A thread for Technic models released in 1999
I am currently working all 6 (yes 6) variations of the model

The base model for Gull Wing and Convertible is done. This model would have been far more of a pain were it not for LDCad part snapping and flex objects.

8448 - Super Street Sensation - Convertible
OMR Compliant
Missing: Stickers
Notes:
- The double compound u-joint in the steering link needs work.
- The flexible elements make the model file very large (20 MB) so it is zipped.
I did this animation a couple of years ago. Unfortunately I can't remember the credentials for my old YT account.
Model was done in MLCad. All angles were calculated by hand or by using AutoCad.

Stupid question: Which is the main model?

The convertible. I’m posting in the order they appear in the BIs. Racer’s almost done and there are 2 more after that. I also plan on posting a convertible top down and wing doors down versions

One more alternate model to do: Buggy. This really didn't take as long as I thought it would. Example: I did the Hot Rod over the course of a few hours yesterday. The modularity of this set and the features of LDCad has made the process way easier than it used to be.

Very nice indeed! But you should embed unofficial parts: I'm missing ldcFlexAxleCap...

Ugh. I thought I fixed that problem. I'll update tonight.

Should be fixed now. File updated.

Maybe a cache issue, but it seems that there is no ldcFlexAxleCap.dat embedded Sad

I just downloaded the model onto my work computer and checked. The path caps are inlined in the flex part so there must be some aggressive caching going on with your browser. There might also be an issue with LDCad not finding the file since the META references it. I'll attach it to this post.
The buggy is giving me fits. I might take a break and work on something else for a bit.

My bad (to some extent...): only LDCad complains about missing ldcFlexAxleCap. But if you embed it along with all unofficial files, it solves all issues (in LDCad, file -> cleanup -> check "embed unofficial parts")

This donor part will be part of the next LDCad release so I think I'll just leave it out. I don't want to make it OMR conformed.
