  1. Welp.................I couldn`t make a video, but I managed to record the speed of the model - it got around 9 km/h / 6 mph (rolls easily still). Also, after the ”trip”, the model looks like this :))
  2. I converted the model to 100% Lego electronics. To fit the hub and the PF servo, I extended the chassis with 2 studs and the bodywork with 4 studs. It was also necessary to move the bodywork towards the back with 3 studs. The hub can easily be charged and even changed by taking out the 2x 2L pins with 1L axle connectors at the back and sliding the hub towards the rear axle. Also, I worked on the steering problems - the steering rack had too much play and also, due to the pieces that act as wheel-hubs and the steering range, the 6L links were popping out. I had put 2x 4L axles for guiding the steering rack and limited the steering physically from 1 stud to half a stud with the help of 2x 2L thin liftarms. Moreover, to keep the motor safe, as the only PF L motor I have (a MouldKing black L motor, which in theory is faster than the grey ones) smells like smoke, I switched the last 12t half gear with a 20t half gear to increase the torque. The gear ratio increased so from 1:1 to 1.67:1. While it seems insignificant, the new ratio made the model more speedy. I will try to make a video of the model today, as I am taking it out for a test run.
  3. Bricksafe maybe? Even if we should download the video first to be able to watch it, as Bricksafe doesn`t allow video previews, still better than nothing.
  4. Yeah...........first, I have to see what doesnt work :(
  5. I see...........so the shipping it is :/ I tested it with a 2S Li-Po..........after what you said, I will stick with it. Also, I understand why you cant use a better ESC at the moment.
  6. A better ESC wont hurt for sure, but in my case, might be the shipping. Did you tested all the RC Decks, including mine? If yes, it worked then?
  7. Yeah, but that doesn`t look like optic fiber to me :/
  8. The light ”cables” in the rear (look funny, like some transparent rigid hose). And in the front
  9. Great job! I really like the front suspension and the pretty detailed interior. Also, the colors and the stickers are interesting............does the stickers are custom?
  10. Also, now I am working on the semi-RC version of the RC-E buggy. And with this.....I really reached the limits of the Lego gears, as the model can`t run with them due to the structure itself :((( I will try to make it more sturdy, but I already ran out of 24t gears. But I am surprised how ”light” it is, even with the hobby electronics and its 4x4 driveline.........I didn`t changed nothing at the suspension and it behaves the same. So, considering the Lego version has around 1.5 kg / 3.30 lbs / 53 oz if not a little less, I will say this version weights about the same also. SCRAPPED (due to the extreme wear that the motor causes to the pieces)
  11. I just ”put” the Studio files of my brushless mod of the Sprite retro buggy made by Apachaihapachai on Rebrickable - https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-190287/Lixander A./sprite-retro-buggy-rc-mod/#details. Even if the file is actually on Bricksafe, the Rebrickable page has more informations and the instructions notes.
  12. No problem. Be careful to get the tires with the foam included, as the rubber is too soft and must be used with something inside.
  13. @2GodBDGlory while the WPL tires are perfect for the smaller 30.4mm D. x 20mm rim, the tires can be easily stretched to the 43.2mm D. x 18mm rims too. I put them this way because the tires tend to rub on the suspension arms, as there are stretched and can be deformed to one side (even with the foam inside).
  14. Great W.I.P.`s! @Dazzzy I recommend to switch to some buggy/ BuWizz motors for your WildOne replica, as someone else said. Also, @Aurorasaurus did you get a new personal speed record?
  15. Oke, I am waiting for the results of the tests. Also, yeah, the form factor is great. P.S.: You have to connect both JST ports to the receiver, as the one for the PU connectors also powers the receiver. The other one, which is for the PF connectors, only controls those connectors, it doesn`t power anything.
  16. I just tested the RC Deck and I found out that mine has the JST pins for the PF connectors dead, as it doesn't give any power to the receiver when I connect the battery and turn on the Deck. The other JST, which is for the PU connector is ok somehow. Does anybody with external receiver RC Deck experienced that?
  17. Nice! Maybe you can make a video with how it performs. Also, I really need to do a crawler sometime, just to put to use these 120mm RC tires :)
  18. Thanks! Yeah, that is what I thought also, but I am waiting for the moderators to confirm. Also, I will finish this for sure, if not now then in the next month.
