No problem, I didn't put in a four speed for a few reasons: lowness, shifter and brake in mid console, and not wanting to put it in the back with a high engine like a lot of other cars.

Now when I put my Bella (terrier) to sleep (like on my profile image), I'll make some notes about Unimog project...

For model that I plan driving shaft goes from gearbox to differential at the side of engine, so all drivetrain is very low (real car is some 107cm heigh and with 5 liter engine in front of rear axle). Enjoy in your project development which has to be finished before 24 Hours race

I dare say I am close to done  the chassis, so I need to finalize bodywork, and then a photostream.......

It would have been better if there were less gaps on the exterior. But still nice!

If only I could be so fast in building my mocs, every-time something happens and leaves me with unfinished business for particular day, so I have to make to-do list over and over again... That is nice to see that builder is satisfied with work (of art)

The gaps are okay to me, so I can look inside and see what is there.

The gearbox was the point of my last supercar, I wanted a four speed, but I decided to make a two speed, and then I got the handbrake idea. That would be the point of no return, and I still am working, I just have not always been updating because I constantly rebuild new chassis.

I know the feeling - when you need some changes to steering or gearbox, than very often chassis reconstruction is the only option - that is nature of evolution

Expect a update this afternoon, and new pictures, I think I am close to final on the chassis.

The gearbox is flawlessly working now, and can hold but tires slip on cardboard. It holds 70 degrees with grip on wood.

i also just got my pnuematics delivered, so maybe i will make a car lift.

[Aventador2004]

UPDATE: the gearbox is fully installed, many features are added in already. the hog, steering connection, gearbox, engine, and suspension are in the car.

New ideas:

1. make a lift with my new pneumatic kit, a outside lift as a extra add on to this moc.

2. add a version with a gt body kit, adding canards, spoiler, splitter.

3. semi modular body?

To do:

1. add rear wing adjustment, using LA.

2. doors, worm+ gull wing.

3. body, aggressive.

4. hood+ storage, a trunk.

5. lights, and led area bonus.

new version 5.0

too ambitious? what do you think?

It looks very robust and sturdy, but at the same time it looks simple, Personally I don't think it is too ambitious. I forgot to mention that flat engine is very "original" idea and (from concept side of view) it reminds me on Mercedes C-292; the car for 24 Hours race

The Question:

Do you want instructions for the final car?

I want to know before I make them, only to find out nobody wants instructions for the final car.

[Aventador2004]

check op for update. and new car plan.

[TechnicRCRacer]

I would like instructions!

I am going to give it one last try maybe, the body is the problem right now, the chassis is fine.

[Aventador2004]

Update this afternoon, I have found a 5 stud tall rear suspension idea for less stiffness and more ride height.

[Aventador2004]

Sorry I missed updating, I finished the car, but a few tweaks to make.

What it has now:

Technical:

1. Steering, hog + interior.

2. Suspension, double wishbone.

3. Engine, working flat 6.

4. Gearbox, 2 speed+ park gearbox.

5. Reclining seats, using Mini linear actuator.

Aesthetic:

1. Doors, scissor.

2. Roof, Targa with storage area.

3. Frunk, opens using a pin lock.

4. Rear wing, adjustable.

5. Rear engine cover, foldable.

 

adjustable seats.

wing adjusts. 

rear cover foldable.

2nd favorite shot.

roof.

and the panel.

storage area.

i like the body, but i need more flexes.

Something to add, should I make a power functions version? I could leave the gearbox and add a motorized gearswitch, driving, steering, and another function tbd.
