Mercedes-Benz 300SL custom MOC - Motorized gull-wing doors

[Lox Lego]

Inspired by the classic 300SL.

I started by developing a custom framework with 2 l-motors for drive and a narrower chassis with a nimble turning radius. All of the classic features were motorized with the Lego power functions.

Front end with Benz logo:

Video:

Once the whole car was built, it turns out the gearing was incorrect and because of the weight, the vehicle wouldn't drive.

So I had to tear down the car to the main frame work and rebuild. Now the gearing is reliable and more support was added to the back end.

I tried to create a better looking back end to this car. That was difficult due to all of the batteries, motors etc.

Anyway, here is the revised rear end and video below:

Wow!

Door design is clever, mind if I use? Have not seen before. Will give credit of course!

Well done!

.....but in the real car picture you posted it seems that the doors are standard, not gullwing
