Hell, I dont even have the drill bits I'd need for this DIY PCB project
specifically I don't yet have any drill bits in millemeters, only fractional inches <:GWfroggyFeelsBaguetteMan:398569671290257415>

Wonder if the parts list, all told, cost any less than a Bugatti 🤣
You looked at the retail(regular size) Bugatti Chiron? I really wanna make a StuGIII in this style
for the 1:1 sized lego chiron, my first thought was, "how? technic chassis tend to be a bit flimsy/flexy"
It's an aluminum chassis, with real wheels, but everything else is lego
those trans-red liftarms tho
oh ffs, aluminum chassis
THATS CHEATING
they should have at least moulded aluminum technic beams instead
It's still 90% lego
and then how many pounds of metal
10% of a car is a lot of raw materials
Maybe... 400lbs of metal?
those flexible skin body panels though? gorgeous
400lbs. so to answer the question can you make a REAL car out of legos? Fuck no.
They used Technic motors
nice
now to be honest they would have got better performance by going with a 3rd-party motor solution made FOR legos, IE compatible with them. theres a few kits you can put in your lego RCs to make them faster
Technic 1:1 M4A1 when tho
that flexible skin design is perfect for the enormous problem of translating a curvy sherman to bricks
I can see a fully lego tank more possible than a lego car
why is that
Suspension is different
Omg
I just got to the part with the lego electric drill
💚
granted it looks insanely easy to make, and not many specialized parts
the lighting is fantastic
2,304 PF motors <:GWfroggyPepoThumb:400751103223922689>
There's no kill like overkill.
If they gave me the keys to the car I might have to crash it just to watch it explode 😄
I'd love to work on some stupid project like this
at over one million LEGO parts, I'd like to mention that the avg. price of a LEGO piece is 10 cents, although technic parts are in general priced above average
So this is at least a $100K BOM plus chassis/wheels
BTW @Fitzydog if I really need to I can cutout one of these Copper Clad PCB boards with my dremel
Hmm, fair enough point
