SilenWin Posted April 17, 2017 In the era of dust, sand and rust there is no place for shiny and glossy supercars, decorated with chrome, carbon fiber and aluminum. Only one thing matters - durability. Any large enough scrap of metal that you find in the wasteland can harden your car and give you a few more minutes of life. But some cars, assembled from bits and pieces in garbage pits, still remain a work of art, reminiscent of a past life. I'm glad to present you my new mod of Madoka's Icarus supercar. Driven with 2x buggy-motors, it has minimal chassis changes, except upside-down portal hubs on rear axle. Model utilize about 10 metallic and pearl colors plus some unusual for Technic series, like tan and reddish brown And here is comparison with original model made by @Madoca 1977 You can see full gallery here https://www.flickr.com/gp/137959755@N06/9jcP0Z I'll try to make some video in "desert" for fun, but don't sure about how soon it will happen. Hope you enjoy my mod! I will be glad to hear comments and suggestions about model! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aventador2004 Posted April 17, 2017 That totally looks apocalyptic, The buggy motors also seem like overkill. I like that old panels used with new panels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Depending on the performance, I would be interested in a swap like that! Assuming the tires on the front are not Lego parts? Look forward to seeing the video!

Assuming the tires on the front are not Lego parts? I can make some photos during disassembling the model. Tires on the front axle - Fischertechnik tires, they were discussed at "3rd party tires" theme in this forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
