March 4, 20168 yr Absolutely love it! Can't wait for instructions Is it at all feasible to use only 1 SBrick, maybe at the cost of less power for drive? Great video too, I particularly enjoyed the outside and inside views of both cars driving at the same time!
March 4, 20168 yr A joy to look at, learn about, and, I am sure, to play with. It really is quite a feat when your fans can sit and enjoy your models, coffee in hand, like we are reading s good novel or something. Let the stories continue, great job.
March 4, 20168 yr Like others said, a very clean and smooth build. Its also nice to see a fast supercar with a simple and efficient driveline. Too bad you ran out of room for a fake angine and a gearbox, but I guess you cant fit it all. Another well done model! Edited March 4, 20168 yr by Zblj
March 4, 20168 yr Author Thank you for your kind words! The curved line on the door just under the mirror is beautiful. Actually the door design was the beginning of the project. I came up with an idea of connecting a small panel to long one using #3 connector. Then it looked like the supercar door! The lines are great, and the use of the panels in many orientations turned our great. To make the model sturdy, I tried to set at least two connection points per single body panel. It was difficult because most of the panels should have been connected at different angle each other. In front section I used Rubber Axle Connectors which make it possible to adjust connection angles by twisting.
March 4, 20168 yr I don't know what's the best thing of this model: 1. The bodywork and amazing use of panels and connectors 2. The speed achieved with PF elements 3. The possibility to build our own copy thanks to the instructions Impressive as always, Madoca
March 4, 20168 yr To the top of my build list! This and pvd's One:1 are the two best supercar MOCs in my book. Any chance of a "B" model with no PF that has a gearbox and engine? I like my LEGOS more as mechanical exercises than RC toys... Edited March 4, 20168 yr by DFYFZX
March 5, 20168 yr Please don't make instructions... because than I will be forced to get more pieces and build it :-)
March 5, 20168 yr To the top of my build list! This and pvd's One:1 are the two best supercar MOCs in my book Agreed. With one addition: These two plus N. Kuipers Predator. The latter one is easily on par concerning innovation, paneling , features. IMHO a must build for technic and car lovers.
March 5, 20168 yr wow, those lines on the side are just gorgeous. And like others said, it has an nice speed for such a large moc. great job done!
March 5, 20168 yr Actually the door design was the beginning of the project. I came up with an idea of connecting a small panel to long one using #3 connector. Then it looked like the supercar door! Really nice shape! I made a simple replica:
March 5, 20168 yr ... Too bad you ran out of room for a fake angine and a gearbox, but I guess you cant fit it all. Agree with all above about the nicely done MOC (I still have the SUV assembled and displayed). Now, I know many on here like the realism of fake engines, but in a distant future, when all automakers would have switched to electrical power, these parts would look prehistoric ...

March 5, 20168 yr That is a really great looking front end Madoca 1977 and the performance also looks great. May I ask you to explain (since I have not really got into Sbrick yet) why you need two of them on this model. Also does the SBrick allow you to have some proportional control on the PF Servo Motor??
March 6, 20168 yr I´m working with the same kind of power distribution such as 2 batteries and 2 IR receivers or Sbricks for a simple reason – you get more total power for motors. The more motors you are using, the less power is supplied to each of them simultaniously. It seems to me that Sbrick has a higher current limit and provides more energy to multiple devices than IR receivers, even V2. Another big advantage is the infinitely variable speed regulation and proportional control of the servo. I think in Madoca´s car one Sbrick feeds 2 L motors and the other one also 2 L motors + servo. In the video the car doesn´t seem to slow down at all while steering (servo activated). The whole car is a big achievement regarding the low weight and very clever drivetrain resulting in such high speed!
March 6, 20168 yr Absolutely stunning! You really know how to impress :) Do you think it will be possible to switch Sbricks to Lego IR Receivers or is there no place in the model for that? I don't have any Sbricks and don't intend to buy in near future and I really want to build this car.
March 6, 20168 yr Do you think it will be possible to switch Sbricks to Lego IR Receivers or is there no place in the model for that? I think, it is possible to use 2 x IR V2, one for 4 L-motors (2 per chanel) and one for Servo Motor, because 2 L-motors per chanel in 1 IR V2 are used in Crawler 9398. The same config Madoca recommended in his Baja Truck - see https://lh5.googleus...h721-no/003.JPG.
March 6, 20168 yr Now this is what I call engineering at it's best! What a car and what a performance! Wow to everything here!
March 6, 20168 yr You have to use 2 receivers and 2 battery boxes because 4 l motors will trip the protection in a single battery box
March 7, 20168 yr Author Making instructions is now in progress! I'm making instructions of white version including bigger adjustable spoiler. For those who like lower spoiler, I'll add few pictures of it. (Actually I like lower version which looks like Mclaren 650s)
March 7, 20168 yr Very nice! Are you going to add a red parts list to Rebrickable too? I don't mind the instructions being white, but my collection of red parts is much bigger, so a red partslist on Rebrickable would be appreciated
March 7, 20168 yr This is a very fantastic car. In fact, one of the best I've seen in a while. I'll definately build it! Thanks in advance for all the work!
March 7, 20168 yr Author I'll add instructions with parts list to Rebrickable. I built body only using available parts in white and red. If you want to build it in red, you just need to exchange all white parts for red. Of course it is possible to build whole car in black. But a dark car called Icarus sounds to me sinister.
March 7, 20168 yr Can't wait as well. I'll try doing an LDD as soon as instructions are available ... as long as there are no 'illegal' connections (we all know how finicky LDD can be)
