Though there were parts to it that fell off fairly easily, I still liked the end result. My little car doesn't have any wheels, but that's because it uses anti-gravity to remain afloat and propel itself forward. I did try to make it look like it has normal license plates and all the lights a normal car has. Thanks for looking!

So we all know the car that comes with PC is rubbish as it stands. IMO the only positive aspects of the design are the hood and trunk, the rest being oddly proportioned. So being the car nut that I am, my first thought upon seeing it was to modify it to look like an actual car and not a giant skateboard. If I'm not mistaken, I'm the first to post a modded version of it here. I added larger doors, added height to the rear fenders, and swapped out those awful bumpers. Original Mod And finally here it is with my lightly modified fire truck from Fire Brigade.

This car kinda reminds me of a spider on the prowl, so Spider Roadster it is. I'm out of my comfort zone building in this scale, hope it doesn't show haha -Can probably easily convert this to a hot rod with the engine exposed. Dark Red and Dark Blue with Lightning Streak variants -Crash bar to protect the gas tank And here's Mr. Frankensquid riding the roadster while making Vroom! Vroom! noises because this is just a showroom car, it doesn't have any gas. Comment/enjoy/berate!

This is a red sports car I made last week. I came up with the idea of the front end then I kind of built the rest from there.

I just finished my first decent car build in ages. It's a 2009 Dodge Viper SRT10 in Lime (I'm a bit of a sucker for this colour!). Building the doors was horrible. I spent over 8 hours trying to get the right shape and have them open and close. I finally came across a pretty dodgy technique to make it work though, but at the cost of them being 3 studs thick, leaving less space inside. I managed to pull it off though I think. I'm really happy with the build and feel it's one of my best cars. Pics here on my flickr page (my other cars are there too). Better description is on my MOCPages: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/349811 Thanks for viewing. Sam

C model for the 42010
tibivi posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hey all, I got the new 42010 buggy for my birthday yesterday and I did not really like the looks of the A model, so I build my own C-model. Its functions: Steering with working steering wheel Pull back motor The pictures More pictures on my Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tibivi/sets/72157632939016521/ What do you think?

Review: Lego 42000 Grand Prix Racer
SNIPE posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi, On the 26th of December I got the Lego 42000 from a local store after being informed that it is available in a certain store. I got it for £79.99 which I think is fair as today I finished building it and decided to do A review so without further do: General info: The set box is quite good with the images as it captures the whole car with good detail in a smallish box size, it also demonstrates its features, its ad-dons using PF and other usual information such as dimensions, it has a total of 1135 parts (26 spare from A model) and it is 58cm long by25cm wide by 13.6 cm tall, the B model is not available in the set but maybe online as PDF. The instructions are in three books its features are independent suspension, HOG steering, rear diff and working engine, tilting rear spoiler and engine body cover with a hinge. The engine cover and rear wing can either by adjusted manually or electronically. Mechanisms/construction: The mechanisms feature: linear actuators, gears+differentials, springs, motors, linkages on either beams or ball joints. they are either controlled by motor, by hand, the switch between rear wing and engine cover is done with a clutch that is hooked up to a selector switch, if you have the motor with it it only reveres whatever is selected. like that the linear actuators have build in slip clutches so you cant overdrive it and break it however when it goes off with lifting the engine cover is is quite wobbly and noisy, also when the engine cover lifts up it goes get slightly obstructed by a body panel and the mount of the actuator which does slow it down opening and closing half way though but it isn't a huge problem for me, after all it is still a set of standardized parts, nothing custom designed. The rear diff and engine work very well as usually when you spin the wheels they don't run for very long but these ones do so the parts have little friction, the rear spoiler is also good and I don't have any issues with it, its design is clever and a bit different maybe which is what lego is about. The suspension is smooth but I was hoping for more travel than this even if it is an F1 car, the fact that they can be seen operating is good too. The steering is also a bit of a problem as it has quite a poor turning circle, with these new steering parts which came out in this set first but it is even worse than other lego F1 cars. Since it is quite big and looks good this is a + but I don't think much of the stickers and they generally get damaged anyhow so I left them off but they do match with the shape and colour of the parts. The new parts are good , larger tires which I long for since the tires from the power puller and Williams f1 car are hard to get and expensive these new ones are better for sets about as large as the 42000 , I even think these tires will fit with other rims too. Another nice part is the 5L lift rm thin with cross holes both ends as trying to have a lift arm and support it that is 5l and thin is not easy, I used to use the triangular lift arm (old or new) before this part came out, and that is important because it will help get over problems and limits in future sets. This model is compatible with the power pullers battery box and M motor and you don't need to add or remove any other Technic parts to change it so the PF parts fit but I was expecting the clutch and sleeve to drive the rear wheels when it was in the middle position but it doesn't do anything which is odd, and there is plenty of space in the car too. I would also have liked to have the servo motor in the large space in the cockpit as that only requires the steering wheel to be taken off, I suppose for the price it's OK that you don't get any PF parts Pricing of this set is OK/slightly steep and I say this because of the above points and because it doesn't take that long to build which isn't too good for me as I like spending days building like with the Unimog U800 and that has PF too The design is good, I particularly like how the body contours match on either side of the air intake/grills on either side and the back engine cover is nice too as the back does have to go up on an angle slightly and when reading the instructions it looked like the back end was white tall but its fine. The colours are nice too kind of looks like a Honda/McLaren, the new body panels looks really sleek and will help with other models, my favourite is the 1.4x4 body panel in red The conclusion: My conclusion is that I give this car 7.5/ out of 10, you get three new linear actuators, newish tires (appeared in 1 other set I read),new steering/wheel hubs, body panels but it could be more complicated and have more features and have the 'new price' follow this perhaps, however there is a lot of good body work and some clever features and mechanisms so that's where i put it. For good measures here are some videos and images of the set: :), feel free to ask for any other information or photos of this model. https://www.dropbox....12 20 01 18.mov -

