[TC12] The Dragomoto

[Technonsense]

Hi,

I present to you: The Dragomoto

The functions are:

- driving (XL motor)

- steering (M motor)

- functions of the dragon (M motor) which is:                           - flapping main wings.             - lifting tail up and down.         - flapping tail fins

All functions are powered via RC. This model is relatively small and compact and contains only 764 pieces. I will send more pictures and updates later.

Hope you enjoy it!

Hi, Technonsense! Welcome to eurobricks! This is really cool, what a great way to enter the forum!

Do you have some work-in-progress photos?

Have you a video?

I like this original project!

Can i suggest getting a better picture, or a flikr / bricksafe account. I do like it though.

Very nice! But like @Aventador2004 said, it would be great if you could post some bigger/better photos. (and maybe a video...)

You can use Bricksafe to store your photos, and then just copy their links into your post.

May seem like nitpicking, but I know other newbees have been confused about this too. Cool model btw!

I finally got the images

The first progress:

Thanks for all your advice!

How can I upload a video?

Youtube. And copy / paste the URL in your post, just like with the images. If you don't want to share the video with the entire world, youtube allows you to make a video 'unlisted' instead of 'public' or 'private'. You will still be able to share the video by means of its URL.

Thanks for spotting that, as it's actually what I meant to say...

Upload them to YouTube. Though you can also put videos on Bricksafe - you just won't be able to embed them like YouTube videos.

Very cool! I was waiting for it to take off .

The dragon has really nice movements! 

I like the idea but maybe try making a second version where the car is smaller :)

But seriously though, that dragon is so well made :D

It will be easier to make the dragon bigger. The car is already full of all the electronics.

I like it as it is, though.

I don't think the whole dragon needs to be bigger, just the wings, as the seem very small at the moment...

I agree with this statement, and you can always edit the entry topic.

My final thoughts:

+ very clean design, very original, the awesome dragon!

- the dragon's wings should have been bigger

Good luck!

[Technonsense]

Thanks!

The problem was that  I needed it's pieces for something else...
