So after watching the Top gear Aventador clip, I HAD TO make a fast low and simple as possible RC car. For this purpose i ditched all gears and diffs, and connected the rear RC motors diretcly to wheels via Cv joints. This way there is suspension crucial for good performance, especially outside where there are small bumps and salt. Even though the car is a bit short compared to original, it drives very well. The ungeared RC motors push all the power to rear wheels with no loss in gears. The suspension on all wheels uses vertical springs to save on space and keep the model simple and cool. The car has 2 PF lights powered by RC's third function for that cool factor. The underbody is simple and clean, like supercar's underbody should be. Notice the lack of usual traditional diffs and gears. A little PAINT.NET bluescreen play: And the usual video of the speedy thing:

Thanks, Dluders

3 M motors? I guess 2 drive and 1 is for steering. The wheels and tyres remind me of those from 8297, yet they seem a bit narrower. The controller is simillar to the small racers sets. Axles seem to use the mog's portal hubs. Nice to see Lego build a TT Heli seems to use new blades, but the swahsplate looks like its built without any special parts.

My advice. use harder rubber on rear to ease sliping :)

I see they redesigned the triangle parts, so they fit better now. I really like all the functions in the airplane, the rear tilting wings are great!

These are great! Nice ideas using the flex cable as a turntable by heli!

Here's the LDD file: LDD file There are unimog portal parts, ball joints, PP tyres and front A arms missing. Also insert 2 5L beams in front between the A arms.

Looks really good, very neatly built. I too wonder what body will come on top

These sure are crazy and fast! And thanko the exterrior power supply, they can have more motors, less weight for batteries and multiple external batteries for more current!

These two were built to race and play with for a future exhibition. Each one uses suspension in front and rear, the rear uses the unimog portal axles bearings and ball joints (thank you Dluders), while the front independent suspesnion shares the same spring to keep things simple. The rear also has a fake V 12 motor to keep the buggy interesting. The gear ratio is set, so the model isnt too slow, yet has enough torque for some offroading like books, etc... Here's a short video of these two in action LDD instructions comming soon!

Congrats! The new models will sure come in handy, as new parts and stuff! Be prepared for a massive DSL package :)

Nice details, colors and techniques used!

So much awesomness on one site! They fit great together, really like cibilings!

As promised LDD file: Download here www.brickshelf.com/gallery/zblj/RCTrophyTruck/trophy.lxf Why dont URL's work??? There are some pieces in rear suspension missing like CV joints and hubs, but all other stuff is there.

Interesting! Reminds me on those pneumatic oscilators.

Yes, it starts to jerk at longer range.

I peronally think its fine, I've seen much more advanced and better technic Moc's TBH. And he uses 9x gearing from M motor, which in best is 405 rpm x9 arround 4500 rpm.

Same thing by my module... I could use bigger wheels, but than the bodywork has to be higher and there is more stress on driveline. I am planning to make LDD instructions in few days.

I use RC motors, and the steering is done via RC unit. Thanks!

this is a little project I was playing with. The goal was to creat the smallest and lightest RC powered buggy with longf travel suspesnion and unleash it on some offroad terrain. Here is the result: It uses very long travel suspesnion in front and back: The suspension is very soft for maximum ride quality and to keep the truck's speed when going over uneven terrain. Because its only Rear wheel drive with a differential, its not capable as a trial truck, but it sure is fast! Video:

Big smooth and strong! I like it! Why didnt you use PF, but NXT instead?

Here you go:

Awesome small, instantly recognisable and fun model. Juts one critique. I think softer springs would work better!

What a unique and fast MOC! I love it!
