[MOC] Corvette C3 Stingray

[Madoca 1977]

Hello everyone,

This is my new creation, a copy of 1970's Chevrolet Corvette.

It is a medium scale model driven by two L motors, steered by a Servo motor, and wearing 56mm tires. Weight is 1060g.

Thanks to using 24t clutch gears, it smoothly accelerates and stops.

Suspension travel is short and ground clearance is about one stud or so. But it is enough for driving on tarmac.

Features,

Four-wheel independent suspension.

Working retractable headlights and tail lights.

Openable hood, doors and 'trunk' (for access to 8878 rechargeable battery).

Removable targa top.

I added this MOC to Rebrickable. I hope you will like and build it!

Awesome car! Great job capturing the lines, that view from above is amazing. Always glad to see another MOC of yours, they're so well designed.

[Zimix]

Whaoooooo we are speechless (my son and I) it's perfect as all of your models

[Zerobricks]

Those are some nice foxy lines Can you reduce the axle lengths, so they dont sick out of the wheels so much?

[Appie]

Great job capturing the lines of the car. Like the mechanism for the front lights and the nice touch with the targa top, looks very good.

Don't think he wants to cut off the ends of 5.5 axles with stop :P

[Edwin Korstanje]

SuperB Vette and great lines , only the axle lengths are to long .

[piterx]

[tibivi]

Good work on copying these lines :thumbup:

[peter_m]

Oh my...! This is so sweet!

[Pat-Ard]

Great...

Little red corvette ;)

[Balrog]

Sweet. I also find it impressive how much you pack into such "small" scale

[Nico van Duin]

Looks fantastic! I realy like the way you made the rear suspension using the unimog balljoint

[zux]

Dat shape...awesome, just awesome.

[Madoca 1977]

Thank you all! And yes, I need axles 4.5L with stop and thicker tires.

If I had 19L soft axles in black, I would build another Vette in black!

[Doc_Brown]

Sweet! Such perfect lines. Outstanding!

awesome performance as a well! :thumbup:

[Meatman]

Really Nice. Looks just like the real thing.

Why did you use clutch 24 tooth gears?

Thanks to using 24t clutch gears, it smoothly accelerates and stops.

and I always thought we need some kind of clutch, and did not try to use the one Lego has

WOOOOOOW

[Meatman]

Would using 24 tooth clutch gears for the drive wear them out quickly?

I read this topic. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=89999

Since my Corvette is a mid scale model, using two clutch gears was a simple and effective way to use L motors with coasting behavior.

With normal 24t gears, Corvette accelerates and stops abruptly a bit.

Perhaps, but they're cheap anyway.
