today i fixed the problems with the axles not aligning and then i finished designing the gearboxes and honestly it was easer than i though, before starting the project i thought it was going to be a way bigger prolem than it actually was now i only have the steering left and that will be all the cad work done for now i hope to tackle a more challenging project in the future
i added the ball bearings that let the wheels turn and then i started working on the gearbox while fixing some design mistakes along the way, looking for how to get a 3d model of a bevel gear was a problem but that got solved quickly although putting them in place on the assembly was tough but when i went to add the axles that connect to the back wheels i noticed a fatal mistake i made is that i forgot that the wheels have to be on the same height yet i put the front wheels too high up or the back wheels too low down either way its going to be a hassle fixing it i wish i noticed it earlier
i added the spinning axles on the front and made space for the ball bearings since i couldnt find a model for them anywhere and shaped the axle to fing the standart rc car wheels (the yellow ones that are in every beginers kit) and made mounting holes for all the components now all thats left cad-wise is to make the gearbox and the rear axles and then i have to make the schematics and then the programming
today i planned out the whole project and what i want the final product to look like and then a 3d model to place the components and see how the dimensions will fit together as well as picking the components needed for the bare minimum prototype
