Quick Q&A... Q: Why does it steer to the right? A: Because of the knock of Servo... Lego does not make PF Servo Motors anymore. As a consequence people have to buy one from Bricklink for up to 80€ (per Servo motor) or get a cheap Servo from a 3rd party manufacturer. And these non Lego servos are very bad. They do not allow partial steering, some do even overheat and they don't last long. The one you see in this video is about to die... I am lucky I could still make the video. Q: Are there instructions? A: Unfortunately not. I need my time for videos and building. Making instructions would mean less videos. Plus the number of parts and motors make this build very expensive to replicate. Only the Buwizz and the motors cost more than 250$.
I still have a servo made by Lego that is probably the older model of the one in the video. It probably still work although I haven’t used it in a while. Would it be worth mailing it to you if you can’t find them for sale?
What would happen if it were left in fourth gear and the clutch was engaged, at low speed, would it have a "stall" effect? Or are the motors strong enough to maintain movement?
Right? I was in my hometown a week ago and opened my old Lego boxes, where I found my last project, which consisted of a front suspension, a gearbox and the back suspension, which all where about 50% bigger than this. It would have worked even way worse, cause I wanted to use 2 stone age motors and a single more recent one, so not even RC...
A true lego master. As a mechanical engineering student, auto/motorcycle mechanic, and lifetime lego enthusiast, this was beyond enjoyable for me. Thank you!
Honestly, the educational value in these videos is very impressive, especially the "deep dive" into the gearbox at the beginning and the clutch. This video (and many of the others) would be a great addition to many lectures.
@@Magrior I was thinking that exact thing. I like cars, but I’m not that knowledgeable on how they work- but as he went through the gearbox one thing I thought was awesome was how he showed it shifting. I was like - “Oh shit, so that’s the reason the sounds the car makes pause when you shift.”
@@neurotic3015 same. I like cars and partially understand how they function, but one thing I could never understand was how gearboxes work. While I still don't fully understand, this video has been the greatest explanation I've seen.
@@christocan4710 I'm usually not the one to jump on the Lego hate bandwagon, but in this case something like this is exactly what Lego technique is about. At one point you'd think the children would know how the pistons of an engine translate a push pull motion into a rotational motion. Then you make something new right?
The ratio of a full scale car to the size of this model car is the exact same ratio applied to the UNDERSTANDING of how the transmission of a car works. Immensely GREAT work!
I know right? I looked at the set up originally and was like, "oh, what scale is this build in?" Then he proceeds to stuff everything together in *less* motors than before 0.0 Smartest move adding the clutch and gearbox together though.
It uses a lot of non-official parts from buwizz, control unit, and it also uses many tricky “illegal” part connections. So this, sadly, won’t be a set. Also, Lego would not allow to release a clutch, which can be easily burned and wear down.

@@fruitygranulizer540 my point of view is also that there is Always nostalgy in such product. I personnaly invested in 2 Nintendo for super Mario Bros and street fighter II while i dont play to it but i have them. I used to Practice radio controlled car, on-road, nitro engine, very extensive, as a teenager, and now as an adult, i spend much more in it now to have all the equipment, because i Can afford it. As you Can see, a real fan built this RC car already. He is an adult, he has passion for it and mechanic and GOT knowledge, probably is he in mechanical engineering. Focusing on adults, communicating on fan network, marketing it as a product for advised people, i think it may work.
This is exactly the type of machine I imagined in my childhood. Never mind the fact that half of these parts didn't even exist in my childhood. I still managed to make a manual crash box in a 9v battery powered car that I drove to school while I walked behind it!
I loved how simple you started to explain the gearbox mechanism, then started to make it more complex. you made it easy to understand for everyone. great work man.
not only does it make it easy to understand, but it neatly shows the engineering process. starting with the simplest solution available, and slowly improvising to allow for better functionality. i just wish brick technology would also show some of his vailed attempts, since i think it is an even better part of the engineering porocess/
HUGE respect to you for making such a car. I misunderstand those who ask for instructions. If you will pause at the right time, the chasis and design episodes are the instruction.
