Ultimatemau Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Hello Eurobrick, I'm not new to this forum, but this will be my first post. First something about me. I've have been building stuff with Lego's since I was 4. After the age of 12 I started lost the taste for building, but since 2 years it's all back! Now for the RC Mod on the new 42000 model. I actually didn't buy it yet, but I've created the F1 in full black! The functions for the adjustable rear wing and body are not in there anymore. Instead I've included 1 servo motor and 2 large motors for drive. The battery pack is fully enclosed by the body and servo motor is also enclosed by the body (steering wheel still works). I will post the pictures soon since I'm still waiting for 4 black panels from BrickLink! For now Ill just post the half-finished version with some red panels. Note that the tires are from the 8880 supercar instead of the originals from the 42000 (which are 3 mm wider than the 8880 tires). Enjoy! Edited March 23, 2013 by Ultimatemau Quote
fresko Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 It looks awesome (and a whole lot better than the original 42000)! I think the 8880 tyres looks great, and you don't have to replace them by the 42000 tyres. But that is my opinion. Greets, Fresko Quote
timslegos Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 I would agree that the black version looks awesome, way better than the original. DO you have a video on how well it drives? tim Quote
Ultimatemau Posted March 23, 2013 Author Posted March 23, 2013 I will start posting more pictures as soon as I get the rest of the black panels. I'll will also try to make a video showing the drive and steering. Does anyone know a good way to post more pictures because my limit was 100 KB. Quote
Theo van Vroenhoven Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Hi Ultimateau, You could upload your pictures first to Brickshelf, Flickr, or Picasa and then place a link to them in your post. Nice 42000 you have, I am builing one now in all red. I am curious how they compare! Could you make some (photo) instructions on how to motorize it? greetings, Theo Quote

Lakop Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 The black is a good idea. As a formula one fan I know the tyre manufacturers for the F1 teams sometimes run their test car in black with maybe the tyre manufacturers name on. If you could put pirelli's name on both sides it would pass for a test car. http://www.formula1.com/wi/gi/597x478/sxpd/manual/pirelli_75.jpg here's one Quote
drdesignz Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Looks great! I just bought the 42000 this week. I've been thinking about redesigning the body myself. Quote

Features: 2 L motors for drive 1 servo motor for steering working steering wheel Hidden battery pack Damper pistons (I love the Silver Champion F1!) Here are some links some picture: I will try to make a video of the drive and steering. If anyone has good tips for photography of models it would be much appreciated! Quote
imurvai Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Hi, In my 42000 RC mod the axle of the CV-joint very often slips off the bevel gear of the differential. Did you experience such bad behavior? I'm thinking of replacing it with the normal universal joint. Anyway it looks cool in full black :) Quote

smakdatt Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Hi Vassal.. I really want to build one in black like yours but do not have the parts.. Did you use other parts from other sets? If yes could you tell me what set? Thanks. Quote

Please read the Site Guidlines and Posting Tips and Etiquette. About your question; the best way to collect the parts you need, is figure out which ones you are missing and order them at Bricklink.com. Take care Jim Quote
