    Agreed, but... Although it's bulky, they obviously put a lot of work into covering holes and getting the angles right, so IMO it's compensated. Especially near the back wheel arch and doors. Also, it may look better from a higher viewpoint. I'm mostly excited to see the mechanics and the instructions to get a good look at all the bodywork connections.

    I'm expecting something like this, but with no studs, 1 color, and smaller. I'm not sure about the calipers though.

    [MOC] Project Supercar X

    offroadcreations replied to TechnicRCRacer's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling

    Nice car! You really came a long way with this one. I think you did a great job improving this along the way to make a nice, clean, final model.

    Is that an IR receiver in the bottom right corner?

    Hi everyone! I'm happy to share my newest MOC, the 2018 Supercar! So I started work on this right at the beginning of the year. I had some ideas in my mind that I wanted to include. The best real- life car I could find that had what I imagined was the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, so I used those blueprints to assist me in making this car. I worked on and off up to here, and I'm happy finally have it complete.

Some more pics: Interior with touchscreen is the dashboard, as I always like to include: Other colors: I personally really like how this turned out. As this is my third attempt, I think I'm starting to get the hang of this supercar thing. But tell me what you think!

    I just don't know if those would be the same output.

    Well if one is the rollercoaster, maybe the other one is the usual Creator Expert car?
  8. offroadcreations
    Awesome! I was wondering when this would pop up.

    Too much friction, that was probably it...

    Thanks everyone! @Leonardo da Bricki Here ya go: Like this? I don't have that part, and no offense, but I don't really feel like getting it just for this car, which I'm disassembling soon.

    [MOC][WIP] Untitled Car

    offroadcreations replied to Isamudyson's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling

    Really beautiful so far, I like where this is headed. Great shaping, especially considering there aren't any flex axles.
  12. offroadcreations
    Thank you @Carsten Svendsen. I appreciate your modifications @Didumos69, I will test them and see what to use. I agree, and think that I should wait for the fenders to be completed before I finalize the doors.

    offroadcreations replied to offroadcreations's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling

    Thanks everyone! How's this?
  14. offroadcreations
    Ok, here's a basic door and mechanism. https://bricksafe.com/files/Offroadcreations/collab-supercar/lbx18.lxf @Jeroen Ottens You can modify it however you want to fit the rest of the body. Also the LDD is missing 2 pieces, I don't know which, I believe because I have an older LDD.
  15. offroadcreations
    Really nice car, the shaping is spot on. Keep it up! Plus I love that little snake logo on the side

    offroadcreations replied to offroadcreations's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling

    Thanks everyone! I kinda agree that its a bit out of place. However it can easily be removed. The only problem is that it helps secure the gears in the back. Not having it is really growing on me... I know, so I put the black one in the parts list. Ok, I wasn't sure. I honestly like them to stick out a bit, but I'll keep this in mind for next time so they don't go out too much.
  17. offroadcreations
    Yeah. I made this butterfly door inspired by the doors in Crowkillers' new Constrictor supercar. I know you said so I'm currently trying to make one of those too. EDIT: Here's a prototype. The door would attach to the tan gear.
  18. offroadcreations
    Unfortunately it does appear to have some pretty big holes. But I'll wait until we learn more before I judge it too harshly.
  19. offroadcreations
    Thanks

    What housing do you mean? The gear part of the differential? (Not the small ones on the inside that spin.)
  21. offroadcreations
    After reading this I remembered something I built a while ago. Maybe you can use part of it somehow? I know suspension isn't my job, but I couldn't not try to help.
  22. offroadcreations
    The spring IRL is longer than in the file, so it would need to be mounted higher. Other than that it looks fine, based off the LDD file.
  23. offroadcreations
    Ok. How about this? It hinges up and out at the same time. Pretty simple though.
  24. offroadcreations
    I've started the doors. They aren't really butterfly doors because they don't swing up and out at an angle, and they aren't a dihedral synchro-helix linkage, because they don't swing out. What they do is, as they rotate up, the gear meshes the rack to push the door outwards. I'll have to refine the linkage and the doors themselves once more of the car is built. Here's a render:

    I believe that is what the builders are doing:
