well, with lego the whole suspension is a bit experimental and if it wouldnt work in terrain.... well, then i have my rocksolid but not scale axles from my big G

[Boxerlego]

Looking at the pictures has answer my second question about steering setup. Now that is pretty sweet to have the steering all controllable by one servo motor.

[OleBM]

the scale fits in both sizes to their tires,

has someone used this dampers for suspensions before and how does it works in terrain?

This works well if you disassemble it, and then use a thick needle to poke one or two holes in the round rubber dampening part. When you then assemble it, it will work as a real shock absober in a real car.

Probably a stupid question, but i'v been looking at the LDD file. What I am I getting wrong, gears appear to be driving the part of the turntable that is connected to the frame of the truck. Therefore it wouldn't turn the wheels, it would be trying to turn the truck around the wheels?

Like I said i'm pretty sure i'm missing something.

[efferman]

to be exact the center 8 tooth gear is driving the four planetary 8 tooths which are mounted at the wheel. the four eight tooths are reacting with the static 24 tooth at the turntable and pushes the wheel forward. for more informations read this at wikipedia

[efferman]

again a minor change, but at this time from complex and fragile to simple but solid. the main reason was the big amount of universal joints wich the older version has needed. this version needs only 4, the fragile version would need 20 universal joints.

as transmission system i have tried a limited slip diff. to realise this, i have used one of the white torque limiter gears. it is mounted at one of the diff outputs and is driven by the same axle which drives the full diff. this realizes at the same time the slip limiting and reducing the strain on the center 12 tooth in the diff. the complete gear ratio is 1:8

[DLuders]

I like the continual innovations that you are making!

[GuiliuG]

I see a problem : both axles are linked together with a ball-joint ! Otherwise, they look great and efficiently built.

[AndyCW]

I like the limited slip solution. It looks like 8:1 overall gearing from a PF XL.

How are you going to locate the axles under the chassis?

[Zerobricks]

One top. Gear up Xl 20:12 and than gear it 12:20 with half bewel gears. This way the bewel 12 tooth gears wont slip

[efferman]

I see a problem : both axles are linked together with a ball-joint ! Otherwise, they look great and efficiently built.

the balljoint between the axles will be guided with my liftarm solution from my Big G. if there will happen no disaster, the axles will go straight forward.

zblj, which slip on the 12 tooths?

[Zerobricks]

The bewel12 tooth to regular one near the diff.

[efferman]

maybe i will have a bad awakening when the Kat is pulling my mog through the forest, but i think the 12 tooths are good secured to the 24 tooths.

[GuiliuG]

Yes but the central axle can't compress without the rear one does the same...

[efferman]

maybe there are some influences, and i will see it first at a testtdrive, but where would be the technical reality when no one test out his sick ideas?

[efferman]

the third axle is final, because i have reached nearly 60 cm in length, the next update will be outside

[Someonenamedjon]

So you won't be doing the eight axles in the picture you posted? I think it will look great anyways though

[efferman]

... of the fotobox

tomorrow hopefully a vid in terrain

[Someonenamedjon]

oh...it looks really good though! I can't wait for the video!

[rm8]

Hoo hoo. Catching my falling jaw:))) Size is everyting!:)))

Change you nick Efferman => 3Gman : Giant, Gelandewagen, Germany man!:D

[Zerobricks]

Or Gman from HL2 :) Looks really massive!

Edited April 27, 2013 by Zblj

[legomuppet9]

That's absolutely massive looks great

[efferman]

please take a seat and be the co-driver

[Zerobricks]

Not bad, but suspension looks a bit stiff so far. But when you wil finish it, and there will be more weight, it should be fine.

You used 1 servo to control 2 others?

Edited April 27, 2013 by Zblj

[efferman]

yes, the suspension is actually to stiff and the frame to flexible, the final modell should work fine.

the servo controls the four PF-XL with the two direction reversers. so i have the full current of the battery boxes and i need only one receiver for an multi motor setup.
