put pressure on it, and the piece's "axle inserter" snapped. Trying to stay positive, but this is really holding back my builds. Wish I could find some way to prevent this from easily happening or if the cracking is a defect with the part. Is anybody else experiencing cracking with pieces where you put in axle? Would like some feedback from the community, thank you.

That's fine. I'll make and comment on some posts while I wait. I understand.

Hello Peppermint_M. I tried to message you but had a glitch where it said "only 0 messages per day" even though I have never sent a message before. I would like to get your opinion on something that I didn't want to publicly post. Thank you, StudWorks

Hi. I had something happen to me with the site and used “contact us” but didn’t get a reply back.
