Sorry, but I don´t think that a topic, which is about improving this set is the right place to share your opinion on this set. I can partially understand your intention behind this post, but I don´t think it is at the right place...

Thanks, I´m glad you like it. A #3 axle with stop would not work, because the structure couldn´t move. No problem. Yes you are right there is some friction in the suspension, but the whole setup with the hard springs work really good.

Yes I fixed the wheel hub with a bar, because, an Axle would not work.

I just can say WOW, this looks so amazing, great job. Even better than the first version, the yellow looks perfect on this car. Congratulations!

Sorry for the late response, but I was very busy last weekend. First of all I want to say thank you for all nice comments, I´m very happy that so many here like it. The updated version with new headlights is still in progress, so I don´t have any new pictures here. @Zerobricks @Igor1I didn´t used any custom parts inside of the car, because I will release some instructions soon (I hope I can finish them in 1 month) and the car should be build-able without any 3D-printed parts. Some pictures of the rear axle. The design is very compact and perfect for cars in scale 1:12 I have created a studio file for the rear axle, you can find it on my Bricksafe page. https://bricksafe.com/pages/Lukes_Brick_Studio/porsche-911-gt2-rs See you.

Thank you very much for all nice comments, I am very happy that all you liked it :). I am always very happy about every comment, because it helps me to improve future buildings and give me some feedback to this construction. I can definitely understand the point that the front does not look as good as the back. For me the overall bodywork it was very challenging to create, because the scale is relatively small and Porsche 911´s have so many curves. The front part was very hard to create, as all parts needed to fit in place without hanging around. The light idea with those rigid hoses I is definitely not perfect and in need of improvement. I will check out if a 3 wide trans clear dish look better like @Gray Gear said. @2GodBDGlory yes the car has independent wheel suspension, but I forgot to mentioned it in the description. @Milan I´m so sorry that I forgot about the right size of the pictures. See you.

Hello everyone, I am really glad to present you my new MOC, a replica of the Porsche 911 GT2 RS. My goal was to built a fast and good looking car, so it has not that much technique inside of it (it just uses one single gear for steering :) ). This model is RC and has the following features: Rear wheel drive powered by 2x Buggy-Motors (top speed is around 12-13 kp/h, in ludicrous mode 14-15 kp/h) Steering powered by a servomotor Working rear lights Independent wheel suspension Opening doors and detailed interior and exterior The car is powerd by Buwizz, so it has plenty of power. Dimensions: length: 35,5 cm | 46 studs / width: 15 cm | 19 studs / height: 11,2 cm | 14 studs Scale: 1:12 The model is relatively small compared to the Lamborghini Sian. Important Picture from the bottom ;). I made some 3D printed wheels and panels for the car. The car with normal lego wheels. You can find more pictures (including some from the building progress) at: https://bricksafe.com/pages/Lukes_Brick_Studio/porsche-911-gt2-rs Comments, suggestions and questions are always appreciated. See you.

Thanks you very much, yes those portal axles are very compact and study, the only problem is the turning circle radius. Really good ideas.

Your progress is looking good. I really like it that you are using the new differential. Maybe you can try to built two front axles one with the clutch outside of the differential and one where it sits right beside the differential, than you can look witch version works better and is more reliable. I have built a 4WD truck last year with locking Differentials on all axles, maybe you can get some inspiration from it. https://bricksafe.com/pages/Lukes_Brick_Studio/mercedes-benz-zetros-4x4

Ok, it´s your opinion and I can partially understand it. I want to clarify that I do not defend TLG, (I also don´t like many things they do even some technic sets are very bad an overpriced), but I want to defend the Zetros from unfair comparing.

I can´t understand all those people who just always want to criticize TLG for everything they do. In my opinion the Zetros can´t be compared with those trail trucks. Yes, they did a much better job, but they didn´t use Lego wheels and all of them are much bigger so it is clear that the Zetros will have it problems with climbing over big obstacles. In my view it is also unfair to compare MOCs with Lego sets, because you can´t expect the same. MOC designers don´t need to follow any rules and there are no limits, the Lego designers have rules and they should create anything which works constantly well (it is a toy and not a RC-vehicle ! / Lego designers can´t put 3x or more XL Motors just for drive in a set / MOC designers can if they want). Lego designers also need to make a set good looking - those trail trucks didn´t look good in my opinion, they are just for off-road driving. Another point that is important for me is the overall complexity of the trail trucks. The MOCs they aren´t as complex as the Zetros. Does one of those trail trucks have a remote controlled rear diff-Lock? No. Do they have planetary gear hubs? No. The Lego Zetros has both and uses much more technique inside of it. I also would like to add, that while reading through this post I felt like that some people here just want to criticize everything TLG do and those people don´t post anything constructive. And if those people really think about it, many of them wouldn´t even buy one these trail trucks build by the MOC designers, because those trucks are also not perfect. (The look is awful and they are not complex). Many people here don´t criticize the Zetros they just criticize TLG for releasing a good set (even better than the old 9398 witch was also not as good at off road terrain as those trail trucks / So good old times are maybe not as good as some of you have it in there memory).

This looks really good, well done. It instantly reminds me to 8824, the only thing I would change is the small "window" at the front, so I would change those dark bluish gray parts to light bluish gray ones.

Thank you very much for the compliment. You are right, it would be very cool to built a expedition truck too. (Maybe I decide to built one later this year (other MOCs need to be finished earlier)).

Wow, this Rolls Royce Phantom looks very good. Congrats. In my opinion the two tone colorway and the overall interior looks amazing. I really like the unique pneumatic brake system, which I never saw any time before. In my view the roof sits a little bit to deep (but this just could be my opinion). Well done :).
