MOC: Rock Raiders Ultra Fast Tunnel Speeder

[LegoMathijs]

Last week I've made the Ultra Fast Tunnel Speeder.

The Rock Raiders using this speeder for fast movement trough caves and other places where other flying units can't reach.

The speeder have an basic equipment such as two lights at the front and a radar dish at the backside of the speeder. And extra elements that gain more stability and fast movement.

The chassis of the speeder is a combination of Technic and bricks, which hold together by pins and plates.

I've made this speeder for Rock Raiders II The Block Raiders. A new Rock Raiders game needs a new speeder design I've shared this pictures with the developers of the game so maaybe they can use it as inspiration

and made the pictures in a tipical Rock raiders background.

I hope you like it

Looks like you like using that piece for the driver seat I like this vehicle it sports the color scheme of the Rock Raiders and gives the nostalgic feel to it, Nice job!

[LegoMathijs]

Thanks! I get the idea seeing the round part for the drivers seat and the two black Technic parts which often use in cars.

The original version, I've made for my Space layout:

After building the "Space layout version" I had to made another one in Rock Raiders style

VERY Nice speeder with unorthodox designs in the back. (Also love the name that I'm sure TLG would have given it...)

[LegoMathijs]

Thanks TLG has a Rock Raiders set with he name Tunnel Speeder. I've made an ultra fast version

I love how you used to technic struts to keep the back assembly together! Nice job! Keep it up!

[LegoMathijs]

Thanks! I often use Technic in MOCs like this to make a thin and durable construction/chassis

I've got a bit of a soft spot for the Rock Raiders theme and this looks like it fits in perfectly with the original sets. Very nice MOC!

[LegoMathijs]

Oh, thank you! Looks like your other MOCs keep up the color scheme and overall look just as well. I especially like the Crawler.

Also, I love your Rock Raiders layout! It's great to see this theme getting some attention. I don't see a lot of Rock Raider MOCs. Great work!

Thanks! I often make Rock Raiders MOCs, When I've finished some, I will show it

Very nice job! It still captures the look of the old rock raiders sets.
