[MOC] "Ximos" mini race car

[syclone]

Good day.
This used to be one of my prototypes for the e formula competition. But after making the chassis I decided to put a BuWizz in .

Backstory: 
"This is one of the best known racing cars on Xalax , developed by Axos Industries. Stabilized Zirum Crystals' energy is used to power it , obtaining constant and (almost) infinitely lasting power. It has a turbo system to increase the output speed."

Real statistics:
-2x m-motors for drive , with a 3:1 gear ratio
-1x m-motor for return to center steering
-BuWizz

Using (underestimated now) m-motors , it picks up quite high speeds and is a lot of fun to drive around ,even in normal BuWizz mode. 
Here is a LDD model -> download
A quick preview of what to expect whe the full video is finished: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaVM6J2oFvI

I love it, it is soo small and clean.

[TechnicRCRacer]

Amazing!!! It is so small! I wish I could build this, but I have no Buwizz. Would an IR receiver or Sbrick fit inside?

[Marxpek]

I love this design. Nice work!

[mocbuild101]

Nice! I can't figure out how it's possible to make such a small RC car look so good!

[TechnicRCRacer]

Building now! Finally a use for my old crown gears! I am building it in black.

Very stylish little coupe. I bet it just rips with a Buwizz 

[Leonardo da Bricki]

Wow! Incredible racer.  It looks just like Madoca's Type-R. Can't wait to see the finished video.

[TechnicRCRacer]

Exactly my thoughts! It would be cool to see them side by side!

I'm loving the looks of this model so far. Fast, clean build, and simple drivetrain and steering. Have you thought about uploading this to Rebrickable?

yes , if you remove the dishes on the rear there's plenty of space for a Sbrick

I really want a BuWizz now, awesome video!

So small. So fast. So Good.

Great little build.

[TechnicRCRacer]

Built this and it is a ton of fun! I may upload a pic of it in black. The only problems I have are that the front bumper scrapes on the ground, the wires can scrape against the tires and cause a rubber shaving mess, and that one of the plates holding the rear axle and rear motor together keeps popping off. Otherwise great fun!

Great to hear that it is fun  Unfortunately if the ground is uneven the front does scrape; I guess the technic plate is a bit worn off , because mine are still there. I routed my wires this way:

And btw, belly shot:

Beautiful and so small

Built it in black!

Had to use a few black bushes, but otherwise a fun model to build!
