Cyrix78 Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) I continue my mission to motorize the Creator Expert fleet, have already done a bunch other of them. I always try to make the motorization as inivisible as possible, you should not be able to see any electronics without looking very carefully. As the Porsche is pretty big and heavy I used ad Buwizz and a Large motor geared up 20/12 to give it the power that a Porsche deserves. If you do not need Turbo Power it could also be powered with a cheaper CaDa system. Since the PF servo is so big and bulky, i have used an M motor with a rubberband return to center function instead. Also added 2 pairs of Power Function lights, altough I am not totally happy with the front lights, but this was the best I could come up with. Because I am creating instructions for other to build this, I have not used any rare/expensive bricks and tried to reuse as many bricks as possible in new locations. It only requires about 150 extra bricks and electric parts. If there are interest, I might create Power Functions and/or Powered Up versions later. I have some ideas to hide the IR reciever and there is still space for a slightly larger battery and motor.

caiman0637 Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 It was only a matter of time until someone did this. It looks great, nice driving! Quote
amorti Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) Looks cool! I'm guessing it has a CaDA Pro motor in there? You certainly wouldn't get that kind of speed with a Lego motor and 7.4v CaDA battery! This is the type of project where a Buwizz3 would really make sense. You could use a PU 45303 M-motor as a servo, saving yourself the pain of unreliable PF servos and allowing yourself to build it with <90 degrees of steering input to lock (PF servos tend to try and rip the model apart if you physically block them at <90 degrees), and then also get plenty of power for whatever brand L-motor you use for drive, whether PU (if it fits) or PF.

For the youtube video, I used a Buwizz battery. It will be a bit slower with CaDa but it have a geared up Large motor, so it is till moving at some speed. Can PU 45303 really be used as a servo? I believed that you need PU 88013 to get a motor with angle sensor. Quote
amorti Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Not sure? I only have the powered up bits from 42099. Quote
Cyrix78 Posted April 9, 2021 Author Posted April 9, 2021 I have also made a Power Functions version now. Pretty happy with how well i was able to hide IR reciever Instructions are also updated with Power Functions version Will start to work on a Powered Up version now. Quote
Cyrix78 Posted May 17, 2021 Author Posted May 17, 2021 Have now done a Powered Up version also. Buwizz 3.0 can also be used if you prefer that. Instructions are updated! All electronics are completly hidden, except the steering motor that is slightly visible. Quote
