[MOC] Yellow race car

[marceriusLV]

My first attempt to build a race car. Shape is OK, maybe front is a little bit ugly :D Built in one evening for Latlug event in Limbaži.

For rear wheel arches I used cut SMC TU 4x2mm hose.

I did not hide battery box because this car was intended to drive around in exposition room. Battery box change is fast :)

Features:

Drive - L motor

Steering - M motor

Return to center steering

I like how rear part of a car turned out.

Kids had fun, they loved to drive around with it. Also to crash... Front is fragile and holds to the chassis only with two pins. I think that explains everything.

Same story about the front axle. Only two pins holds it to the chassis so after a crash usually it was broken too.

Steering system and front axle:

I have short video about it in Flickr

Cheers!

Somehow reminds me of a Porche. Nice build, only thing i can give critic on is the battery box a little pointing out, but for such a compact model its impresive it doesn't stick out more

nice ride!

got a great turning angle. If U would not promote that U find the front ugly I wouldn't had even noticed that, for my eye it seems fine ;)
