  1. Very very impressive! I still can't believe it has 13 servos!
  2. That is true, and as a person of the age group, all the technic sets appeal. However because of that same factor, I cannon afford them :(
  3. It is very cool! The model looks so satisfyingly perfect! This is definitely on my to build list :)
  4. 20: 10 22: 6 12: 4 17: 3 2: 2 9: 1 Everyone did well :) The only problem is that people generally have a different concept of 'Wacky' which sort of makes the voting unbalanced. Good luck everyone!
  5. OMG! I'm willing to buy if the prices are good and the shipping is cheap :) Can we negotiate on a PM?
  6. This may sound crazy, but make the whole upper body of the car spin (the seating compartment, hood and rear) whilst the wheels and bumpers stay the same. That would be really really cool
  7. Just realised, does the chassis bend?
  8. Jim, since I just joined this year, What where all the previous contests and what where their themes?
  9. It's awesome! I'm just worried if someone decides to ram the engine, splitting the Strech into two :O
  10. yay i finished, ill just copy and paste my entry form here: Scorpion R5 Functions Everything is RC (except for scissor jaws which is rubber band powered) Wacky function? A giant grapple gun (UNLIMITED AMMO NYEH) Front scissor jaws which when bumped will snap into the vehicle that bumped it. After this is done the jaws will stay as a large frontal spike that you can ram into your opponents. Four wheel drive Front wheel steering All wheels are suspended Grapple gun has one motor that will let the dragon actually ‘eat’ the harpoon only it unleash it’s fury One cannon motor reels in the string and also unreels it while the other motor helps it so that the string won't curl inside Elevating grapple hook that also controls the spoiler. When the gun is pointed straight forwards the spoiler is up to increase driving performance, when the gun is using artillery mode the spoiler will form mudguards which will help stabilize the gun. Sliding cockpit roof The Scorpion R5 was initially a prototype racecar that was kept in a museum until the start of WW3 where the military decided to ‘borrow’ the vehicle. They moved the rear engine to the left cockpit so that they could install a hydraulic arm in its place which would hold a massive cannon from an anti tank gun that they later converted into a grappling gun. After the end of WW3 the military was no longer interested and decided to scrap the project and had it sold at an auction. The winner was a Chinese billionaire who had the rear cannon converted into a cannon as well as installing scissor jaws on the front of the vehicle. The billionaire finally decided that he would enter the Eurobricks wacky wheels race in hope for prizes, glory and fame! Scorpion's Racing tactics (Why the Scorpion R5 would win wacky wheels) Grapple and Cut Combo The scorpion grapples onto the vehicle and pulls it into it's blades which would destroy the other racer. Speed Leech Grapple the hook onto a faster vehicle and use their speed to your advantage, when finished use the Grapple and cut Combo to finish them off Blade Ram Ram into the enemy with your blades, destroying them Cannon spam Use your grapple gun to destroy the enemy shot after shot Artillery!!! Upgrade the string length. Camp at base and set the Scorpion on Arty mode. Destroy the enemy from far far away... Race cleanly Okay? I suppose? Scare them with your giant dragon Wow okay... Video: More photos :D And finally, the discussion topic ;) Thanks for reading :D Scorpion R5 for president! (lol) Good luck everyone :)

  12. WOAH! That is amazing! Never would have I thought of that :)
  13. Welcome! Great work, the styling is very neat but I love the idea of the test machine that the car runs on, it is ingenious.
  14. Agreed, honestly it would look so much better if the design was a Humvee or something a little more original :3
  15. Bodywork added! Now I added - a sliding cockpit - rear spoiler that raises when the cannon is lowered and comes down as a mudguard when it is pointing up But yeah, I'm justing looking for suggestions. Im thinking about getting proper equipment though this photo was taken really quickly, like most of my project updates :3 Maybe a white umbrella behind an led light? I found that normal lights will reflect to show the origin of light source which would ruin the photo :(
