    Yeah, you're right, but I don't know what else to call it... I think I'll take it out of the title though...

    Yes, it's an airplane that can drift! (or rather do doughnuts) But first, I think the video is the best introduction: Cool, isn't it? I was actually very surprised how well it worked when I first tested it - especially considering how bad my previous MODs were.. (in fact, it's probably the only RC set MOD that I've done that worked at all!) It was quite a challenge to fit all the electrics in such a small body, and was actually the main reason why I only kept one of the original functions... Features: Steering - powered by PF servo. Drive - geared down 3:5 from fast output of buggy motor. Motorized wings (not RC) - powered by PF M-motor. Easy to remove battery box - if not using rechargeable battery. Other Specs: Weight: 650g (with rechargeable battery) Original functions kept: 1 (out of 3) Theoretical top speed: 14km/h (at least) Links: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pTW9vclg0c Bricksafe: https://www.bricksafe.com/pages/mocbuild101/9394-rc-dragster-mod Contest voting: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/162664-ams-2-dragify-your-set-voting More photos: Enjoy!

    No, I've gone for something much smaller than that... (for better acceleration rather than top speed ) EDIT: It's done: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/162045-ams-2mod-lego-9394-rc-dragsterdrifter-powered-by-a-buggy-motor/

    I've finally finished my entry! I will post a separate topic (and PM @letsbuild) tomorrow, but for now, just a teaser...

    +1 I think it's just the right size
  6. mocbuild101
    Or maybe @Jim or @Milan could just move it there...
  7. mocbuild101
    +1 Still a awesome looking model though
  8. mocbuild101
    Well that certainly sounds like a big project, but I think it would be possible - and this is how I would probably do it: (using a car as an example) Import model (car) into Blender. Group (join) the parts into sections that move together (like the front and rear wheels on their axles, and the body of the car) - select parts and join them with Ctrl+J. Add bones to those sections, making sure the bones are aligned with the axis of rotation (like the axles the wheels are on). Parent all the bones into larger sections, and then to a extra main parent bone (like the car - and if there's multiple cars, a extra bone in the space between them). Note: I am also just learning to use Blender too, so this might not be the best solution... Just remember, bones aren't just for skeletons .

    +1 that's really the only definite advice there is... (in my opinion)
  10. mocbuild101
    My main interest is Technic, though I also quite like the old Agents theme (and have managed to collect all except 8637), and the regular CMS (of which I have every single one).
  11. mocbuild101
    Same here... Yeah, I try to do that too (if it doesn't disappear first), though at the moment I've got most of my half-built sets mix up in one big box (), waiting until after I've finished sorting the rest of my Lego so I can find the missing parts...
  12. mocbuild101
    Seems like a good time to ask something I've been thinking about...
  13. mocbuild101
    Title says it all... As for myself, I normally sort my sets' parts, then build it, then slowly disintegrate it...
  14. mocbuild101
    Those could even be used as examples in the information topic...
  15. mocbuild101
    Don't forget there could be other entries that we don't know about yet... Including mine...
  16. mocbuild101
    I think that would be great
  17. mocbuild101
    Well actually it is written - in the FAQ:
  18. mocbuild101
    Very nice! I don't think I can find anything wrong with it... Agreed, it's been done perfectly...
  19. mocbuild101
    Great work, it's nice to see a real-life machine modeled with EV3
  20. mocbuild101
    Well I'd think it wouldn't be until AMS-2 has finished, but yeah, it is about time for another Technic contest...
  21. mocbuild101
    +1 Almost exactly what I was going to say...
  22. mocbuild101
    Congratulations @Marxpek! I always thought that your entry was the best
  23. mocbuild101
    The only one that I know for sure would be 8402, that's not to say that I can't build any others, I just haven't tried...
  24. mocbuild101
    +1 Though overall, I'd say the SBrick is much more versatile.
  25. mocbuild101
    I think the main problem (like you said) is the unpowered cylinders - they will still introduce a lot of friction even if they're lubricated. Another possible source could be the sliders - if the (pin with pin hole) connectors turn against the axles they can add a bit of friction, and with 12 sliders, that could add up to quite a lot...
