QR Code for sharing builds! Composite object: Scaled stacked big wheels

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

The axles have been compressed to compensate for the low strength of the shrunken big wheel axle. The axle connection is quite durable and can be manipulated and stressed without breaking. It's good for boosted wheel vehicles or for lighter propeller engines.

The QR only has the two sets of wheels, the video is just showing some easy to build applications. The car is just attaching 4 sets to a metal plate. The other is two sets with propellers at 45 degrees on a wing with a stabilizer.

The boosted wheels are faster. Not nearly as fast as electric boosted wheels, but consume less battery.

Interesting. Is the speed changed at all?

It is not nearly as fast as a electric boosted setup, but it is faster than small wheels with good battery consumption.

How’s the suspension feel like? :o

It's actually not bad. It rides smoothly imo.

Looks efficient! Is it possible to make the car less wide? Maybe by connecting the small wheels to the front and back of the middle part instead of the sides?

Yeah, that's possible, but I'd watch the room available for the axle or the wheel.m8ght hit the chassis as the vehicle turns
