Sheepo's Stable of Technic RC Cars

[DLuders]

Want to make simple Lego cars that can be raced against each other? On his Brickshelf folder http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=361329 , "Sheepo" has posted an impressive collection of Lego Technic RC cars. Using various combination of Medium and XL Power Functions (PF) motors, he has raced these in the HispaLUG competition:

10 photos of "2XL-3" ( http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=387840 ); uses two PF XL motors:

10 photos of "4XL-P14" ( http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=436643 ); uses four PF XL motors:

7 photos of "Kart-P15" ( http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=436644 ); "uses 2XL engines for transmission and M engine for steering, only 490gr weight" :

9 photos of the "RC1-2XL-3" set of cars( http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=369573 ); one car uses one Lego RC motor and the other one uses two PF XL motors:

Interesting creations (especially since I'm working on small RC-cars as well). The return-to-centre mechanism is something I definately must to try. Now what they need is a nice body around them.
