I might try and figure out how to add this style of front axle.. But at this scale it'll be very difficult.

Here is my take on a RC hotrod. Features: Fully RC. Buggy motor for speed. Servo for steering Buwizz for power. Functional suicide doors with door handles that lock them. Full interior. Adjustable rear suspension (you can raise the rear axle height by a crank hidden in the trunk.) Easy modular build to modify with lots of customization options.

How do you plan on having drive trough that part?

Looking for an independent front suspension at the scale that accepts these tires. Wanted to make a VW T4 transporter but the front axle on that is just a nightmare to make. It needs torsion bars for springs. But figuring out KPI or caster with a diff and driven front axle is very difficult. Does anybody have any suggestions? Also thinking about a floating differential build because of the caster angle making it difficult with the driveshafts. Anybody got any solutions?

These creator expert bodyworks look stunning. I wish people would make more RC technic chassis for them.

Awesome! You should definitely try making a hotrod next. You have a very good talent of making mocs with smaller scales. @sm 01made awesome hotrods at this scale but he's no longer with us.

Very compact and functional!

Beauty of modularity. It can be everything!

people just keep making more and more accurate models.. if you look at it from far away, you can't even tell it's lego.

Omg that is insane!! I was working on that same thing but you beat me to the punch! I just couldn't figure out the camshaft and was following your V8's build and try to make it that way.

high quality work as usual! Well done!

the color scheme has a tiny nostalgic rock riders vibe to it. love it.

The fake engine collection thread doesn't have a scale restriction.. Basically every single fake engine is welcome no matter how they're built. Even non functioning engines that just look nice are also welcome.

These engines would make a great addition in this thread.

That fake engine is amazing! Well done on the valves.

That sounds nice but making a thread about "i'm thinking about making a moc" is not allowed. You'll have to post at least one WIP picture in the first post.

I would love to see a similar engine being built with technic parts only instead of using system parts. We do have a thread dedicated for fake engines btw. Wish to see more detailed engines like this.

Massive improvement for sure!

After testing it with just with an axle in the middle, i found out that when i stall an XL motor, the axle will twist from torque.. But after adding the beams to toughen it up, it seems much more solid with no torque twisting.. (other than the XL motor jumping out of my test rig)

I designed the toughest driveshaft you can build from lego. Introducing the hub-joint: You can choose to either connect the middle hubs together and even connect the axle to them so it can spin or you can decide not to connect them. After trying it in real life, it's so darn strong that you can stall an XL motor with zero damage to the driveshaft. The 9 long beams are not necessary though.. You can just remove them and the light gray hub connector part and just have the 3 stud connector only and it'll work just the same. However if you want to limit axle bending, i recommend connecting the center axle to the beam assembly and having the beams rotate as well. You can get 3 stud of travel in one direction so basically 7 studs total. That's huge with a driveshaft this short.. You can also make it as long as you want and get even more travel. This can be used in large mocs that really need a very strong driveshaft due to massive torque. Bonus for this is that it can also be made quite telescopic. Axles have 3 studs to move telescopically before they hit the pulleys.

The dodge ram is finished!

This is my dodge ram build that i've built with the help of @keymaker It's based off keymakers chevy which i've made much larger. Features: - 4wd. - L motor drive - Servo steer - Easy to disassemble modular body. - Crude basic interior - Leaf springs on rear axle - Buwizz You can remove the bed by first pulling the sides of the bed out and then pulling it backwards. Which will leave you with a bed floor, mudguards and rear tail lights. The mudguards and the front of the bed floor can be removed which will expose the rear leaf springs. The cab is a little bit tricker to remove. You need to push the bump stops off and then push two pins to detach the front end. Then pull the body up to release a pin behind the buwizz pointing upwards.. Then you just pull the cab to the side which will disconnect it from the L motors side. You're left with the barebones chassis which shows how simple the chassis really is.

wish i had.. used to play with them when i was a kid in the 90's.

Did anybody else build long tentacle arms to technic figures back in the day? Boy that was fun. I also used to build battle armor to technic figures.

Awesome little project!
