Finished the renderings - the last ones I hope

Yup :///

Oke............but it is pretty annoying to make new renders just for some tires. But, eh, what else do I have to do

Thanks! I am not sure if I can point the tire threads in the same way, because the wheels sub-models are linked.

I had to get the pneumatic cylinder in pieces and the front 6.5L shock absorbers too, because they needed to be a little compressed. Anyway, if you gave me the links, it was a pity to not finish this properly. So, thanks!

For me, looks better than the original set. Keep it up with the good models!

Finished the ”final” renderings - I hope. Thanks @aFrInaTi0n for the digital part files; I needed some motivation to make this.

Thanks anyway; I will try to use them in the renders.

Thanks!

Wasn`t sure if i had to post this on the old thread or to make a new one, but I decided to be safe. Anyway, I recreated Jantayg`s buggy made for the BuWizz 2018 ”Fast car competition”, but, being a recreation not a copy, differs in some manners, such as the way the front frame is attached to the main chassis. This MOC has 1x buggy motor and 1x servo-motor, pneumatic shock absorbers, a good suspension travel and a space more than enough for the battery/ electronics but sticks to around 700g with 1x battery. You can find the digital construction file and the part lists for the other paint-jobs on Rebrickable Thanks to the original creator that accepted this recreation to be made public!

Nice model!, you inspired me to start another project. And with those centered pieces (the ” axle and pin connector perpendicular double”), I could obtain the closest position a Lego car can have for its suspension arms, which, if I manage to do this well until the end and to actually test-build it, it will have a extremely good suspension.

Pretty much finished. I hope to not find another mistakes in the PDF instructions. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-152607/Lixander A./tear-drop-baja-buggy/#details

I mentioned in the first post of this topic that I have some other buggy`s/ truggy`s that have to be test-build. Some of them I consider to let them unfinished, mainly because I figured out better solutions in the newer creations that must be tested and build. One of them is my first truggy, my first detachable body off-roader and my first 4x4 creation; alongside it is a multiple premiere, it uses 4x buggy motors and, of course, a servo for the steering, 4x 6.5L hard shock absorbers has positive caster-angle and detachable body with many color options. Unlike a truggy, being among my first 5 ever creations, it uses a solid axle at the back, which is the main reason that makes me to let it unfinishied. So, taking into consideration the main subject of the topic - my Lego Technic Tamiya Neo Fighter (still 4x4) and the reason to not make it (4x expensive motors that require proper batteries; the model requires a big modification for full independent suspension; it is pretty big) and to make it (it looks good; has pretty much no competitor; has lots of color options), should I test-build the 4x motor truggy?

Test builded it. Everything is fine, just the rear axle can twist too much without putting any shock absorber into action. You can find it here: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-151843/Lixander A./frog-buggy-comet-buggy-v2/#details

Yeah, I understand. Some pieces has sky-rocketing prices. Like the 15L or the 13L liftarm in light-bluish-grey. And if you know that an RC tire fits a Lego rims and you want performance, go for it. I also have a copy of the RC4WD MTZ Baja 1.55” tires for the 43.2D x26mm rims - they are great!

Now I see why a gyroscope is important. Thanks for the information!

The tires are pretty stiff and have a good grip on the rim. The off-road performance is not so great, but better than other Lego tires. They tend to dig, because of the spikes, so you can get pretty easily stuck in the sand.

Well, I don know; I think so, I have to research, but for now, I only want to put normal RC electronics without modifying the motors. Yup, that what I was thinking of. No, it doesn`t have a gyroscope.

There are the spiked ones. Tires: 75.1 x 28 mm Spiky Tread Rim: 43.2mm D. x 26mm Technic Racing Small

That was a must, becuase the rear was lacking detail and was pretty empty too Thanks a lot! The Lego or the Tamiya ones?

Among those 3 buggy`s/ truggy`s that I have to test-build them I just managed to add a 4th one. This one is the first 4x4 with 2 motors. As usual, it packs some buggy motors (2 of them, as I said), a servo, removable body (at least semi-detachable), positive caster-angle and full independent suspension. The weight is just under 900g; pretty decent, considering it is 4x4 and that has a pretty big body and some useless pieces to imitate the electric motor of the real RC buggy. Unfortunately, I think that this will only be available with normal RC batteries, because almost no existing hub for Lego is not fitting.

The ESC is a Hobby Wing Quick Run 60, the battery will be a 3s, the servo is a GeekServo and the remote and receiver are from AliExpress (but they seem ok). The motors that I am keeping an eye on them for putting on the buggy case are ”Krick MAX Power 400” and ”Latrax 370”; I want to go for a brushless, but at least the Latrax is brushed. Anyway, I have to see what I do with the wires and the first configuration first, then after some time, i will search deeper for replacing the motors.

I see. I want to equip my Lego RCs with normal RC electronics. I had gathered almost everything, I just need to modify the wires of the buggy motors. In the future, I want to insert RC motors in the buggy Lego motors; I found out that 350-400 motors can (theoretically) fit the buggy Lego case.

Thanks a lot! Unfortunately, I had to heavily modify the body-work and the chassis. And by the way, I achieved 12km/h with it by using cheap Lego buggy motors and an alternative Lego hub. So this thing can achieve at least 20km/h with BuWizz electronics or even normal RC electronics.

PDF instructions will be made next days. Until then, here are the renders in advance.
