The Gearbox

I’ve been taking part in about with some sequential gearbox concepts during the last yr attempting to work out the right way to get greater than four gears out of the 42056 fashion gear system, and extra importantly with real looking ratios between the gears.  Finally it was time to construct a automotive round this new gearbox.The key design side was that this all needed to match inside a 1:10 scale mannequin, with the engine not mounted ridiculously excessive.  The answer I got here up with has a variety of gears in it (largely idlers) nevertheless it works properly, and is geared in order that 1st gear does not lock up the rear wheels when the automotive is pushed alongside.  This model of the gearbox has reverse, impartial and 5 ahead gears.

1st-2nd – 1.667 step ratio

2nd-Third – 1.333 step ratio

Third-4th – 1.250 step ratio

4th-Fifth – 1.200 step ratio

The Car

This time I made a decision to not immediately copy any manufacturing automobiles however moderately draw on a spread of design facets from the actual world that enchantment to me, and likewise construct upon concepts from my earlier MOCs.  Ultimately I targeted on clear strains and attaining an finish outcome that I actually like.  The automotive additionally adapts and builds on some concepts offered in different latest MOCs such because the gear shift/selector by Didumos69.

THe automotive options, scissor doorways, opening entrance and rear hood, adjustable spoiler, suspension, steering (together with HOG), and naturally, the gearbox.
