[MOC] Zenvo concept car

[Jeroen Ottens]

Hi,

Here is my latest MOC. It is a rather quickly thrown together model (one week for the design, another to make a digital version). The main goal was to see whether I could replicate the spoiler of the latest Zenvo supercar. Here is a picture of it:

The car is RC, powered by a BuWizz. It features, drive, steering and braking. When the car steers left the left side of the wing moves upwards and the right side downwards. And when the car brakes the whole wing tilts forward to help braking.

I've used the brakedisks of the Chiron to make the braking system. I havent dared to brake with ludricous mode though, the brakes are supereffective, so I am worried I will churn the CV-joint to dust when braking and driving at the same time.

I also added butterfly doors, just because I've never build them before. It is quite a complicated mechanism with a ball joint and two links, but works like a charm. The doors close really snug, but are also easy to open because one of the links is springloaded. Also the doors have a see through section (stole that from McLaren).

I also made a monocoque frame without a central column. You can see most of it in the belly shot. It is suprisingly stiff and sturdy.

It is a bit curveous for a Zenvo I fear and the front is more Aston Martin-ish and the little winglets next to the rear C-pillars are stolen from the BMW i8.

Sorry for the mediocre quality of the pics. I'll try to shoot a video as well. If someone is interested in making instructions, you can send me a PM.

Comments, critique and feedback is welcome as always.

Leg godt,

That's a yet another great and innovative moc Jeroen, my compliments!. Very ingenoius wing mechanism - I would love to be able to sudy it it better detail. I am very curious about the brakes too! I have many questions about them.

Judging from the pictures, it looks like they are only installed on the rear axle. Is that because of space restrictions? Do they opperate like real disc brakes? Do they operate using rubber parts? Which PF motor powers them? Could you post a picture a picture of the rear axle with the wheels off?

Regarding the bodywork, I am not sold on it immediately. IMO it looks rather messy, but it does have an aggressive stance which characterizes the Zenvo. Looking forward to seeing a video!

It is quite well for a two weeks work, It would take to me more than 3 months to get a decent car... The real car it is so ugly for me that I can not really apreciatte yours, just one question, why the rear wheels are displazed half a stud. I was using the same wheels, they are very good because now we can do narrowers awd cars.
