[MOC] Deadly Nightshade Video + Instructions

[Boxerlego]

Buggy motors are fast but their not as fast nor have the output as the XL motor's that I upgraded. However, buggy motors certainly have the design advantage over the XL motor for being able to be connected to the drive axle.

Not everyone is willing to mod their XL motors either.

Not everyone is willing to mod their XL motors either.

But not everyone is willing to pay that much for a buggy motor. Everyone has their choice.

I think this has gone a little off topic here, hehe.

I understand this. But at least with the XL motor there in good supply. Its a very tough and challenging mod to do perfectly. I've been redoing one of XL motors mods because the motor alignment wasn't solid and there was some loose movement with the motor that would cause the motor to go out of alignment making a horrible gear noise.

But not everyone is willing to pay that much for a buggy motor. Everyone has their choice.

Especially when one has been used well out in the elements and could possibly be on the verge of breaking as well. 20$ is the max I'm willing to spend for a used buggy motor.

I think this has gone a little off topic here, hehe.

To keep the discussion on topic, I have a question maybe you can answer it. What is the fastest RPM on the buggy motor with the lithium batteries powering it through the RC unit?

[Doc_Brown]

I have no idea, not sure how to even test that.

I do know that after a hour of hard driving the AA batteries still have 1.74v each@!!!!

[Boxerlego]

Rough guess I would say the idealistic RPM is somewhere between 1300-1600 but once on the ground the rpm will drop. Hard to say where that would end up be but It sure does look light so It might no be that much of a drop.

Just finished Deadly Nightshade in red. I'm calling her Ruby. Thank you Doc_Brown for sharing this amazing moc with us. The building process was very interesting and the performance is exceptional. Got done after dark, so I took it out for a night-time ride:) Great buggy in any color, can't wait to see what you come up with next.

[Doc_Brown]

Thank you very much!

I'm very happy that you had a blast building and playing.

I'm looking forward to seeing it in red too, I don't have any 5x11 in red.

Thanks for giving me feedback too, cheers!

You are very welcome! I have recently started building again and am amazed at what people are creating now. After buying several official sets, I began to focus on mocs and started scouring this forum along with rebrickable. Building this moc got me acquainted with Bricklink and has inspired me to join the community and hopefully share my own mocs in the future. I will try to post some pics of my red version tomorrow.
