Hello everybody, Since i never posted something i have build, i thought this would be something nice to post. Since another project which i'm following has took a break i thought it would be nice to use one of LPEPowers engines in an official LEGO set. :) I've tried the SYS I3 in 8285 with no succes so far. Today i had some spare time and made a fast moc-up with 8146 which works. Lightweight body and very simple chassis. No suspension or else was needed, i did build a torsional bumper, because safety first! This was the result in 3 hours: Very disappointing the V8 did not fit. :P Geared 1:3. The result was blazing fast. Now we can call the model a real nitro muscle car. :) When the video is uploaded to my Dropbox i'll post some footage here with a small teaser about a more serious project. :P Edit: Here it is: https://www.dropbox....7lsjk/Forum.wmv It seems like Dropbox is putting down the videoquality a lot. :/ Edit 2: Resized images due their too big size. -
As many of you might have seen in Nicjasno's BMW e30 build episode 13, he's counting on volunteers to reverse engineer the chassis and build the body. So I decided to take up the challenge and reverse engineer the car. I first started with the rear suspension, since its simpler than the front one, and you may notice a bit of color vomit due to my lack of similar color pieces. I don't have the custom mini turntable hubs, so I just built place holders. After the rear suspension, I started on the front; first I tackled the hubs. Then, I moved onto the rest of the front suspension. Next up, the chassis, so stay tuned.
