[MOC] RC drift car

[syclone]

Aircraft ain't my thing, dumb ideas are  

Basically rear end was a concept from 2016, rebuilt it in october last year as I wanted to test whether a counterweight placed in the rear of a vehicle would help with "drifting". Of course, this was paired with the best lego motors (2x mythical buggy motors), BuWizz (1.0 )  and not the grippiest floor tiles, producing a very fun experience (donuts, 180° turns, and if lucky, something resembling a drift). The steering department was done with a M-motor RTC-ed by a hockey spring as always. Controlled using the beta BuWizz app, which was a nice experience and luckily suffered a lot less connection issues than the older counterpart. 

Bodywork. Tough department. Looking back at it, could've done a better job on the front, but wanted to try something different to classic bionicle eyes. Was able to place 2 Technic figures inside tho.

The video was thrown together today (3 months after finishing ) so as to finally dissasemble this thing. Any additional pics will be in the same Brickshelf folder.

Looks cool, runs well, no reason to not to give a . As someone who has been experimenting on drift cars, I have to say you harvested the most what is possible in this size with this build. Stickers look good, but the mandatory belly shot doesn't reveal much.

Looks flat at the back, but otherwise, this is excellent!

Looks good, I like the overal look of it, but please specify what is the term "the best lego motors" meaning? Buggy motors? Micromotors?

Thanks, I was more worried about the front tbh  Unfortunately the underside is part of the chassis, couldn't get around it

Thanks, my apologies regarding the motors, should've specified more. (bizarre buggy motors of course )
