Lego Racing Truck Turbo

[Bonald1101]

I have the new 3 wide differential, but whenever I hook a motor up to it, all I get is grinding gears. Is there a way more compact than the ones on your brickshelf folder to build a stronger mounting?

[searme]

@Bonald1101 Use the 7x5 open liftarm frame. The part ID is 64179.

[Bonald1101]

@searme Unfortunately I have neither the piece, nor the money to acquire it. Thanks for your help, though.

YOUR THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheRock387]

Wow... That's pretty cool... And I thought I was the Lego master... Where did you get the motors from? And is there anyone on YouTube or in real life that is better than you with legos? ( that you know of )

[searme]

Sure there are some people, check my friends, especially jenniferclark.

[corotor12345]

@TheRock387

Yes, not to diss searme but check out people like nicjasno and ivanidic.

[Arbiter101097]

does the truck have pendular suspension, i coudnt tell from the pics

[searme]

Nope. There is a technical description at my website.

[Arbiter101097]

can you please make a tutorial on how to have suspension and steering

[searme]

Photos show everything.

[crazypuma164]

If you use 2 pf xl motors to drive it with only one battery box how do u steer while driving because a battery box only holds 2 xl motor at a time ??

[searme]

Have you tried using better batteries perhaps?

[crazypuma164]

Well i use duracel r they good enough?

[searme]

No idea, never used them. I've used rechargeable GP batteries and I've never had any problems with a single bbox powering more than two XLs.

[moviedarkrai]

Can anyone tell me the name of this song?

And well done Sariel. If only i could be like you :)

[brickonestudios]

whered you get the lights?

[searme]

Some new Lego sets have these.

[Lionspirit08]

so is this your fastest 1 or the 1 u showed in with steering that chasis 1

[searme]

This is slower than the chassis alone, because of the weight.

[najproductions37]

super nice. man can you make a vid on how to make it. it is so cool!!!!!!

[skl1cent]

dam nice rig

[mp3KING13]

where did you get the instructions 4 this model ?????????????

[searme]

I designed it. There are no instructions.

[bug128]

preety fast to you very nice

i like you peoples

[masterfruitcake1]

Brilliant!!! most respect man. YOU are the Lego genius!!! well done.

[azerrlight]

which is your most favoured motor the xl or m?

for use in your models which ones do you use more and how many of each?

[searme]

I use M motor more, because it's much smaller and still performs well. XL motor is for extremely heavy duty.

[ZtomzukiZ]

Its not so fast than one of the earliers racing truck but it look better.What lego motor did you use to drive that vechile?

[searme]

Two PF XLs.

[Eugbob]

is this your fastest racing truck or were the earlier racing trucks faster? how many motors are on the drive?

[searme]

Two. I think one of the earlier ones was faster.

[darek4488]

Have you ever thought about making V8 (or smaller) engine from LEGO penumatics to power you cars

[searme]

I have. But pneumatic engines are relatively large and unreliable (no fixed output speed), and somewhat inconvenient. Most of my vehicles use several motors, to power more functions than just the drive - so it's more convenient to add one more electric motor, than to have a number of electric motors and a single pneumatic one.

[darek4488]

but you can control how much air goes to an engine using selfmade controller. I mean that you can crumple a hose with different force.

[warriorider303]

awsome truck and i love the spedometer lol, but i am waiting to see another trial truck lol? i see ur biulding a unimog (if i remmeber correctly) in your future projects part of your site, nice

[james2bond]

you should do the return to center steering system like they do on real cars by ajusting the camber

[searme]

On real cars they use power steering, with hydraulics and parts like e.g. rotary valves. Lego doesn't produce hydraulics.

[james2bond]

the power steering system doesn't auto align the wheels where the hell did u get that idea

[james2bond]

its caster that re aligns the wheels not camber sorry

[searme]

Some power steering systems do align the wheels, I think Citroen was one of the first to develop these into serial cars. Nowadays, most systems are capable of it, and many do that accordingly to the car's speed.

[james2bond]

ok well if u cant use hydraulics why not just use caster.

[searme]

Because it's very troublesome to do with Lego bricks.

[james2bond]

it wouldn't be that bad, just mount a regular rack and pinion system on two of those kinda L shaped technic pieces and there you have it. its at a 45 degree angle. you should give it a try it might turn out better.

[drgrit]

amazing.

[studentesso]

I love your constructions!

[searme]

Thank you, sir.

yay first one to veiw the video
