Jurss Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) My idea/plan for TC7 Quad x Quad aka Q2, aka Quadriciraptor (for badass name). I'm afraid, that it will not be black&white, ant that i will not fit some PF. First sqetch of idea This thing will change from something on 4 wheels to quadrocopter Some version 0.9 is made. It has power functions: - big battery box - XL motor for drive - servo motor for steering - L motor for transforming Size of vehicle - something like XL Functions: - changing from buggy to qudrocopter - lovering of roof when in fight mode - some shooter slides out in fight mode Edited June 28, 2015 by Jurss Quote
TheNextLegoDesinger Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 nice i had the idea of doing a buggy but i don't know yet if i take a buggy, SUV Or a Truck Quote
Jurss Posted June 16, 2015 Author Posted June 16, 2015 Started to do something for real. This was some third version, which finally littlebit satisfied me. Quote
Jurss Posted June 18, 2015 Author Posted June 18, 2015 Some progress. But I just don't know how to move futher. It is getting too big ... OK, driving mode Flying mode Quote
TheNextLegoDesinger Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 its weard that the wheels go up. you should do like the pic above Quote
Milan Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Front wheels are not powered, right? I cant see is that mini LA or driveshafts, Quote
Jurss Posted June 18, 2015 Author Posted June 18, 2015 its weard that the wheels go up. you should do like the pic above For me it seemed more ralistic. There in the center are planned propellers (static, it would be too difficult) Front wheels are not powered, right? I cant see is that mini LA or driveshafts, No. Not yet. Maybe they will be. Its pretty difficult to combine there everything. But they will be steered. I just fixed them, to see how the geometry operates. On the bottom there are used 4612100: Linear Aktuator 7-9 M Quote
Jurss Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 Added steering Connected together geometru changig system for fron and rear Then started to think, that i need XL motor for drive, and that geometry motor is too low and in wrong place in general Quote
LeocornoProductions Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Nice idea. Good luck with the progression of it :) Quote
Jurss Posted June 25, 2015 Author Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) We had midsummer vacations in Latvia. As I was away from home, there was almost no progress. Restarted just yesterday evening. The vehicle had problems with front wheels - hubs, becauces they didn't kept wheels in place, they where moving from axle ~+-10 degrees in any direction. They were wobbly. Here left side rebuilt, right still old original hub. Now it is almost impossible to move away from axle Started some body work also, but didn't took picture Edited June 25, 2015 by Jurss Quote
Jim Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Nice work so far. And a great idea I might be an idea to scale it down a little bit and make it more compact. Quote
Jurss Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 I might be an idea to scale it down a little bit and make it more compact. Was there some size limits? I wrote about it already, and i thought about it It is getting too big ... but i'm pretty limited by 4612100: Linear Aktuator 7-9 M , if i want to make it transformable by mechanisms, not by hand. Also battery box is pretty big. And if i want to add some propellers 92842 Propeller 3 Blade 5 ... Quote
Jim Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 There are no size limits. But you said it was getting too big Quote
Jurss Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 OK, then i'll stay at this size now. Maybe will create some little, tiny brother later. Quote
Milan Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Size is not the main problem, as I see it, the width is. It looks like too wide for it tire size and for its length, especially the front section. I guess folding mechanism takes up a lot of space. Quote
Jurss Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 proportions now are some kind of "optimum". As it transforms in some kind of quadcopter, then wheels have to be somwhere on squares corners. Quote

Nalyd997 Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Wow that is looking pretty cool! What are you going to do weapons wise? Quote
Jurss Posted June 28, 2015 Author Posted June 28, 2015 I'll make some more photos and video later this day. Small finetuning is also planned. Quote
MacKaiwer Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 I like very much looks of this Nice buggy style and it looks like a mean sand machine And nice idea to be a "transformer", waiting to see it finished, keep up the good work! Quote
Coola1 Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 I thought the Bandits couldn't use black... I think it's ok if it's used in a mixture of other colors, and it's not the predominant color. Quote
