I Built a 4 Wheel Drive Buggy with 3 Differentials! (Gearblocks)

[@kANGaming]

What should we build next in Gearblocks?

[@daddyahhh3976]

just saying but i dont think you did the front diff correctly hence the drifting off to one side

[@kelvinelrick807]

A crawler excavator.

[@_blood_moon_proto_1500]

try a replica of a tamiya wild one or a tamiya thundershot, two classics that should be doable with no real problem, at least of your up for a history dive, i own both irl and they are beasts

[@mani21axe40]

Should make your one car AWD for max acceleration. Sure it changes the driving physics but that's what tuning is for.

[@Lil_Tom351]

You should build a planetary gearbox, or trophy truck.

[@MrLarsgren]

hope you will build a 18 wheeler like a scania cabover with tilting cab and stuff. that would be so cool.

[@trojanninjas6539]

That first center axle is a torque bar, like a sway bar almost. It helps with the suspension

Im loving this game. Im entertained AND learning stuff

[@timehunter9467]

They are literally ball joints, I’ve never referred to them as “ball and socket” when talking about them. That kit is cool, I’m glad it had 3 differentials, pretty much all 4WD cars do because ones without the centre diffs would snap shafts. Planetary gears would be interesting too.

[@-aid4084]

There is a ball, and a socket. It is called a ball joint, it could be repurposed for anything

[@Anti-Smart]

I've heard both ball joint and ball & socket for these joints, so I think it's devolved into preference. If I remember correctly, there are a few differences between the two. Just can't remember the differences.

[@Carsarecool-rm4kf]

lots of rc cars don't use a centre diff for 4wd but some more expensive (i'm talking £500) have them, they tend to be crawlers which I don't have

[@timehunter9467]

@@Carsarecool-rm4kf Yeah, I had an old Tamiya 1:10 Nissan Skyline, just a drive shaft and no centre diff, didn’t need it because they don’t have the strongest grip with the ground anyway.

[@sonorangaming449]

Some use ball joints, some use heim joints.

[@justinpatterson5291]

Now I wanna see if you can make an AWDS (All Wheel Drive & Steering) vehicle.

[@mareksoucek4514]

With how the panels are "sharp bend" I can imagine him building a 234 Puma😂

[@himura-miki]

Neat kit, seems fun to build. Definitely needs some tweaking to improve, but seems good for teaching people as a tutorial.

[@VVENDINGEN]

Geek comment about differentials: Open differentials don't really "send" torque anywhere. The outputs of an ideal open differential will each always output exactly 50% of the torque generated on the input. Which means that if one of the outputs requires almost no torque to spin, the torque produced by the input will also be basically zero. That's why you need a dyno to measure engine output. No resistance = no torque produced. With a broken half shaft, the engine only produces two times the torque that is needed to spin what's left of the broken shaft.

[@DocOctoganapus]

I love that Kan building it backwards not only extremely confused me but also himself but didn’t correct it

[@the.other.ian.]

I would def watch a video where you do a planetary gearbox

[@1STB11TME]

If you were an old school rc guy you would think thats a Tamiya Grasshopper, My first rc car in the 80s, Just bought the game because of your videos too :)

[@Drunken_Hamster]

It's definitely the suspension that doesn't like the high speed. Since everything is perpendicular to roughly 90-degrees, there's no caster in the steering geometry, and as such, no self-centering for it. There might also be issues with bump-steer as well, so look into that, too.

[@HJZ75driver]

‘I like that hairpin’ *YEET

[@creator1246]

The "stub axle" you mentioned is called the intermediate shaft. At least it was for my car.

[@Psycorde]

Destruction model is quite nice

[@chancejohnson7442]

I hope kAN sees this. THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! I have 20 hours in this game and could not get suspension working, and then you delete the connections. there was NOTHING about that ANYWHERE i looked on the internet ... I gave up. I know you didnt mean to and this video is 5 months old when im watching it but I am glad I watch your content...I have raged quit soooo many times.

[@hadrosaur1194]

That design is really cool. Maybe you could try and make it yourself and make something like a rally car or a trophy truck that can actually take jumps

[@186scott]

The 2 shafts on a front wheel drive are called a half shaft

[@Sausketo]

I thought that was only when it comes directly out of the transmission

[@ducewags]

@186scott A "half shaft" is found on rear wheel drive only. Front wheel is a CV shaft system as it's an independent suspension. Solid front axles use a U-joint shaft system like on older 4x4's, where one U-joint is used for turning.

[@ducewags]

@@Sausketo Half shafts are found on rear wheel drives only.

