Posted May 10, 201212 yr After the racing car posted several months ago, it was about time to build another vehicle - this time on the other end of the spectrum. This one features independent suspension, variable ride height, 4x4x4 drivetrain, 5-speed gearbox (thanks, Sariel) and lockable differentials. Here's a link for more: http://legoism.blogspot.com/2012/05/red-raccoon.html
May 10, 201212 yr This is great: so many functions pressed together in one highly original model! Great job! PS: Do we get another movie about this model driving in it's natural (the great oudoors) habitat?
May 10, 201212 yr Author PS: Do we get another movie about this model driving in it's natural (the great oudoors) habitat? I'll try. When I took it out, for a moment my IQ fell to minus infinity: I drove it directly into a sandpool (overenthusiastically hoping for some Sahara-style rallying), and some sand got into the mechanics and joints. So it will need thorough cleaning and partial dis-/reassembly before the possible second filming attempt...
May 11, 201212 yr Very nice functions in a compact car. good job! Does it off road well? or is it a in-house offroader
May 11, 201212 yr Author Does it off road well? or is it a in-house offroader On firm off-road with differentials locked and raised chassis, yes, quite acceptably. However it's too heavy for sand, unfortunately it buried itself right in.
May 12, 201212 yr That is very nicely done, did you create custom UI for you're phone controller or is one of the android apps?
May 12, 201212 yr Author That is very nicely done, did you create custom UI for you're phone controller or is one of the android apps? No, nothing custom - just a free Android app from the Play/Market - this one.
May 14, 201212 yr This car is actually really nice. I like the independent adjustable ride height, so smooth!
