Nalyd997 Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 I don't normally make WIP threads as I like to keep my projects secret but I felt I should for this. May I present my take on motorising the 8070 Super car. I have tried to keep all original functions + steering and drive. My friend has a love of things going fast so I tried to make it as fast as possible. Here it goes: Since these photos have been taken I have relocated the fake V8 engine to the back to make room for the battery box. This unfortunately means that the rear spoiler doesn't work (but I don't really mind). The bonnet is back on and working and is looking a lot more full. If you have any suggestions please comment and expect more soon! Also if my pictures are too large just tell me and I shall fix them:) Quote
DrJB Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Looks very nice. You're saying you added RC motors yet kept the original workings of the doors/bonnet(hood)/spoilers as well? Quote

Yeah it is a bit of a tight squeeze but I managed it. But I removed the spoiler as I thought it was a bit ugly. Thanks for the kind words! Quote
dsoffers Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Looking good so far, I bought 8070 a few months ago and I'm almost ready to start building it, hoping to eventually upgrade it to RC. So I can't wait to see how this will work out. Quote
Nalyd997 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Posted November 23, 2014 Here is today's build results: The rear end looks a bit better Fake V8 Mounted And battery Box: It is nearly finished, just a few more things to get right. The V8 isn't working at the moment but it is nearly there. Stay tuned Quote
Lakop Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Rear is a bit flat for me but you've packaged the servo, motors and battery pack very well. H Quote
Nalyd997 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) Rear is a bit flat for me but you've packaged the servo, motors and battery pack very well. H Yeah it might only be temporary, we'll see though. This is how sm 01 did it: Lego 8070 modification (pneumatic suspension and rc) Edited November 23, 2014 by Nalyd997 Quote

Nalyd997 Posted December 8, 2014 Author Posted December 8, 2014 How are the Xl's coupled? There is a 16 tooth half bevel gear between them which is attached a 20 toothe gear which is on the differential Quote
