The first thing I thought: You need to put some flaming exhausts on it! -
Welcome back @Marxpek, I was wondering what happened to you... Wow, you're so close to 40km/h! When did you get to that speed, and with what design?

My first thought: Nice car! My second thought: that will be very hard to make in Lego... -
No, it's a different controller, so it won't work.
-
Great work! I like that you built it mainly for fun, rather than trying to replicate something specific.
-
What I meant is, the direction of travel, the wheel, and the steering all need to be in the same line, otherwise it will affect the steering of the vehicle. (I know, it was kind of a useless comment...) Well, no... (but it is still closer to the shocks than in your example) But you still should have enough traction for steering...

Have you looked at this:
-
Amazing! - If only it was as fast as it looks... That would be so cool...

To build the biggest wheels possible? -
Yeah, that affects it a lot too. (I forgot to mention that...) ...As long as you keep the weight mostly inside the contact area.
-
I guess I should put my thoughts into the mix... This happens in cars only... did you see any parking bike with a straight frontwheel? Well there are some other things you need to consider: The weight of the rider The angle of the whole bike (which is tilted when parked) The gyroscopic affect of the wheels (when moving) Yes, and no... The center of the wheel just needs to be in line with the turning point of the steering. Yes, but it's not the softness that is the problem, it's the way it was made - real bikes have the wheel attached directly inline with the shock absorber - which means the angel wouldn't change. The other difference was acceleration time - you had more time to accelerate. (also, are you using standard 1.5v alkaline batteries? Because I'm using 1.2v NIMH batteries) Think about the triangle of contact with the ground, and were the weight is positioned over it. The way you have it at the moment puts quite a bit of weight outside the triangle of contact.

Great work, I'm amazed how much you have built already! And I like the way you did the tracks too, it's very much like 42069...

Looks good, and I see you have made a punching mechanism too, I can't wait to see how well that works! Hmm... -
I wouldn't say they are that bad, they are actually quite good - especially when you consider the limited parts available in 1993. I would say they do, MOC does mean My Own Creation - and that should apply to anything. Was AFOL a word in 1983?
-
The driver will need a control panel with 1,000,000 buttons and levers, so you could make that your 6th...

I was looking through my Lego today, and I came across this: It's part of one of my oldest MOCs, which was originally the back of this Lego seat, which I built in 2009. So I was thinking 'do other builders keep their MOCs together this long?' And that's my question: what is the longest time you have ever kept a MOC together, and why? Oh, and if you're wondering, one of the reasons why I kept it is because it's part of some very strange illusions... (not to mention I don't need the bricks it's made of)
-
That's most likely because it's probably not the full version.
-
Great idea, but somehow it doesn't really seem that wacky... But then again, you haven't finished yet... So keep it up, and good luck!
-
Oh yeah, of course! So... It's a 4x4 octopus with teeth and a V8 engine... Cool!
-
More power!!!
-
This reminds me of one of my unused ideas... The Yeti tank! Are you going to put the Lego Yeti figure in it?
-
I was wondering when you would upgrade this set... And you certainly didn't disappoint! I like that you put a Technic figure in it, those guys are way underused. Great work, and I can't wait to see what you BuWizz-a-fy next!
-
I think so (and it should be), because it should still qualify as a separate function, even if it's connected.
-
I would say the one with more teeth, even though I don't know what it's for...
-
Yeah, okay, I have removed all the spoilers - except the one in the first post. You should be able to figure out why if you look at it again...
