Hedgie Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Hello all, I am new to this forum and recently got back into Lego Technic. As a kid I had only one Technic model: the 8880. I remember being frustrated for not understanding the gearbox and being unable to create such a marvelous design all by myself. I've finally grown up so now I can do whatever the hell I want! So for my first MOC I build a remote-controlled Donkervoort (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donkervoort) with a 4-speed gearbox. Features: Remote controlled driving and steering 4-speed synchronized manual transmission Return-to-center steering mechanism Clean, modular build Here are the pictures: I hope you like it :-) Quote
jorgeopesi Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Good work, I feel like you years ago with the 8880 gearbox . Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 What a neat MOC! Great building skill! Quote
timslegos Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Welcome to the forum! You certainly have seemed to have mastered the new studless system pretty fast. Very nice! Video? tim Quote
Hedgie Posted March 10, 2012 Author Posted March 10, 2012 Thank you all for your very kind comments. You make me feel very welcome! Here is a video of the Donkervoort's performance on my desk: Quote
DLuders Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 @ Hedgie: Nice car! Could you share your Lego Digital Designer (LDD) .lxf file, using these procedures? Your Donkervoot model looks close to the real thing (in silver below): Quote
Jurgen Krooshoop Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 Welcome to Eurobricks Hedgie ! Your Donkervoort looks very nice Quote

Your Donkervoot model looks close to the real thing (in silver below): Well, unfortunately LDD isn't available for GNU/Linux platforms... I created the 3D model in my first post with MLCAD running under Wine. You can find the source file at http://r2src.com/lego/donkervoort.mpd I also used MLCAD to make building instructions, download them at http://r2src.com/lego/lego_technic_donkervoort.pdf But seriously, where is all the awesome open-source Lego modeling software?
