[FAIL] Mini Fast car
Technic Jim posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
This car was a quick build (no pun intended ) that would follow in the footsteps of my first car with RC motors (http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=124143#entry2503279). It is powered by 1 RC motor geared down 1.4:1 and has a theoretical top speed of ~11kph. It would have all worked fine had the car not been so top heavy and had a tight steering lock. The result was that the car couldn't steer without flipping over and was almost impossible to control because I made the mistake of putting gears on the servo's output so neutral position on the motor wasn't dead straight with the front wheels. It also didn't help that today was very sunny so the IR control kept on getting interference! There is a short video I made though: This car itself was a failure, but I think my next step will be to use a minizip and change the servo positioning. I can't post any pictures today, but I will soon and an LDD file may present itself as well. Thanks for reading and please leave any feedback, Jim
