grohl

68 cm long and 32 cm wide model inspired by the racing vehicles from Star Wars:EP 1. With opening canopy, joysticks controlling the cables holding the engines, opening mouth revealing a laser cannon operated by a lever in the cockpit and retractable landing gear resembling claws. 17 wheels used in total.

The fisrt and the last time anything got wet was when testing the first version in my bath. The Battery box fell of and straight into the water. The good thing is, that it still works and the Ni-MH batteries also.

Thanks for all the kind words. Yes, my goal was to achieve the appearance of a vintage speedboat like this.

Really nice one. Great job.

There are just two on each side. Definitely it would be better but not that small.

Hi, I am new here, but some of you may know my other creations from here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=grohl666 I would like to introduce my last MOC to you. It is a 480mm long and 145mm wide model of speedboat. 2M motors for pretty fast movement and excellent maneuverability. Powered by LEGO rechargeable battery. Video can be seen here:
