Hello,

Last summer, I build some MOC's that I haven't posted here yet, due to school.

Well, here is one of them: The dodge challenger 1970!

http://farm6.staticf...83caab960_z.jpg

This scale model of the Dodge has following features:

• Remote controlled
  
• independent suspended
  
• Lights (2 pairs in front, 1 in the back) with switch hidden under the rear
  
• Rc motor for drive
  
• medium motor and hockey spring for RTC steering
  

All pics can be found in my flickr set:

Hope you like it!

Best regards,

Nice! I like the body but I would center the rear suspension a bit, by the way, did you get the rear suspension idea from my rally car?

Would like to see how you made the front axle too, I like the negative camber

Yes, it was inspired by that, the arms at least

And no, it doesn't drift as it is a bit front heavy with the brickbuilt hood.

I am working on an ldd file of this, although there are some pieces like the rc motor that aren't there.

@z3-2drive, what exactly do you mean by centering?

I mean make the rear suspension sit flat rather than be angled outwards-this can be done by adjusting the placement of the shocks or making them softer

It looks nice, in real (on BrickMania Antwerp) it looks even better.

Especially the back lights, as seen here, looks very finished:

Maybe you could upload a vid showing the speed of this MOC? I think the RC motor make it really fast.

Did you use the V2 receiver or the V1?

Only remark: I think you could give a better final touch to the front side panels. The 2 x 4 plate doesn't look very fluence, while the rest of the body does.

You could try to leave the orange direction light and just attach a 2 x 4 yellow tile.

+1 what z3_2drive said

(Hope you don't mind I deeplinked some photo's )

I'll take another look on the suspensions, but for the front side panels; the orange direction lights had to be there, as they are on the original model, and I tried to cover those studs with tiles but it didn't look good that way.

I did use the V2 receiver, but this car was primary made for the looks, so it doesn't drive as fast as some of my other mocs.

thanks for your feedbacks guys,

Tibivi

Hey, sorry for the double post, but I thought it wasn't necessary to open a new topic for this major update.

I have fully reworked the car, it has a new front axle with advanced geometry and better working suspension.

The body has now the iconic decals of the R/T version and I changed the colour of the grille and wheels.

I made the drivetrain simpler so it drives well (the RC buggy motor doesn't stall anymore).

Here is the Flickr photo album

Hope you like it :p
