Hello all, Today I present my newest work in progress, the "Sinner" Supercar. Why is that the name, you ask? Well, it's due to the fact it doesn't have suspension, something I have seen on every other Technic supercar, which is a sin to the supercar builder community. So this is going to be... different from all the others, to put it nicely. Here is what I have so far: Adjustable seats Ackermann-like steering Sariel's 4-speed sequential gearbox, which doesn't go in order because of the way I used it So, I plan to add a body with an adjustable spoiler, opening doors and trunk to get to the engine. Another thing, this is my first real attempt at a supercar, apart from my small Porsche and very bad Porsche racecar I built in about 1 day. Here is a quick drawing of what I want the body to look like. The air intake on the side will be farther forward, and the front spoiler will be lower. Here is what I have so far: Here are the adjustable seats: Tell me what you think of it so far, what I should improve, and what else I should try to add! -
Thanks! I also have another question, can we modify the B-Model of a set?
-
Looks fun! What is the deadline to PM you the entry? EDIT: Haha, just remembered I did this one time to the 9395! I'll still be making a new one for the contest, of course.

Here is the Rebrickable, with different color schemes in the description! http://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-7815/offroadcreations/ultra4-buggy/

So.... I was about to film the Black Edition, and I just knew it wasn't good enough. Too many motors draining the battery, a gear ratio with barely any torque, the front suspension different from the original.... I wanted to give up, but I knew I could still make some kind of special edition, so instead I made it have an XL-Motor with a 1:1 ratio. I took some quick pictures and made a video for the new one. Enjoy! Oh, and the normal one will be added to Rebrickable later.
-
Cool, I like how you always manage to incorporate the old style panels with newer parts and still make it look great! Excited for a video.
-
Thanks! That's a cool idea, maybe I can make it IRL and add custom stickers.

@Didumos69Thank you so much, I finally got it to work! I appreciate your help. Here is a picture comparing the different renderings. Bluerender on the top and POV-Ray on the bottom.
-
Thank you. The problem I'm having is that it won't let me replace it. I was able to delete the old one, but when I try to save the new one, this pops up. I am using a Windows 10 PC, if that helps. If no one knows, that's fine, I just thought I would ask. Thanks. Like this?
-
Oops, forgot to answer a few questions... Thank you very much, and yes, it will be posted on Rebrickable. I was able to do that: And here is the souped-up Black Edition Featuring 3 L-Motors and a 3:1 gear ratio and then a differential.
-
@Didumos69 I was able to make a POV-Ray rendering, but I didn't understand how to convert the LDD file, so I had to just import it as-is. A lot of the parts were messed up, but I just deleted them, so here it is: To sum this up, there is caster on purpose, and camber because of slack in the parts. Any help with converting the files would be appreciated.
-
Actually, everything I used is available IRL. I did use the connectors for some of the axles, but I will have to use them for all of the axles when I build it, since I don't have the long ones in black. Also, thank you for the tips on how to render it, I will check that out. Also, here is one more rendering I did. EDIT: say you said "hardly," didn't see that the first time.
-
@Didumos69@Leonardo da Bricki Here is that black roll cage you asked to see. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it looks. Thanks! I might be able to reinforce it.

Here is the LDD: http://bricksafe.com/files/Offroadcreations/competition-buggy/Ultra.4.lxf Enjoy! Maybe this picture from one of Sariel's videos can show you: Compared to mine:

Do you mean the positive caster? Mine is tilted toward the back of the car like this picture, so it is positive. I do see how you might not like it because of the problems it causes because when it goes backward, you have to make more space for it when the suspension compresses. I like it because when I drive over bumps it makes it easier for the car to keep going. I will be making the LDD file soon, and I have another trick up my sleeve to give this even better performance. The new upgrade will also mean a new video.
-
Thanks! Yes, it doesn't do as well as my Firestorm Truck (already at the right spot in the video):
-
Here's the video:
-
I made one too: Good luck!
-
That's awesome, just like your other 42043 C-Model. I'll definitely have to build it!
-
I did something like this in one of the earlier WIP stages, but forgot to put it back in. I like your idea a lot more, so I hope it's okay I changed it just a bit and applied it to my model: That links to a video about installing rubber bands, but I found the set and I agree. I will be making this in LDD, and plan to make renderings with many different color schemes, so I will try that.
-
Thank you, I really appreciate that. I agree that WIP topics can be very useful to help a build, because the EB community can really be involved. Here is it with the front stripe compared to the old one, which is on the right. Here is the new one just by itself:

@Josephiah Nice to see you're working on it some more! I was just visiting Rebrickable and found this, a 42055 C Model excavator. It looks pretty impressive, especially considering what the original set was. http://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-7823/CYJB/42055-c-model-excavator/ It was made by the builder CYJB http://rebrickable.com/users/CYJB/mocs/

Here is a picture showing the suspension flex, a Ferrari can partially fit underneath! I also changed the secondary color to yellow, should the spoiler be changed too? I will be starting the filming for the video soon.
-
Yes, it works fine, thank you! I'm not that good at making front suspensions, I try to make them too small and get the linkages the wrong length.
-
Okay, here are the stickers, I honestly don't like them very much, how about you?
