Lox Lego Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) For my final post of this year, I am proud to introduce the Range Rover Evoque with air ride. Thanks to all for the comments and suggestions in my WIP thread to create a better SUV. The car was too black so I added white, it was too low so I raised it a stud and the hood wasn't slanted enough so I re-created the front of the vehicle. I reduced the weight to 6.3 pounds (2850g) This car has 4wd, air ride, torsion bar suspension, 2 XL motors for drive, 2 m motors for lift, V8, servo for steering, gear shifter turns on the lights. The car is finally to a perfect scale. The hard parts of this build was the air ride, torsion bar and having the doors start low at the front and higher at the back. I bought a pair of custom chrome exhaust pipes for this built. flickr: https://flickr.com/photos/139930963@N04/sets/72157676733470861 MOC-Pages: http://moc-pages.com/moc.php/435565 Instructions: https://goo.gl/photos/KLwkEfTt2LzsRMkG8 Inspiration: Inspiration by lachlan cameron, on Flickr Below is the car in comparison to the 42052 helicopter set Air ride Range Rover Evoque by lachlan cameron, on Flickr Back end was super difficult: Air ride Range Rover Evoque by lachlan cameron, on Flickr Everything opens: Air ride Range Rover Evoque by lachlan cameron, on Flickr Front View: Air ride Range Rover Evoque by lachlan cameron, on Flickr I'm ready to take my helicopter to work...

TheMindGarage Posted December 29, 2016 Very nice build! In fact, I'd go as far as saying that it's better looking than the real car (OK, I find the real car rather ugly). Just one problem: Why is there a Porsche badge on the steering wheel ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do believe I will be doing full photo instructions for this vehicle. I will also be making another small video showcasing the functions.

Kmuffin Posted December 30, 2016 It's great. I was expecting some bit change on the front but what matters most is its functions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brunojj1 Posted December 30, 2016 Nice build, thanks for sharing! I like the color scheme and angled body lines very much ! Although this was probably not your biggest challenge so far, you could have implemented some interesting AWD mode in this vehicle. The air ride function is neat though. What are those chromed exhaust pipes - same parts as in your Hennessey? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leonardo da Bricki Posted December 30, 2016 Wow! That is awesome. Great functions, but, IMO, change the XL gearing to knob wheels for 1:1 ratio. It would probably improve the driving capabilities. But overall, this is one of the best models I've seen. Can't wait for the instructions! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Bruno, thanks and yes, it's the same part as the Hennessey and it turns out I bought the only chrome version on bricklink!! 20 hours ago, Leonardo da Bricki said: Wow! That is awesome.

Can't wait for the instructions! Thanks, Regarding the driving capability, it was the Lego IR receivers that were out of range when I was trying to film and drive for the edit. You will see in my next functions video how well it drives Edited December 31, 2016 by Lox Lego Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah, yes. I hate that. Try it with an S-Brick. But if you don't have one, it does help if you try to film on a cloudy day. Or in the shade. I will hopefully buy an S-Brick when (if ever ) I get the funds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I blew up my IR receiver trying to film this edit. I knew it was toast when it started to smell like burning. I had to get my Bro's Sbrick to make this a proper edit! I HAVE to purchase an S-brick. Anyway, I tried to show a variety of driving tests with this 4wd air ride SUV. Enjoy!

Myers Lego Technic Posted January 3, 2017 It would have been nice if your hood could have had the same downward curve of the real one...but overall NICE WORK! It is very recognizable and I lover the front headlights. One thing though, I am just a bit bothered by the lift-arm over the engine- you made such a nice engine you should show it off in its entirety! -Myers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leonardo da Bricki Posted January 3, 2017 You burned out the IR receiver?! What were you doing?! Let us know, so we don't make the same mistake. But cool functions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was too flimsy without it. 22 hours ago, Leonardo da Bricki said: You burned out the IR receiver?! What were you doing?! Let us know, so we don't make the same mistake. But cool functions.

It functions just fine without it. Thanks!
