Thanks @jb70 for improved door mechanism. I applied it and it works quite well. I also applied similar to @ttoobbyy continuous grey rigid hose along the bottom. Gear indicator / switch works perfectly. Moving the car while switching seems seamless and there doesn't seem to be much lag in piston movement. pic of my rigid hose on door. I will order dark azure 1x8 tile to replace the 2 1x4's shown currently. No stickers applied.

It will work, however it can overload. Under stall conditions 4 L motors can generate ~48W which is more than the buwizz spec of 45W. I am not sure if anyone has actually measured and tested buwizz to verify their claimed specifications as of yet. 1 buwizz can handle 4 L's and a servo in normal mode but can overload in fast mode as you can see in the video which @kbalage did above which doesn't even include a servo. The buwizz seems to handle a lot of current per channel but not a lot if all channels are being used. At 45W it is only 1.22 A / channel at 9.2V

[MOC] Koenigsegg One:1

The yellow springs are not soft, they are hard springs like the red ones so I'm not sure you actually improved the front suspension. The shifting mechanism can be problematic. Some have had no issues while others have had issues. I can offer no help here except to say if you want a reliable mechanism, you will likely have to redesign it.- 229 replies

The shocks @metulskie8 used look too large for the front but look nice in the back. If the modification to use them in the back is straight forward, I would certainly use it. @Didumos69 I think some people will struggle to build this because of the high cost of the springs. I wonder if adding a bush (or two) to the spring could eliminate half of them?

@metulskie8 How much modification did you have to make to make those springs work? Can you take a photo a little further out to see how they look?

@Lox Lego you did an excellent job on a car which is not normally the type of car you would build. Nice touch with the chrome pedals and some great photos! That was quite brave driving the car the car at the top of the ramp! @1:30 I thought it was about to go off the ledge Is this your first 4WD? If so, congrats! Have you considered that he didn't paint the panels because @Lox Lego doesn't want to paint his parts?? Just because it is a commissioned build doesn't mean he is shipping the car to the buyer. If it was me, I would have done the exact same thing. -

I thought I remember someone using a bush or thin bush on a regular spring. -

I won't be building but it would be interesting to see #2. -
Looking promising so far! I would not use the red gear for a tail light though. I suggest a 2x2 round trans RED clear brick or plate.

Would you require permission from the designer of the MOC or just the person taking a picture on someone else MOC which they have built? -
