Hi everyone, I'm showing you my newest MOC, the Skeleton Street Racer, but first, let me explain how it came to be... I was finishing up my 9395 4x4 Mod and thought it would be cool to have a car frame to tow around to show it's capabilities. I stole the wheels and tires from the 8041 on my shelf, and built a chassis. I thought I shouldn't stop there, so I made the rest of the body. I told myself I shouldn't make it really detailed, so it wouldn't distract from the truck, but that thought quickly left my mind as the car got more and more on the chassis, and later because @letsbuild wanted to see more of it. When it was finished, I pushed it around because it was manual then. The steering has Ackermann-like geometery, and the turning radius was small, so I knew it would be great as an R/C car. I added a spoiler last. After taking pictures of it with the truck, I took out the steering system and added a Servo, and rebuilt the rear with 2 L-Motors geared 3:1, and a differential. The gear ratio ended up being 2.143:1. It worked great, so the next day I filmed the truck with it, changed the rim and spoiler colors, and filmed and photographed it. So it went from a mock-up car to a great R/C one. Video: Don't forget that I didn't film indoors, but it goes really fast on wood floors too. Some quick outdoor shots: It is called the Skeleton because it is just the frame of a car.^^ The back, where you can see the SBrick location and spoiler.^^ Another one of the back.^^ Some normal photos: Everyone's favorite, the underside.^^ You can invert the spoiler for a different look.^^ Rebrickable: http://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-6745/offroadcreations/skeleton-street-racer/ LDD: https://www.bricksafe.com/files/Offroadcreations/fast-frame-car/Skeleton.lxf Thank you for viewing and have a great day.
