    Looks very clean! This has got to be my favorite car of his.
  2. DamonMM2000
    Thank you! It has return-to-center steering, just left center and right.

    The rear of that car… my goodness it looks awesome!

    I went retro this time around and decided to build something as big as I could without compromising the look. Chopp3Rod is the result of many hours of work, sporting both an attractive interior and exterior. The wheels are driven by independent direct drive via two Large Motors. A complex program allows the drivetrain to mimic a differential since a real differential was not used. Therefore it has an electronic differential! It sports many details, including a V12 engine, transparent lights, a Color Sensor headlight, comfy seats, clear quarter-panel windows, side exhaust, curvy wheel arches, rear tonneau cover, custom wheel hubs, and more! I am really happy with this model and how it turned out.

    Having problems with my LEGO pull-back motor, it is loud and coarse sounding. Compare it to a good one and notice the difference. The internals sound messed up, as if the gears or springs inside are misaligned or out-of-place. Tell me what you guys think about this.

    Love it. Keep working on it!

    Is that construction vehicle what once was going to be Mindstorms?

    I'm trying to upload the blueprint, but it won't let me attach it. Can anyone help? Thanks. For now, I'll let you guys on the specs: fake LEGO V8 piston engine with detailed supercharger (like the real thing) 43.2 x 22 ZR tires and wheels length: approx. 43 studs wheelbase: approx. 25 studs width: approx. 17 studs As for now, I plan to have the rear of the car lifted two studs in comparison to the front, and that will be remedied through gearing. That will give the sloping look of the car more accurately. I'm working on the engine and "supercharger" cover right now, along with a few front styling cues such as the grille and lights. The engine will have working pistons driven by the drivetrain. As you can tell by the smallish tire size (same tires that are in the Ev3 and NXT set), this is gonna be one tight Caddy That's about it for now…

    The differential housing looks great! Wish I could get one now
  10. DamonMM2000
    Wow, looks amazing! I really impressed with this model.
  11. DamonMM2000
    I'd really like to see another supercar come from TLG also!

    Hey, that's quite a neat looking car! All it needs is a roof and windows
  13. DamonMM2000
    We do? Very sorry, I'm not sure I remember who you are. Could you explain somehow I know you? Thanks…

    There is an app called MIT Inventor for NXT, and if you feel like programming a remote-control program, that's an option

    Hey guys, I've built several Lego vehicles with MINDSTORMS® and decided to use my experiences with previous vehicles to build a real car. I was originally looking at building a Ford Escape, but the blueprint scaler measurements came out all wrong, so I turned to a Cadillac CTS-V. I'm a fan of the CTS-V, mostly because of the luxurious ride and smoking performance fused into one car. Here's a picture of the real-life vehicle: Please note beforehand that I am building a model based off the Cadillac CTS-V, but not necessarily an exact replica, partly due to less than a total of 2,000 pieces and partly because I don't have a lot of pieces of just one color I'll try to share the blueprint with measurements tomorrow, and because I am already working on a few builds at once, starting this work on spare parts will be a bit slow for a couple weeks. I hope you guys enjoy the progress! If you'd like to, please check out my previous vehicular builds: Outland3r - Outland3r 2.0 - RX2 Thund3r Truck - AWD MiniKart - Chopp3Rod -

    The lower system is nice, quite quicker than the pneumatics one on your Chevy truck. Good progress!
  17. DamonMM2000
    This looks spectacular, even from the renderings! Can hardly wait for it!
  18. DamonMM2000
    Not sure if anyone knew yet, but KBRICK on YouTube has made two great 42039 RCs, one with XL Motors and one with L Motors.
  19. DamonMM2000
    Looks really nice! Good luck on the build!
  20. DamonMM2000
    I can't grasp how you can have so much time to create these cool videos! Keep up the good work!
  21. DamonMM2000
    Dude, that looks really nice! Keep working on it!

    11:10 26:6 10:4 22:3 29:2 17:1 ​There where a lot of great entries! 11 did a great job with the aesthetics and airbag system, 26 also had awesome looks, 10 was just fantastically huge, 22 caught my eye as something really neat packed in a small package, 29 could have used a little work on the exterior but it seemed pretty quick and I liked the boost function and I was quite impressed with the speed-o-meter mechanism, and finally 17 had some very cool functions. Good luck everyone!
  23. DamonMM2000
    Quite strong enough, I don't recall having any problems with the steering.

    AWD MiniKart is my latest creation using three differentials. This is my first attempt at building an All-Wheel-Drive drivetrain, but it was worthwhile the effort. I wouldn't say this is a huge success, but it works well on perfectly smooth terrain. I do have a few ideas for a 4x4 vehicle now ;) It uses two Large Motors to drive the center differential which distribute the power to all four wheels, and the Medium Motor steers the Rack and Pinion setup. I also built a custom base stand for some video purposes; it's not hard to build and has good usages. Any more information you would like will be happily answered. Until NXT time… DamonMM2000 Please click to watch a detailed video on AWD MiniKart!

    Looks awesome! Keep up the good work!
