It's an aluminum chassis, with real wheels, but everything else is lego

2018-09-04 00:31:10 UTC  

those trans-red liftarms tho

2018-09-04 00:31:33 UTC  

oh ffs, aluminum chassis

2018-09-04 00:31:58 UTC  

THATS CHEATING

2018-09-04 00:32:29 UTC  

they should have at least moulded aluminum technic beams instead

2018-09-04 00:34:02 UTC  

It's still 90% lego

2018-09-04 00:34:18 UTC  

and then how many pounds of metal

2018-09-04 00:34:32 UTC  

10% of a car is a lot of raw materials

2018-09-04 00:34:51 UTC  

Maybe... 400lbs of metal?

2018-09-04 00:35:04 UTC  

those flexible skin body panels though? gorgeous

2018-09-04 00:35:29 UTC  

400lbs. so to answer the question can you make a REAL car out of legos? Fuck no.

2018-09-04 00:36:00 UTC  

They used Technic motors

2018-09-04 00:36:06 UTC  

nice

2018-09-04 00:36:14 UTC  

And Lego BRAKES

2018-09-04 00:37:07 UTC  

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

2018-09-04 00:38:11 UTC  

Technic 1:1 M4A1 when tho

2018-09-04 00:38:38 UTC  

that flexible skin design is perfect for the enormous problem of translating a curvy sherman to bricks

2018-09-04 00:39:07 UTC  

I can see a fully lego tank more possible than a lego car

2018-09-04 00:39:19 UTC  

why is that

2018-09-04 00:39:32 UTC  

Suspension is different

2018-09-04 00:40:01 UTC  

Omg

2018-09-04 00:40:11 UTC  

I just got to the part with the lego electric drill

2018-09-04 00:40:15 UTC

2018-09-04 00:42:18 UTC  

granted it looks insanely easy to make, and not many specialized parts

2018-09-04 00:43:21 UTC  

the lighting is fantastic

2018-09-04 00:44:12 UTC  

2,304 PF motors <:GWfroggyPepoThumb:400751103223922689>

2018-09-04 00:44:58 UTC  

There's no kill like overkill.

2018-09-04 00:48:43 UTC  

If they gave me the keys to the car I might have to crash it just to watch it explode ๐Ÿ˜„

2018-09-04 00:49:28 UTC  

I'd love to work on some stupid project like this

2018-09-04 00:50:27 UTC  

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

2018-09-04 00:51:27 UTC  

So this is at least a $100K BOM plus chassis/wheels

2018-09-04 02:53:37 UTC  

BTW @Fitzydog if I really need to I can cutout one of these Copper Clad PCB boards with my dremel

2018-09-04 02:54:53 UTC  

Hmm, fair enough point

2018-09-04 03:03:44 UTC  

no point, just that it can be done. its always better to use machines, plus i have shaky hands

2018-09-04 06:23:14 UTC  

@Uglypatch those look cool man

2018-09-04 07:43:30 UTC  

@M4Gunner i think its called Veroboard

2018-09-06 01:27:24 UTC  

the new murdoch was ok
