Hi Eurobrickers! I'm back with the new MOC - this time it's a new Mammoet SK 6000 crane! Current configutation is Mammoet SK6000 + Mammoet SK350 Fixed jib (which is compatible in real life) Original ring crane was just recently released by Mammoet in Netherlads! This is fan work. For built used only open source resources from WEB! Ok, also this MOC was built with unofficial consulting with Mammoet engineers, because it was a lack of the info in WEB, so I have to ask some thiings to match the real masterpiece crane. UPD: I was invited to the real crane's world presentation on last (or prevois) Friday to the Netherlads with my Crane MOC to show it at the mass media day near the real SK6000! Unfortunately I was on vacation that time and lost this once in a lifetime chance.. How it works: Centered counterweight is fixed and non movable, around it there are two train racks (imne are almost 180 degrees), so the crane is rotating arong the ballast. Real SK6000 does not have it, but from SK350 I took the jib which was surprisely fix and not luffing - it has no adjustments. Machine is able to lift 6000 tons and lift 2000 tons at the lenght of the footbal field from the basis !! The main feature of this crane is that it does not use winch to operate the boom - it uses special mechanism with chain, so I implemented this also :) Please enjoy the video first: Built with genuine Lego technic parts + 3rd party strings + 2 BuWizzBrick 's. I refused using trixbrix curved rails because found a solution with genuine lego parts. The model has 7500 parts which makes it the biggest MOC in my career! It has 8 L motors for smooth operating, powered by two buwizzes. Crane weights 8,3 Kg excluding power sources (battery boxes) and counterweights!! And the height is about 2.3-2.4 meters. More images are available: https://bricksafe.com/pages/Aleh/mammoetsk6000 Building instructions already available. Built took 1760 steps, which required a lot of effort to prepare it. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-195537/OleJka/mammoet-sk6000/#details

Hello Eurobrickers! I am finally ready to present another long overdue model I built last year: a VW Beetle Baja Bug. This one was built for the 2025 Buwizz camp's buggy race, which was held on a grass track with artificial wooden ramps to make the models jump. The rules stated the model had to have max 2 drive motors, and had to be an RWD buggy. I quickly settled on the idea of a Baja bug, because I find their looks pretty cool, and the bug shape seemed light weight with most of the heavy components in the back, which sounded like a good idea for jumping. Furthermore, I wanted to try building a trailing arm suspension using two Buwizz motors (which for me are the only meaningful way to use the buggy / Buwizz motors in an off-roader, due to their awful form factor). It took me quite a while to make a proper video of it, because I was using my phone both to drive and to shoot the video at the same time, and I had to develop an app that can do both simultaneously, and integrating video stabilization got more difficult than I expected, but finally got it working.. Anyway, let's see that obligatory performance video :) Features Independent front suspension with bug-like portal arms and positive caster angle Independent trailing arm rear suspension Rear wheel drive Complete interior with two seats As you can see, bug-style exterior :) The two key components I needed to develop was the trailing arms and the front portal arms. The rest sounded simple, the abdomen (rear section) seemed like a good place for the Buwizz unit, which left most of the center empty for seats and interior. Trailing arms For the trailing arms, using the output of the Buwizz motors is unfortunately not possible, as it does not provide enough torque for off-roading on grass with such a heavy model; it would shut down the Buwizz unit almost immediately. So I had to add gearing, which is challenging for two reasons: the tightness of the space, and because it is hard to mount stuff onto the motor in a solid way, so that the wheels don't fall off under extreme use. Furthermore, my first tests with 12:20 gearing (from the fast output) showed that it is just not enough; the Buwizz unit still kept shutting down, so I had to use 8:24, which is even more problematic due to the size of the 24T gear not fitting into a 3 stud space. After a lot of juggling with potential wheel hubs and connectors, I came up with this construction. The good part is that it does look like the leg of a bug :) Front suspension For the front suspension, I did not want to use a regular (5 stud tall) independent one, in order to have good ground