Suspension geometry is right on. The rubber bands work great. You need dampening. As an rc racer for many years, you may be able to double the amount of time your wheels touch the ground over most terrains by adding oil shocks. I can see in the off road slow motion sequences that your tires touch the ground about 50% of the time. Oil shocks would double your corner holding speed as well as corner exit speed off road... Which is the fastest way around the off road circuit. I enjoyed this vid immensely, great build👍

As a mechanic I’ve never seen such realistic suspension on a technic moc or set. I’m working on my own Jeep gladiator moc and will definitely do something very similar to this.

the best RC car I have seen from LEGO technic 😮

Epic! The suspension is perfect! Those pieces would be very useful if Lego made them! Wow you are back after a year, thought you weren't gonna make quality content anymore!

I think you need to compensate for the heavy back end by adding more elastic bands on the rear suspension.

Incredible basic concept! HUGE development potential! Sway bars, shocks, enclose the drivetrain, only needs a cockpit and minor paneling!

That suspension is incredibly impressive

Thats the best minimalist suspension design I've ever seen

This is really impresive! So much functionality in such little space!

the look isn't good since there's not body, but this is one of the best Lego buggies i've seen, it dont have real weakness

That suspension is absolutely amazing thank you for showing it off properly!!!

Super model! I Absolutely love the suspension and the slow motion shots!

Nice car, but besides just springs (as you have now, even tho they rubber bands) you will also need some shock ABSORPTION. I think those tiny yellow pneumatic cylinders will be perfect, just don't connect any hose and there will be enough resistance to act as a shock absorber. While keeping the amazingly sleek suspension setup as it is.

One of the best RC car builds i've seen. Thank you for sharing.

Possibly the my favorite rc model on KZfaq! Amazing job!

The customized cardan is a great solution!!! Lego's original limit the building possibilities a lot for smaller models. Great video edition too! Congrats!

This is an aweseome example of sprung vs unsprung mass on suspension components

Finally you’re active again!!!!!1!1!1!!1!!!!! This is legendary!

For rock crawling I would suggest that you make the differentials lockable.

Extremely impressive. If only lego made some sort of legitimate shock absorbers.

Dude this is one of the coolest things I’ve seen! Absolutely epic!

ngl lego should offer this as a kit

The best to explain how an independent suspension works.

Very nicely done, very fast too and flies over rough terrain. Impressive!

Nice job mate! I wish I could have Buwizz and a buggy motor too

This is great. Well done LEGO. Your knowledge is impressive. Be proud!

THE SUSPENSION IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like an alumi craft class 10 body would fit this perfectly

you are incredible

I would love to see a tutorial on this amazing chassis Anyways great vid 👍

glad to see you active again!

This might actually be something I’d be willing to build

Can you make instrucions plz

I have a question? Will the buggy motor going to get scratched while driving on off-road?

fun fact with rubber band suspension, if you hook a band between each suspension arm, and link the front ones together it works better.

Amazing vehicle and feat of engineering, my dude. One critique though: the suspension is a bit too flimsy from what I can see. Perhaps add another band to each wheel.

Will you release instructions for this ? Its AMAZING!

I just rly enjoyed the music 😂

Super buggy mais le mieux serait de faire une carrosserie hyper belle pour un meilleur résultat !!!🧐

hi! im trying to make my own rc buggy and this vid really inspired me, especially the suspension part, i dont have spare shocks and i was getting really confused on how to mount the back wheels to the chassis. Thanks!

Lego needs some basic elements for enthusiasts but in affordable prices. Bearings for one. You can get decent RC car doing 60 km/h for 100-150 USD. You won't even get the latest BuWizz for that and I imagine friction will do its thing pretty quickly...

This is incredible lego engineering! I love it

That's nuts! I love it 😂

Suspension system is amazing 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

You must transfer/adapt this suspension system to the 8x8 MAZ-537! Outstanding...

