Kelkschiz Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) This is my Blacktron fast Scouttrax. It is inspired by the 6941 which was one of my favorite sets when I was a kid. It is also the first wheeled vehicle I've build since my 'dark age'. I've been working on this for a long time, abandoning the project several times because I couldn't get it to work as I imagined it. There are still some things I am not quite happy with, so this will not be the final model. I have plenty of ideas on how to improve it. But I think it is far enough along to show it to you guys. I went a little overboard on motors: I really like fast vehicles :). This model is fast enough to get some nice drift action going. It looks really good when doing a fast corner. I should have a video of it up in a couple of weeks. You can find some more images on my Flickr account if you are interested (https://www.flickr.c...157669572889372).

AlphaX Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Looks cool! To me it looks like a vehicle from F-Zero ontop of some wheels i like it. Quote
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) Cool and very powerful with 6 L motors...I assume... ;-) It tend to lean to one side in a turn to left or right, or is that part of the steering system? Edited June 24, 2016 by 2LegoOrNot2Lego... Quote
SevenStuds Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 Oh, the Blacktron days. Its very recognizable indeed. Nice that you paid attention to the sticker on the center, front slope. Love the overload of motors. I assume you're going to show us some of that BTron Drift action? Quote
Kelkschiz Posted June 24, 2016 Author Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) Cool and I assume powerful with its 6 L motors. It tends to lean to one side making a turn, or is that part of the steering system? Thanks :). Yes, the leaning is part of the steering mechanism. The idea behind it is that by leaning into a corner like a motorcycle the crew can more easily deal with inertia when taking a fast corner. I assume you're going to show us some of that BTron Drift action? Absolutely! :) Edited June 24, 2016 by Kelkschiz Quote
