Wow, great video, adding the subparts of your bike when it is moving on the turntable looks just magical! How did you do that? Is that sequence made out of separately taken pictures?

Yeah, "Has a working voltage of 3.3 to 6 V" - what a pity. This is more oriented to something like Arduino or MicroBit, even the bigger one which would fit to the TECHNIC theme better.

I thought you were referring to non-LEGO RC cars with your price estimate, and compared to such cars, LEGO cars are quite customizable - or maybe that's the wrong word for it, maybe "reconfigurable" would be better?

I see, with half stud offset, of course than its possible.Thanks for the link, the stats look promising - I imagine many small cars with multiple of these driving one axle or more. I'd love to have a servo motor in that size and form factor.

@desert752: Great idea and great video! Any plans for a run on a frozen water surface? Our snow here in Germany is sadly practically gone, but I had some fun with my - now again motorized - truck. Unfortunately I didn't create a video with it working through the snow. @brunojj1: The costs will go down - or already went down - if you consider alternative motors (e.g. from BuWizz, which cost less than half of what you estimate for a - most likely used - RC buggy motor from LEGO) and reduced set price. But yeah, that's still not cheap, but if you already have the parts, it's a nice diversion. And the level of customization that's possible with it is outstanding.

Indeed, very interesting! But there are no pin holes in the direction of the drive axis, right? That is useful even on the PF M motor because you can just put it on an axle and "secure" it with at least one pin in the same direction, But the motor shown should be more easily integrable in vehicles. Do you plan to sell these in the future?

Really nice contest and many thanks to the organizers! Without it I might have never started my first turbo bike.

5: 10 16: 6 1: 4 6: 3 26: 2 27: 1 As many here I also think that six candidates in total are too less - especially with so many entries. It made it really hard to decide.

Looks a little like an RX-8 from the side (even more the first version). Good work with the C pillar!

Looks nice and muscular! Did you ever thought about making it a fastback, because this would look really great as fastback IMO (e.g. like Audi A7). I mean even if you would only elongate the roof lines into the rear with a very short rear end it would already look great. Curious for the next steps.

+1 from me!

Not at all! I'm glad you came back to the original look which looks great and which I like most. Your machine totally reminds me of a bike from GTA San Andreas - I think it greatly resembles either the BF-400 or the FCR-900. EDIT: Forgot about that: At first I wondered about that knob drive for your engine, but later understood why it's a really good idea: Because in reality it's also the engine that drives the wheels and not the wheels that drive the engine. And IIUC it still also works the other way round like in all existing LEGO TECHNIC motorbikes so a feature missing on a lot of motorbikes (LEGO sets, MOCs, mods, etc.).

Wow! This one looks extremely good! Glad you made it in time.

Looks like a beast of a machine! Looking forward to the next step.

Rethinking that, I now find the first version looks actually very good - despite the barrel. I need to check how this looks in reality on my table. @steph77, @JRS86 Thanks for providing the idea and the example pictures which are better than my imagination in that case.

Thanks for the hint! But 30139 is much bigger, even the smaller 2 x 2 x ? barrels are longer then the above combination IIRC. And it looks like a barrel, even in black.

Thaks for having a look. I also assumed COBI but browsed their sets to no avail. But maybe as @JRS86 is from the US, it's maybe a part from a US brand. Well, what a pity... @JRS86 thanks for the closeup pictures.

Indeed, that's a really cool and would have been a useful part. So sad this looks like i's not a LEGO piece because I then don't know where to get it from... CCing @Gray Gear, maybe he does know that piece (front of headlight from 42036 mod on top of page)?

Great, thanks!

Thanks for your support, finding that part would be great, because that part looks really useful not only for headlights but also exhausts and such. Well, I also did a search and browsed round bricks, round plates and cones on Bricklink, but maybe this is considered something else by LEGO.

@JRS86: Nice build and so much functionality for the scale! I also have a question about your modification of the 42036 B model: What's that black cone like part at the front of the headlight?

@Jim, @Milan: Just to be sure: If you consider the chassis picture for my entry too small, please let me know, I'll then replace the last picture by a 1024x768 version of the chassis picture.

@Seasider I like those fat tyres and that it's so low and long, and the golden shock absorbers make a great highlight. White and gold seem to work great together. I think I also need to get these harley tyres and rims for future bike projects. Say what parts are the small white top-rounded pieces in the pin holes of the panels at the front fork and the headlight assembly?