clearance in the grass, and to make it look like a real beetle bug, which typically has a portal setup, with the lower A-arm raised, which again makes it look like a bug's leg. So I started experimenting if something like that could be done (using a wheel hub), and I managed to come up with the following solution. The trick here is that the lower arm's pivot is shifted (by preserving parallel movement), in order to be able to raise it. Furthermore, I used dual steering links, because the arms are 7L and the steering links are 6L, this way avoiding toe in/out, and having a tight steering response. Also, I incorporated the steering motor into the axle in order to be able to add a positive caster to the whole axle. Chassis The complete chassis looks like this. The front axle actually rests completely on the steering motor's face, form-locked onto it, while the motor is fixed to the rest of the chassis at an angle. The trailing arms are mounted onto a 3x19 frame, which forms the backbone of the chassis. I added a frame to the rear to imitate the shape of the abdomen of the bug, and to hold the Buwizz unit. Exterior and interior As for the exterior, I intended to use large panels and simple shapes to keep the weight down. The curved panels proved to be very useful; in combination with flex axles they form a nice roof / back that curves in two directions. Unfortunately, most panels (and the rim) are not available in many colors, so I decided to use a two-color scheme; black with an accent color. I experimented a lot with the colors digitally, and I basically liked two variants that were buildable: yellow and lime accents. And since I have virtually no lime inventory, I settled with yellow; I think it's an okay color for a bug. Furthermore, the lights are instrumental, both at the front and on the roof, to get a good bug-like looks :) As for interior, I could squeeze in two reasonably sized seats, a steering wheel and middle console. I would have liked a different seat color, for example blue, but exactly the one 135 degree connector that would be required is not available. In blue. In 2025. No comment, Lego. https://bricksafe.com/files/gyenesvi/vw-beetle-baja-bug/renders/Beetle Buggy 2.png/800x600.png More pictures are available on Bricksafe. Building instructions are available on Rebrickable. About the race... As I said, the race track contained wooden ramps for jumping. The previous year, we have examined the track, and it had ramps about 30 cm tall. Many of us were skeptical about the idea, and some builders made tests at home, and concluded that it seems quite impossible to build a buggy with two motors that has enough torque for the grass, but at the same time it is fast enough to jump from 30 cm ramps. Also, 30 cm seemed too much for lego creations. So we were expecting that the ramps would be lowered to about 10-15 cm. But no, the race was held on the 30 cm ramps. As a consequence, many models fell apart on the ramps, including mine, and could not finish the race (I believe two buggies finished, a super light one, and a fairly slow but stable one). The weak spot on mine was the front suspension. Due to the tricky portal arm build, it is not completely form-locked; the lower pin that goes into the wheel hub can detach under extreme stress of the 30 cm jumps. To be fair, I thought it would fall apart on the first jump, but it did hold out for quite a few, and jumped better than I expected (getting the model to go straight onto the ramps at high speed was quite a challenge though, even with this solid steering). Fortunately, the suspension never detached during filming the video, so it is strong enough for regular off-road terrain. This year we will have the same race, but this time 4 motors are allowed for faster models (to be honest, I voted against it). I wonder how the race will turn out, those models are going to be quite a bit heavier as well, so I am expecting even more stuff breaking.. with higher speed comes the need for precise control as well, which Lego (and Buwizz) is not great at. Let me know how you like it! Cheers, Viktor -
So, after a while I managed to finish the XS buggy, the smallest buggy that I built to date. It`s main advantages are the size and the possibility to run with 5x different gear ratios, like most of the hobby RC buggies. The XS buggy features: 2x BuWizz motors for the rear drive and 1x PU L motor for the steering, both powered by 1x BuWizz 3.0 hub independent suspension at rear and front with a total of 4x hard 6.5L shocks detachable bodywork and wing You can find the Studio file on Rebrickable. Also, it`s rear chassis frame is used in some other models, such as the Baja buggy.

