[MOC] Dodge Challanger, Steerable & w. Suspension; (Speed chapions scale)

[morphles]

Here is my special version of Dodge Challanger, appearance wise it is decently closely matching the official 76904 lego set. But that was sorta secondary concern, as I was looking at few SC cars I have, and thinking (esp given my older MOC/alt build for Lotus Evija: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-114579/morphles/light-scout/#details) that SC scale is not that small, and should allow for "Fancy technic features" to be implemented. Started thinking, that ether at least suspension or steering should be possible. And it was! :) Then I needed to choose the car where to put it all, and Dodge was obvious choice, as I had official Lego one as reference, and it is quite boxy, to allow fitting everything in. Even managed to add open-able doors (though, they are bit "janky" - in that if you open it a bit too much they fall off, and in general somewhat finicky. But very solid while closed). Generally extremely happy with result, very sturdy and playable, extremely nice to have steerable model at that scale. One thing video does not show - it holds steering angle very well, so if you turn it left then just push it you can drive in circles smoothly. Oh and suspension surprised me (though kinda obvious in retrospect), how sound riding on the floor differs when there is suspension and for regular SC cars that do not have it. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-155972/morphles/steerable-wsuspension-sc-dodge-challanger/#details

Bravo on the obvious / not-obvious HOG steering!

Well there was no other choice realistically :) Well maybe functioning steering wheel sorta would be possible with some limitations (much less stiff/friction in steering mechanism to allow light force to turn), but even then using it would not be viable. Thanks for kind words!
