Supercar WIP - Update

Update on this project, I am scrapping it. The reasons are because I simply do not have the parts or the skill make the complexity and scale of this model work. Instead I am going to build a smaller car without a gearbox but instead with the following functions:
  • Rear wheel drive via a XL Motor and differential
  • Front wheel steering via a M Motor
  • Full suspension, front independent, rear I have not yet decided, possibly independent I'll have to see
  • Fake V6 engine
  • Decent bodywork, as this wouldn't have been achievable on the bigger model with the parts I have
I leave you with some photos of the almost complete chassis which is as far as I got on the big model. I will now disassemble this and start building the smaller one.
