Here is my latest MOC:

I tried to cram as many features as possible into a car that's still only 17 studs wide (20 if you count the mirrors). They are:

  • full independent suspension
  • steering (including rotating steering wheel)
  • driving (including fake engine)
  • 2-speed windshield wipers
  • convertible top
  • easily removable batterybox

The drivetrain lacks a differential, 2 L-motors are used for drive instead. The servo motor does the steering and 2 M-motors operate the windshield wipers and the roof.

I plan to create building instructions in the future as I did for my other MOCs. For now, there is only this video.

EDIT: The building instructions are now available from http://rebrickable.c...act-convertible

EDIT 2: This MOC is now on Lego Ideas. Please visit the project page and support it!

Nice pack of features., so much attention to wipers :) Didn't expect it would be FWD, like smaller convertibles these days.

Great model! For me, the roof and wipers are very clever. There's no windscreen but you're showing your skill and what can be done.

Creating a compact FWD system with McPherson suspension was how this MOC got started. After I figured it out, there was so much room left in the back :-)

Lots of features in a small space and that folding roof could well start a trend, very nice.

Very well done! I hope this sets a bit of a trend for FWD vehicles, because I think that kind of setup could create many new innovations in building future MOCs. Can't wait for more innovative MOCs from you! :thumbup:

I really like the mechanism of action of the wipers and roof. Do you have any pictures, how the wiper mechanism and opening the roof, f.e. in ML Cad?

Yes, I will make building instructions and publish them on my Rebrickable profile. Be patient, please :-)

Here's a picture I took during the videoshoot. Please promote it everywhere :wink:

Currently, the model is in pieces while I'm working on the building instructions.

Wow that's a reallly cool car. Love the windscreen wiper, even if there's no windscreen XD that's original. But I also love it looks! I actually can't believe you packed that much functionalities inside a small model.
