WIP RC sports car

[Zerobricks]

So i decided to slap 4 Xl motors on a chassis with a 2 speed gearbox and RC unit to power it all. This is the result i got:

Suspension is very compact and stiff:

The finished chassis:

Amazingly all gears hold. The low gear has a ratio of 1,2 :1 and high one 3,6:1. This makes car quite fast. I am thinking of making a yellow body, but aint sure yet if i have enough parts.

Blending the Lego RC unit with Power Functions motors seems to be the best of both worlds. One can operate the MOC outside in bright sunlight (without interference from the sun's infrared rays), and drive it further than 10 meters (33 feet) away from the transmitter. I like the "Technic Power" tires!

Really interested in this as I tried to do something like this with my robot but found the RC unit lacking in power with just 2 XL motors? + stering

Any issues?

Sadly, i disassembled the car for parts and later better rebuilt. There were no issues that i know off, cause XL motors eat less power than XL's.

Did you mean RC? Are you saving XL use less power than RC?

Like i said, i already took it apart, but will rebuild it in a near future.