A 1/30 LEGO Technic replica of an American Heavy Duty Truck with Steering Axle Trailer. Features drive, steering and tri-axle trailer with fixed or steerable axle. Available in different motors configurations (Manual, PFS, Control+) in a single download, all upgradable. Specs : Model inspiration : Western Star and International Truck models Dimensions : 24cm (52.5cm with trailer) x 8.5cm x 11cm Øwheel : 37mm Three versions available : Manual, Power Functions or Control+ Rear wheel drive with a L-motor and differential Small turning radius steering with PFS Servo motor or Control+ L motor, rack and pinion Battery source : PFS+Buwizz 2.0 or PFS+2.4GHz battery or C+ and C+hub or C+ and Buwizz 3.0 On manual version, the steering operated by Hand of God on the top of the cab All versions are included in a single package and are upgradable from and to each version Middle axle with trailing arm suspension to avoid losing traction on uneven ground Tri-Axle Trailer with fixed or automatic steering axle using linkage and a locking pin Landing gear on the trailer with friction gears Openable doors and hood (no fake engine) See in action : Design Process : This model was created for a Truck Exhibition in France to show the possibility of LEGO Trucks in a functional and fun way, either manual or motorized. So I started designing the truck to be the smallest possible with the two motors, that is why I chose the 37mm tire to fit all electronics needed. Plus they have the perfect tire ratio for Heavy Duty Truck looking. Because of the tight space, only the rear axle is powered, and the rack and pinion of the steering is placed in front of the front wheels. Speaking of the steering, I wanted to maximize the turning abilities so I design in a way the range of motion is maximal without colliding with anything, which contributes a lot to the playability. After a few tests, I noticed that the truck could get stuck on small bumps because the central axle was lifted and the rear wheels lost contact with the ground. So I added a rudimentary suspension system in the form of a trailing arms on the central axle, which absorbs bumps that could otherwise cause the rear wheels to lose traction. On the Trailer, I wanted to experiment with steering axle trailer for a while so I was inspired by the Mini Scania R420 and Steering Trailer by TechniMocer which I reused the functioning principle : a lever connected to the saddle operate the trailer axles. Nevertheless, I have improved it with a smaller height for the mechanism, enabling to have the trailer near the rear wheels without any collision. Plus increasing the range of motion of the steering primarily due to extended width. The Truck / Trailer articulation can achieve ±75°. An other functional addition is the locking pin mechanism which enables to choose between two mode of steering for the trailer : fixed or steerable. Simple but effective, as it can be difficult to drive backward the trailer with steering axle mode. For the details, there are quite standard with interior, seats, lights, mirrors and exhausts. The doors can be opened as well as the hood but reveal nothing (no fake engine). The most difficult parts was to reproduce the original form of the cab in a clean look with has many variation in width. For instance the chassis is in 9/11 stud wide, while the cab is only 8 stud, the grill 6 and the mudguard 10, so as you assume there is a lot of half-stud offset inside. I added a minifig inside because I find it funny, even if it is a bit small for the truck (1/43 instead of 1/30). The Rebrickable model do not include it, but the cookie and mug is here !

For the "Fast car competition" organized by BuWizz, I have done that: For this contest, you have to make a vehicle with suspensions, and do a video showing it doing at least one jump. Of course, the MOC must be powered by a BuWizz! For the steering, there is a servomotor. The driving is done by two L motors, with a 1:1.8 ratio. So the buggy has a correct speed, and enough torque to be driven on dirt, sand... It is fully suspended. The front is an ordinary system. But for the rear, I couldn't do independant suspensions (not enough compact) or a suspended axle (because as the motors are in the chassis, when you accelerate the axle tilts). So I done an "amost suspended axle". The liftarms thin 5L have an effect of anti roll-bar. I have tried to do a light design. Thus, the MOC weighs 460 grams. -
One BuWizz, it's good. But two, it's better, because you can make MOCs having 8 functions! I have already done a full RC compact excavator, but with LEGO IR receivers. I wanted do make another excavator without the gearbox allowing to choose between the rotation of the arm and the pneumatic pump. Furthermore, the M motors were just enough powerful to move the arm. On this new excavator, it's different. I tried to make the mecanic as compact as possible. And the arm is controlled with more powerful motors: 1 L and 1 XL. So now you can... dig on gravel with a GoPro attached on the arm, and the motors bear that easily! There is a good speed and so much power to do anything you want! For the design, I tried to cover the maximum and I kept a color scheme close to the one of my previous excavator. To switch on the BuWizz of the turret, you need to open the part behind the cab. The hood is also openable, but there is nothing interesting to see. ^^ So the functions are: -> Controlled by the bottom BuWizz: Left track (M motor) Right track (M motor) Blade (M motor) LEDs (of the cab and the arm) -> Controlled by the BuWizz of the turret: Turn table (L motor) 1st part of the arm (XL motor) 2nd part of the arm (L motor) Bucket (M motor) You have certainly noticed that there are shock absorbers. It's for the tension of the tracks. The LEDs: And the video! The BuWizz are in Fast mode and I used the app BrickController, done by @imurvai. It's perfect for this MOC!

