Hello all, this is my latest creation.

Remote controll Volkswagen Golf with lots of features:
- Ackermann steering geometry
- rear wheel differential
- fake boxer engine
- fake (working) steering wheel
- flip front bonnet with locking mechanism under steering
- openable doors with working door handles
- openable trunk

Wery fast in corners (Ackermann steering & differential) and fun to drive/play :)

More info and LDD instructions on Brickshelf folder http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=509347

Have fun building!

Sry for poor video filming/editing ;)

What a realistic-looking Lego Technic VW Golf!      You did a great job with the Lego Digital Designer (LDD) .lxf file.  

  

[daniele]

I like it!!

[apemax]

What a great looking VW Golf. looks like it works really well too. Nice job on the bonnet and doors. Well done.  

[Zblj]

Good work on it! Love the fat tyres! You powered an older diff with a 12 tooth gear?

[tibivi]

Very nice Golf

Not exactly. He used 14z bevel gears, but that does not do anything other than power the fake engine, which is the only reason he can get away with that. It's a very clever little car, I like it.

Thanks guys for comments. I start every project with LDD because of it's simplicity, and in every release its getting better and better ;)

Very nice work!   did you base your MOC on a mk1 Golf GTI?

[rm8]

Looks 100% like golf. Sad that it is rear wheel drive. Sure you can make it front wheel drive at this scale

[Lost_In_Noise]

Fantastic looking car. And it handles so well, you must have out a lot of hours in the LDD an whatnot. Can you make a movie with it driving a cone course of similar, to show off the handling even more?

It is based on regular Golf :)

Hm... front wheel drive requires alot more room and certanly there is no room for FWD differential :p

It makes very good turning radius, and ackermann steering plus differential helps to make turns with allmost no unnecessary friction.
The car is allready dissasembled since i am working on a new project, and i don't have enough parts for two simultanius builds.

Nice body and great features.
But to be honest: the wheels are much too big, so it looks like an extreme-tuned version.
Using smaller wheels would provide a much more realistic "Golf" street car look.

Why not, I made car that is smaller scale than your and it include 4wd




You made very good exterior of golf, I think you should make it 100% authentic.

Very, very nice model. I dig the extras you put in, like the cylinder engine and the door mechanism. Very recogniseable, too.

[grohl]

Easily recognizable. One of my favourite 80's cars.

[rm8]

Very interesting to see model on these tires, even in render

You should try to make it 100% authentic if you have some spare time, that is why i shared my LDD instructions with you.
Like i said i have allready disassembled it for i am working on another project.

That is true, but these tyres give a bit more Lego babyface feel to it ;).
Try using LDD instructions to improve it if you like

:) if next project is golf mk2 -  look at my front drive idea;)

[fourlord]

Finaly made this render, took me 25h to complete  

[Bob Kojima]

WOW i'm a huge VW fan.  i've owned 8 of them so far.  you did a fantastic job on this one.  so many functions cramed into such a small scale.

[Meatman]

This is very well done! Congrats on a great model!

[VFracingteam]

Very great render.
that's a lot of work for that render, but you see the love fore the mark one inn it

[Andyrccar]

Very cool , i like the black hood , feels like carbon fiber

[The Blue Brick]

I love this as I now own a Golf R. IMO, you have nailed the design and exterior of the car perfectly by looking at older models.  

This makes me want to get into Technic, which I only have a couple sets of.
