[MINI] Grand Prix Racer

[Jeroen Ottens]

Hi,

Here is a potential entry for the mini competition. It is a small scaled version of the 42000 Grand prix racer.

Features:

- Independent suspension on all 4 wheels with a linkage mechanism more or less like the real car

- Working steering

- Hood can be opened with a mini-LA

Part count is 200 exactly.

I'm still tweaking the design to get all functions working perfectly.

Wow, the racer looks great! for your independent suspension.

[D3K]

Looks great, you definitely managed to get some of the details from 42000 downscaled nicely!

Rubber band suspension?

[Erik Leppen]

This one's especially nice looking, well done! The fact that it's a mini of an existing set only adds to its charm.

One of the nicest entries.Everything is great, i just dont like "bonnet" for being so tall, but I see that it has to be that way because of the front suspension.

[piterx]

best entry i've seen so far :)

[Zerobricks]

This competition really brings out the best of you guys! Just dont forget to also build in real life

Hi,

Thanks for all the comments.

Yes it is rubberband suspension.

Missing parts are on their way to finish it in real bricks.

Styling of the nose is going to be my challenge for the coming weeks

wow - there are some really well done minis - but this F1 racer and the waterplane are my favorites until now... couldn't say which one i like better...

[EvilEnderman]

Really, really nice.

Love the use of the panels to get the styling just right, you've done it perfectly

[TheItalianBrick]

OUTSTANDING!! :thumbup:

[Jim]

This is the kind of entry I was hoping to see. Well done

[Meatman]

Wow! This one is really really good!

[ms09]

A very neat design, like it.

[KirTech LAB]

Awesome model! Good luck in the contest!!!

[Jeroen Ottens]

Hi,

Next version is designed with a changed nose and an extra function:

The spoiler is now adjustable.

Parts are still underway...

[allanp]

This is looking great, wonder if you could fit in a pull back motor!

[Jeroen Ottens]

This is looking great, wonder if you could fit in a pull back motor!

Hmm, that would be a challenge... especially with the suspension on the rear wheels... and the actuation of the hood...

Then again, it would be really cool... , maybe I'll give it a try

[N-4K0]

Great looking entry!

[Jeroen Ottens]

Hi again,

And a third incarnation of this model...

All functions are still in: independent suspension on all 4 wheels, functional steering (and this time you don't need spiderfingers to use the steeringwheel), the hood can be lifted and the spoiler can be adjusted.

Again exactly 200 pieces.

Please let me know which version you like best so far.

Hands down the last version! The long sloped bricks makes it look a lot sleeker!

Would love it if you'd share the .lxf file

[izorn]

For me: Second version
