Permo Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Hello, It has been a while due to being too occupied on the job (landed a new engineering project) to build anything substantial, but this christmas I started another MOC concept "A Muscle Car" as I am not shure what it is going to end up like. The first finnished stage is the Supercharged V8 engine, it will be front mouted between the wheels, I allready have a concept chassis going on and it fits nicely and I did not have to compromise the steering angle and pneumatic suspension system. The engine is mounted in a way that will make it quite easy to swap for a replacement engine and will run on it's own, not mounted to the drivetrain which will consist of two pairs of hard coupled L motors driving the rear wheels only... enjoy; Next stage, chassis...

mocbuild101 Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Looks like it's going to be a Porsche... Quote
Permo Posted January 6, 2019 Author Posted January 6, 2019 Lol,... yeah, not shure about the stickers as the engine design is based on a old school supercharged hemi V8 big block with nitro injection, Porsche don't make those But they give a nice detail to the cillinderheads... I think they will go at some point... At first I was disappointed the main fan has no axle + connection but a round hole instead, but it runs just fine and the cool thing is, when the engine stops the fan keeps on running for a bit, just like the real thing. Also the supercharger is mounted quite loosely on purpose so it shakes and rattles a bit when the engine is running. Back to the chassis now... Quote
MangaNOID Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 this looks really interesting and strange in details!. I think a few more photos would be great, to show some of your building/chassis etc. Quote
nahpets Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 this reminds me of a ratrod style car - would love some more pictures Quote
Permo Posted October 2, 2019 Author Posted October 2, 2019 I just got a new camera (Fuji XF10) and loving it.... So I will.... I'm not really happy with the looks of the back and roofline... performance wise it's doing great, solid rear axle with 4 L motors on V2 receivers fed by a 11.1V Lipo,.... it's fast. Suspension is very smooth and bouncy, steering is pretty sharp. I've been driving it in a parking garage as my livingroom is simply too small for this thing. So it's actually still a WIP, and I'll love some input on the design of this thing... Quote
Gray Gear Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Okay... Cool engine, and very...different body styling. I myself miss a nice pair of eyes in front, so please add some proper headlights. Futuristic or oldscool headlights, both would probably fit well Quote
Aliencat Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 I'd love to see a video of this thing running :D Quote
1gor Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Honestly it looks like vehicle for Mad Max movie Quote
Permo Posted October 3, 2019 Author Posted October 3, 2019 For those who wanted to see some more pictures... And it does have headlights, made from transparant black bricks, so they "disappear" when not in use, I will have to solder some LED's for this as using Lego lights will introduce too much wiring and bulky connectors to make a fit (and they are overly expensive and too blue for my taste) So there it is; Quote
Gray Gear Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Wow, I take it back, these Headlights look pretty good, but I did not even notice them. But when they are on they look very mean, NICE Quote
Teo LEGO Technic Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 Very different, I love the engine above all! Quote
