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
And Lego BRAKES
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
๐
granted it looks insanely easy to make, and not many specialized parts
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 ๐
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
no point, just that it can be done. its always better to use machines, plus i have shaky hands
will these fit in my power drill?
