vmln8r Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 Power Puller with remote-controlled drive and steering. Two V8 engines power the rear wheels and pull a sledge, which is hidden by all the tyre smoke. It only uses parts from Technic sets. Click here for two more pictures. Quote
grindinggears Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 Looks like a lot of fun! Can it do a wheelie? And would you please make a video of that thing in motion? Quote

P4trickvH Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Awesome, i really like the first action picture. Love to see it in action *hint* ;) Quote
Jurgen Krooshoop Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Looks light & fast. How fast does it go ? Quote
Burf2000 Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 You want to get a pair of the old power puller wheels, they rule! Quote
mostlytechnic Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 I love how you kept the flavor of the Lego Power Puller set (my review of that set here, like the battery box on the sled, the technic figure, the soft axles around the wheels, and of course, the yellow. Quote
vmln8r Posted July 20, 2011 Author Posted July 20, 2011 Thanks everyone Looks like a lot of fun! Can it do a wheelie? And would you please make a video of that thing in motion? It can't do a wheelie as most of the weight is smack bang in the middle of the chassis. I haven't planned on making a video - they take forever to make and there are many other things I'd like to build first. Looks light & fast. How fast does it go ? Although it's fairly light, it's kind of like a classic muscle car to drive - quite fast in a straight line (about 7 kph on a treadmill) but hates corners. I love how you kept the flavor of the Lego Power Puller set (my review of that set here, like the battery box on the sled, the technic figure, the soft axles around the wheels, and of course, the yellow. Thank you! Your excellent review was the inspiration to build this. Quote

Zerobricks Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Wow I wonder what those turbines look like! Quote
