Lego Technic Live Axle

[TheRcBandits]

who are the instruction i cant find that



[TheRcBandits]

hi hast du einen bauplan für das live axle?

have u a instrution plan?

[M5000thesdgversion]

I would lower the center of gravity a bit if you're going to be doing any off-roading with this baby. Beautiful work though.

[lullaren]

jest jakis tutrioal do tego? bbo na tvojej stronie niemoge znalesc :/

[100legos]

hey. can u make a vid on how to make 4 wheel drive on lego truck. i cant figure out on how to make front stering with the wheels spining.

[searme]

@100legos There are instructions at my website.

[spongebob123210]

@searme where are they i cant find them???

[searme]

@spongebob123210 Did you try to browse Ideas category?

[theonlyweirdohere]

@searme can you put this up on brick shelf because im looking to replicate this and i have front half but im unable to find the right points for the rear

[searme]

@theonlyweirdohere I did. Check my website.

[31puddin19]

@searme

you do know that you dont have a live axle, right? A live axle, AKA a spool, is a solid axle, there is no differential in a live axle setup. You obviously have a differential so its not a live axle.

[searme]

@31puddin19 Funny, I though live axle was the type of a suspension, so it's about how the axle is suspended, not what's inside it. I can take that differential out any second - according to you, this will magically transform it into a live axle, even though it's still suspended the same exact way, right?

[hypopsycho]

@searme correct as far as i recall a live rear axle is a solid rear axle exactly as you described not very likeable today but a throwback to the muscle cars.

[LittileBillyG]

@31puddin19 dude a live axel is an axel that can pivot from side to side and go up and down. a portal axel just rotates from side to side. the differential has nothing to do with it. every truck has a differential just some can lock and some are limited slip but its suspention type not differentials.

[TeamSt1nkyPigs]

MAKE A HOW TO VID I BEG U PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

[corotor12345]

You are aware (of course) that the trouble with any axle that has transverse freedom to rotate (perpendicular to it's axis of rotation) is bound to lift one of the wheels under heavy torque...

But still, the way you executed it is clean, light, efficient. You're a perfectionist.

[OpikDBN]

doceniam, ale to przerost formy nad treścią. Są o wiele skuteczniejsze i prostsze systemy zawieszenia

[DisarrayINC]

Is it worth using this for both the front and back or just the back?

[specialKdiet]

very nice =p



[legoclockfreak710]

song???

[peeprox1991]

Torque twist much? I think someone needs to rethink his cantilever geometry. If you want to utilise a cantilevered setup like that then you need shorter, stiffer shocks with that sort of cantilever ratio, or a longer ratio and longer, softer shocks. You also need to spread the vertical links wider on the axle. The design you have will result in awful handling in the real world. The car's design is already top heavy and it'll topple very easily on side slopes or cornering at speed.

[corotor12345]

@peeprox1991

It's a crawler, my concern and his (obviously) is "torque twist" rather than roll center and lateral stability.

[ecchibanzaii]

2:16 = Torque :D

[LordDecapo]

dude thats not an indepented suspension

[awesomelegoguns]

how about making this in BIGSCALE and drive it to school ? JUST Awesome!

[12Ritchie34]

respect

[Matty231]

Love it, trying to design a independant system like a cars using strut / shocks and some way of having steering AND even a drive shaft into it.

[LordDecapo]

i have a design im workgin on that is what u want, the whell has its own suspensino, is a drive wheel, and can steer

[plzforgiveme987]

should rename it to grasshopper axle looks like a grasshopper's legs

[titainlego]

u should make a off roader

[vinnie049049]

i've made a monster truck before, it has the same technic as this car, only made of different parts, and it was way bigger

its half unbuilded now, but if you want i can re build it

[p38lightning7]

looks like a axial rock crawler

[IWillEatURobloxStyle]

5/5 Nice invention of yours! Too bad I dont have the differential piece.

[EchoAlphaBravo]

what song is that?

