ZENE Posted July 13 Posted July 13 (edited) A creative video of RC modification from @Kenneth Klapper, using high-performance RC components from ZENE Bricks。 Two 3S batteries, Two ZENE motors with 1:4 planetary reducers, Two ZENE metal differentials, and other accessories. Based on the modification of Lego's 42177 Mercedes G500 6x6, it has perfect power and off-road capabilities, can be driven in various terrains, and has extremely high playability. You can see that it is easy to drive on the grass without using high-power. Designer @K4enneth7 video: Lego MOC Brabus G900 Edited July 14 by ZENE Wrong title Quote
Aleh Posted July 13 Posted July 13 It's just a G500 6 x 6. Nothing common with Brabus. And G900 exists only as a XLP edition as far as I know. 3rd party drivetrain looks indeed very powerfull and a tiny mistake with torque will ruin the lego gears I assume. Quote

Exactly, friend, thank you very much for your correction. I have revised the title. I'm sorry I confused this model 19 hours ago, LEGO Train 12 Volts said: Simply incredible! Fantastic torque power!!! Thank you friend, hope you give more comments 16 hours ago, ITSDEEKAY said: Any plans on making one for the G500? We will consider this. Quote

Knott Posted July 14 Posted July 14 (edited) Only reason to name it Brabus was a cool grille that I glued to my car and a number bigger than 500 ;) XLT 900 is the most powerful version available, a fitting title for a Lego car that in current configuration can easily drive faster than any available motors, it's easy to achieve 30 km/h over dirt or grass and theoretical top speed of 72 km/h on hard, flat surfaces Also if I mess up the gearing a little bit it can get it even faster or have more torque, the bearings inside will handle it. My initial plan was to use ZENE 1/16 reduction motors, that would be slowed down to around 18 kmh but x4 the torque, 2,5 Nm. Doors, hood and some parts of the frame remain like in Lego model, but I have modified it so extensively that below the hood nothing resembles the original. My model has actually 3 ZENE differentials, front one is simply hidden behind covers, as I wanted to have perfect protection from rocks and sand. Two rear portal axles with ridiculous travel and 0,5 stud caster with twin servo, twin ball linkage Ackermann front steering, all wheels powered by two motors allow for excellent, durable and fast all terrain platform. I'm nearly done with instructions and anyone interested in it will be able to buy mod parts and assembly instructions for my design on ZENE. I'm also designing reinforced portal axle, as wheels come out quite too often, I hope we can solve this issue together with ZENE, instructions won't come out for sale before I'm done with reinforced portals. As per mad torque, I got it covered now but two months ago it managed to completly twist alu axle with one hard throttle bash, once I found out what caused it to happen had zero accidents like it again Stay tuned, I have more ideas that I want to develop together with ZENE, once I'm finished with my Brabus I will be making 1/8 BMW E36 drift sedan, as requested by my friends Edited July 15 by Knott Quote