That suspension is so perfect😁. And it's light, small and powerfull. All in all that's a nearly perfect buggy😀😀 I don't say it is because I belive that nothing is perfect and everything could be optimized 👌. But I think to optimize that buggy is gonna be impossible😅

This is a great build! The only thing I would change is to make the suspension stiffer. In ground conditions like 5:15 you lose a lot of traction (and therefore speed and stability) because the suspersion is too bouncy. This is worse at the very back where the motor sits

Great video and fantastic technique used in this moc! I love it! Funny, that you are also using rubber bands for your suspension as i did that since the 1980s in my technic mocs as well as some modified parts to achieve what i wanted to do. But since mine were fully modelled, quite heavy mocs, i had to use more rubber bands and additionally custom spring shocks, which gives the suspension more strength and reduces the time the wheels "fly" without touching the ground. And your steering geometry is close to perfect, since the mechanic is nearly inside the wheel (don't know how to describe that better). I would at least add one more rubber band to your moc to stabilize the suspension a little and add a little more weight to the front, perhaps with a bumper construction.

it would be so cool to have shock dampners. You could use sealed off pneumatic cylinders to make a dapmner, it would be large and the dampner would be pretty stiff, but if you made it heavier, it would be so cool

this is amazing!

Man, that's gotta be so much fun to drive around. I wish i had the parts fir somethimg like that

Incredible build! Impressive capabilites, yet so simple!

Saludos desde la República Del Congo de Sud-África

Please make some instructions or at least an in-depth video with parts!! I really want to build one for myself🙏🙏

whoda thunk, elastic bands making oil filled shocks look wanting. mind blown.

If I had seen this as a kid, I'd have gone nuts building one. Good work!

You created a real Monster!👍👍👍

video muy interesante, saludos desde El Salvador🇸🇻

The music sounds like Camo and Krooked -All fall down, good video and love the car /design

nice build with integrated buggy motor on the back.. the steering and suspension look like the 8465 Extreme Off-Roader .

This is so cool and it functions awesome! But I think if you put a Lego body shell on it so that it looks cooler then that would make it the absolute best lego creation ever!

You need to make eather de lower arms longer or the upper ones shorter. That would improve the contact patch of the tire when cornering hard

Oh my god this is really cool!

Add a little camber to the front wheels so it may do better in the corners

Lego should go down this road. With a bit more metal parts. Would be very cool. Cool video!!

It looks amazing💪💪👍👍✌

Ingenious! And now, add dampers and swaybar 😜

I often tried to build something like that , but the stearing never worked

U made a very nice drivetrain there. But u would archive an better driving performance witch shock absorbers. There are these mini coilovers for RC cars who do a good job.

dude this if fucking awesome. cant wait to build this with my kid

That is highkey fire. Espically the suspensions

Cool design

try some shock absorbers and adding weight to it, it´ll may help the wheels to touch the ground

Nicely done, just Great.

0:17 Now I know how to build a Lego car that can turn

Man that is so cool but I don't have the parts but I would totally buy one

a suggestion: try adding a rc body shell to complete the offroad look ;)

You are the best

Maybe the suspension should be a bit harder. But the 4x4 deserves like😎.

The Suspension looks a little bit soft. But nevertheless a great performance.

chassis works well, motor has pretty good top end, but it would be greatly improved by going away from bluetooth IR control and towards some hobby grade control stuff. Hobby grade servo, receiver, esc, 3s lipo battery.

Would be sooo cool to see the effect of 4 wheel steering on this. Seems like you could do it.

That’s awesome bro 😎 especially the suspension great work dude

Very nice creation !

If you want to build a car around it you would have to change the suspension because of the additional weight though, this is not a complete vehicle

Great work 👍

You should definitely try to bring it on the beach and see how fast you can go

Wow! This model is excellent💯

Awesome suspension!

that just sick

Cool homemade

Nice car, looks increíble, the suspension looks like a long travel

Woah I never knew about that battery with gamepad controls on it I want it now But open differentials and off-road terrain doesn't match up very well, you need some LSDs but I don't remember Lego doing any of theese

Great video !

Evan Braddock outro music let’s goo

Awesome suspension balance! My dream!

Amazing!!!!!!! Great job!!!!

Great idea for the wheel hub things!! I'm trying to build my own buggy off of that idea

Very nice you made springs out of rubber bands but lack of shocks make the wheels very bouncy. A wheel not touching the ground is not going to do you any good.

Nice video!!
