Supersonic RC mixes fast and furious checkpoint racing with extreme stunts. The game is set inside a childs bedroom with toys scattered around as abstacles, ramps and jumps. This 3D Racing Game has 5 different challenge modes of play. Each level must be unlocked by completing the one before in order to proceed. This game is a SHOCKWAVE GAME so you will need the shockwave browser plug-in installed for it to work.Drive The Car = Use Arrow KeysHand Brakes = Use Space BarKarl Herrick has built a RC Lego car on request of his son, who himself is quite a DIYer which is evident from his method to produce a fast wired remote control car. Karl’s version of the Lego RC car that is powered by a Raspberry Pi computer is a custom Lego RC car make that uses the very same Lego 4×4 Crawler powertrain. The Lego 4×4 Crawler consists of 2 large motors for providing power to the wheels, servo motor to turn the wheels and a battery box for powering up the whole machinery. The infrared remote control is actuated with a Parallax servo and Lego gear which in-fact is controlled by the Raspberry Pi itself.
The whole drivetrain rig is secured to a 4×4 base and all the components are very carefully placed inside it so that the parts don’t get loose and fall off. Equipped with a Raspberry Pi camera board it is possible to record perspective videos (@ 2592×1944) of the ride that the Lego car is on. To make all the commands remotely a Bluetooth USB adapter paired with a Bluetooth game controller connected wirelessly to a Nexus 4. Karl has posted the details of the code and the make process on his website and if you also want to make a Raspberry Pi powered RC Lego car then head straight over to it.Lego recently gave nostalgia-tripping car nerds another reason to throw away their hard-earned money with a Technic edition of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Yes, it is cool. Yes, you are probably fumbling for your credit card as we speak, hoping to score a sweet, sweet bonus with those VIP Points. (Your humble author is a member, and has recently re-upped his Brick Kicks subscription.) And by all means, you should, you shameless AFOL, you.
But you know what's cooler than a searingly orange supercar with an adjustable wing? A Lego-fied Polonez from Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych. Wait, maybe not cooler, but definitely more technical. And definitely more faithful to the humble, boxy Eastern Bloc runabout's actual-size variant than the slightly disjointed plastic Porsche is to its real thing. Check out that detailed undercarriage, the scrappy wheels, the face of Malaise expertly captured in that blacked-out grille. And if it only looks good from the outside, watch the video above—complete with jaunty accordion music—and impress yourself at the following features:Following the Porsche and the Ferrari Enzo (8653), the FSO Polonez is not exactly the sexiest Lego Technic vehicle. But neither is a Compact Tracked Loader (42032). Somebody really had to love the FSO Polonez to spend so many painstaking hours designing and building this, cramming in so many features, features that work and coexist with each other. And to diehard Polish car guys like Hooniverse's Kamil Kaluski, homegrown automotive representation is more than worth its weight in Danish plastic.
Hat tip to Hooniverse This Unfinished Ferrari-Powered Hot Rod Is a 950-HP Deathwish You Can Buy a Chevy SS at a Huge Discount A Supercharged Nissan 370Z Is Very Fast and Furious Why a Nurburgring Record Set in 1983 Will Never Be Beaten This Is What 20 Years of Neglect Does to a Jaguar E-Type The 500-Pound Backpack Everyone Seems to Want to Carry 10 of the Smallest Details That Have the Highest Impact on Performance Admit It: You Have Always Wanted to Try This Here's What It's like to Drive a 450-HP Time-Attack Focus ST on the Street Why an Old Detroit Inline-Six Is Worth Saving This is the first in a series of articles in which I shall give advice to build a competitive RC car In this first I'll show advices for choose the correct gear ratio I know sometimes choose the correct transmission ratio is not easy, so I will try to make it as easy as possible For choose it are very important this things: - Motor type and quantity
- Preformance type: more speed, more acceleration or an average point - Approximate total weight For determinate de correct gear ratio you must use this formula: In kph -> Speed = M x R x Wd x 0.0001885 In mph -> Speed = M x R x Wd x 0.0001177 Note: the numbers are only for change units. M = Speed motor under load(rpm), using information of Philo's website - RC= 940 (ext.) o 1270 (int.) R = multiplication ratio (1: R) from motor to wheels axle. For exemple if you have 3:1 ratio, divide by 3 --> 1:0.33 --> R = 0.33 Wd = wheel diameter (in mm) Example 1: This kart http://www.sheepo.es/2011/04/kart-rc.html - XL motors for traction - 43.2x22 ZR wheels - Gear ratio: 24/8 x 24/12 = 6 Speed = 140 x 6 x 43.2 x 0.0001885 = 6.84 kph Speed = 140 x 6 x 43.2 x 0.0001177 = 4.27 mph - RC motor in external connector - 68.8x36 ZR wheels - Gear ratio 12/20 = 0.6 Speed = 940 x 0.6 x 68.8 x 0.0001885 = 7.31 kph
Speed = 940 x 0.6 x 68.8 x 0.0001177 = 4.57 mph For this table I have used a standar weight car around 700-800 grams, if your car is heavier speed will be slightly smaller, and if it's lighter a little higher. By my own experience the correct final speeds are this: I hope this wiil be usefull for you!!