Hello Eurobrick ! Short introduction to my latest MOC : a wheel dozer. A wheel dozer is basically a big blade to push material mounted on 4 (or more) wheels mostly used in mining industry. It is a quite simple vehicle I suppose this is one reasin it is not built a lot in Technic. By the way, I’m a bit late to post this, it is already more than a week old. What’s inside? Propulsion is made through a PF-XL motor placed at the rear end of the truck with a fake L6 engine. The vehicle is 4 wheel drive with a differential on both front and rear axle, plus the rear axle is pendular. A servomotor is used for steering in a simplified technic than the one used on set 42030 (Volvo L350). The front blade is also operated by a single Servomotor which accomodate the upper-lower positionning easily, and intermediate position can also be reached thanks to the use of the BuWizz controller. (sorry last picture is a bit dark I will regenerate it later) Additionnal info on this MOC and some other general info on wheel dozer on my blog at : https://superk-technic.com/wheel-dozer/ Thank you for reading !

Hello Eurobrick. Let me introduce you my "holidays' MOC" : the tracked loader. It is the merging of a traditionnal articulated wheel loader and the tracks I build few months ago for the Cossack. In the main lines: it is a 4x4 vehicle with a steering by articulation and a rear pendular axle. The bucket is elevated by a pair of linear actuator and tilted by a single actuator. The rear hood is openable and reveals a functionnal mini V6 engine and an easy access to the BuWizz. The loader is equipped with a minimalistic cabin (seat and fake steering wheel) and has access ladder and platform with handrail. All the images are available on FlickR There is 4 PF-M motor used in this MOC, one for each function: – Propulsion – Steering through two mini-LA – Elevation of the bucket through two LA – Tilting of the bucket through on LA All the functions are controlled through a single BuWizz. Special note regarding the engine : The V6 engine has been designed once all the motor and Buwizz were installed. As a consequence, only a 5×8 studs hole was available. The V6 engine fits in this space and is functional. See the video here below for more detail. Thank you for reading ! If you're interested, the complete review of this MOC is available on Superk-Technic.com -
I started making a regular Renault Twizy... Twizy 3 by James Tillson, on Flickr ...but with the buwizz and a buggy motor I switched to Twizy F1, Twizy F1 4 by James Tillson, on Flickr Shame its not yellow but the yellow #4 connectors are more expensive than white ones. -
Hello! I would like to share with you my new work. GAZ "Tiger" (GAZ-233036 or SPM-2). It's russian 4x4, multipurpose, all-terrain infantry mobility vehicle manufactured by GAZ, first delivered to the Russian Army in 2006. Primarily used by the Russian Federation's armed forces. Specifications: Four-wheel drive Independent suspension Open all doors, hood and sunroof The steering wheel in the car is synchronized with the steering Row 6-cylinder engine 4 L Motors for Motion Servo motor for power steering M motor to winch drive Power and control implemented by BuWizz 1.0 Weight - 2.3 kg Length - 50 cm Width - 20 cm Height - 20 cm Description: The model is executed on a scale of 1:11. The project was started in the middle of 2016, but it can be considered completed only now. The model is based on the GAZ-233036 armored vehicle, GAZ Tiger or SPM-2 (special police machine), which can be found in the special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in particular in the OMON. In the process of construction, the main question was how to force a model that weighs more than 2 kg to go and not crawl like the Lego trial trucks, and indeed most large models weighing more than 1,500 kg. To the aid came BuWizz, the power of which was enough to allow the Tiger to move with the speed of SUVs from the Lego of medium size, while overcoming small obstacles and not adding weight (hello to the big Lego battery packs). Each axis is driven by separate pairs of L motors with a gear ratio of 2.8 through the open differentials in front and rear. For the steering is responsible servo motor, running synchronously with the steering wheel in the cabin. In the front bumper there is a winch, powered by an M motor. All remote control is via BuWizz 1.0 In the cabin, the front instrument panel is worked out, there are two seats in the front and two benches in the passenger compartment. The color scheme is printed on self-adhesive paper More photos: Now I am modifying the model in the Lego Digital Designer. Maybe someone has something to like, what would be worth changing or adding to it? In my plans to make several modifications. -
Completion date:21/02/2018. scale:1/9 Size:34units/width25units/high13units. Power:2xL Motor 1×Servo Motor. Power/Control: BuWizz Number of parts:765pcs. Weight:857g. I saw it on YouTube, although it was a few years ago, but it still looks cool. Lazareth's Wazuma V8F Matte Edition is Ferrari 3.0L V8 engine that's capable of delivering 250 horsepower, a handlebar-controlled six-speed sequential gearbox from a BMW M3, and four made-to-measure horizontal shocks made by EMC. The V8F quad weighs just 650 kg (1,433 pounds) and benefits from electric power steering, modified 18-inch Momo (+Power) rims with slick tires and Brembo calipers on four 324mm disc brakes. It's said to incorporate the injection system of two sport bike engines, electronically-controlled by a Sybelle system. There are eight intake funnels for 4 exhaust outlets and a huge cooling radiator. -

I have started a pair of small Honda sports cars, a 1964 S600 and a 2015 S660. Both models are 1:8.8 scale but still pretty small, the S660 is only 48 studs by 21. S600 has two L motors used as trailing arms (similar to real car). I'm going to soften the front wishbone suspension as I would like it lean more in to corners. The final version will probably be black. The S660 has 2 L motors geared up 3:1 in the video but full power eventually makes the diff gears fall out. It has double wishbone all round with a floating diff. I have 2 BuWizz now so expect to see a race when they are finished.

This started as a mini GT40 but decided it wanted to be something else... It has a buwizz and a L-motor geared up 1:3. I'm going to make one more with a changed livery and then maybe try the GT40 again.

This is my entry for BuWizz Fast Car competition. Features: - RWD with differential - Front independent suspension with positive castor - Rear live-axle suspension with long trailing arms - RC/Buggy motor for propulsion - Servo-motor for steering - BuWizz 2.0 I wanted to make a fast and agile car that will provide some real "turbo" experience of driving. The appearance is much inspired by BJ Baldwin's trophy truck. I recorded video in the last days of March, when we still had a lot of snow and it was a bit of luck to find some clean place to make video. I am still learning how to make good videos and this was a nice experience. If you like my entry, you are welcome to vote:) https://buwizz.com/buwizz-fast-car-competition/ -
Hello Guys, Today I would like to present my first moc here, which was built for the Buwizz fast car competition. I have been back to Lego for about 2 years now. I have built a few Mocs, and mods, but I have not found them good enough to show to others. :) I hope you like this little buggy, let me give you some more information about the build. I was half way with a build when I heard about the competition, so I decided to change that according to the rules. I usually build with more motors, so the challenge for me was to make the model efficient. I started with a 4wd version, with differential on both axles. The main feature was the independent suspension with small pneumatic pistons as shock absorbers. I started to test this solution on Agrofs buggy modded by Kbalage. It worked well, so I decided to use this solution in this build to help the stability of the car after the jump. As you see, I had to give up the 4wd setup, as the single rc buggy motor even with Buwizz 2.0 was just not enough to do the job. I have some pictures of the old version, and I have a plan to put 2 motors in it, will post that, once its built. So I decided to reduce the friction by eliminating all the gearing, so the rear wheels are propelled from fast output. I hope you will like it Guys, let me know what you think. :) An earlier version with 4WD: At the very beginning: Suspension test: Here is the final video: A few photos: -
For the BuWizz "Fast Car Competition" I build the "SIXeight", a reasonable fast six-wheeler powered by - of course - a BuWizz. Functions: Propulsion 1 Buggy motor Steering 1 PF Servo Features Double wishbone suspension (front axles) Live axle suspension (rear axle) Fake calipers (front wheels) Fake V8 Next the video: Have fun watching! And if you don't mind don't hesitate and vote for me - I would really appreciate that ;) -
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. -
Hi everyone, This is my first MOC to be published here on the forum: a small/compact rally hatchback. It is not a copy of an existing car, but the front is inspired by modern Audi's. The design parameters that I want to achieve include the following: Fast drivetrain Lots of torque (the car must be able to drive on tarmac, dirt and sand) An average scale of 1:12.5 Front and rear independent suspension Front and rear PF lights Servo steering with small turning radius Buwizz 2.0 to increase performance (located under the bonnet for better weightdistribution and easy acces) A light and rigid chassis Openable doors and bonnet A realistic/clean interior (no visible moters/wires/chassis beams) A gapless body, using rather pannels than beams Drift (on sand) It contains 100% LEGO parts (excpet BuWizz) with a total of 1178 parts. I am very happy with the result. Here are some pictures The Buwizz with easy acces... Clean interior... Openable glovebox... Rear suspension... Front suspension... The underside shows the chassis, wires and motors... Annd finally a little video to demonstrate the fucntions and the oudoor performance. Building instructions/partslist: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-14441/T-Lego/technic-rc-audi-rally-car-with-buwizz-20/#comments Hope you like it, comments, criticism and questions are welcome! -
This is my latest BuWizz creation, it is a remake of my first and worst MOC-video, using a s-brick in the old one, the buwizz allows it to be even smaller. It has 2 buggy motors, and 4 rubber tracks, in this picture the upper track is powered by a buggy motor on each side, the lower track is running free, but the tracks mesh extremely well and they will not slip at all, so it can drive on either side, however this side up gives the best ground clearance, and the least risk on damage on the connectors or buwizz, also note the 4L halfbeams in front of the connectors, a pure shield.. it also has 2 little black bumpers, wich help it pick a side when it lands on the front, they help it roll, in stead of "eating" the floor it can work with the 24t-12t and 20t-16t gear combinations, in the 1:2 gearing this thing is extremely fast for its size and hard to drive, but it is doable, for this i use the brickcontroller app @imurvai created and a usb gamepad with OTG-cable, without this setup i was not able to control it in any way, even with this i hard to learn to drive with lower gear settings (slow buwizz settings are just not an option for me, sorry). It has single bogie torsion bar suspension, which does.. very little, but i think it was a nice little addition, it also functions fine without them. So here is a video of it in action: and just asking: is this thumbnail too much click bait? it actually does the climb, but... well check the video ;) I hope you like it! -
The T-90S Bhishma was essentially identical to the Russian T-90. It was given a more powerful engine to cope with the new armour and equipments, a jamming system a laser warning receivers, while still relying on a powerful 2A46M 125 mm smoothbore main gun with a thermal sleeve and muzzle detector that can fire a whole range of ammunitions including HE, Frag, HEAT, APFSDS and ATGMs which were developed in India. The improved night sights allowed to detect and engage targets at 700m to 1100m in pitch black darkness, fog or sandstorms while on the move and the gun is fully stabilized. The armour protection level rests on the hardened steel hull of the T-72 with inserts of composites in the turret front, and a layer of ERA bricks (KONTAKT 5) explosive armour. Secondary armament comprises a roof-mounted 12.7 mm and coaxial 7.92 mm machine gun. Mobility is assured by two planetary gear boxes for the transmission and two final drives, plus a snorkel allowing 5m of immersion with a 20 min. preparation. The limited weight of the tank 45 tons, compared to the Arjun allows this tank to be air-transported and compatible with most bridges in India. However The Indian T-90S didn’t have the Shtora-1 countermeasure suite, and the locally-built model is equipped with sights from Thales (France) and the Kanchan composite armour developed locally.(tank ECYCLOPEDIAA ) Manual tiny tank gun elevating mechanism mechanism size：9X6X2 studs -
This started out as something called Speed Demon, but I renamed it Drift Demon after building the actual MOC and driving it. The bodywork didn't materialize, but the car did. This project made me realize how far I have to go before I can make a decent bodywork. Powered by: 2 L-motors geared up 3:1 1 servo motor for steering 1 BuWizz unit. The rear suspension is a dragged axle, and each side is mirrored at 180 degrees to save space. The L-motors move with the suspension. Front suspensions is independent. Here is the chassis, it has some elements missing that were added in the rear to stiffen up the frame: A shot from the underneath, although the actual build has some changes: And a video:

Here are my 1960s Corvettes. 1961 C1, 1963 C2 and 1969 C3. They are all based on this simple buwizz powered chassis. It has a servo for steering and a single L-Motor for drive. Front suspension is like 42039 and the rear is similar to 8081. The C2 and C3 have a shorter wheelbase than the C1 so there are two slightly different version of the chassis. 1961 Corvette C1 1963 Corvette C2 1969 Corvette C3
