LuxorV Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 As many of you already know, there's this funny contest going on on Reasonably Clever.com. It involves Cave Racers piloted by animals. Since I already wanted to build Cave Racers, and I would not refuse a free Speed Racer set, I decided to try my hand with this theme. Here are my creations: Name : Dark Wings Descriptive text : Inspired to the Batwing, this Racer takes its name from a song by Within Templtation. Gallery Name : Hammer Head Descriptive text : This Racer is very fast and agile. The control system connected to the pilot's fins can replicate all his natural movements. For underwater races only. Gallery Name : Hoover Schyte Descriptive text : Massive and powerful, this Racer is feared on all tracks. Gallery Name : Polar Cave Descriptive text : Who will win the race: the Arctic Racer or the Antarctic Racer? Gallery Name : Rat Race Descriptive text : You don't want to know what happens down there! Gallery (I just uploaded this, so it may take a few hours before it's published) Name : T-Bone Descriptive text : This baby Rex built his Racer with the remains of Daddy's meals - how sweet! Gallery Name : Tutti Frutti Descriptive text : Built before the final change in the rules, this Racer features a "not attached by the legs" monkey... and fruits, too. Gallery Comments are welcome.

Brainbox Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 The Rat Race made me smile. In a strange way, it's kind of cute. I can see clearly the Batwing inspiration in the bat one, and I particularly like the T-Bone. Nice work all round. I assume you're entering all of these? Quote
LuxorV Posted June 17, 2008 Author Posted June 17, 2008 Thanks for the nice comments . The Rat Race made me smile. In a strange way, it's kind of cute. I can see clearly the Batwing inspiration in the bat one, and I particularly like the T-Bone. Nice work all round.I assume you're entering all of these? Yes, I entered all of them. You know, I started building the first, and then I couldn't stop . Btw, Rat Race is probably the most funny thing I ever built [did you notice the thief behind the grill in the basement?].

LuxorV Posted June 20, 2008 Author Posted June 20, 2008 The one with the shark is my favorite. Thanks, and Welcome to EB . You know, I had this fantasy of making a shark-driven shark racer . It took me a while to come with the right shape and commands combination, and to find a new way to connect the pilot without using the stud holes under the shark's belly. I'm quite happy with what I got in the end . LuxorV Quote