[IWillEatURobloxStyle]

Maybe he made it. Idk.

[Soundlmpact]

that car is awesome. nice work with the suspension.

[BlackFireRampsNDecks]

I'm going to make a new version of this that works with steering and stuff!

[Silguprita]

good idea, ma teen ka nii

[tytogonon]

is it a set or did you build it your self

[searme]

The latter.

[robotrobbie99]

Can it turn? anyway good vid. this earns a sub

[19xFLOx97]

cool how many power function set do you have?

[nordmensch]

realy good

[peeprox1991]

I can't help but think that if you did it properly with triangulation of the upper links and a double UJ driveshaft. I've done it before with both 2 link and 3 link live axle suspension systems, but definitely the most effective was using elastic bands as leaf springs. It needed trac bars to locate the axle, but articulation was stunning.

[tacuisi]

very nice... does your WIP kerax model feature a similar axle construction, or is it a more robust truck trial version of the same idea?

[searme]

It is more robust version of the same suspension system. It's pretty stable, but not tested in a real race yet.

[tacuisi]

excellent- i look forward to seeing it :)

[WolneRzartY]

awesome but^^ hmm springs are to soft use yellow springs ^^

5 of course

[bykerboy223]

looks like it would be a nice crawler if it was 4wd

[chamillionaire34man]

instructions plzzzz!!

[searme]

It's all at my website, you just have to find it.

[legoMan104]

is it 4x4???

[searme]

Nope.

[Eugbob]

Does the front supension have a live axle too?

[searme]

No.

[livebionicle]

sweet, do a how 2, and what is the song?

[najproductions37]

that is awsome man!

[transamlover50259]

That would be very easy to add a stabilizer bar to, I'd like to see how it performs with one added!

[axeaxe46]

are u using that on any trail trucks??

[searme]

Not just yet.

[Zblj1987]

I had four of simillar, but much more powerfull axels on my 8x8 trial truck :D

On my green truck the axels are very simillar to yours, but they are PORTAL and steer.

[searme]

Well, I tried to make is as simple as possible. Looks like I need to take a look at your truck :)

[eggsalad774]

aah the sandrail the ultimate in off-road adventure :D lol

[Nave4x4]

nice axle? where do I get a lego diferential? I allways make an axle like a ATV lol that looks like a regular car axle, very nice...

[boringcarcass]

can it stear

[searme]

It can be made to steer.

[Xelmon]

Niiifftttyyyyy :D

[dandj1103]

great idea. just wondering if the axle wants to shift side to side, since you used ball joints. if not, why?  trying to figure it out, maybe i'm retarded. thanks

[searme]

The drive shaft keeps it in the middle.

[quadrazid]

very cool i think :) 4/5

[Mikemc]

Looks neat but when you go over something the entire section is raised up instead of just the independant wheel.

[searme]

That may be a matter of adjusting the shock absorbers' hardness to the weight of the vehicle.

[stoccop]

Too bad that Lego doesn't have many different types of elements for suspension :(

[Eugbob]

how can this be used? is it a better suspension for a lego creation?

[searme]

Yes, it's quite good.

[james2bond]

no way, near the end of the video when you try it with the remote, the torque from the drive shaft causes the entire chassis to jerk to the left. i guess thats what you get when the axle isnt attached to the frame

[searme]

Well, the same thing happens with pendular suspension.

[james2bond]

and thats why cars have indipendant suspension, but still this free floating axle is a good idea

[pio9494]

Cześć

Zrobiłem sobie takie zawieszenie, ale moje nie chodzi tak fajnie :) Twój model jest cięższy niż moja rama (pojazdu z takim zawieszeniem) i dlatego chyba chodzi lepiej, tak lekko.

A, i jak zawsze piękny model, ja tam lubię takie czysto technicowe konstrukcje, i nie wybrzydzam tak jak na lugpol'u :P

[searme]

Dzięki :)
