Posted July 6, 20168 yr For this MOC, the difficulty was to insert the electric components but to have a light and good design. The choice of a buggy was chose because the design is quite light, and it is more simple to have a good performance. I have made custom stickers to have a better look. I have made a first buggy 3 years ago. As you can see, the new is more beautiful (and much more performant). Steering is done by a servomotor. Driving is done by 2 L motors. It is better performant than just 1 XL, because 2 L have a better acceleration and more power. And they were easier to place Inside the chasis. The suspension is very efficiency. It is smooth and reactive. At front, there is independent susension. At rear, there is a suspended axle. The chasis is very, very light. The basis is done around just 4 beams. The complete buggy (train's battery box included) weights 495 grams.
July 6, 20168 yr The picture that surprised me was the one without bb and bodywork, Amazing! The first one is cool too
July 6, 20168 yr Very cool and compact build! Really liked how you timed the engine sounds with the camera angels. Did you use a standard full-size GoPro or a smaller Session? I imagine the weight must have affected such a compact car quite a bit.
July 6, 20168 yr Author Thank you ! Did you use a standard full-size GoPro or a smaller Session? I imagine the weight must have affected such a compact car quite a bit. I have a GoPro Hero 3+ (Black edition). The camera has affected the performance a little, but it was not a great problem because I put little wheels on the fixatons of the GoPro (made in Lego). The steering was affected, but the buggy was controllable.
July 6, 20168 yr Awesome buggy! It has great performance for being so small. and the chassis design is cool.
July 6, 20168 yr Looks awesome! You nailed the stickers. I love how you fit it all in one small package.
July 7, 20168 yr I saw this before, and really like it. :thumbup: Like the essence of buggies: for bigger scale just add water (ABS).
July 8, 20168 yr Author Thanks ! JJ2 : I know for the rear axle, it is voluntary. We can find the same thing on real buggies.