By far this is the coolest LEGO creation ive ever seen. Well done! This type of video is great for someone who doesnt understand how a cars drivetrain works also.

I never really understood how transmissions work and it boggles me that I understood the entire concept on the first minute alone. Such an amazing build!
I had to watch it few times to believe you actually made the compact version of gear + clutch and servo… that’s one of the coolest builds I’ve ever saw… 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is a really awesome car that inspires me to finish my own Lego sports car project. The mechanical engineering that has gone into fitting so much technology in a limited space is insane.
Love it! Next challenge I have for you is an automatic transmission and torque converter :P Torque converter would definitely be the hardest part since real ones use transmission fluid to work. The automatic transmission should be much simply since they pretty much use planetary gear setups :D
Amazing work, I also really enjoyed the jokes that you slipped in here and there. This genre of video can be really dense and dull but having a bit of humor every once and a while can make it so much more fun. Keep up the amazing work.
Your understanding of engineering, gear ratios, Lego, and artistry are through the roof my friend. I geek out every time you put out a new video. What you do is just so fun to watch! I wished I understood better
I think even my amazement at the engineering involved in this doesn't do it justice since I must have missed so many clever ideas that went into making this work. I feel like I should be paying to see this !
The fact that they were able to incorporate real world automotive technologies into something about the size of a tennis shoe shows the versatility of lego.
Man, how I wish I had the kind of creativity, ingenuity, motivation and resources to make something this incredible from scratch. It is truly amazing. Very well done
If you ever happen to work together with lego then I would definitely buy a technic set because it will just become awesome to build, explore and play with!! This is so mega cool!!!
This is what I've been waiting to see someone make. Although clutches and transmissions are mainly for actual engines, it's still cool to see it all made in Lego
You keep impressing with every video you put out, be it from the Lego engineering required to build something like this, or by showing of a different skill as well like with the music in the last video. I'm very happy I found your channel.
These videos have been popping up in my suggestions for the past two weeks and I made of the mistake of going down the rabbit hole and clicking on one of these videos. The complexity of these machines blows my mind. And these are just legos. Now I know why engineers, that make the stuff we use in adult life, are the way they are.
This absolutely should become an official set! Has anyone at LEGO seen this? I see it as “available in three options” 32 Ford Roadster, 38 Chevrolet Classic Chopped, and 42 Dodge Pickup also chopped…… maybe with a make your own rat rod type option. Really well done!
wow I'm envious of your engineering prowess and of your time and patience to work on this. This is amazing and I love that you record it so we can see it. Thank you!
Unfortunately I have no time to create Lego builds, let alone the talent for such an outstanding MOC. Therefore I want to thank you for giving us this video as a gift! It is truly inspiring and deeply satisfying to watch!
-"Tell you what... throw in some hot-rod red." -"Render complete, Sir." -"Great. Lovin' it. Send it to print." -"Estimated time for completion, 18 hours, Sir." _cue the guitar_
Just fantastic. I aspire to someday create things on a similar level. This has clearly taken extraordinary amounts of experience, patience, time, and just downright intelligence. Very impressive, I hope you don't tear this one down!
I LOVE that your videos are rather ASMR like but very tasteful, awesome music selection for the few parts anyway. Last song is just what I need for concentration now 😄
It's possible the clutch would be more reliable if the disk connected to the driven shaft had a rougher texture to it so the engagement disk attached to the drive shaft could have more friction available to grip to it when it's engaged. Or maybe do a more radical redesign using a conical female/male configuration. In any case, I love this. Your videos are always a joy to watch.
Love the way you packaged it all compactly, and even the exterior is awesome, although I would like to see more functionality in the gearbox, maybe by changing the gearing ratios in order to require the rc car to shift from gear to gear in order to gain speed, I feel that right now the car has enough torque to start without any issues in fourth gear. By changing the gearing it would not only make it more functional by increasing it's top speed, but also make ot even cooler imo. Great job either way!!

