Posted December 4, 20186 yr Hi again! (No, this is not a contest entry ) I have decided to actually base a model off of a real car that caught my eye in my neighborhood. Here is a photo: The challenge: Four wheel drive, four wheel steering, four-speed automatic transmission (I will figure it out or make a dummy one) and the iconic body shape and windows. Another challenge is the insanely weird proportions of the car (very long and narrow). Here is my progress so far: Driveable and steered axle with suspension. Needs a little strengthening, but otherwise works great! I will add updates soon! -TechnicRCRacer
December 6, 20186 yr Author Thanks! So far, I have improved the suspension structurally, built the basics fo the flat 6 engine, and started on a transmission concept. I think I misplaced my black 7L axle, would come in handy right now...
December 6, 20186 yr Good thing is that it has flat 6 cylinder engine, so you can make it small scale. Bodywork is more suited to LEGO parts that Porsche, so it could be great MOC
February 27, 20196 yr This is a cool project. How big wheels are you gonna use? If you want, I could try to make some custom rims for this project. Edited February 28, 20196 yr by Essge changed size of pic
February 27, 20196 yr Author Hey, that is nice! I haven’t been working on this too much lately besides finishing the chassis and interior, but once I get further along, I could probably use custom rims like these photos: SVX I know it will be a challenge, but it would be cool!
February 28, 20196 yr Author Heh, update time! I have not posted updates for a while because i got 42082 and had other activities I was focusing on. I have decided to scrap the gearbox idea for this project and I have finished the chassis. I ran out of parts for the front axle and hopefully I will order them of BL soon. The 4-wheel steering and drive works fine and I have decided to only make the front two seats of the interior and leave the back empty to fit gears. More to come soon! Photo:
