Mercedes-Benz 300SL custom MOC - Motorized gull-wing doors

Post by loxlego » Sun Feb 28, 2016 8:11 pm

Inspired by the classic 300SL. This car was the fastest in its day and its beauty and simplicity drove me to build a replica of the car below:

I started by developing a custom framework with 2 l-motors for drive and a narrower chassis with a nimble turning radius. All of the classic features were motorized with the Lego power functions. Blending old and new Technic Lego pieces to create this black beast :wink:

Good touch with the wheels, and clever use o the steering wheel as a Mercedes logo

I tried to create a better looking back end to this car. That was difficult due to all of the batteries, motors etc.
Anyway, here is the revised rear end and video below:
