    I have worked some more on the transmission placement as you can see below. Now I am searching for a 4 speed gearbox with reverse that can be easily remote controlled. My search has proved fruitless so far, so please leave any suggestions below. Here you can see the space i am working with (between the two extended axles). tim

    Progress looks good, still waiting for the mustang though . tim

    Wow all those cars look nice together, wish I could see them in person! tim

    The second one is awesome! Great little mechanism there. tim

    Okay thank you for the tip about the length. Ball joints is one possibility, though it would be different than the suspension in the real car. tim

    @Alasdair - Those might work, although the top part might hit on the bodywork/frame. @VK-318 - Unfortunately I think those pieces would fall apart under load. @Technyk32231 - 4L maximized the suspension travel and is also closer to the length of the link in real life. tim

    Looks like you get some nice performance out of it, nice work! tim

    I have more progress on the back axle! It seems as soon as I settle for one idea I think of another that is better! I will at least attempt to move on to the front axles. I do have one problem, there are no 4L beams with open holes at the ends. For now I am using 5L beams that over hang the end. If you have any ideas to solve this please let me know below! tim

    I agree, all the lines look great! How well does it drive with the L motor? tim

    Can you please become a movie man?! I would love to see this beauty in action. tim

    More progress on the frame. Since I changed wheels I have been reworking the rear axles yet again. Is it okay that they are not exactly identical to the real thing? tim

    Thank you for all of the kind comments! I realized that my scale was off (new scale is 1/9) so I have changed what wheels I am using and also gave the chassis a massive overhaul. I am thinking a composite studdless and studded frame will give enough support. As always, let me know what you think below! tim

    Love the blue, really sets it apart. I also really like how you filled in all the holes in the cab, well done. tim

    Okay thanks for the info, thats what I was thinking as well. tim

    I will once I get it out of the garage (in for the winter). This will definitely be a long project, which is why I posted here for the help. The only concern I have is that the buggy motor will stop and the power of the m motor will cause the buggy motor to spin the opposite way, making the differential useless. the workaround could be using a lockable diff like you said. tim

    Hello Eurobricks! I dont usually start WIP threads but given that I am venturing into unknown realms, I decided I could definitely use the help of the Eurobricks Community. As the title states, I am building a 1/8th scale fourth generation corvette. This is likely my last project before I go off to college and my "dark ages", so I would like to end with a bang. I have always loved the corvette line and ever since I started driving one I knew I would like to build a replica. To start I have a rough version of the frame. Using a blueprint I found, I constructed the frame to the correct scale. I think I will construct the frame out of studded pieces for maximum rigidity, still haven't decided about the body though. While developing the frame I have also been working on the rear axle. The original car has 5 link suspension in the rear, with both a regular spring and a leaf spring. In this photo you can see my progress. The wheel has slight camber in it to counteract the slight flex when the suspension is compressed. The leaf spring will be attached to the blue connector. Finally I have been determining the propulsion system. I know I would like have a 4 speed gearbox along with pf drive and steering. While thinking about solutions I came up with this idea. By coupling both a pf m motor and a buggy motor, I think it would combine the best of both motors; high speed as well as torque. The black gear coming off the differential would go directly into the gearbox after passing through a flywheel. Theoretically it would seem like it would work to me, though I dont actually know if it will or not. For all the experts out there, will this solution actually work? Thank you for taking the time to read my post and help me out! More progress will follow. tim

    I was really hoping to see that you would model the original suspension, glad to see that you did! I would love instructions for just the gearbox, are they available? tim

    Great looking car, it really follows the lines of the original well. Looks like it drives fast too! tim

    Such an amazing level of detail, too bad it doesnt have pf . tim

    Wow looks pretty cool, I would love to see a video. tim
  21. timslegos
    Great looking car! tim
  22. timslegos
    Great looking car, I love the color scheme as well. tim
  23. timslegos
    I love all the intricate details you included in sculpting the bodywork, well done. tim
  24. timslegos
    Those are magnificent looking buckets, great work. tim

    I love the shape of the moving truck, i hope to eventually see these in real bricks! tim
