Posted October 31, 201212 yr Hey Today i will show you my new car. Car is very simple to build and you don't need a lot bricks (250+) and have only 410g (without batteries). Chassis is strong and smal. Car have 1 L motor for drive and 1 servo motor for steering. Car doesn't have really good design, because I try make "simple car" and i'm want to build only chassis. Design is your choice. You can simply remove the battery. !! Instructions !!
October 31, 201212 yr I don't have any of those new motors yet but I do plan on getting some. Its a very simple but good car....
October 31, 201212 yr Author Yeah i know that it contains only new motor and that is bad. ;) Also I have in plan make this car with old motors (Xl, M motor). Drive is not problem because is almost same M motor (M-L). Problem is only steering.
October 31, 201212 yr Author I'm use this "Technic Axle Flexible 11' (32199) from 8069 Backhoe Loader set.
October 31, 201212 yr Yesterday I tested 2x L motors as alternative to 1 XL motor at my middle-scale awd mocs like this http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=72502&hl=9395 or this http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=73762&hl=8081. I built light awd chassis and mount 2L motors. The weight was simulated by two battery boxes (of course with accus) Weight of chassis and moc car about 900-950 g. So I can compare them. 2 L are better than 1 XL. i can say that 2 L's gives 1,5 times better performance. To say the truth, I waited for 2 times better performance:(
October 31, 201212 yr Author Yes that is true, but are you use same ir receiver or one old and one V2?
October 31, 201212 yr Yes that is true, but are you use same ir receiver or one old and one V2? 2L - v2 Xl - v1 There is no difference in performance of XL while using v1 or v2. V1 is enough for 1 XL. I also found that practically. Edited November 1, 201212 yr by rm8
October 31, 201212 yr What sort of performance can you get out of it by using the wheels that came with the Crawler?
November 8, 201212 yr Author You mean wheels and tires or only wheels? Her is better "old school" body for this car: This 9 stud long black brick on door must be red, but.... Edited November 8, 201212 yr by blaz62
November 8, 201212 yr You mean wheels and tires or only wheels? I meant the large tires and rims that came with the 4x4 Crawler set. Considering the speed you're getting out of it already, I would imagine that the larger tires would make it go faster! I like the updated car body; the servo motor sticking out of the hood looks like an air intake!
