    Very realistic. How do you keep the curvature of the rear truck without support?

    That is one awesome car man. Those doors seem so difficult to build, all while having an professional look to the front end. That is going to be one lucky customer... Oh and how do you build that engine?? So sexy!

    Meatman, yes they were all necessary. Because I had extended the arms by 4 stud widths, the car just sat on the ground. The 36 studs wide means the leverage of the weight is accentuated quite a lot for a 2.7 KG car. The only way this car would drive was to add the 4X 9398 crawler shocks, front and back. If I had made the frame wider at the differential and made shorter arms, this would have worked with 2 shocks per wheel. The angle of the rear shocks could have been more vertical, which may have worked. Back to the drawing board I prob. won't do a car so huge in the future, so many head aches with a car of this size!

    Jim, after work today I will get a flickr account, re-upload and re-post. I wanted to try something different with these doors, and I believe its kind of original. They are too fun to play with, my 3 yr old son agrees Erelender, nice one! I will have to ask you next time before I post for the proper terminology. Suicissors sounds awesome

    Thanks for the comment. I like filtered photos too but I agree, original photos show the build a bit better. I have attached non-filter photos below & Some more details about the build: Size: 36 studs wide x 64 studs long x 16 studs high 4WD with optional Rear wheel drive Weight: 6 pounds or 2.7 KG More clips at http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=563502 https://www.flickr.com/photos/139930963@N04/with/26147608822/

    Due to the XL size of this car the placement of larger panels across the width of the car was possible. This really gave the vehicle a unique styling. I was able to use the large red panels for the interior and the black panels at the bottom rear of the car. Inside are 2 XL motors for drive, servo for steering, and 1 m-motor for the motorized suicide doors. The weight was so excessive on the shocks I had to put an extra strong shock on each axle bringing the total to 12 shocks. Still, the frame barely misses the ground. Framework was completed 100% from scratch, with a fake inline 6 engine. Check it out! Brickshelf link: http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=563502 https://www.flickr.com/gp/139930963@N04/0dHU77

    This is a very tight build. Looks like fun to drive too. Nice work fitting everything intro a small package,

    Very very cool. This is like a movie. Thanks for sharing, put a smile on my face today

    SO many features packed into such a small area. Really nice, the transmission design looks really technical. I like everything except the front lights. They are looking downwards ;) very cool build man.
  11. Lox Lego
    That is one clean framework!!
  12. Lox Lego
    wow. Slightly jealous
  13. Lox Lego
    NIce build man!! The use of the curved fenders at the front look awesome
  14. Lox Lego
    Very Cool build! Loved the motorized wheels and blades. nicely done

    All of this 3D modeling that is going on in this site blows my mind. I know nothing of what it takes to create this stuff, but with 2 days of work an entire model is designed on the computer??! I am in awe. Would love to learn how to do this. Blackbird, since I have started Lego again all of your renders seem so clean. You're the man!

    Super impressive. Love the edit, mechanisms and attention To detail. The blue is a nice Color for this built. Thanks for sharing!

    Very Nice, love the seats!

    No, the chassis of the 42039 was too wide, this frame utilized the same style of suspension but was created from scratch. I have dual springs at the rear, narrower width of both front and rear suspension, and created a new frame to take the 2 L-motors and servo flush with the bottom of the framework. If you would like to put this car in the hall of fame I would be very happy to lend a cool photo or two for the record

    Hi Jim, my apologies. I thought the file size was only too big if it were uploaded to this site, not when it is hosted on another site. I am not very familiar with forums I will upload size reduced photos from now on with a link to my brick shelf for HQ. http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=563068

    SO I finally figured out some Lambo doors to complete the build :thumbup:Check out the new photos below:
  21. Lox Lego
    That's what I was thinking too! Will this be a RC car or manual? I too would like to create a awd version, finding the right setup a difficult. This looks so clean. I didn't even notice right away that you put a small grey connector in your spring for more tension! Nice!

    I built it with the gull wing doors because I enjoyed the function of that style of door from my last car and since my seats are so wide the gullwing style allows more room for the seats. Also, I find proper lambo doors really difficult to design. That being said, I am already in the works of creating lambo style doors for the car right now. Try and see how I can make it so its aesthetically pleasing and functional. Lastly, the small black panel beside the rear view mirrors are sitting further back than intended and having the door swing up lambo style would interfere with that piece. Back to the drawing board I guess

    There are 2 l-motors and 1 servo motor. That's it! And I have some driving of this MOC in the video.

    Since November of last year I have gotten back into Lego. After many years away, I had received a new motorized 9398 4X4 crawler and fell in love with Lego again. There is something so simple and calming about sitting there trying out new designs, functions and models. I very quickly became interested in building model Lego cars because they seemed to replicate the real thing in so many ways. Now my two boys absolutely love Lego and have been a fan of playing with my cars around the house. (Of course occasionally crashing them into the wall ) Car dimensions: 47 long x 27 wide x 18 high I may not spend a lot of time building my creations, but after a few days I just can't wait to tear down my last one and start fresh with a new one. That being said, this forum has taught me to have patience to take the time to create the right design. And have also learnt that quite often extra power functions compromise the beauty of the design. So I went a bit back to the basics with this RC and only have rear wheel drive and steering. That will always allow for more room to create a better design. Anyway, enough about me, here is a Lamborghini Murcielago that took me 3 weeks to make. To all of the purest's out there, this is not a perfect replica by any means. It has Gull-wing door, which Lamborghini's do not have. But I can assure you, this is a 100% Lego MOC. (Even the blue rubber band that hold the doors open is from Lego) Browse through the pics, check out the video and enjoy!
