42176 Porsche GT4 e-Performance
TexasEngineer454 replied to Ngoc Nguyen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI really enjoyed @kbalage review, but this may have shifted my willingness to buy this set upon release in a few weeks. I was expecting more speed, but compared to the 42124 it seemed to be lacking. I also saw that in the video and wondered if the rear outputs are spinning at the same speed as the side outputs? The hub itself is interesting because of the lights and the compact size, but I'll wait to see if the folks at BrickController get it worked into the app before I purchase.

42175 Volvo FMX Truck & EC230 Electric Excavator
TexasEngineer454 replied to Ngoc Nguyen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI guess I'm in the minority, but I really like this set. My only minor issue is the single rear axle on the truck with the small 49.5x14 tires. Wish TLG would've gone with either a dual rear axle or at least 56mm tires on the truck. Same with the small tires on the trailer.

Let's See Your Trailers
TexasEngineer454 posted a post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingDecided to post an open discussion looking for ideas for your MOC trailers. I am currently working on my fleet of Technic RC vehicles and trying to find the best trailer design. I have gotten my MOC 42110 pretty much geared to where I want it and it's capable of some mild crawling and towing. So far the issues I'm running into are the coupler for the hitch and the trailer axles. I'm leaning towards a single axle now but I'd rather use a walking beam design. Any ideas you all have would be greatly appreciated!

42161 Sterrato + Motorized MOD
TexasEngineer454 replied to Zerobricks's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingWhat is skid steer? I see that you ran 2 separate drive lines for each side of the vehicle? I'm very interested in how this works in regard to steering and turning radius.

[WIP] Praga Trial Truck 6x6
TexasEngineer454 replied to Teo LEGO Technic's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThis turned out awesome! Great build! This build inspired me to start my own 6x6 RC vehicle and I had a few questions for you. What is the gear ratio coming from your drive motor? Any issue with not using differentials on the axles?

[TC25] 41999 4x4 Crawler Exclusive Edition
TexasEngineer454 replied to gyenesvi's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingAwesome work! The dual steer axles are great! Is it a single servo to steer both front/rear axles?

RC High Performance Motorized LEGO PEUGEOT 9X8 Hybrid Hypercar brushless motor #42156
TexasEngineer454 replied to zen-es's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI assumed it was geared "UP" but maybe I'm mis-understanding how we explain UP versus Down when discussing geared differentials. Either way, I'm still very curious what the gear ratio is for this piece.

RC High Performance Motorized LEGO PEUGEOT 9X8 Hybrid Hypercar brushless motor #42156
TexasEngineer454 replied to zen-es's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingJust curious, what's the gear ratio for this style of differential? Based on the size and shape I have to assume it's geared up (small gear on input axle to larger gear on drive axle).

Lets "fix" powered up!
TexasEngineer454 replied to allanp's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI've been re-reading through this thread as I've been doing some testing with my hubs and motors recently. Does anyone have, or know where I could find a comprehensive list of the Powered Up pre-set controls for the various sets? What I mean by this is, I know for the 42124 set that the A port is the drive control and the B port is the steering control. I have been using this as a test base for some of my MOC variations and using the BrickController2 and a BT remote for more controlled drive testing. If we had a list of the various sets and the correct ports for each that maybe immensely helpful to those who just want to use the app "as is" for a testing base.

Powered Upp app updates: how to create custom control profiles for your MOCs and steer by tilting your phone
TexasEngineer454 replied to Sariel's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingWas trying to control multiple PU motors with just my smartphone for my Landrover MOC. But the coding issues and the lack of precise control made it almost impossible to drive. Brickcontroller seems to be easier to use and interface with my xbox remote. I'm just starting to learn more about the PU hubs and motors. I'm not as familiar with buzzwizz and it seems it's not as easily available in the US anyways.

Powered Upp app updates: how to create custom control profiles for your MOCs and steer by tilting your phone
TexasEngineer454 replied to Sariel's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingTHanks @Andman I found that thread after posting here. Unfortunately I don't think I can get the type of controls I need out of the PU app. Back to using Brickcontroller and an old XBOX remote for me.

Powered Upp app updates: how to create custom control profiles for your MOCs and steer by tilting your phone
TexasEngineer454 replied to Sariel's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingResurrecting an old thread: Has anyone used this app since the updates? I'm trying to program my controller for my MOC and the updates have changed the blocks around quite a bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

42160 Audi RS Q e-tron
TexasEngineer454 replied to keymaker's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI like it. The 42124 set had been one of my favorites and I really enjoy the C+ sets so this looks to be a good addition. Anyone have an accurate estimate on when the release maybe? And the price?

[MOD] 10317 Land Rover Defender Remote Controlled
TexasEngineer454 replied to Cyrix78's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI just looked through your photos on Bricksafe and noticed the view with the top off. Is this a standard design to have a removable top? I agree with sacrificing the 4WD system in order to have a more "original" look to the finished MOC. I had to choose to remove all of the interior from my 42110 Defender in order to fit the motors, battery hub, and other driveline features.

TexasEngineer454 replied to Cyrix78's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingGreat work! Any shots of how you mounted the motors and connected them to the drivetrain?
