TmoneyTechnic Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) To be honest this video was supposed to be my video releasing a new version of the RC Car with Sbrick along with some instructions. However, after a request for a build battle by LEGO Technic Mastermind, I have decided to postpone that video, but that will happen sometime in the future. In the meantime, I have made a rear-wheel drive sports car with an opening hood, small-cylinder V8 engine, functional headlights and taillights with PF LEDs, full independent suspension on all four wheels, a steered front axle with toe in (steered by a PF servo), and a four speed manual gearbox driven by 4 PF L-motors. To control all the powered functions, I have used two Sbricks, each connected to their own AAA battery box. I have not much else to say, just enjoy the video and photos below.

Jurss Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 NIce overall design, but wheels look too small for size. For 4 motors this has to be much faster, gear it up. Quote

Thanks, I have to agree with you on the wheels, though the they do look a bit more proportionate in real life. I probably should have used 2 L-motors in retrospect: 4 L-motors coupled together is no better than 2 L-motors for gearing up (due to the differences in weight), the only real advantage is in gearing down for the 4 L-motors. I really do wish it was faster, but 3.5 pounds is no small feat to move, and there are many gears in the drive train. Maybe next time I will make it faster. Thanks for the feedback! :) Quote
