Hi Everyone.

It's time to show You my first in this year MOC, a american muscle car with adjustable suspension.

Technical data:

-Lenght: 54cm

-Width: 22cm

-Height: 17cm

-Weight: 2950g

-2 XL motors for drive

-ServoMotor for wheels steering

-2 M motors for lifting/lowering front axle

-1 L motor for lifting/lowering rear axle

Suspension:

Principle of operation is similar like in 8297 set that means the upper handle of shockabsorber is moving up/down pulling a swingarms which causes the body lowering. 

Front and rear suspension are independent. For propel a front mechanism serve a 2 M motors with 1:66 ratio, for propel a rear axle serve a L motor with ratio 1:40.

The diffrence between upper and lower body is really huge.

Model is driven by 2 XL motors with 1.19:1 ratio, making the model driving nice.

A design of my car is a mix of the most popular muscle cars like a Mustang, Camaro or Challenger. 

I'm generally happy with the look but the C pillars are not the most beatiful part of my car.

That's all from my side, I'm waiting for Your comments :)

Very very cool Damjan!! To have fit all those motorized components into such a small space, find out how to raise and lower the car to such extreme is no simple task - and you've done so well at it!!

Lots of great detail inside and out, well done. A few outdoor shots would be nice to add to the mix :sweet:

Really like the menacing look, and the adjustable suspension is a very nice extra!

You really captured that classic muscle car look. I love the design and the "mechanical air ride" works great and looks awesome all slammed on the ground :wub:

Awesome ride !

Very cool, especially love how you did the front grill and the rear lights.

It looks the best in 'low rider' position.

I like the shape of your model, i use to have a 72 dodge charger which it kind a looks like...  @damjan97pl, I think a c pillar from a 1968 to 1972 dodge charger would look great on this build

I really like the aesthetic of the model. The sleek, slammed, toy car look. Reminds me of a hotweels car in a great way :thumbup:

Very cool car, I really like that side profile view. However I think that these tires would look better at this scale.

Lego Tire 81.6 x 36 R Technic Straight Tread

 

Agree. The tries look just a tad small for the scale.

what I see it is a muscle car, but IMHO photos are to dark, so I can not see details clearly, except belly photo and front which is very nice

The small tires add to the lowrider look to me.  Add some chrome and you'd complete the look.  Love the ride height feature.
