DLuders Posted July 6, 2011 This is a nice Audi R8! There must be an invisible Lego Technic Figure operating all of the yellow levers! Do you have plans to place a slinky body on the chassis? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpueBMBpftk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarcusB Posted July 7, 2011 I don't want to sound naive, but can these large heavy types of models really move properly with that powered transmission? The only reason why I ask is that I have been playing with much smaller less complex transmission systems and they just don't seem to work well remotely powered. I am still new getting back into Lego though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am still new getting back into Lego though. It may not be designed to move. For example, 8448 could be motorized but it was intended to have the rear wheel raised on "jacks". This allows you to run through the gears and watch the speed change, but does not actually have the power to drive. Personally, I found this adequate.

Jurgen Krooshoop Posted September 7, 2011 Looks promising. I'm fascinated by your gearbox. And yes, I know from experience that models these sizes can be made to move properly, just don't expect them to go very fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bekesizoltan Posted September 11, 2011 It looks so awesome. I started to think that, maybe I should stop building my SLS... Great Job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jorgeopesi Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) It looks so awesome. I started to think that, maybe I should stop building my SLS... Great Job! Sls is my favorite car, my first idea was to build it but its dual-clutch box and that it was rear wheel drive made ​​me choose the r8 for its more easy gearbox and that it was 4wd. Sls may be a future project, keep going with your mercedes, I can learn more from it, regards. Edited December 6, 2011 by jorgeopesi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jorgeopesi Posted September 28, 2011 Unfortunately my computer skills are worse than my English but there will be instructions with many pictures when I disassemble the car in two or three months. I've been posting photos and explaining the entire process for those who know Spanish in HispaLUG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
