There seems to be a mechanical safety clutch on the drive outputs which can be triggered by slowly driving the car forward and pushing it back. I can't wait to see an opened hub for even more features!

I recommend we handle this on support, send an E-mail and please put as many details as possible, such aa phone type, application, control profile, etc...

Same with ball joint pins. But you can put a bar a full stud inside 3L frictionless pin and stack them together with 2L pins to form and endlessly long pin.

Nice find! I guess the reviewers somehow missed that one? I do wonder if we will eventually get inverted versions of all the panels.

Literally every flat panel has such a shape in the corner

Been there, done that Plenty, maybe even too much, since the outputs are geared down 9x. I could ditch the rear live axle and use independent suspension on all wheels and change the gearing to 5,4 to gain more speed.

Started to build the 42176, but I think I made a mistake somewhere, since I ended up with this: These are just a few quick photos of the working prototype, but it does show that the hub can be used for both a functional and a structural element in a non racing models aswell.

Also current pneumatics don't suck air, they always use positive pressure. First LEGO version is a different story though.

Problem is that you can install BuWizz in any direction/oreintation, and you would have to have several parameters to adjust the compensation response... It would complicate things a lot. I found another feature. The drive motors are regulated, so they are always at the same RPM when driving straight and there is an electronic differential implemented, so that the RPM of the inner wheel is reduced and the outer one is increased. But that also means that the hub is probably not delivering full power to the drive motors in order to maintain RPM...

Got the set today and noticed several things: Optic fibers are 3,2 mm diameter, so they are NOT standard 3,0 mm Rear and side outputs are 1:1 ratio and perfectly synced + to + When driving the hub seems to use the accelerometer or a gyro to compensate jaw by activating the steering output - this means this model should be able to go very straight

Yes, it should, you should be able to use all 4 ports at once for smart functions such as steering and gearboxes. Also you should be able to control both axles independently.

How about those used in Creator Corvette?

Different factories?

I think the steering wheel is way too back, unless the driver will sit in the bed?

168,75 would make sense, 180 - half of 22,5.

Sooo... What's the angle?

Big IF the electronics can take a higher voltage...

You're off to a good start indeed! Welcome and keep up the good work.

I assume because they have less slack than normal ones, probably had issues with tyres hitting the wheel covers. Also they are more expensive to produce since they are from some 7 or so parts, hence they are used only where realy needed,

I can't see the video in my country... Anyone kind enough to share it? Thanks!

I seriously doubt you will see an official boat with this unsealed hub. Water can get inside via battery port, USB C port, wheel bearings or any of the other 15+ building holes. The outputs are rotating counter-wise due to the simple nature of the design where the drive motors are placed longitudinally inside the hub. I do wonder what the gear ration between the different outputs is though... I think the rear outputs are very useful for custom builds, as they allow for easier integration and I hope to see them used in the future in an official build. Might be a bit off topic, but I have a feeling the upcoming 1:12 Toyota Supra might be motorized using the same hub.

IMO it's the best 1:16 scale models so far! Gonna get the gray one for sure.

Nice combo model! Only thing I'm not a fan of is the torsion bar suspension, pretty sure you can set up shock absorbers in such way to avoid that.

I seriosuly doubt that, those diffs are very strong and the load is spread over multiple gears.

As others have said amazig job! Any way to use fenders and lips from the raptor instead of brick-built ones?