Can I just say that it was HILARIOUS when you switched to the thermal camera view on the clutch. You never commentate, but that transition spoke 1000 words.
Amazing build! Not only did you make a four-speed sequential shift manual transmission out of Lego, you made it insanely compact too!
I gotta admit, I stumbled across your videos kinda outta boredom, but man, I was blown away by how you do all this. Honestly, it was a bit of a mind-blower seeing how you’ve maxed out every bit of potential with Lego. And even crazier, Lego, which used to be just a simple kid's toy, is on this whole new level now. Dude, you're awesome, total fire!
This needs to be an official set. It’s incredible
i posted this in a different comment but:
lego wouldn't allow this for a couple reasons:
1) it probably appeals to a much older audience than their usual range, since most preteens and kids that buy lego technic usually just want cool looking cars and care less about the engineering
2) the parts for this car would be super expensive, and would be a huge risk to start mass producing kits for. it would also have to have a ridiculous price, and most parents would rather buy the cheaper regular lego technic cars (especially since most parents buying toys for their kids probably don't care much for the engineering since, after all, "they're just legos."
3) and this is probably the most important reason: the servo and especially clutch will burn over time, and legos are meant to be pieces that last forever and can take abuse. a build like this can easily be mishandled (ex: changing gears without engaging clutch, holding the wheels from moving and burning the clutch, etc.) and it would be hard to prove that it was the customer's fault. something like this could ruin the company's reputation since a kid mishandling it without realizing it might be mad that their car stopped working a week after buying it for "seemingly no reason."
that being said, i would absolutely buy a third party kit from brick technologies or any other company that sells something like this so i can better understand it and appreciate ti fully. same can be said for the compressed air engines video.
@@fruitygranulizer540 See, pure fan of back to the futur trilogy are ready to buy a pair of Air Mag from Back to the futur II $16000 the shoes. Anything is possible when a marketing campaign is good!!!!!
@@nicolasmartin1572 doing something like that would be a terrible look/rep for a company like lego
@@fruitygranulizer540 my point of view is also that there is Always nostalgy in such product. I personnaly invested in 2 Nintendo for super Mario Bros and street fighter II while i dont play to it but i have them. I used to Practice radio controlled car, on-road, nitro engine, very extensive, as a teenager, and now as an adult, i spend much more in it now to have all the equipment, because i Can afford it. As you Can see, a real fan built this RC car already. He is an adult, he has passion for it and mechanic and GOT knowledge, probably is he in mechanical engineering. Focusing on adults, communicating on fan network, marketing it as a product for advised people, i think it may work.
@anonymous hes explained that these are absurdly expensive to make
This is probably the coolest Lego build I’ve ever seen! Working gearbox and clutch… that’s so neat.
Everyday this man is getting closer and closer to building a real car out of Lego
This is exactly the type of machine I imagined in my childhood. Never mind the fact that half of these parts didn't even exist in my childhood. I still managed to make a manual crash box in a 9v battery powered car that I drove to school while I walked behind it!
I loved how simple you started to explain the gearbox mechanism, then started to make it more complex. you made it easy to understand for everyone. great work man.
not only does it make it easy to understand, but it neatly shows the engineering process. starting with the simplest solution available, and slowly improvising to allow for better functionality.
i just wish brick technology would also show some of his vailed attempts, since i think it is an even better part of the engineering porocess/
HUGE respect to you for making such a car. I misunderstand those who ask for instructions. If you will pause at the right time, the chasis and design episodes are the instruction.
If u have time, can you make some timestamps?
By far this is the coolest LEGO creation ive ever seen. Well done! This type of video is great for someone who doesnt understand how a cars drivetrain works also.
