Hello evry1, I'm attemting to build my first MOC. What I'm aiming for: - something like a retro / vintage / classic car, two seater cabrio. Like the Catherham Seven or what this guy made - 4x4, motorized with independent suspension; - the gear shifter will manually shift between neutral (only the fake engine will work), 2x4, 4x4 and 4x2 (yeah, i'm going to need some help with this one) - in the future I intend to attach a go pro to an arm. the arm must turn the camera 360 and lower or raise the depression angles. Currently I have the following sets: - 2 x 8838 Shock Bike; these two sets will supply the wheels, suspension and chain; - 1 x 42050 Drag Racer; i will use the fake V8 engine from this set; - 1 x RC Tracked Racer Set 42065 - from this one i will use the two M motors (stearing + drive), battery box, IR receiver and remote; - 1 x Arctic Truck Set 42038 - this set has a switch with gears which i want to use to switch manually between N, 2x4, 4x4, 4x2. - 1x Fire Truck Set 8289 - 9392 Quad Bike Set - 3 differentials, universal joints (cardan), verious gears and miscellaneous parts. This being my first MOC, I have some questions: 1. are the two M motors enough or do I need to get an XL engine for te drive. I expect the set to be large and I dont know if one M engine will be enough to power the fake engine along with the 4x4 drive train? 2. how do i make the manual switch between N and traction settings? Theser are 4 options, the switch I have only has three settings. 3. the transmision will be: M motor > central differential and the fake engine (the motor will turn the fake engine at all times) > from the central diff to the front and rear differentials > wheels. Is this ok? Thank you! Bwt, do I need to gear down the motor?
