Porsche96 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Welcome everybody :) Today I’d like to present my new MOC. Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X Specifications Scale 1:8 Length 74s / width 31s / height 21,5s (60/24,5/17 cm) Weight: 3700 g Front suspension: McPherson struts with realistic geometry – Caster, Camber and Ackerman Rear suspension: independent, multilink 4x4 drive 4-speed gearbox AA + AAA Battery Box 6 motors Functions Driving (2 XL + L) Steering (L) Changing gears (M) Locking central diffrential (M) Led headlights (switch) Working steering wheel Opened bonnet Opened trunk Opened doors (front with lock) History From a long time I wanted to build Lancer Evo. When I saw Impreza WRX STi built by Pipasseyoyo, I knew that I have to make his “eternal rival” – Evo. What’s more I prefer Lancer than Impreza :) I started building at the end of the May. It went quite fast and after one week the chassis was done. Unfortunately I created the body not as fast, because I finished it few days ago. Drivetrain The Mitsubishi is driven by two XLs and one L motor. The XLs are connected with the gearbox. It uses the new driving rings. Then from the other side the drive from gearbox goes to the differential, and from the second one an axle from L motor with reduction 3:1. The differential powers the central differential, which transmits the power to the axles. It is a bit complicated, so there are some diagrams :) Gearbox ratio: I 5:1 II 3:1 III 1,67:1 IV 1:1 The changing gears mechanism is based on that presented by Sariel few months ago. It is powered by M motor. For locking the differential I used M Motor with reduction 3:1. Steering For steering I used L motor, which propel the gear rack 1x13 with ratio 9,6:1. Suspension In the front there are McPherson struts. I tried to imitate them correctly, tahat’s why there is a geometry – Caster, Camber and Ackerman. For depreciation I used 9.5L absorber (from Unimog) and grey 6.5L. In the rear there is multilink independent suspension. I used 9.5L absorber (from Unimog) and yellow 6.5L. Some photos Gallery Quote
piterx Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 now that's huuuuge lol it looks really good! well done :) Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 That is a great looking car,your car chassis does have similarity of sheepo's chassis did you base it of this? Quote
Jurss Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Huge, functional, and thats all. Yes, it looks like Mitsu, but that bodywork doesn't look good, like it is almost for all such a big creations. \ Maybe that was sheepos Mitsu or Subaru (black?). That body also looked strange. Yeas, i can't better, and that's why i don't build such a thing. There was big Porsche 911, that looked good. How front wheel drive is working? Doesn't those cardans pop out or "brake"? because joint isn't on axle, where wheel turns. Or it just looks like that, because of McPherson? Quote
sm1995 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Wow, that is huge! Very nicely done. However, I do think that proportions are a bit off. The glasshouse imo is too tall and wide, maybe you could try making the roof one stud shorter from both sides( left and right)? Other than that, good job Edited July 22, 2015 by sm1995 Quote
Meatman Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Wow, that is massive. I think the wheels are too small though. Quote
zux Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 While proportions might be a bit off, I find this good piece of engineering. I see you spent some time getting rid of all blank spaces in the body! Quote
Porsche96 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) That is a great looking car,your car chassis does have similarity of sheepo's chassis did you base it of this? No, it doesn't. It's all my idea :) How front wheel drive is working? Doesn't those cardans pop out or "brake"? because joint isn't on axle, where wheel turns. Or it just looks like that, because of McPherson? Yes, there is a little friction, but it doesn't influence on driving and doesn't pop out. And yes, it looks like that, because of McPherson. The glasshouse imo is too tall and wide, maybe you could try making the roof one stud shorter from both sides( left and right)? Other than that, good job I know about that, but the center pillar is based on that part. If I were to make the roof shorter, I should use these pieces,but when I saw it's price, I decided not to buy it :D Thanks for nice words :) Edited July 22, 2015 by Porsche96 Quote
Victor Imaginator Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 I like it, very recognizable) May you show front suspension from different angle? Quote
Rishab N Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 What tires are that? They're the tires from the 42000 race car Link Quote
Porsche96 Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 I like it, very recognizable) May you show front suspension from different angle? Of course, here are the pictures :) Quote
Block_Smarts Lego Technic Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Huge, functional, and thats all. Yes, it looks like Mitsu, but that bodywork doesn't look good, like it is almost for all such a big creations. \ Maybe that's because the original car is ugly... Quote
miguev Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Great model, seems pretty fast for the size and weight. Would you explain why this drive train? It's already a bit complex to see how it works, but what really puzzles me is why it works! Good photography as well, I like this one in particular But above all, how comes it didn't seem to suffer from driving through water? Quote
