[WIP] Lamborghini Miura

[JamesJT]

It is RC, using LiPo, Servo, V2 and 2x L motor. So far the doors and clam shells don't open, the lights don't pop up and there is no suspension.

And that all doesn't matter as long as it is so BEAUTYFUL.  Actually it looks better than the real one. I guess there will be a video about a testdrive. (?)

Just seen it on FLICKR. Great car) Incredible flow of panels.

[Matty04]

it's awesome! will u build a version with opening doors, pop-up lights and suspension?

[HorcikDesigns]

Personally, I would improve the wheel arches, but the rest is awesome. I'm really looking forward to see it finished.

AND done at a smaller scale  I really am loving all the projects that are being submitted at a smaller scale.  Fun little trend going on here...

I agree with this as well..... though overall, love the vehicle so far.

Cool build, but which axles do you use on the wheels. Actually they look like a secret agent feature from the italian Q

[Aventador2004]

Awsome miura, it evokes memories of the miura's beautiful shape. Would love to be able to look at on my desk.

[Samolot]

Great clean design

Keep working

[syclone]

Not a fan of the wheelarches, but the rest is beautiful , the blue color suits it really well. Hoping to see progress soon!

[AFOLegofan66]

cool looking car...great job!!

[DugaldIC]

The shape is excellent! I can't wait to see the finished product 

[Meatman]

Looks great! Agree about the wheel arches though.

Yes but no crashes, with just L motors it is not very fast.

I can already see away to do opening clam shells and doors. The bonnet is too low for lego shocks but there would be room for a torsion bar set up. Not sure about the lights yet.

Which part of the wheel arches need improving? The angles or maybe less space around the wheels?

Here's where I am now.

[HorcikDesigns]

In my opinion, wheel arches should be more curvy than they're right now. Maybe flex-axle would fix it ;)

[Alex Ilea]

This a one awsome looking car ! A buggy motored verion would be nice :) The only thing that i don't like are the roof pillats (they are black) i think some blue connectors will work ;)

[Matty04]

i might have a suggestion for the lights... have the wheel arch, the light and a 3L beam, right?

move the 3L beam 1 stud closer to the wheel arch and only connect it to the blue piece (6538) via a 3L connector so it is mobile. move the Light closer to the interior of the car with one stud.and make sure you can turn a little the blue 5x2 panels in the front so they can hide the lights under them. hope you understood, right?

None. I would keep the panels as they are. You caught the shape of Miura brilliantly for this size.

Keep it. Listen to your original "instinct", not to the internet!

Looks amazing! I saw the first picture on my email digest and immediately knew it was a Miura before even looking at the title! That's the mark of a great MOC.

[JamesJT]

I moved the lights just half a stud in and made room for pop up lights...

...then I saw how much the lights on the real car move and I wish I hadn't bothered.

 

[JamesJT]

All done.

I had to remove one of the motors to make room for the receiver. I'm going to have to buy a BuWizz.

Perfect. You've done an excellent job on this scale. I want one 

[HorcikDesigns]

Masterpiece. 

[braker23]

Oh, I just love it! It's built perfectly at this scale and it's motorized, plus we get free instructions, you rock ;)

[DugaldIC]

Very well done! I love the shape and it seems to drive so well, I guess it's not a very big car
