Nice video my friend ❤💚❤💚❤💚 A very creative idea ❤💚❤💚❤💚 I look forward to seeing your designs. Congratulations on your journey forward💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Thank you!!! I'm very glad that I cheered you up! Perhaps soon there will be another MOC also from the original LEGO)) with a couple of original ideas)))
How did you get the car to shift so smoothly? I’m working on a similar project and my current challenge is trying to add a stepper mechanism to shift gears, which would allow me to add a clutch to shift gears easier. You seem to have bypassed the need for a clutch in this design and I’m very furious as to how. Is it because of the model being lightweight? Almost symmetrical build means center of mass is pretty much dead center, does that make it easier to switch?
That's actually a really deep question. 1. You're absolutely right about the weight. The lighter it is, the better everything works. 2. There's a difference between shifting gears while moving forward and backward. Through trial and error, I found the best direction for moving forward and the worst for moving backward. I honestly pointed this out in the introduction of the instructions. This isn’t random; it’s a structural characteristic of LEGO. 3. Symmetry and proper weight distribution don’t play a big role here. What’s much more important is minimizing all possible slack and wobble in the gearbox design, plus optimizing the number of parts by reducing them as much as possible. I also implemented a version with synchronized clutching, and it works almost perfectly. You can check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/QLmfJheo7ks/v-deo.html.
Yes, you’ve pointed out one of the weak spots in the front suspension design. However, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find an acceptable and visually pleasing way to incorporate that connection into the design. That said, the arm attachment to the hub from set 42160 turned out to be really solid. For a model weighing 1.2-1.5 kg, this connection is more than enough to keep the arm from detaching from the hub. It’s been tested over many kilometers.
You're right, it's slow. But this is stock LEGO - slow motors and a heavy battery pack. In future videos, I'll use a faster BuWizz motor, but don't expect crazy speeds. I don't build for hype; I focus on control, reliability, and keeping the parts intact. Still, I want it to look good since these are toys for fun. Striking a balance between these is my approach to LEGO Technic.
i like suspension, very smooth!
Pretty rigid suspension. Her real work can only be seen on slow-down replays.
Great, now I need to build this hotrod. Thank you very much for the instructions! Keep the good work!!
Underrated
The main thing is that you like)) I hope😊
you are right
it'ws really good!
😊

U deserve more subscribers and support
I hope luck will come someday))
whats the name of the app you are using?
Controlz - free app in AppStor and GooglePlay. I recommend this application. I've been using it myself for many years.

u have to connect upper and lower front control arm unless the spring will push the lower one of of the wheel hub

@@SimplyLegoTechnic ok Then if it Works leave it until it stops working lol
I like it very much but add more gears in car
Oh yes))) it's as difficult as making the model again))) But another increased gear would be useful here!
interesting but slow
