    http://bricklink.com and the Eurobricks Shopping Forum would be a good place to start looking.

    Thank you @That_LEGO_Guy. My micromotor has been running quite rough recently, so I might try this out!

    It looks like it could work in Technic, but I would go with System lego instead, due to its blocky nature.

    I love that S2000! Can't wait for more info to be released. I don't often find cars with those wheels, and I don't have the more popular (for supercars) wheels.

    That is a fair idea, but the whole point of the racetrack was to create a standardized way of judging the vehicles.
  6. letsbuild
    I guess so.

    Well, I'm going to bump this topic. We had a great start to this competition, and after reading through the last few pages, here's some recaps before I get to my point. 1. The idea was given to make a basic chassis for every entry to use, kind of like formula E, but this was rejected, in part, because some specialized parts were lacking from people's collections. 2. Scale was greatly debated, going from 1:10, to 1:8, to somewhere in between, to 1:18, and finally to wheel size. First suggested was a max size of 62.4, which are not very competitive wheels, then maybe making a class for cars with tires larger than that. 3. There were suggestions to make multiple classes, but this was also shot down because it introduces the illusion of multiple classes. 4. Electronics were restricted to PF Receiver, SBrick and base PF motors, all powered by Lego power supplies. The final rules about car chassis, as detailed by @Zerobricks, are found here: As for the racetrack, these are the proposed rules: The problem with these rules, as brought up earlier by some members, is that it can be easily falsified and cheated. I do like that they factor in all aspects of drive for a car: Torque, speed, weight, suspension, durability, agility, and drive type. I don't have a better solution, but I would like to hear from all y'all. All in all, this competition was very near completion, and it just needs that little edge. Would it be worth trying again? I'm definitely interested, and if there are enough members also interested, I think we should go ahead and try this.

    Okay, that's fair. Otherwise, your model looks awesome.
  9. letsbuild
    The side panels look really flat. Is there a way to fix that?
  10. letsbuild
    Is the 28t gear new?

    This seems like a promising project, looking forward to some IRL progress!
  12. letsbuild
    I'm not a big fan of the colours for the new parts, but I'm loving the shapes!
  13. letsbuild
    I understand. Awesome job, nonetheless.
  14. letsbuild
    This model is AWESOME. Very clean body, with an even cleaner interior. I like how the servo is used as a center console. Are instructions in the books?
  15. letsbuild
    Sounds like quite the ambitious project; I'm hooked! I think you could try with motors for your main systems (gearbox, drive, and steering) but make everything else manual. Worst-case scenario you just go full manual, which, as you noted, does have some perks. Anyways, I look forward to seeing some pictures of development, this has a lot of potential.

    Oh, Arrow's indycar! I love their livery, so I look forward to seeing how you tackle it!
  17. letsbuild
    Looks like it spent some time sitting on a shelf somewhere and picked up some dust Otherwise, all I see is a stunning model with some excellent functions. Well done!
  18. letsbuild
    Wow, that is quite the progress. It's looking great. Keep up the work!
  19. letsbuild
    A TVR?
  20. letsbuild
    I saw this before, and I would really like to have something like that, even if it's as powerful as a micromotor.
  21. letsbuild
    Um, you quoted yourself in the original topic, but anyways 1: (1) 2: (3) 3: (2) 4: (1) 5: (1) 6: (1) 1) Hope it's helpful

    Could it maybe be a Vulcan?
  23. letsbuild
    No, the second, specialized rims.
  24. letsbuild
    I love this model, where did you get the rims?

    I like the idea of modifying parts. I use lego to develop my mechanical skills, and I regularly 3d-print parts to achieve a goal. Unfortunately, 3D printing is weak(ish) and difficult to clean up, so I usually just stick to regular parts. For me, Lego is a platform to develop skills without restricting a user. With such a basic dimensional system, it is incredibly easy to develop your own parts. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't mind the modification of parts. My goal is to learn and adapt. I like the idea of cutting panels, though I would rather 3D-print my own than do it. I understand certain limitations of 3D printing, such as the fact that many people might not have access to it, but as long as you're achieving what you can with what you have, you're on the right track.
