With plastic wheels it should lame-drift :D

Fast and simple model with big steering angle inspired by the Ken Block's Hoonigan Ford "Hoonicorn" Mustang. The scale is compatible with 42098 Car Transporter. The model is powered by the BuWizz 2.0 and driven by a single L motor. The car has a one whopping manual function - freely spinning turbos. It was build in approximately 5 hours. Hope you like it.

Made some changes to the exterior.

Ricer edition

Totally forgot about a video.

Thanks! Thanks! I used Subaru Libero as the base for the proportions.

Very compact Japanese microvan kei car. 9 studs wide, 24 studs long. It is powered by BuWizz 2.0 and single L-Motor. Free Stud.io model at Rebrickable

Made yet another set of modifications: The pull-back system swapped with the remote controlled system Front end swapped with the custom design Small changes to the design throughout the model Free Stud.io model at Rebrickable

Made a lot of the chassis improvements. Stud.io model at Rebrickable was updated.

Sadly I never managed to fit something into the c-pillar that wouldn't look ugly.

Remade the rear end with more accurate rear lights.

Big thanks for the instructions! Already on Rebrickable.

It works fine. Parts won't be damaged overtime. But it is considered as an illegal technique for Lego. More legal solution. But it looks much worse due to a gap caused by the studs at the edge.

Shaking isn't a problem really. But crashing head on into the wall is.

Stock 42160 Audi RS Q e-tron looked very unfinished to me. So I made some improvements. - Detachable Interior The most glaring omission of the original set. Some seats and a steering wheel make the model so much better. Free Stud.io model - Detailed Front End When the stickers don't cut it. More detailed front end made of bricks. Free Stud.io model Finished result:

I think everyone agrees that 42160 really lacks an interior. So I decided to make one! It is detachable. So you can ride the model with or without extra 60 gramms of weight. Free Stud.io model at Rebrickable

Just to use Wheel 20 x 30 Balloon Medium (6582). Because of the stem inside the deep part you can't efficiently use them with standart 3-pin hubs. Why exactly these old rims? Because of the much better fitment of the RC tires and better proportions for the wheel as a whole. If you want to use the 43mm Arocs wheels then sure. Just google WPL tires. They are very cheap ~68mm chinese tires. You can find them in wide variety of the tire treads. As mentioned above you can fit them on 43mm Arocs wheels but the tire will be slightly deformed. TBH there are a lot of options if you want to use RC tires.

The drive shaft isn't parallel with the arms in my particullar case. That's why I'm using spacers on the 2L axle. You are right. When the shaft is normally positioned the spacers won't be neccesarry.

The goal is to create a hub with the axle connection. The reduction is gone, yes Yes To better secure the CV joint in the correct place.

Thanks! Too bad I got 0 of them :D I actually used exactly these chinese hubs. Lego ones are too expensive to destroy for sure.

Made a custom wheel hub to use Wheel 20 x 30 Balloon Medium (6582) with the WPL RC tires. You need to open up Technic Steering Wheel Hub with Planetary Gear Reduction (46490) and cut Technic Bush 1/2 Smooth with Axle Hole Semi-Reduced (32123). Works surprisingly well.

Made slight adjustments to the rear end. Thanks! The model is wide enough to fit the blueprint of the real car =)
