[MOC] Family 7-seater SUV. Because I've got Family🙂

[rm8]

Hello, this is my new old MOC LEGO Technic SUV 8081XL - a deep rework of the LEGO Technic 8081 set for my girls.

 

- Steering system from HOG

- front independent suspension

- rear axle suspension

- rear axle to V6

- doors, hood and trunk open

- saloon for 7 seats

- the middle and 3rd row are foldable

- 1st row armrest with storage compartment

- Plenty of legroom for passengers

- Cup holders)

 

Car was built for my baby girls to play with Belville Dolls, first as improved 8081 set, but imprvement went too far.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reason, I choose non LEGO 1:10 RC wheels are:

 

1) too simple for luxury

 

 

2) Too big for steering

 

3) too small

 

4) Too rare / expensive

 

5) not Mercedes-Benz

 

 

 

 

This are good!

 

 

 

So, saloon ergonomics wins! Because I've got family (Toretto)

 

Thank you

Nice mod!

I like the overall look, especially the rear. Gives me BMW X vibes. Only the front is not for me, looks like a Bionicle mask

Great to see another 8081 MOD. Keep 'em coming! I love the seats, and love that you can get 7 figures in the MOD. Did you make any changes to the drivetrain?