Greta has a spiffy new ride to get around Fabuville, she'll be tearing up the tarmac in no time! If you had not already guessed, Greta is my FabiFig. This car was a fun little play around to build something that would work for both my Fabuland Figure and my Sigfig. I just had to go for a Hotrod because they are just so cool! More Photos here (when moderated)

A new car is coming... (WIP)
jorgeopesi posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
A few pics... It will be RC with a 7 speed and reverse manual gearbox like in my Huayra but this is 4WD. For the moment the hardest part was to build a front drive axle with servo motor and only 23 studs between wheels, most commonly they are 25 like in the rear axle but the proportions of the car are so. I don´t know yet what motors use or how many, I have room enough which is the most important thing and also works with a RC motor or a L motor worked fine. -
Here is my Transforming car, I made it in about 10 minutes so its just a bit of fun Car mode- Flying mode- "Roads? Where we're going, we dont need roads" Hope you like it, Comments and constructive criticism appreciated

Obviously, the beautiful white Batman minifigure needs something more. The black Batboat from 76000 (which I "goldified" too) does not suit him. Well, his white equipment should start with... ...a Tumbler first! And yes, it comes in white too! The whole build is based on my previous black version, with some parts modified but they are just tiny details. I also have a snap of the interior... So there is a black Tumbler, and also a white Tumbler! I guess Mr. Freeze has to be very alerted again as this white Tumbler will camouflaged in the snowy landscape and hit him badly! I still think the black one looks more sleek. What do you think?

I figured I would make I thread for all my creations and WIPs, and to start it out, here is an Isuzu 117 Coupe WIP: What do you think of it? Should I finish it? Anything that I should revise?

The car in this set is one of the better of these new City cars with the truck tires, but those tires still ruin the look. What should be a nice sports car, almost reminiscent of an Audi GT and R8 imo. So I made a few changes to make it look like a sports car and less like the love child of a car and a Jeep.

Working steering for f1 car
SNIPE posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi, I'm looking for some sort of steering arm that will attach onto the axle in front of the two yellow bushes but when the suspension arms pivot they will get in the way as shown in the second image. The thing I need attached needs to have a pivot on it so a lift-arm or beam can move up and down like how the suspension arms do but it obviously rotates when the axle rotates for the steering. The bushes are there as a spacer as there is a gap since the spindle is offset by half a hole (0.5L) so whatever you put on the axle wont get obstructed by the two black connectors. The other thing is, if there is too many points in which it can pivot vertically when it is supposed to rotate horizontally to steer the car so I think it should have one vertical pivot on one side and another on the other side (just before it connects to the steering rack or other way of steering it with HOG or a motor). Reason being that it does not let the steering arm pivot horizontally without the axle also pivoting horizontally and it allows the steering arm to move with the suspension arms for clearance. The reason why I'm using a steering arm that is above the suspension arms is because the steering angle range is so large that it is very hard to have it work on both left and right turning without it being obstructed, even it if had one steering arm either side of the spindle. -
V-LV-52A Here is the latest in my 6 wides. This time I bring you a 32 ford, I may revisit this one for an upscaling or modify this one so that I can include an operational rumble seat. You can find my LXF File over at my Mocpages (you may have to refresh a few times to get the page to load as Mocpages seem to be still experiencing some technical issues).
