    I don't really care for this new school style of sculpting models with beams and pin connectors over flex axles and cheesy connections. Lego would never do something like this because when you build a model from Lego, they want it to look exactly like the same model built by a different person.

    Love it! This makes 2 cool new gearbox ideas that I've seen this week with the other being a left/right push button hog changer with r-n-d shifter.
  3. Meatman
    You definitely have some interesting connections used to capture the real car's shape.
  4. Meatman
    That is cool. Love it.

    I am surprised that you are getting a single shock per axle to hold up all of that weight.

    Oh, I didn't know that it was telescopic. In the video with the door mechanism, It's placement looks too far back and perhaps a bit low when compared too where the door hinge is at.
  7. Meatman
    Looking good. I think your steering wheel placement is unrealistic though. It looks like it is in the middle of the door.
  8. Meatman
    Looks great! Agree about the wheel arches though.
  9. Meatman
    That is cool.

    I've been trying very hard to like this model, but it just doesn't look very appealing to me. Lego should have done a proper modern style stand alone anniversary model similar to this.

    What ever happened to the person who won the last futuristic contest? Weren't they supposed to have a set made of their model?
  12. Meatman
    I didn't realize how many bevel gears that you had in the steering.
  13. Meatman
    Yes, that is why each model has it's own thread. I don't think that it would be fair to Jeroen if you compare his model to another model in his own thread and possibly say that his model doesn't quite shift as smoothly, the suspension is weak, or the chassis isn't as stiff, which could lead people to say "Oh, I am not going to pay 20 euro for that when I can build another model that has free instructions" From what I've seen, Paul and Jeroen both had very different goals when they each designed their models. I've built Paul's Scorpion and while it's gearbox system isn't quite as complex as Jeroen's, it does work flawlessly. Now Jeroren has more going on in this model, so if something didn't quite work perfectly every time, I would be a little more lenient rather than just say "Paul's works better".

    Hmm. Is it really necessary to start a war between builders over who designs the better models? And why choose the crowkiller model that has free instructions? Why not compare Jeroen's model to another one that is charging money for them?

    I am going to guess and say that it is under the yellow liftarm in this video?
  16. Meatman
    Do you have a video for the model? I am interested in seeing more pictures of the model with the doors open, hood open, etc.

    It's not too bad, but probably a waste of time putting it on the ideas website considering that Lego has already released several Porsche sets, so this isn't really the type of new IP that they are looking for.
  18. Meatman
    Out of curiosity, what would be considered "flash"? Like an RC gearbox?
  19. Meatman
    Looks like you had an awesome experience.

    Contest winners don't get automatically added?

    I wonder why the box art for the extreme adventure/explore is so very different from the display model? One would think at a toy show that they would have everything the same as to not confuse the attendees.
  22. Meatman
    I am one of the few that cannot stand the art of liftarms and pin connectors over flex axles. I say art, because to me this isn't really building and is instead a form of "sculpting". This style reminds me of aluminum pie pans and macaroni necklaces. But overall the car does look very nice.
  23. Meatman
    While this is a good car, The Lego company would never release a model that uses what they would consider a highly illegal building procedure in the suspension. I really wish the suspension was something that Didumos69 could have engineered to avoid having to use this torsion bar method. In my opinion, this is the most discouraging aspect of the entire model.
  24. Meatman
    Agree.
  25. Meatman
    You have your engine positioned in front of the front axles. Are you saying that that green box is the engine? That looks like some type of cushioning for impact. I can't imagine a race car having the engine sitting all the way in the front. That seems dangerous.
