  • Quick Q&A... Q: Why does it steer to the right? A: Because of the knock of Servo... Lego does not make PF Servo Motors anymore. As a consequence people have to buy one from Bricklink for up to 80€ (per Servo motor) or get a cheap Servo from a 3rd party manufacturer. And these non Lego servos are very bad. They do not allow partial steering, some do even overheat and they don't last long. The one you see in this video is about to die... I am lucky I could still make the video. Q: Are there instructions? A: Unfortunately not. I need my time for videos and building. Making instructions would mean less videos. Plus the number of parts and motors make this build very expensive to replicate. Only the Buwizz and the motors cost more than 250$.

    I knew this could be done in Lego, but I never expected it could be so compact as well! Seriously amazing job
  • @car_pal
    there are not enough thumbs in this world for this video, outstanding job
  • Anyone notice how in the compact version the clutch is the first to release and last to be reapplied? Small detail but incredibly important. Genius.
  • @Dan-sh5rv
    seeing the transformation from 3:12 to the compacted build in the car is jaw-dropping
  • @moctawolf
    Congratulations. You have built the most complex and compact technical lego build. Simply unbelievable.
  • @LEGOCOOKING
    so impressed with your video, keep it up buddy
  • @Saadibro
    This is probably the coolest Lego build I’ve ever seen! Working gearbox and clutch… that’s so neat.
  • @mancazziashm
    This could easily be an official set. Absolutely fantastic.
  • A true lego master. As a mechanical engineering student, auto/motorcycle mechanic, and lifetime lego enthusiast, this was beyond enjoyable for me. Thank you!
  • @BillBoard.
    The ratio of a full scale car to the size of this model car is the exact same ratio applied to the UNDERSTANDING of how the transmission of a car works. Immensely GREAT work!
  • @Driftuner
    Wow. As a test-driver and development engineer i have to say, youve built this thing way better than some manufacturers i have to work with, no joke....
  • @networkzero0
    Lost for words.. this is the most incredible thing. What an amazing talent you have for using Lego, engineering and videography. 10/10
  • @SHAHIDKhan-bp5nz
    I think even my amazement at the engineering involved in this doesn't do it justice since I must have missed so many clever ideas that went into making this work. I feel like I should be paying to see this !
  • @josephius
    Lego needs to hire this guy! Incredible! Not only does it function incredibly well, but you made it look great as well!
  • @RonnyMilleo2
    This is insane, I wonder how many hours you spent building this from scratch
  • @GullaJan-mr8bi
    Your understanding of engineering, gear ratios, Lego, and artistry are through the roof my friend. I geek out every time you put out a new video. What you do is just so fun to watch! I wished I understood better
  • @VaporizedKerbal
    The thing I always find the most impressive about your videos is that you can make things so compact but still strong. I really want to try doing stuff like this, but I don't have enough bricks and legos have gotten really expensive.
