My first Post

[joerg73]

Hi all,

i am back in the Lego World after 17 years :)

My first post here is a creation who finished yesterday evening.

It should look like an Lincoln Continental 1964.

While i create it, i modified the front and some other Details.

some specs: l : 55 cm, h: 14 cm, w: 22 cm. 1 SBrick, 1 PF Servo Motor for steering, 1 XL Motor for Acceleration.

front and rear axle full Suspension.

actualy i test some 2 Speed gearboxes for this car. when it i finished i control it with an old micro Motor via my sbrick.

Some more Pictures here https://social.sbric...albums/view/231 and here you can watch a small Video

Welcome back to LEGO! That is a very cool first MOC. Any chance of a video?

Looks really massive! Is it fast?

[joerg73]

Hi Zblj,

The Ratio to the Wheels are this

XL Motor to Drive Shaft 1.667:1

Drive Shaft to Wheels 1:1.4

The Wheels are from the 8870 Set

I tested also the Ratio 3:1 for Motor to Drive Shaft. This i want use with an Gearbox to switch between 1.667:1 and 3:1.

The weight of this MOC are 2.8 KGs

Hi,

and welcome on Eurobricks...

Nice MOC... One small suggestion. How about covering the studs in the interior with tiles? The whole car is so clean, the studs kill this look...

welcome to Eurobricks, great model after 17 years of not building. What are the ratios for the gearbox?

[Boxerlego]

Hello there, welcome to eurobrick's. The Lincoln looks great. Nice work! I'm surprised you used an Sbrick after 17 years of not building. How long have you been building this beauty. Can you show what is under the hood and how the model looks underneath.

[joerg73]

@Pat-Ard,

I know, but I do not have enough tiles for the interior.

on the roof I had to use gray because I ran out of black tiles :)

@Boxerlego,

First i use the IR Remote but one Receiver have only 2 channels and i dont want see it :)

at the Link in Post you find a link to another Gallery with some more Pictures.

I want add a Video an some more Pictures with Details soon.

I built over a month away only a few hours in the week

and looking on ebay for parts.

Ah, OK...

Sorry, for asking, are you from Germany? Do you know the german Lego Forum?

Oh, and do you know Bricklink?

[joerg73]

@Pat-Ard,

why sorry? everything is fine :)

Yes i`m from Germany

I looked at Bricklinks while i searched for Lego.

For the german Forum you mean 1000steine.de ?

[Pat-Ard]

OK :)

No, I meant www.doktor-brick.de, would be nice to see you and your MOCs there, too ;)

Nice moc.

I remember the first time I saw one of these in person. They're huge and the straight lines make them seem even bigger.

You could probably go with even less gearing by directly connecting the XL to the drive shaft and having an overall 1.4:1 ratio.

Thanks Andy,

oop, i made an wrong post here

the right Ratio is 1:1.667 to the drive shaft and 1.4:1 to the wheels ....

I just watched the video.

Nicely done, I barley even noticed the SBrick was even in there.

The Lincoln looks good and for its size you did a good job at motorizing it.
