Anto Posted May 28, 2017 Hi! When I received my BuWizz, I wanted to make a fast RC model. It had to be very light, so a kart was good to make that. The mechanic is very simple. There are just some gears to turn the wheels at a high speed. As you can see, the driving is powered by two L motors and the steering by a servomotor. According to the tyres, this kart is very fast!

Leonardo da Bricki Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) Fast and fun! I like it a lot, the bright green looks great on this model. Edited May 31, 2017 by Leonardo da Bricki spelling error Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jurss Posted May 28, 2017 Tyres are too big for scale, but looks cute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Attika Posted May 28, 2017 Quick lil' monster. I like the geometry of the front too.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
domleg Posted May 28, 2017 Lovely and fast! Tried to recreate the model from the photos but got into difficulties, any chance for an ldd file please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron1 Posted May 28, 2017 Wooha, looks great and runs real fast (saw the video). We are testing the new BuWizz app feature of running 2 or more output channels with one control, which means even more power for models with 2 or more drive motors :-) App will be released soon!

mocbuild101 Posted May 29, 2017 A few things are out of scale... But it still looks great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anto Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the comments! I know that the tyres are too big, but I don't have the #42048's tyres. Furthermore, this kart is very very close to the floor, and actually the chassis touch the floor sometimes. That would be more embarrassing with smaller tyres. And I think these tyres give a good look to the kart. ^^ @Ron1 Cool! More and more power!

MajklSpajkl Posted May 29, 2017 Wow, very well packed, especially the servo. I don't mind slightly bigger tires, they give the cart a bit "chibi" look. Indeed looks like a lot of fun. How damaged are the L motors? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True it looks fat with that motor at the front, but it is simple, fast and functional as we can see. Cool idea to make simple rc vehicle. I never though about making kart as rc model Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I couldn't figure out what was holding the servo motor in that angle (I totally missed the angled beam)... Btw, Is that "3 pins" steering setup common? Never saw it before. Is it responsive/precise enough? Anyway, just wanted to say that love the build and the details! Edited May 30, 2017 by BarakRL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

offroadcreations Posted May 31, 2017 That looks real fun to drive! I especially like the colors. And that steering looks interesting... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand now; something like "Fat and furious" instead of "fast and furious" But front part wit motor for steering looks a bit bulky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leonardo da Bricki Posted May 31, 2017 Only a little bit. Maybe if you used black instead of light bley connectors it would look better, as the eye would then be drawn to the bright green instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anto Posted May 31, 2017 Thanks! @MajklSpajkl Here are the motors after the video : It's not very important because they are working, but it's less beautiful. ^^ 20 hours ago, BarakRL said: Thank you so much for taking the time to make the LDD file! You're welcome, that was nothing! I made this system for the simplicity. It's more precise than a system using gear on a rack, because this system is very direct. (With a gear, the wheels can move a little. They can almost not move at all with this system) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
