Pagani Zonda - large scale, high speed

[z3_2drive]

I plan to build something big with four motors. would it be worth buying 3 more buggy motors or two more L motors so I can use this powerhouse:

[Alasdair Ryan]

Yes that is what I meant - adder.

The image should show up soon.....

Like Sariel said It's best to use a adder from each of the motors,I find that the small pf motors heat up easy.

If you want it to go faster I would use buggy motors........

Get buggy motors, they are by far the best most powerful motors. No PF motor comes close.

[Sariel]

Like Sariel said It's best to use a sub tractor from each of the motors,I find that the small pf motors heat up easy.

Except you're mixing up subtractor and adder. Adder is for coupling motors together. Subtractor is for something else entirely: http://sariel.pl/2009/01/subtractor/

true, but EXPENSIVE, 3 buggy motors out of US cost $105... 2 L motors would be less than $40...LEGO NEEDS TO BRING BACK THIS MOTOR

I love the "flex-centric" style of the red body. Great job!

[88high]

SIMPLY AMAZING!!!

I've never heard of ibooks, but it's going to be available as an ebook. Probably for iPad too, unless we get sued by Apple.

Yes sorry ebook is what I meant. I think your safe for now unless of course you MOC an iPhone then you'll be sued!

[Paul Boratko]

Wow..! What an awesome model Sariel...! You just continue to impress more and more with every model that you make... Great job capturing the lines with just the flex axles to keep the weight down and create such a fast model...

[phool]

Love your work Sariel and you photos are certainly wallpaper worthy I like what you did with the wheels as well

[drdesignz]

Which Lego model did those wheels and tires come from? I like them and would like to own a set myself. Also, what is a buggy motor? I'm not familiar with this. Can you tell me the part number, or which model it came from, or perhaps a link to where I may buy one? Thanks much. This is an awesome design, by the way.

[Meatman]

Those wheels are from the 8458 silver champion.

Here is a link to the Wheels & tires.

Here is a link to a buggy motor.

At the bottom left you will see a link to view the item for sale.

Here is the LINK to the tires.

Here is a LINK to the tires without the Technic Racing print from the 8674.

And the Michelin tires from the Williams set.

Thanks for the info and links guys.

[Sariel]

For anyone interested, here is complete high-quality building instruction for the rear half of the chassis, with drive and suspension: http://sariel.pl/down/zondasuspesion.pdf

It's rather easy to add steering to this, and get the front half too.

[DLuders]

Thanks for the 9-page, 17-MB PDF Building Instructions! Your rear chassis is very well designed:

[Alasdair Ryan]

The link is not working for me....

[Sariel]

The link is not working for me....

The link is triple-checked and working fine. You're doing something wrong.

[Alasdair Ryan]

Got it now to work thanks.

Why did you use two blue 1x6 plates though instead of liftarms?

And why did you not use Lpub sub steps to modify the spring on the suspension?

[Sariel]

Why did you use two blue 1x6 plates though instead of liftarms?

They are more common pieces, I think. 1x6 thin liftarms are a bit rarish. Plus, you cut weight a bit using plates.

And why did you not use Lpub sub steps to modify the spring on the suspension?

Too much hassle, I think it's clear enough as it is.

@Sariel

Can you made a complete instruction of the SUPER NICE Zonda?

I Would pay fo the work time

[jorgeopesi]

To have this model if you don´t have all the important pieces can be a nightmare... maybe cost around 300 euros or more... To have the instructions will be a big problem , but a big good one...

Can you made a complete instruction of the SUPER NICE Zonda?

Nope. I gave you complete instruction for one half of the chassis, which you can transform into the other half easily. As for the bodywork and all the rest - I don't intend to deprive you of the pleasure which is using your own creativity instead of just following instructions.
