Matty04 Posted November 3, 2018 Posted November 3, 2018 Hey! I have to say that this is my first lego supercar, as i'm more used to trial trucks and trophy trucks. I worked on this one for about three months and the goal was to get a supercar over 1kg, wich I barely passed. First, some overall pictures of the car. Yea, I know, i've got some pretty bad panel gaps around the rear wheels and the whole back of the car isn't too great but it actually was built for the functions. Moving on to the manual functions the car has: Opening hood revealing the RTC system (locking) Opening butterfly doors Opening engine bay cover (locking) +the whole rear lifting in 2 sections to provide access to the BuWizz (large one is also locking) One huge challenge was to get a curved roof at such a small scale, wich you can see in more detail here: It's also fully suspended, front is independent with MacPherson and rear is pendular. I guess I could've squeezed something independent in the rear too but it was too little space and I was running out of time. Functions powered by BuWizz (wich is located behind the rear axle) Drive with an L motor, working V8 engine Steering with an M motor, working steering wheel Linear 2-speed gearbox integrated in the chassis powered by an M motor Here's a little game: Try to find all the motors in the car. Also, I would like to know what do you think about it. Quote

Being a McLaren fan myself, I must honestly say: it´s horrible! Supposing you being a builder of younger age, capable to anticipate advice, I don´t apologize but rather want to encourage you to spend another 3 months for a proper redesign and then call it McLaren XYZ. Keep going, nobody is perfect, I´m not either, we all started somewhere . 1 hour ago, Matty04 said: the goal was to get a supercar over 1kg, wich I barely passed. Why that?? Try to get as compact as you can. As far as I´m concerned you want to have fun with your BuWizz and drive at max speed. One good example I consider worth studying: http://www.nico71.fr/small-black-motorized-sedan-car/ Edited November 3, 2018 by brunojj1 Quote
