I haven't been working hardly on the fiesta, so I only give you the images with doors added to the car. What do you think piterx? They are similar to your model 2qlskdz.png

Nice model and looks lots of fun, I would of thought lego would be interested in making a RC rally car and maybe make this a theme of this years competition.

Very nice but its very heavy.

But the 2 RC motors solve the weight problem.

The suspension is a bit like the one at the 8860 (on the box)

But very very good build!

the second differential saves the RC motors in case that one of the two ir sensor doesn't recive the signal :)

Love the use of springs in the front suspension - it is purist as its the way lego showed off the suspension on 8860 on photos on the box (before they developed the shocks I suppose)

I used similar in many mocs that required longer travel than the standard shocks and if you mix soft and hard springs you can customise the softness of the ride.

Huh, I didn't think Lego actually ever used this.

They didn't.. I had that set when it first came out and for years wondered why it had springs on the box and shocks in the set..

I read years ago that due to safety concerns of the springs flying off and possibly hitting a child in the eye(which has happned to me before when placing springs on various non Lego mechanisms) the shock was introduced late in the development of the 8860...

The boxes for the set were already printed up with the old pictures on them, so they used them rather than scraping them and losing money...
