Okay... perhaps not as fast as I wanted it to be ...... but quite a bit faster than the original. Here is Sheepo's Mustang with actual RC racing parts. Traxxas Titan motor to be exact. I had to create a new bracket, drive train, etc. to accommodate for the new rpms, power, etc. To be honest, the drivetrain could have actually used more power, it is the heavy back end that limits performance on this model. I will not post all the details here... that is too exhaustive. But I had done so elsewhere. http://mocpages.com/moc.php/412797 Check it out it you can.... hopefully it is an interesting read. I love feedback, especially constructive feedback, but if you have something scathing I totally don't mind, but please read the whole post on my mocpages before posting something too critical. I love it when people post stuff but haven't read or seen all the videos.... sometimes your question/concern/opinion will be addressed if you read/watch all that has been posted. Also, the post has some things that I think may be of interest to the Technic community... such as how to address the problem of short supply for red flex cables..... and perhaps some additional information as to why Sheepo is now building 1/10 scale instead of 1/8 scale. Dang.... I can't get the videos to post. It is so hit and miss with these things. I use the exact same procedure everytime.....Is there anything I am doing wrong? Grrr.... I guess that is a different post. If someone knows.... please feel free to fix the issue. -
Hey everyone, This is something that I have alluded to in the past here on the forum. I have been working on a Sheepo's Mustang with added power. I went with RC power, a 380 motor to be exact. This has been a fun project so far; not yet complete but at least the motor is in and runs great. Really, the test will be when everything is complete and the weight is heavier to see if everything runs as smooth under load. Although there are other ways to power-up a model, this one appealed to me because I love RC cars and have many stare parts. If everything runs fine under load, then this will be tons of fun to drive and probably the fastest version of Sheepo's mustang out there (although, yes, obviously not using solely Lego parts). Admittedly, if everything works as planned it will still be very hard to drive. I will use the Lego servo for steering, so I will have two controllers. Again, I get it that this will make the car hard to drive, but this is a project that I did more to see if it could be done as opposed to trying to make something functional. I have had a lot of fun with this so far, and still a little work to go. As can be seen in the video I kept the transmission which is probably not needed (and makes the video very loud!). But I just wanted it keep it anyways b/c it is such a cool part of the build. But, there is a good chance that eventually, if things all work out under load, I will take the tranny away for direct drive. When I get it all done I will include pics and a full write-up with details and another, longer video. And yes...... I know I need to switch that back axle out... the tire is a little wobbly.
