[MOC] RedBull RC Buggy

[[MOC] RedBull RC Buggy]

For this MOC, the difficulty was to insert the electric components but to have a light and good design. The choice of a buggy was chose because the design is quite light, and it is more simple to have a good performance.

I have made custom stickers to have a better look.

I have made a first buggy 3 years ago. As you can see, the new is more beautiful (and much more performant).

Steering is done by a servomotor.

Driving is done by 2 L motors. It is better performant than just 1 XL, because 2 L have a better acceleration and more power. And they were easier to place Inside the chasis.

The suspension is very efficiency. It is smooth and reactive.

At front, there is independent susension. At rear, there is a suspended axle.

The chasis is very, very light. The basis is done around just 4 beams.

The complete buggy (train's battery box included) weights 495 grams.

Thanks ! :)

The helicopter have 641 parts and the container 142. 883 parts for the set.

Thanks for added my MOC in your year awards Thirwigg !

[[MOC] Motorizable Skycrane]

Hello !

I have made this skycrane for a contest on TechLUG. The objectives were :

• Have a mechanism for the rotation of the rotors
  
• A host mechanism
  
• The helicopter must can catch a container
  
• It can have a motorization with a battery box and a M motor for the rotation of the rotors ant the host mechanism
  
• We had a maximum of 900 parts
  

I chose to make a gearbox to have the possibility to choose between the rotation of the rotors or the host mechanism.

The gearbox is activated by a crank.

There is a linear clutch to have progressive acceleration of the rotors and to secure they when the M motor is turning.

On these pictures, you can see the rotors mechanism.

Here, the pictures of the host mechanism.

The clamp is openable by a little mechanism.

The motorizatioon can be add in the cab, by removing the interior. It is not the best solution, but there is not space is this helicopter.

(You can see it in the video)

For the design, I choosed to have a thin fairing. The advantage is the helicopter is more resembling reality ; but there is little place for the mechanic.

There are just 2 seats in the cab.

A made a detailled turbine. It is imposing, it released to the fairing.

[[MOC] Ken Block's Ford Fiesta]

Thanks for the comments !

I suppose it handles like a normal car on carpet or grippier surfaces though?

Yes, there is too much grip to drift.

[[MOC] Ken Block's Ford Fiesta]

Thanks !

Didn't you build this a year ago?

Yes, I did.

Why the 4 rows of yellow half bushes? Get the pivot points closer to the wheels by using 4l longer liftarms and omitting the bushes. This will greatly improve the steering response and the wheels won't travel so much in the wheel wells.

As Victor Imaginator said, this is for increase the lift of the rear wheel. The lever done by the wheels is more important and the rear wheel can by more upped. Without the bushs, it is more difficult to drift because the rear wheel is not so much lifted.

[[MOC] Ken Block's Ford Fiesta]

Thanks ! :D

The driving skills is very impressive as is the car.

Thank you ! The car is not very difficult to control but I had to restart more than 10 times some sequences to have a good result. :p

Very impressive work!

Can it drift on other surfaces?

Yes, it can drifts on tiles (in the same way as on the parquet) and similar surfaces (glass I think, tables...).

[[MOC] Ken Block's Ford Fiesta]

Do you know Ken Block ?

Here is his car... But in Lego !

The first objective was to build a RC model. I had the idea to inculde a caster angle. In testing the first prototype, I have seen it slipped in end of curve.

So I had the idea to improve this prototype. Finally, I did the Ken Block's Ford Fiesta (from 2011, the most beautiful for me).

I made custom stickers for a better look.

It can really do drifts.

The steering is done by a servomotor.

The driving is done by 2 L motors with a 3:1 ratio. (24t/24t/8t)

The working is similar to that of a karting. There is an important caster angle. When the car is turning, thr rear interior wheel is upped. Thus there is less grip at the rear axle, and the car drifts.

The chassis is very rigid to have a good performance.

The body is easily removable.

[[MOC] Supercar]

Thanks !

I have done à modelization of the doors. They are fixed with connectors and a liftarm.

I have just 3 or 4 other pictures in this topic (in french) : http://www.techlug.fr/Forum/topic9641.html

[[MOC] Supercar]

Thanks ! :)

so small and so many functions!

This car is not small. The scale is similar to the LMP1 #42039. (a little shorter)

It is possible to add rims around wheels with paint. Some people have ever done that.

[Hello from France !]

Thank you !

[[MOC] Supercar]

Hi everyone !

After my articulated tractor, I made a supercar.

It has the classic functions of a supercar :

• Steering with return to the steering wheel
  
• Full independent suspension
  
• Fake engine with gearbox
  

I added 3 other functions with a little bit of originality : front and rear cover can be opened by a lever in the interior.

The doors have an uncommon kinematic. They look like the Lykan Hypersport doors. (http://images.hgmsit...100433693_l.jpg)

For the design, I choosed a red and black color scheme. Black is for the covers and the roof. I tried to have good and fluid shapes, without holes.

The fake engine is a V10. It is decorated by exhausts.

I have used the gearbox of the Nathanaël Kuipers's Concept Car (http://mocplans.com/..._main_photo.jpg)

The front suspension :

The rear suspension :

Steering :

The gearbox and the fake engine :

Front cover opened :

Rear cover opened :

The doors opening was difficult to make. The pivot axis is placed in diagonal. The scroll wheels are placed behind the roof.

Thanks for your answers !

I like this type of tractors because this is original, uncommon.

KamalMYafi : ok for the video, I will know.

For the PTO, it is more understandable with this :

[[MOC] RC Articulated Tractor]

Hi everyone !

This is a MOC I made 2 years ago. It is an artulated tractor.

It has 2 RC functions : driving by a XL motor and steering by a M motor.

There is a 2 speeds gearbox that you can select manually.

The articulation allows the 4 wheels still touch the floor.

There is a rear lift to hook tools.

The PTO can be able and disable by the lever near the seat.

Steering :

The rear lift :

The PTO :

(the driving ring catches the bush. The rotation is done trought the rear differential)

I tried to do a good design, with a lot of panels. The hood and the seat are red ; the mudguard are black.

There is a lot of details like front and rear headlights, exhaust, switches.

This tractor has 3 tools. You can see it in the video. :)

[Hello from France !]

Hello !

I am a french student and I joined Eurobricks to show you my Lego Technic creations. I can not write perfect English but I will do the best.

I do different types of MOCs : manual and full remote controlled, agriculture, construction machinery, cars... You can see it on my YouTube channel now (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH-y10H_WO3DbpaNK9PX9GA), but I will introduce soon.

I have an other hobby : the karting.
