If you want to know that, I think that the 8366 supersonic rc is hevier than th buggy,

Or have I misunderstand your question?

Just put mine on the scales - 789 grams, with 6 x Alkaline AA Batteries

I'm sure the RC Unit + Motors could take a lot more weight

Go have a look at some Sariel's creations... I'm sure he's built quite a few vehicles heavier than that, using the RC unit

yeah! i'd like to know wich one is the maximum weight (according to lego) that rc motors can tolerate :P

i'm trying to build something fast but nice too see as well :laugh:

just for some hype: i've built a new suspension type with a short travel wich i think you will like very much

Is it some sort of racecar/track car? One thing I eventually want to build this summer is either a 'stanced car' (slight negative camber) with RWD, maybe a honda s2000, or the Caterham SP300R: Caterham-1_2247210b.jpg

i was thinking about not revealing anything but how can i say "no"? :grin:

the chassis is not going to be orange anyway lol

and obviusly it's gonna have 4 wheels lol....this is just a picture of the front axle

i've tried to make the macpherson suspension and i can say that i did it :P

the springs i used are custom but they have the same dimensions of the lego ones...i just didnt want to dismount them :P

but i'll explain everything in the car's topic once released :tongue:

yeah :)...it's gonna have also a differential lock activable by hand so it gets easier drifting

it's powered by two rc motors

the nice thing about the macpherson structure is that the car turns really nicely

How did you get the angle for the spring? Post a pic without wheels, please!

I'm very interested to see how you solved that.

Time to reverse engineer! I'll post quick pics of my simple body for the mini rally car so I can get at that motor :classic:

EDIT: Is this right?

yes sir :)

probably it's better if you use the 5.5 stud axle to connect the weel

so the axle can fill the rim and you can keep the disc :)

it's something that i made to the other wheel :tongue:

One thing I don't like is that the hub can still wiggle so that the tire touches the spring, but this doesnt happen on its own at least. I like it! I built the whole axle and will upload a pic to verify that I did the steering rack right :wink:

no it doesnt...at least in the way i mounted it :P or at least till you dont put it on the ground...then it works fine :P

Aren't all of the wrc competitors all wheel drive?

yeah but it's gonna have a wrc look but it's a famous car :P

and it's famous for its tricks and drifts eheh

try to guess what car it is

oh i see what you've done wrong!

the ball joint that connects to the wishbone has to be in the other direction!

the smooth part has to face the disc :)
