… Why do you say a smaller battery box is coming? If you’re referring to the new mini RC racers, I’m pretty sure that the whole block is prefab, like their previous counterparts. Of course, I would love to be proved wrong here.

^ Yeah it is a little too big. A small motor wouldn’t go astray. My first plan for an RC vehicle was a tank like you’ve done but fitting the battery box in proved too difficult.

Terrific work! PF is really a little large for minifig scale MOCs, but you’ve pulled this off very nicely!

And of course even without the PF it is a great build!

Can I just mention: is that on the back of the car a 1x2x2 slope, like the dress slope but thinner? wowzers. I want some in bley, so useful for a big project I’m pretending to work on.

Cool, thanks Tim.

^ Yeah it’s a great system. Homemade RC is awesome. I’ve been zipping this around the house like a smal child on Christmas Day. I just wish there was a smaller motor so I could make some more regular powered semis.

Regular readers will have seen my FDNY ladder truck, but few may have realised that it too has power functions remote control. I’d been dreaming of having my own remote controlled LEGO vehicle probably since I was a child, and when I bought a monster dino earlier this year, my hands were itching. It is a fantastic system indeed.

Forgive me, but what is a decoratas?

By: Gambort

Gambort — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 06:24:27 +0000

^ Yeah but we already know that’s coming.

Andrew> I’ve never worked out a good way to do a jeepney. Decoratas are prominently on my list but had to wait until I finished this baby.

Forget the S Motor, I’m aching for a smaller battery box.

I’d love to see your take on a jeepney or a decotora.
