[MOC] RC Toyota Corolla TE72 Wagon

[Danifill]

Hi! This time I'd like to show you this model of a Japanese car - Toyota Corolla TE72! It is really simple and it has only tow functions: driving (buggy motor) and steering (Servo motor), but it is also possible to install working front lights. It is pretty fun and quick, though it doesn't have any suspension. It is almost the same scale as the 42109 TopGear car set. The goal was to make a recognizable model, so I hope you will like it. :)

@Danifill Please resize your photos to allowed limit. Check the pinned topic about that.

Love the car, especially the back. Also, the filming location seems like a really nice place to live.

Nice!  

The photos are getting stretched vertically for me on mobile (Android / Brave browser) - is that happening for others?

Thanks! It happened to me as well, it should be fine now, I guess.

Thanks for fixing the photos, they are no longer stretched on my phone now.

Does the bumper hold on ok in crashes?  I am working at the same scale, also with a buggy motor / BuWizz combo, and I have had to really carefully strengthen the front to avoid parts loosening in high speed crashes.

No problem!

 

It had some crashes already, the only damage was to the front lights and the front part of the bonnet (they fell off), also the side mirrors can fall off easily too, obviously. The bumper itself just moved a little (very easy to fix) but didn’t come off. I assume that it passed the crash test successfully. :D
