Posted November 5, 20168 yr Good Day ! Finally got to dissasemble my 8649 and wanted to use all the beautiful lime parts for something. While searching for inspiration, I found this video about how canopies could save lives in F1 racing. After that the decision was done , I must make an open-wheel racer with canopy. Horrible driving because for not overloading the receiver I connected an m-motor with worm drive to a 9v switch , which controls the Buggy Motor (what else can be used in a race car) . The system works well apart from the fact that braking is very difficult due to slow feedback. I definetly will get a 3rd party bluetooth receiver soon, because I love using the buggy motor in my mocs. In the exterior design part , a book about F1 came very handy. I fell in love with the old panels while building this car, they are so cool For the power source, I used a 2000mah 9v battery with my custom adapter. As for the functions , I got : Working steering wheel Openable canopy Working front lights Sorry for bad quality photos , my "studio" is too small for this car and the ones that I took outside were really bad.

November 5, 20168 yr Very futuristic design, well aside from the suspension which is very 70s of f1, that really is quite the colour to be working with too! Oh how I need to get my hands on one of those buggy motors, or two haha. How do you like using the 9v battery adapter? Does it last long and power the motors properly?

The adapter works perfectly , the weak part is the receiver, the buggy motor overloads it.
November 5, 20168 yr So if you use an s brick would it be better? I'm curious about the buwizz that's coming out, seems like a good idea to me
