    Congratulations to winners! Glad, that one of my favourite entries by @Chawnis among them!

    In old versions of Buwizz FW turned off after every 10 minutes Buwizz app in background. So it was not really comfort to use Sbrick and Buwizz together.

    I don't choose words, I use my head. Compatibility with M motors (most popular motor in PF lineup) is more important than supporting 2x L motors from one port. More, if you have a contract with suppliers for V1 components for many years forward, you think twice before change that contract exchanging v1 to v2, especailly when V2 is not perfect exchange. More I can say, I heard a lot about broken V2 receivers (not broken wire), and no compains about v1.

    Looks like someone never changed wheels on his car

    There is no need to upgrade V1 fo TLG. It is easier for TLG and customers not to release sets with 2x L motors that work fro one output simultaneously. They keep things simple. V2 can give more current on load, and 9398 with new L motors was the only reason they released v2. Just a temporary salvation for Power Function. And after 9398, V2 receivers that left on factory stock was packed in other sets instead v1 receiver. LTG learn a lesson and then came back to V1 forgetting V2 as a bad dream.

    Or re-vote here at EB platform

    Fully agree with you Anto, and other guys here. I think it will be fair to qualify all entries to finals and Juri shold choose among all. And there is no need for many friends. You can just share this at your national forum board and ask to vote as patriot

    No, no EU resellers. And some photos of AT wheels. Compare with 62 and 68 LEGO wheels And exmaples for truck builders. @2LegoOrNot2Lego... Please don't buy it right now. I advise you to wait detailed review and take decision on buying then. For me wheels are perfect for my models: balanced, fit tight, soft rubber with foam but hard enough to hold weight of my models. My relation is still subjective. So, don't be blinded by promo pictures. This is custom product created to be compatible with LEGO rims. But it was not created according to LEGO rules and standards, not related to TLG.

    Shipping is from USA now, and soon will be available from Russia. If you are worrying about declared cost - we can discuss it in private chat. Everything is possible.

    thank you yes both available. I did not do photos with dirt grabbers yet

    Hi, yes. Sorry, I am late with presentation, but working on it. This is product I started to think of 2 years ago, but then decided to do it together with someone who have experince in subject. Then, together with RC4WD.COM we developed this tires based on their 1.9 and 1.55 tires design but special for LEGO wheel (62.2 mm) Generally, all tyres are quality alternative for rare 68 mm "Black cat" wheels, but for popular 62.2 mm wheel's rim. We did two types 1) All terrain - Dirt Grabber (BF goodrich all terrain copy) 2) Mud Terrain - Rock Crusher (BF goodrich mud terrain copy). This is kinda risky for me and RC4WD that belived me, but told them LEGO Technic guys will love tires. If not - I have to buy all by myslef. Tyres can be bought at RC4WD.COM and soon at my site EBRICKS.RU with the same price and shipping worldwide.

    who are another 2?

    IMHO, no real jumps possible with this speed (one BM + buwizz). Only if it's a "SKI jump" - jumping to downhill surface or falling from the high step. I have doubt, that one of the "jumpers" was speeded up before jump to fly far Unfortunatley rules are not covering many aspects of possible cheating. Tank is not a car, as writte in rules.

    Guys, what's wrong with speed? There is no such rule, as I remember. This model is one of the smallest and lightest here, according to size of the wheels. So it looks much quicker than larger models on the video. Even if it is speeded up, this can't help car jump longer... another moment, car accelerated by hand or speeded up driving down the hill - it will jump much far than car accelerated by motor only. And watching videos of other contestants that jump far, I am not sure that some of them accelerated naturally by buwizz and motor only. Video editing and choosing right camera angle can hide some jump cheats.

    Thank you. Stable picure is a half succes of the video. Unfrtunately, many telented builders can't do good presentations, becauwe they don't have enough filming experience and equipment (sadly expensive). So, gimbal cost its money when you are regular LEGO builder. I usually watch Sariel and his equipment, then follow him Well, I must say that driving downhill is not a big cheat here, but cheat. The place where I have to film is hilly with little horizontal surfaces. Car can go uphill well, because I increased gearing from 1:1 (work good on horizontal surface and drifts like insane indoor. ) to 12:20. In some footages it drive uphill, but of course not such effective as on horizontal or downhill surfaces. Again, thank you for comments. I dont't like idea of judging contestants by flying/jumping, so I prefer not to concentrate on jumping. I do video as I usually did... And also buying BuWizz is a strong barrier for many desingers to enter contest. It't like contest among clients. Since Buwizz is not cheap (but it cost its money) these list of Buwizz buyers is shorter that it can be...sadly Watch another models closely, there are very good among them, that deserve your attention. https://buwizz.com/buwizz-fast-car-competition/

    That's my entry for Buwizz fast car contest. The model is a mix of supercar and offroad truck. No, Lamborghini Urus is a bad example. I have heavy duty suspension of Baja truck and rear wheel drive. Body type (not design!) is inspired from Ferrari GTC4 Lusso - long Shooting Brake. I have only one seat - driver's. Other side is reserved by Buwizz. There is a place behind the driver, but long travelling rear axle with Buggy motor need a lot of space in the back. Specs Propulsion motor - RC Buggy motor Steering motor - Servo RC and power - Buwizz 2.0 Front independent supsension with postive caster angle and negative camber in the lowest point (different length suspension arms) Rear live axle suspension Fake winch and roof lights Brown "leather" luxury seat and dashboard (that's luxury Trophy truck) openable doors and bonnet Front suspension arms are 5L and 6L, so in the lowest point frone suspension have negative camber angle. Don't know if it help or not, but it is a fact. In addition, postitive caster should help in straight fast driving. But it is not. Thank you for watching.

    Lada itself is a trash car (hello from 70s') but have strong army of fans, in loving hands it can be a masterpiece. Thank you for building Lada following all the details of original project, instead another sport-, super-, hyper car. big like from Russian LEGO and LADA community

    OMG, gaps, holes... I'll skip it and save wallet for 2h sets.... its a sarcasm

    Very good work. Hope, one day, you will get Buwizz. One can replace 2 LEGO Battery blocks and 2 receivers....

    Very detailed presentation with history of creating and upgrading from Lucio's inspired truck to Trial winner Still can't believe such huge construction can handle truck trial heavy transmission load.

    Guys, we need alternative app for Gamepads! Please don't reject this app! Keep working!

    Love your truck. Nice and clean design. Strongly advice you to reconnect shock absrobers.

    Attika already posted info about fitting these wheels... 1) buy wheels from Aliexp......look for 1:10 drift/touring wheels 2) increase middle hole slightly for LEGO axle (axle should fit but very tight, not easy) 3) insert 12Z bevel gear from the inside and glue it. Check this video To follow the topic, I should say, that Buwizz gives enough power even to drift with Rubber tires (for touring) like on my video. There are also plastic drift wheels that are more slippy and easy to drift even with regular 9V power source. But for me, these wheels are, first, very aestectic and realistic. They have realistic disk offset and have enough space inside to fit brake calipers (fake of course) and even portal gearing (not 9398/8110 part of course)

    Why not? 1 step to controllable drift