[@keatonfrancisco6763]

Half shafts are synonymous with cv axles

[@ducewags]

@@keatonfrancisco6763 Half shafts are in a solid rear end that move power from the gear and pinon, inside the pumpkin, to the wheel. 2 half shafts, one for the left side and one for the right side, make up one whole axle in a solid axle drive line. Nothing to do with a CV shaft, as it's not the same thing. Nothing "synonymous" about CV's and a solid axle half shafts, parts or how they work, other than seals.

[@RedDead-rl9nf]

15:44 I'm not sure but they might be considered knuckles since they don't allow full rotation like a ball joint

[@trevorcurrie4774]

The buggy can take jumps. So long as you dont smack the ground before you actually take the jump.

[@dasdeutschefinanzamt]

You should really try it with invincibility on because its just so much more fun to drive these things around then

[@PimentoLord]

ok dude ... this is literaly how you build techic lego ... and gives me the same feeling. why is no1 mentioning this XD?

[@staticextasy]

couple gears on one of the differentials weren't setup correctly that's probably why you're getting that pull

[@Eric30om]

I don't know why, but you give me Max Verstappen vibes. I think it's your voice and something that i don't know

[@ShawnF6FHellcat]

I'm so glad you finally did this one, I've been asking for it for a while now! If you go straight in the opposite direction from the starting line, then turn slight right after hitting the dirt, there is a paved highspeed race-loop track. The third differential confused me a lot when I first built this. I don't understand what benefit it provides that the other two don't already give.

[@spikeborn1984]

You need to make an all wheel drive with all wheel steering.

[@yurik1994]

On what you say you broke on your car, it’s just called cv axle. I’ve snapped mine too once, on a railroad crossing. 1 day after 2k mile trip 😂 at least it was back in my hometown not far from a shop i’ve worked at 😂

[@delphicdescant]

Can you adjust the strength of joints/parts so that even when invulnerability is turned off, you don't lose your wheels quite that easily?

[@Fogolol]

can't wait till people start making trains in this game

I love this game

[@HubcapPointOutdoors]

Yes plz do a planetary gear set.... I suggested this way back when you first started playing because all the pieces seem to be there

[@Antonp21654]

Kan the steering joints are called tie rods, ball joints referring the control arm to spindle carrier. in Rc's you are right they are called captured ball joints

[@Josiah100x]

Hey KAN can you build an eton fuller 18 speed transmission in gearblocks in a kenworth k100 cab over semi tractor with tandem axles and diff lockers?

[@checkyourdangengine]

[@d455ave]

Are all 4 tires the same diameter? If not, that could cause weird effects - depending on how the simulation calculates things.

[@thundervallie]

Yes, the spiked wheel only has one size. If you're referring to the car not driving straight, I think that's just the suspension setup and lack of toe on the steering.

[@Tinoworlds11]

The dev should colab with beamng to be able to export the vehicles you make to beamng.

Why would people get mad at you for calling them a ball joint? It is a ball and socket. It's a ball joint. Unless they want you to call them trunnions but that's a slightly different joint.

[@ducewags]

@kelvinelrick807 Lets just call them hip or shoulder sockets. We might also call it a not very strong tie-rod end that holds the weight of a thing, unless it's an upper joint, maybe?

[@kelvinelrick807]

@@ducewags After searching though CAT's, Bobcat's, and Toyota's pars catalogs (those are the brands I'm familiar with) I could not find any "hip socket" or "shoulder socket". However, when searching for "ball joint" a plethora of options appeared. There are such things called "shoulder bolts", "shoulder screw", or "shoulder belt" (referring to the seat belt). In your statement "an upper joint", you are referring to a ball joint. On Toyota 4x4s the upper and lower ball joints are oriented so that the forces are pushing the joint together rather than pulling them apart. Tie rods can end in a ball joint or hiem joint. Though most cases they end in ball joints on independent suspension, unless you're racing then they usually end in a hiem joint. Tie rods keep each set of driver and passenger steering wheels aligned to each other. (some vehicles have front and rear wheel steering) Ending your sentence in a question mark tells me that you do not have sufficient knowledge on what you are talking about. So I recommend you do your own research before you try correcting people with wrong answers.

[@ducewags]

@@kelvinelrick807 Wow, you wrote a book telling you did not get the hip, or shoulder joke? They are in fact ball and socket joints in the human body, just like a ball joint in automotive, that also have a socket for the ball. And have a nice day.

[@kelvinelrick807]

@@ducewags Ah. I do know know about the shoulder and hip joints in the human body. As you can already tell jokes aren't much of my thing. However there are people dumb enough who would actually believe in dumb answers, hence my response. I apologize if I was a bit harsh at the end. Have a nice day too.

It is typically called a ball joint, alternatively, if its steering, its a tie rod end, still a ball joint, people are just asshats. To clarify btw, any joint that uses a ball in a socket is a ball joint. You can be a grammar nazi and insist on calling it a ball and socket or whatever else youd like, but youre just making yourself look foolish
