Two-gear Car Chassis
      This is my two-gear car chassis, which uses a nonlinear, synchronized transmission. There is a white switch at the top that changes gears. This is also my first MOC on Rebrickable, a LEGO website where you can post your MOCs. The cool thing about it is that every MOC has instructions! Link down below to the Rebrickable homepage and my MOC.

The Ordinary Car


      This is another LEGO car, and it looks very ordinary... It is one of the most basic cars I have ever made. L motor for drive, Servo for steering, blah blah blah. I did get a new part in to use as a replacement for the servo motor. It is a hockey spring from the 2003 NHL hockey sets. It can be attached onto an M motor and it will act like a servo. I will use it in future builds. More photos:

Super Roadster
      I am so happy that this is finished! It is my first car with two L motors, my first car with a chain transferring drive, and my first car with an oder differential variant! I love the bodywork on this car, including the Dino-2010 style windshield. It uses a servo motor for steering and two L motors for drive. It uses the second differential variant (from 8880), which took exactly seven tries to work. It was super fun to build and my best design yet. The front just went very smooth when it came to the body paneling. I did have to use a technic frame piece, which I am running out of and looks kind of strange. The back could use a little improvement, but it is okay. Overall, it is a little slow, but is my favorite car so far!
      P.S. Please comment below! I really would like some advice of the pros and cons of my models! I also might be getting an Sbrick Plus soon! Yay! I will also get back with the RC race buggy cars. I currently failed at making a Baja Trophy Truck, but there's always a next time!

Street Scorcher

      I have built another car - with chassis instructions! Sorry it took a while- the video was hard to work with. This car has superb rear suspension that I have been struggling with for a while. It uses a PF L mother and PF servo motor, as usual. I used the panels from two sets- the Display Team Jet and the Fire Plane. The body wasn't the best but the chassis was very nice. I like the rear tail lights and the front bumper. I have added a video and instructions below. Note on the instructions: there are no flex axles or panels on it besides the front bumper edges. I would also like to note that I am sorry that the videos don't work on IOS devices, and that I will try to fix that in the future.
Instructions can be found here. (Warning, they are a little faulty.)

Front Steerable Suspension plus Instructions!
      I built and tested this front steerable suspension on an old RC Lego car and it worked well. I decided to create instructions (in LDD) so other people could build it! There are some problems with the instructions but they should be easy to figure out (they should be solved one or two steps later). There are some extra parts required that either are not in LDD or wouldn't work well. I have images and the building instructions video below (Sorry, no music this time).


I have to add some picture instructions too but first you should add the 1 by 7 steering rack between steps 18 and 19 upside down on the small black double bevel gear near the front of the model. Also insert 2 by 4 steering arms with four ball joints (As shown in picture 2 with wheels and in greater detail on the last picture) in between the dark gray suspension arms. Here are the picture instructions.

Add the T-bar with a little force and it will fit.

Add ball joint bars on the ball joint pins on the back of the sub assembly.


Push blue 3-stud pin end into pin holes on 1 by 7 steering rack.

 Push ball joint bars on 4 by 2 steering arms.
Congratulations! The model is complete.

Two-Gear Automatic Shifting Car
      I built this car out of my recently expanded Technic collection including two new M motors (which only one is used in this creation,) and various panels, beams, and axles. My bins are almost full! This RC car uses a Servo motor for steering and an L motor for drive (as usual.) This is my first creation which utilizes two IR receivers and two IR remotes. This car also uses a similar but much more compact version of my previous gearbox in an older post. The car would have doubled in size if I had used the old gearbox! I am thinking of the possibility of rubber brakes on future cars, but I doubt that will happen anytime soon. The bodywork on this car is weird, but I don't really care about it on this model. I have included more pictures below (Sorry that I have been slacking on the videos, but I promise you that there will be one soon!)

Speedy Supercar

      I built this small car out of the parts of a recent failure, but this one turned out great! I am happy with the bodywork and the compact but fast chassis. It uses the Power Functions system with an L motor for drive and a servo motor for steering. The silver paneling is from the Supersonic RC set, which is how I got my RC Race Buggy motors. I ordered some parts off Bricklink, an online Lego store for this car. I included photos down below.
