[WIP] 2019 Rolls-Royce Wraith

[MP LEGO Technic creations]

Hello everybody.

A few days ago I have started a new project of a Rolls-Royce Wraith car.

Here is current progress on the chassis:

• Working V12 fake engine with neutral
• Steering via L C+ motor
• Drive via 2 XL C+ motors
• Independent suspensions on all wheels

I have also built the mechanism for hidding the Spirit of Ecstasy statue into the hood (photos or video soon).

What's up with the c+ hub and PF motors?

@amorti The Control+ hub is used for drive and steering and the standard Power functions for all other functions, such as elevating of the Spirit of Ecstasy out of the hood (not connected to the chassis yet).

Fancy!

Brickcontroller2 to join them up?

@amorti I went this way because I wanted to have a proportional control (C+) and I wanted to control some functions by switches (that's why PF) either.

Because of the C+ smart hub, there won't be any rear seats (Due to C+ L motor's cable lenght, which wouldn't be long enough if the hub was in the trunk).

Worth looking into brickcontroller2, otherwise you'll be driving it with your phone, then have to put it down to pick up PF remotes to activate the other stuff.

BC2 could do that all with one pad, eg joysticks for driving then the arrow buttons and fire buttons for your other 'digital' functions up and down.

Assuming you have an s brick and a gamepad already, ofc.

Hey! Nice to see such a topic because I/m going to build a latest Phantom! Keep building!

Well, there has been quite a lot of progress since the last post:

First of all, I have built the hood, which can be opened via small linear actuator and 1 PF M motor

This is how the hidden Spirit of Ecstasy look

And not hidden

Openable hood with V12 engine

Suspension reworked (due the car's weight)

Almost complete interior with working steering wheel

And seats designed by me

This is how far can both seats move forwards and backwards

And a short video showing the Spirit of Ecstasy being retracted
