Posted July 18, 20177 yr Here is my new model, a manual version of a Porsche 918 Spyder. Ended up taking a little more than a month to build. Some of the bodywork pieces are not the right color, but did not want to have to make a bricklink order. Functions: -1:10 scale -4 wheel HOG steering with working steering wheel -Full independent suspension -Opening doors and hood -Fake V8 engine -Parking brake operated by lever in cabin -Rear spoiler operated by gear on roof -Front axle nose lift operated by other gear on roof Sorry in advance for the red color and lack of a transmission, but I think it turned out better that way. Please comment and let me know what you think/any suggestions! Thanks everyone!
July 19, 20177 yr Excellent! Did you use a clutch gear system for parking brake, like my air pocket car?
July 19, 20177 yr Love it Great functions, and I too am curious about the brake. Also, that is one of the best rear wings ive seen in a while, keep it up and welcome to Eurobricks!

Yes Aventador2004, I had not seen your design before, but it is similar although obviously no transmission in mine:) The drive shaft goes through the driving ring, and the grey 16 tooth gear is locked in place. The driving ring is why there is so much play when the brake is engaged in the video.
July 19, 20177 yr Hi welcome here ;) Great design and clever choices you've made in the functions on that great model. Just one thing : did the steering wheel in cab turn the right way? looking at your video it seems to turn in the wrong way??? I just imagine the guy ridding this beast of 918 horse power who has to think left for going right . Except that this is a really good model.

I just have to move a gear from one side to the other under the dashboard. I did not do it before because in order for everything to fit in the very tight space I must rework quite a bit of the structure on that side of the car. Will be done today probably but I did not really want to wait to get the video done. 6 hours ago, Aventador2004 said: If you don't mind, I will link to here: No worries its fine. Its a practical gearbox that somebody might like to use.