Ok of all your builds this is the one I really really want, bloody mechanical masterpiece
Вот такие взрослые наборы должны делать ЛЕГО. Этому человеку явно должно найтись место среди ЛЕГО инженеров, что бы пускать такие наборы в массовое производство. За тобой будущее, чувак, это очень круто
This is what young me dreamed of making back in the day. The complexity, the engineering, the understading of how each piece of the puzzle works. All in a very polished and presentable package. Amazing work my dude!
Same thought I'd be someone building amazing stuff. Studied mechanical engineering. Now I'm in operations doing nothing with my life
@@ifigetbannedagainyoutubeis2018 Hey there! I'm sorry to hear that. May I ask how your experience was with mechanical engineering in college/university? I am a aspiring engineer and any info and tips will help!
@@kevinpeng8295 college was great. Had good grades , did a couple of internships with startups. During my last year I decided i wanted to get paid a lot of money so started applying to oil and gas companies. Got into one, in operations now. It's just boring. Pays well but that's it
I never really understood how transmissions work and it boggles me that I understood the entire concept on the first minute alone. Such an amazing build!
Nice good new model ❤
This could let people learn soo much about transmission and gearboxes in a fun way! Superb job!
I had to watch it few times to believe you actually made the compact version of gear + clutch and servo… that’s one of the coolest builds I’ve ever saw… 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The footage at the end was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
This is a really awesome car that inspires me to finish my own Lego sports car project. The mechanical engineering that has gone into fitting so much technology in a limited space is insane.
Blown away by how compact the whole system became, amazing job!
This is why engineers scare me.
Love it! Next challenge I have for you is an automatic transmission and torque converter :P Torque converter would definitely be the hardest part since real ones use transmission fluid to work. The automatic transmission should be much simply since they pretty much use planetary gear setups :D
there are lego torque converters, they work via diffs
CVT maybe?
@@sevvvich8118 I would love to see a lego youtuber make a better cvt than Nissan
@@Edward-pw6zz link to a video?
@@JaceN3D ua-cam.com/video/ESI_Koqz2ww/v-deo.html
search "torque vectoring" or "torque splitter"
Amazing work, I also really enjoyed the jokes that you slipped in here and there. This genre of video can be really dense and dull but having a bit of humor every once and a while can make it so much more fun. Keep up the amazing work.
Your understanding of engineering, gear ratios, Lego, and artistry are through the roof my friend. I geek out every time you put out a new video. What you do is just so fun to watch! I wished I understood better
5:31 yes that's preety comfortable
I think even my amazement at the engineering involved in this doesn't do it justice since I must have missed so many clever ideas that went into making this work. I feel like I should be paying to see this !
Really wish Lego would offer models at this level. Absolutely amazing stuff.
that fact that he snad-papers down his legos to make his designs more effective is on a whole other level
I hope Lego designers are watching and get inspired! Very cool build 😍
The fact that they were able to incorporate real world automotive technologies into something about the size of a tennis shoe shows the versatility of lego.
Man, how I wish I had the kind of creativity, ingenuity, motivation and resources to make something this incredible from scratch. It is truly amazing. Very well done
COMFORTABLE INTERIOR had me laughing hard
Yes comfortable and “safe” indeed
If you ever happen to work together with lego then I would definitely buy a technic set because it will just become awesome to build, explore and play with!! This is so mega cool!!!
Brillaint work getting the mechanism so compact. Very well done!
Thank you for the existential dread with the “What am I doing with my life” ❤
If lego would make this as a building kit, I'd instantly buy it. This is very nice!
This is what I've been waiting to see someone make. Although clutches and transmissions are mainly for actual engines, it's still cool to see it all made in Lego
Amazing build. Pure Talent. Would love to see an assembly guide
You keep impressing with every video you put out, be it from the Lego engineering required to build something like this, or by showing of a different skill as well like with the music in the last video. I'm very happy I found your channel.
Wow, thanks!
i finally somewhat understand how internals of a manual work thanks to this demonstration
These videos have been popping up in my suggestions for the past two weeks and I made of the mistake of going down the rabbit hole and clicking on one of these videos. The complexity of these machines blows my mind.
