    So I finally found the footage of this creation, so I made the video, here it is: So what do you think of it

    Cool car but why the gullwing doors? It's sort of missing the signature lambo doors.

    Very cool! It looks really good, like JJ2 said, any chance of an LDD?

    I don't have any experience with Eneloop batteries but if your want to get better performance you could use three IMR batteries and three dummy batteries. Though this could damage your LEGO because of the over voltage (11.1 volts instead of 9 volts).

    Thanks for the support!

    Thanks guys.

    Hi, I'm away from my LEGO, and I'm building something in LDD right now. I was wondering if someone could tell me the length of an L Motor's wire?
  8. Epic Technic
    Thank you. Yes, I will be making instructions but they won't be out until 2-3 weeks from now since I am on vacation away from my LEGO.

    Thanks, it's a lot of fun!

    After months of construction, it's finally done. The Toyota Hilux (N40 generation) is one of the best pickup trucks ever. Often thought of as tough (that's and understatement), Top Gear failed at killing it by drowning it, setting fire to it, and putting it on top of a building that was then blown up. It took me around 6 months of on and off building to perfect this truck. It originally intended to have a two speed automatic gearbox, but it proved to be too inefficient. Then I got the 42043 and thought of creating a manual high-low range gearbox instead. This gearbox came out much more efficient than the previous one, so I stuck with it. Specs: - Power - AAA Battery Box - Propulsion - 1 XL Motor - Steering - 1 Servo - Control - V1 Reciever - High Range Gear Ratio - 1:2.334 - Low Range Gear Ratio - 1:3.89 And of course the mandatory shot from below Thanks

    Thanks Effe

    Oh no LEGO string from the 42009 is very strong, it can handle a few KG.

    Hi Efferman, I was wondering if it would be possible to print the counteracting boat propellers on a desktop 3D printer? If so, would it be possible if you could share the file for them with me? Thanks

    Really nice build! It reminds me of the Audi 80 Quattro Rally I built last year.

    Interesting, maybe the road was a bit sloped. Anyways, I still think that it holds the fastest lego lipo car title. ;)

    Really nice little car, seems like a ton of fun to drive around. However, I do not see how you managed to reach a top speed of 14 km/h, I did the math and at 7.2 volts with that gear ratio the car can only theoretically go at 11.4 km/h without friction on a flat surface.

    There is also this picture from Promobricks' FB page:

    Great model, what program do you use to render the LDD files?
  20. Epic Technic
    I'm not perfectly sure how it stays balanced but if I were to guess, I would think that it works the same as a bike. The gyroscopic forces of the wheels keep it from falling over.
  21. Epic Technic
    This still could be a rumor but I would love to be wrong since I am a fan of German engineering.

    I am not sure if we can trust mackset, his first post ever is full of major speculation and why can't he say the name of the car? I would not trust him.
  23. Epic Technic
    Thanks, and yes it is rather fast, I think approximately 13 km/h. If you do use the tire squeezing idea, make you use the older rims that do not have four reinforcement struts or else the tire will not stay in place. This is the older version of the rim. see how there is no extra ridge going from the top to the bottom of the rim. This is the newer version of the rim. See the extra connector piece.

    Last weekend, I wanted to see how small of a RC motorcycle I could build. A day later and this came out. Its powered by the slow output of the buggy motor. The wheels are regular 56 x 26 balloon tires but squeeze to fit the inner ridges of the rim. This is the make the tire thinner and have a larger diameter. Here is a picture to show the size difference between the normal tire (left) and the thinner tire (right). As a battery, (purists look away) I used a 9 volt battery with a custom 9V connector to pf plug adapter that I made from a broken switch. The steering is very simple. The front wheel is free to turn from side to side and has a positive caster angle. The 9 volt battery is connected to the servo's output. This means as the motorcycle moves forwards, the wheel will recenter automatically but when the servo moves the battery, the bike will lean to one side. There are also small wheels to stabilize it during sharp turns. And of course the picture from below, but in this case, it isn't very interesting. A video will come shortly if the weather clears up.

    We have seen this poster more than a year ago so I'm pretty sure TLG is not going to release it as the IP car.
