Effe's MOC Corner

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

[timslegos]

Super compact as usual that is awesome!

Totally rebuilded!:o

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

[efferman]

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.

[Sicil]

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

[jorgeopesi]

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

[efferman]

indeed lipko, using classic solutions is boring

btw, the first frame version is finished

[Pat-Ard]

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:)

[efferman]

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.

[Zerobricks]

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

[rm8]

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

[efferman]

decide yourself

btw, the vid has no speedup

[legomuppet9]

This looks to work really well, good job

[Tim S.]

Looks very good! Great design and very compact.

Well done.

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

[efferman]

thanks guys

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

[efferman]

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

[rm8]

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?

[efferman]

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.

[efferman]

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?

[Pat-Ard]

That's so cool!!!

[jacobkristensen]

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:-)
