a quick suggestion for a more compact design, maybe line the flywheel up next to the gear box? would make the chasis a bit wider but would be shorter... or possibly rotate the flywheel 90 degrees? i really like this design. i may try building one for a remote control car :D
It looks like not much force is needed to shift gears, in which case you would have a problem when the thing is actually moving as opposed to being stationary on a treadmill. What is to stop it from automatically shifting due to the mechanism's inertia, when the car accelerates? Or if the power source is to be mounted at the front, will the 'flywheel' mechanism produce enough force to overcome the inertia of the shaft used to shift gears?
patent this design and sell it to lego and make mass production of the lego automatic transmission or something like that or make a better version on a scale sized car or something. Maybe you already have =P
@AviatorBJP A man that's awesome. How did you get it to shift on its own? I am currently building a baking soda/ vinegar powered engine and want both a manual and automatic transmission for it.
this is. wow :D

I feel this hard to figure out how it works. Though you gave me inspiration for a similar idea........just need the parts...

nice awesome, using the centrifugal force like a real auto transmission, never w[would of though of doing it on a lego car in a million years

Take a remote control car apart and attach the motors to it!
pendejadafcc 1 year ago
@pendejadafcc why take a rc car apart? there are many motors from lego which can do this job very good!

@Hikar75 For the wireless control.
pendejadafcc 1 year ago
@pendejadafcc there are a remote control and a receiver from lego which are connectable to the lego motors. i think this would work better!

Does it shift on its own??

@SuperMustangDude
Yep, it shifts automatically and incorperates a manual overide as well.
