Posted September 22, 20177 yr This is a MOC. It is built in scale 1:10. Features: Front wheel drive (L motor) Steering (servo motor) 4 speed sequential gearbox (M motor for changing gears) All wheel working drum brakes (1 M motor for front and 1 for rear wheels) Full independent suspension Openable doors, bonet and trunk (which hides the small battery box) Video: Note that the car is very small (only 35 cm long) so it was quite hard to put all these functions inside. Also recognize in the video that I had to use a special solution with mounting of the differential - because of small scale. The normal solution would be too wide.

September 22, 20177 yr That's a very nice Trabant, congrats! The shape is very well done, instantly recognizable :)
September 22, 20177 yr The chassis of this model is super complex! I am amazed at what a great job you have done! Could you provide pics (or instructions) of the chassis?Very cool!
September 23, 20177 yr Wow... Another great model. I cannot believe there is a sequential gearbox in there... How did you fit it in?! Along with the brakes?!

Sorry, I am not going to make the instructions, but here you can download at least the LDD model of the front axle (which I have made before to make my building simplier): https://bricksafe.com/pages/Mr.Smith/front-axle Here you can download the 4 speed sequential gearbox: https://bricksafe.com/pages/Mr.Smith/4-speed-sequential-gearbox I hope it will help you to understand how it works.
September 23, 20177 yr I am impressed by the amount of functions you could fit inside of it while still making it look fantastic. Normally I don't care for car mocs but I think this one stands out a fair bit from the regular race cars that I see all the time. Nice job!
September 23, 20177 yr Very hard car to make with bricks, but you pulled it off! And you even included complex front axle! Well done.

September 23, 20177 yr Wow, looks very good! The front axle is stunning . Did you know you put the front licence plate upside down?

I have probably switched the position of the whole piece with the licence. Everyone makes mistakes:D Edited September 23, 20177 yr by Mr Smith LEGO Models

September 25, 20177 yr Wow......terrific job. Love it when others give a shot at uncommon builds. Looks and functions are spot on. Off to now check out the Pagani....
October 2, 20177 yr This is a really nice Trabant - good job! A view years ago, I had the chance to drive a Trabant. With only 26 HP it was a fun ride.
October 4, 20177 yr Cool. It was very popular in Poland. You can consider combi version with little more space available.