And these are just legos.
Now I know why engineers, that make the stuff we use in adult life, are the way they are.
This absolutely should become an official set! Has anyone at LEGO seen this? I see it as “available in three options” 32 Ford Roadster, 38 Chevrolet Classic Chopped, and 42 Dodge Pickup also chopped…… maybe with a make your own rat rod type option. Really well done!
6:54 that's so cool! Looks like a F1 onboard cam
That 90° stepper mechanism is genius.
wow
I'm envious of your engineering prowess and of your time and patience to work on this. This is amazing and I love that you record it so we can see it. Thank you!
Your mechanical and Lego skills are through the roof. You inspire me, thank you so much for what you do here.
I still can’t get over the fact that everything is so compact
Absolutely breathtaking how you've packed it all into that model. If only I was half as good as you are. Well done.
and at around 1:25, he finally realizes he's a grown man still playing with legos
like everyone else here
**winks**
@@n2m3 yeah
you should win some type of award for this MOC. Unreal stuff.
I may not understand its mechanism but its still amazing as heck to see the process and the build in action, good work
Unfortunately I have no time to create Lego builds, let alone the talent for such an outstanding MOC. Therefore I want to thank you for giving us this video as a gift! It is truly inspiring and deeply satisfying to watch!
Very nice ❤❤❤
7:07 “thanks creator, now i can enjoy the life and freedom”
That fast forward with sounds is so satisfying
the fact this man made what is essentially a 4 speed dogbox using lego technic pieces is REALLY impressive
I am amazed of how functional and estetically pleasing this build is!
Also a really well edited video explaining how it all works!
I literally googled for this 1 minute ago and you posted this video. thanks man
❤
-"Tell you what... throw in some hot-rod red."
-"Render complete, Sir."
-"Great. Lovin' it. Send it to print."
-"Estimated time for completion, 18 hours, Sir."
_cue the guitar_
I was absolutely fluttered when you made a real clutch mechanism with those. Excellent content.
awesome, this looks like it could be a real lego set
Jaw dropping. This is hands down the most impressive Technic build I've seen
Just fantastic. I aspire to someday create things on a similar level. This has clearly taken extraordinary amounts of experience, patience, time, and just downright intelligence. Very impressive, I hope you don't tear this one down!
You essentially made a sequential transmission , that’s really freaking cool!
I LOVE that your videos are rather ASMR like but very tasteful, awesome music selection for the few parts anyway. Last song is just what I need for concentration now 😄
It's possible the clutch would be more reliable if the disk connected to the driven shaft had a rougher texture to it so the engagement disk attached to the drive shaft could have more friction available to grip to it when it's engaged. Or maybe do a more radical redesign using a conical female/male configuration. In any case, I love this. Your videos are always a joy to watch.
I had the biggest smile on my face the entire video. I really love what you do with these bricks.
One of the best YT videos ever made. Simply. Fantastic content, editing and filming on unbelievable level, great work as always!
2:01 I love how the first thing to fall was the motor itself. xD
Absolutely incredible how you packaged that into a beautiful looking body. Great job.
me and the girlfriend had a good laugh at "extendable driveshaft" 1:27
Bro wtf 🤨📸
You just blow my mind every single time ❤️
amazing how its not only perfect in a technological way, it also looks stunning!
You deserve more subscribers for this amazing work, keep it up, I love your Videos.
this needs to be an official set.its incredible experience
Love the way you packaged it all compactly, and even the exterior is awesome, although I would like to see more functionality in the gearbox, maybe by changing the gearing ratios in order to require the rc car to shift from gear to gear in order to gain speed, I feel that right now the car has enough torque to start without any issues in fourth gear. By changing the gearing it would not only make it more functional by increasing it's top speed, but also make ot even cooler imo. Great job either way!!
That is truly exceptional: awesome work man! Keep on doing these awesome works!
Dude just built an electric car in 5 mins. His powers are unlimited
