    I'm not sure where to post this (or if it's already been posted), but I'm now unable to view embedded videos on this forum using chrome on a galaxy tab 3 tablet. It says 'this plug-in is not supported'. It worked fine up until a few days ago. However embedded videos still work using internet explorer. Just letting you know.

    Yeh, it's getting the battery box in the hotrod that's the difficult bit. If you manage to motorise it with all PFs I'd love to see it. That hotrod really moves in that video. Your right about the 42039, it's very slow motorised with only 1 motor.

    Good luck leaving that under the xmas tree for 2 months . I imagine the hotrod would be very difficult to motorise, I don't think there's enough room. The offroader is more doable. 42029 and 42039 would be easier.

    Nice one! Enjoy that RC goodness :)

    No worries, and thanks for the chat.

    You can only buy the V1 receiver from the lego shop. I got caught out with this when I started buying PFs. I got the V2 unit used from bricklink for a decent price. I'm not sure how much they are now though.
  7. Chade
    Yeah the servos important, and probably a V2 IR receiver (for 2 L motors) but they are getting harder to find. I'm looking forward to seeing what that supercar is too. Please do, the chassis could always be better.

    I know, it's very hard to justify the cost. However I don't regret the purchase of PFs. RC is fun to play with .

    Ah so that's what you meant, now the post makes more sense . If you get into the RC, I definitely recommend the rechargable battery box. Even though it's very expensive, it's incredibly light and fantastic for small MOCs.

    I nearly fell off my chair when I read that. 38000 parts for a display! Wow. Both the model and display look brilliant. I'd love to see it in real life.

    Nice job, and good use of the stickers. I imagine this would be a difficult set to do a C model for.

    Thank you. The model is up on rebrickable http://rebrickable.c...e/rc-sports-car so the work's been done for you .

    Lovely looking car, great job The small amount of unused parts is impressive!

    Thanks for the post. This car is so low I don't think it would move on grass , but I get your point. The 2nd L motor isn't a bad idea. Overall though I'm pretty happy with the performance with one motor.

    Wow, thanks for all the nice comments! I was only expecting a few people to respond. The model was struggling a bit with acceleration (it doesn't run well on carpet), so I'm not sure how well it would run with less torque. I've pulled the car apart but I might test it out at a later date.

    Mate, that is an absolute stunning truck! That front end... beautiful. I've never seen thin beams used like that. Good luck in the competition!

    What a beautiful creation. I've seen quite a bit of your work on this forum and you are truly a master at building boats.
  18. Chade
    That is one good looking truck. Amazing work!

    Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it. My goal is to get better at these smaller types of models.

    Thanks for the comments everyone I originally had the diff + motor setup like this but there wasn't enough room for the seats / interior. I was also going to put the ir receiver more forward but it looked terrible. The chain drive was the best setup I could think of to fit the motor in the back. I found a MOC using chains on rebrickable and I realised this was the best solution. I'm still new with all of this so I've got a lot to learn.

    Hi there, Hope everyone is having fun building cranes for TC8. This MOC was created as I'd just bought the horrifically expensive rechargeable battery box from the LEGO shop, and I wanted to incorporate it into a build. I decided to build something compact, and the below picture is the result. This chassis was designed around the new MX5 convertible at 1:12.5 scale. While it's very simple, I'm quite proud of the fact that I managed to fit all the power functions into it, while keeping it to scale. The height of the car (not including seats and windscreen) needed to be a maximum of 8 studs. The turning circle is tight on the car as well. I then tried to build the body, and this is where things became a lot harder and more frustrating. The build is OK, but nothing great. I wanted to use more panels, but I found them bulky and quite unwieldy for a model this size. The car is also a bit blocky and dense, maybe using flex axles through the body would be better? I don't know. The model has nothing fancy, only the doors open and close and power functions (L motor, servo, Battery & IR receiver) which steer and move the car. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

    I had the exact same problem. I used 2 butter knives to pop out the bits as I found one knife doesn't work. I've split apart 8 of them, and there's been no damage to the parts.

    Congrats to the winners! Very fun and enjoyable contest.

    Looks awesome, can't wait to see it finished! :thumbup:
