T Lego Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) After a long and difficult builing proces, the project is finally done. The project started in early may, when I created a WIP topic here on EB. In the end, I set the bar a little bit too high as I was not able to get all the desired features inside. Audi S3 quattro Specs: - Dimensions: 44x19x14 studs (L x W x H) - Weight: 1300g - Estimated part count: 1800 parts - 4 PF motors Features: - Opnable doors and bonnet - Ajustable seats (2x HOGs) - All wheel/quattro drive with three differentials (2x PF L motors) - Steering (PF Servo Motor) - 4 Speed sequential gearbox (PF servo motor) - BuWizz 2.0 Power - Complete detailed interior with no mechanics/electrics visible I tried to use as many panels as possible which is IMO essential to get the best looking bodywork. This model consists of 45 technic panels. The stepper mechanism (located underneath the roofspoiler) used for the gear shifting is increadibly simple and works very well. The chassis is very stiff. the car can easily be lifted from the roof without damaging anything. To open the bonnet, you need to tilt and pull it at the same time. The LBG pin/axle connector slides trough the 5L axle with stop when you pull the bonnet. This system was necessary, beceause othewise the bonnet would have interference with the dashboard. Like in most of my other builds, I pay a lot of attention to the interior. I never want mechanisms visible or motors inside. You will find many details in the interior, like a handbrake, steering wheel, gear lever and door handles. When you pull the red part in the center up, the buwizz turns on/off. Too bad that the center dail which is placed upside down though. The seats can be ajsuted forwards and backwards by rotating the tan 20th gear. It is a very simple setup consting of a few gears, a worm screw and a 1x7 technic gearrack on which the seats are mounted. The building proces may be very interesting to read (if you have not seen it yet). Many interisting ideas and suggestions were posted that are not shown in this model. For instance, it should originally feature (air)suspension, but due to the airleaks and absence of differentials, it couldn't take corners propelry enough. Thanks to everyone who helped me with this build! You can check it out here: I wanted to make a video of it today, but my buwizz onstantly cut off power so give me a few more days... I won't make instructions, beceause I am busy working on intructions of another model which I will show this year as well. I hope you like it. Comments, feedback and constructive critisism are as always highly appreciated! Edited July 22, 2019 by T Lego Quote

T Lego Posted July 24, 2019 Author Posted July 24, 2019 Thanks guys! I have some good news: syclone is currently making a LDD file for this car, so it will be possible to build this car in the future. Quote
emielroumen Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 Very nice MOC! Minor comment about the alignment of the u-joints below the differential of the rear axle. Quote

Thanks! Don't you mean front axle? This system was not ideal but since buwizz blocks any other way for the drive shaft to pass, it was the only way to do it. It works fine though. Quote

I was referring to the 2 not aligned u-joints that might cause unnecessary vibration and/or friction in the drive mechanism. Quote
T Lego Posted July 25, 2019 Author Posted July 25, 2019 Hi guys, the video is finally here. Let me know what you think. Quote
LvdH Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 Awesome car! So many functions in such a small space is truly impressive. By the way, is that a LaFerrari in your profile picture? Quote
