changed trackwidth from 19 to 18, to fit better in scale of the G63 and switched to a diffless drivetrain

more technical changes are possible

Super compact as usual that is awesome!

Totally rebuilded!:o

But why dont you make 1 drive shaft to axle instead of 2 ?

i want a good turning performance, but with the more narrow axle was no space for a diff. so i had made the decission, to use one L motor per side.

Awesome. I'll be interesting to see the final result.

The one L motor per side is your firm Efferman but I think if you take away the differential the challenge of making a narrow shaft is eliminated.

Um.... why? Why do you want to limit yourself with preconceptions of how things are usually solved? The solution of a problem is important, not trying to replicate a specific solution. I think this solution is more innovative than stuffing a regular differential inside. The problem was first, a differential is just one possible solution.

IMHO

indeed lipko, using classic solutions is boring

btw, the first frame version is finished

WOW effe, again a real great design...I hope you'll make a lxf-file, too... It would be great to have a scalefitting G for the Unimogs!!!

Ho-ho :) frame-master.

Looks interesting.

Will Tank steering work here?

Will be glad to build my body on your chassis:)

Edited March 29, 201311 yr by rm8

no, tank steering should not be an option. to narrow in relation to the length.

by the way, the first running chassis is ready for making a small vid tomorrow

Brilliant diff solution! The chassis looks like a very reusable scale.

Cool! Looks really compact. I just hope the CV's will hold, they are prone to pop out.

Good work. Video will show how good it is;)

decide yourself

btw, the vid has no speedup

This looks to work really well, good job

Looks very good! Great design and very compact.

Well done.

Works very well. Looking forward to body building process:)

thanks guys

i have finalized the chassis and i will make tomorrow an LDD file before i make the hard part with the body

here i have the ldd file for you. the new wheel hubs on the rear axle, the PF-L and the Servo are not existing and the 6l steering plates on the front axle i have not found.

p.s. without the motors the chassis is at the back not stable

Edited March 31, 201311 yr by efferman

I will built your chassis!

Dont you think that all weight is distributed to the back?

What about placing servo motor at the front under the hood of model?

yes the main weight is near the rear axle, but the center of gravity is very low. to place the servo under the hood should not be a problem from technical point, but for design it would give some limitations. with the current setup there is nearly every body possible, for example something like your boss. so i have made the decission to mount it in the middle rear position.

two family photos to check the scale

101_0421 von efferman auf Flickr

after seeing the second picture i have checked the dimensions of the U400 and the G. the result was a scale of 1:12 for the mog and 1:12,75 for the G.

close enough?

with the tires of the black cat the scale would fit perfect. but why they are so expensive?

Edited March 31, 201311 yr by efferman

That's so cool!!!

Effe, why are your pneumatic cylinders placed so low, see my picture in the unimog thread, there you can see I have managed to fit them under the seats:-)
