syclone Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Powered by BuWizz V1. Drive: 1x M-motor. Steering: 1x M-motor Video: WIP photos: Spoiler Was rewatching "The irregular at magic high school" , and the futuristic car design there inspired me. I am however going for sort of a mix of Toyota Aygo + Renault Twizy and basically freestyling it as the parts seem to fit. I see it as an EV, but might make it a hybrid to add play features as otherwise it would be bland compared to the fantastic builds currently posted. Right now the suspension is soft enough to compress when one of the wheels is placed on an object above terrain level. The new tyres are out of my access as due to the virus only within country shipping works and 10+ euro for 4 little tires is crazy. I want to make RC version as well later Guess I have been too early when building my RC 1:15 convertible supercar lol Edited April 25, 2020 by syclone added final photos&video Quote
letsbuild Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 I knew you;d be entering this contest! I can't wait to see more Quote
Rudivdk Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 Looks like a nice start, I'm curious to see where and how it will end up. About rear suspension: am I right in assuming it has enormous travel as it currently is? Are you gonna limit the travel somehow? Or is it supposed to be an 'urban EV' that can climb stairs etc Quote
syclone Posted April 4, 2020 Author Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) thanks for comments, @Rudivdk indeed, the travel is large as it almost bottoms out when fully compressed due to how the linkage arm is setup, however I would like it to be an ATV-esque setup car as it even has offroad tires on this version))) made some progress, changed the steering from the weird setup to a normal rack-and-pinion. Added scissor doors and some front work in LDD. made a seat mockup as well, expecting to have two independent "buckets" on front and bench thingy on rear. Currently missing some parts IRL as they're used in something I'll hopefully post soon cya soon Edited April 4, 2020 by syclone Quote
Gray Gear Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) Intresting. I watched that anime once as well, maybe I'll have to rewatch it again as well, as I dont remember there being a vehice like this. In any case, I'll keep an eye on this one ;) Edited April 4, 2020 by Gray Gear Quote

However I'm not sure I should upload it to TC18 as it would fit by dimensions but is definitely not 1/15 scale... Quote
syclone Posted April 20, 2020 Author Posted April 20, 2020 Installed one m-motor for drive with 20:12 gearing and another for steering. All powered by BuWizz V1. The roof and rear mudguard is mock-up. Fun to drive, can pull a wheelie if switching from reverse to forward drive due to hign center of gravity. Probably would do donuts with a V2 Buwizz. Quote
syclone Posted April 25, 2020 Author Posted April 25, 2020 edited first post as well Video: Cya! Quote
Gray Gear Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 Looks like a concept car and a twizzy really loved each other, and this is the result I still like it tho Quote
Rudivdk Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 This came together very well! It looks like the perfect mix between city-EV (body shape) and offroader (ride height, stance). I love how you did the rear lights, those transred bent liftarms are used way too little in MOCs (I have a MOC in WIP which also uses them btw). All in all, great little MOC Quote
