May 3, 20168 yr Author maybe put an 5L axle between the red pins where the suspensionarm meets the chassis greatings TNLD A 4l axle fits in there, but the whole point of the red pins is to be removable, so you can remove every component.
May 20, 20168 yr Author A video will come when its finished. No sense of do it otherwise. THings are changing constantly right now. The front end needs to be rebuilt again since i have decided to use the pneumatic cylinder struts, Those springs have too much play in them.
May 23, 20168 yr It's taking shape! You redid the front suspension as I see. A very intricating build so far. I'm following this project with great interest.
May 25, 20168 yr Author More pics. I don't have a lot of panels suitable for the exterior of the car. So some colored ones as placeholders will do. WHat color should the car be? I guess it'll be down to pure parts availability.
May 25, 20168 yr Color is minor problem. Black would look nice though. Front part shouldn't be so straight, it should be more rounded. Will it be LPE powered?
May 25, 20168 yr Looks cool) nicjasno, why you are using small turntables as wheel hubs? less wobbly, or for more usable pin holes configuraton?
May 25, 20168 yr Colour side, if you wish to have larger panel availability you have just three options: black, red and white. Maybe yellow too. I would go with red, due to higher part availability and ability show the beautiful shapes, window line of E30.
May 25, 20168 yr First of all: hell yeah! About the color, I would choose for red with black or white racestripes. Or just red, most easy color to build with IMO
May 25, 20168 yr Author Looks cool) nicjasno, why you are using small turntables as wheel hubs? less wobbly, or for more usable pin holes configuraton? Both. Red will be just perfect. The front will get more shape into it. I was just playing around a bit to get a feel for the proportions of the car. The front valance is too parts intensive. Needs less liftarms and more panels. Any suggestions how to better shape the fenders? Edited May 25, 20168 yr by nicjasno
May 25, 20168 yr Author A standard 2 door bodyshell. After i finish it and make the instructions, it'll be up to everyone to make their own version. I will even make a tutorial how to lower it.
May 31, 20168 yr It's starting to look like the real thing. Good job! What propulsion are you going to add?
May 31, 20168 yr Author There's room for a LPEpower i3 and various electric motor configurations. The battery packs are there for a reason. Both to power a servo motor and for the propulsion.
May 31, 20168 yr Would two XL motors be sufficient for such beast? Edited May 31, 20168 yr by tomek9210
May 31, 20168 yr Author It all depends on the gearing, but i reckon even one would be enough to move it. It's not that heavy.
June 1, 20168 yr There's room for a LPEpower i3 and various electric motor configurations. The battery packs are there for a reason. Both to power a servo motor and for the propulsion. I think that the accuracy of mechanics already worth the existence of this MOC, even if it will stand on a shelf without LPE or PF motors.
June 1, 20168 yr I'd rather spend 300€ on this than a certain orange offering from lego and the certain stuttgart go-kart manufacturer.... Probably been asked / answered before: but are the pneumatic cylinders modified with a spring inside ? or pumped up and sealed off?
