RACE2 – Super fast LEGO RC off road car Posted by Christoph Bartneck on May 3, 2013 in Design, LEGO | RACE2 is the fastest LEGO off road car. The 4WD RC car can get over rocks and obstacles fast. It is an improved version of my original RACE car. The building instructions are available as well as the LEGO Digital Designer file (LXF). It is a simplified and more robust version of the original RACE car.Published on Dec 31. Our 24-hour rcae car faces an epic challenge: can it beat a real race car?

They will love this motorized version.lego turbo rctrack turbo rcGreat as a car and later for other uses Lego Bricks are great to use as a sketch tool. I can build a mock up, then tear it down. I can create different designs, if it didn't worked I can tear them down and rebuild another model without wasting anything. Or I would build two models at the same time and compare them side by side, and see which one will work better. This instructable shows you how I used Lego Bricks and components to design Lego Race Car. My Lego Race Car using different wheels sizes for the front and rear. My Lego Race Car did not have front wing flap, similar to some Formula 1 race cars in 1960s. This Lego Race Car did not used all Lego's parts. I built this one the same way I built my R/C Lego Car. A small servo was used as the turning mechanism. And I used motor and gearbox with axle that I took out from small R/C car. When I first started building this car. I thought of using XBee module to wirelessly receive commands from PC or Laptop.
(See test video in Step 13). After I finished the car I thought of using RN-XV WiFly module to receive commands from my iPod touch. The reason to use iPod Touch (4G) as a remote control device instead of using the laptop or PC to control the car. Since the iPod Touch (or iPhone) is so small that I can hold in my hand(s), I could move around to follow the car instead of sitting at the same place with a laptop sit on my lap. Here is how I created this Wireless Lego Race Car.Step 1: Parts and ToolsShow All Items Following is the list of Lego Technic parts that I used for building this R/C Lego Race Car.

It is the successor of LEGO Race, and its first subtheme was Xalax. Since 2002, most race cars in LEGO System and TECHNIC universe (including Radio Control race cars) have been released under the LEGO Racers theme. Different subthemes have been developed including Drome Racers, Tiny Turbos and Power Racers, as have licensed subthemes, such as Williams F1, Ferrari and Lamborghini.
Many Racers sets do not contain Minifigures; special Minifigures were included in sets from 2002, 2003, and some Williams F1 and Ferrari sets. Minifigures are also included in the 2012 sets. Promotional sets usually include Tiny Turbos. LEGO Racers was discontinued in 2012 and it was succeeded by Speed Champions, introduced in 2015. The ThemeTable system is being renovated. See a list of pages tagged Williams F1 here. There is a forum about the work here {{ThemeTable/renovations|8374 Williams F1 Team Racer 1:27|8461 Williams F1 Team Racer}}See a list of pages tagged Racers here. Drome Racers, while under development, was known as LEGO Racers 3. A fourth game, LEGO Racers 4, was in development by ATD and was to feature large, streaming worlds, but was canceled. In 2004, another game, LEGO Racers CC, was advertised in some catalogs, but was never released. In 2007, a mobile game simply titled LEGO Racers was developed by Kiloo and published by Hands On Mobile. Boxes for 2009 Racers sets advertised a game called "LEGO Racers: The Video Game", but this game was presumably canceled.
