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?
@@gracengeier1149 That's a very nice offer, but I can find them and I would feel bad taking away yours from your collection:)
probably its direct drive. adding a differential might fix that torque steer.
Needs a neutral play adjustable rack I suppose. Baby steps.
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?
I knew this could be done in Lego, but I never expected it could be so compact as well! Seriously amazing job
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...
How in the world did I get 800 likes? 😳
The official Lego Lamborghini Sian has a paddle shifting gearbox with drive neutral and reverse
And stylish as hell
Pls submit this to ideas
Congratulations. You have built the most complex and compact technical lego build.
Simply unbelievable.
And it looks great too!
This would be an instant hit as a Lego product. But they are not good enough to come up with something as good and sophisticated as this.
@@christocan4710 even worse, they just busy try to sell a damn expensive Black Panther Head. Not even life size!
@@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?
Anyone notice how in the compact version the clutch is the first to release and last to be reapplied? Small detail but incredibly important. Genius.
COMFORTABLE INTERIOR had me laughing hard
This could easily be an official set. Absolutely fantastic.
@@ikillwithyourtruthholdagai2000 even if my wallets will cry, i will get my hands on this masterpiece
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.
If LEgo would stock this it will likely cost 2k or more. And then you get the shitty control+ app.
@@NineSun001 Don't forget LEGO letting a unicorn puke into the interior, giving you bricks in all colors of the rainbow.
@@LosashExote what are the illegal connections and why?
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 This would be practical in class building for all types of students of all ages!
I'm a student majoring electronics engeneering in korea university; and this video is so impressive :O
@@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.
This is probably the coolest Lego build I’ve ever seen! Working gearbox and clutch… that’s so neat.
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!
there are not enough thumbs in this world for this video, outstanding job
Steve and george, where are they?
Is that you car pal
No way it carpal!!!!!!!!!
@@ahyaan2552
d e a d . They’ve died 100 times already. 😂
Did not expect to find car pal here
seeing the transformation from 3:12 to the compacted build in the car is jaw-dropping
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.
Thanks for your support and
Lego needs to hire this guy! Incredible! Not only does it function incredibly well, but you made it look great as well!
Legit, this needs to be made into a Technic set.
@@racer927 it burns the clutch over time so lego won't allow it
@@racer927 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 Fair enough.
@@fruitygranulizer540 I am 13 years old and would love to make this build. When I was 12 I build the Apollo rocket and recently made the typewriter. This person has a wide verity of audience.
Wow. As a test-driver and development engineer i have to say, youve built this thing way better than some manufacturers i have to work with, no joke....
That’s kinda scary, like what if their cheap and flimsy designs break while I’m driving
@@radium4194 buy a Nokia. Those things never break. Sad thing is, they don't make great cars.
@@cadenhood they do make great reliable cars, they’re called 90s-early 2000s Toyota pickup trucks.
@@radium4194 unfortunately exactly that happens on a much larger scale than you could ever imagine, one of the reasons why i left the automotive industrie a while back and now only buy jap made toyotas or lexus, nothing else
@@Driftuner yup, japanese integrity to making sure their cars are durable is admirable, although even they are starting to change in order to keep up with the market.
that's why i always stick with used japanese cars that are well known for reliability.
That 90° stepper mechanism is genius.
so impressed with your video, keep it up buddy
2:43 when you started shifting in all that i was literally blown away, honestly man that’s really f$#@ing impressive
I'm a Lego collector, I Love anything RC and gaming as well Yes, this is a ingenious masterpiece that has combined my 3 favorite things together..But, how did you get a Playstation controller to control it all???
@@allenduncan4813 BuWizz is a third-party system that is compatible with lego that enables different controller options, like the one that you saw in the video.
@@traderjohann3587 Definitely looking into this, Thank you. I have some performance rc vehicles, Traxxas, hpi, arrma ect. There all pretty fast and I've been Really wanting to use my PS4 controllers to race them. Buwizz. Thank you very much. Btw, most servos, generic or otherwise, can be opened up either from the top or bottom, revealing the gears. If you can pull the very top gear without moving anything else and rotate it left or right by one tooth at a time, eventually your steering will be perfect. A trick I learned when I couldn't adjust the trim on a servo I had.
Lost for words.. this is the most incredible thing. What an amazing talent you have for using Lego, engineering and videography. 10/10
The bit at the end with music and a first person view was really relaxing and almost as awesome as the build itself.
This is insane, I wonder how many hours you spent building this from scratch
No idea in hours. But it took a while unitl it worked. This car is the 3rd or 4th version. Took me about 3 weeks:)
@@BrickTechnology 😲
@@BrickTechnology Exactly 3 weeks would be..
7×3=21
24×20=480
480+24=504 hours
@@JDRed117 And even that would be extremely impressive for such a complex, yet compact and beautiful build… to think it took even less than that, this man is a true genius
@@JDRed117 I'm sure he didn't spend the whole of 24hours each day working on it 😂. More likely 3-5 hours a day on average around other things I'm sure he has going on. Would be closer to 21*5 which is 105 hours, if that👍
5:31 yes that's preety comfortable
Your work is ingenious. I love the fact that you make it into a lesson and show us how it works. The legos are also a plus because for some reason I’m able to understand the design better with legos.
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 honestly needs to be made into an official Lego set. Given how the car looks, it would be AWSOME if you rebuilt this to look like cruella deville’s car, and submitted it to Lego ideas as a Disney Rc car ultimate collectors set with working clutch and all.
Yea but lego won't ever introduce this as a set because they first need the car to have every single detail including interior and then funktionality and this will not work :(
(ps: sorry for my terrible english)

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.
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
The thing I always find the most impressive about your videos is that you can make things so compact but still strong. I really want to try doing stuff like this, but I don't have enough bricks and legos have gotten really expensive.
I truly believe this guy should work for lego, this is just amazing!!
no, Lego just want to sell cheap sets expensive. He should work with Cada
@@hansrduch4793 Totally agree, CADA bricks hire MOC designers like this and pay them for their hard work!
Lego Technic, upgraded version
@@hansrduch4793 tipical kapitalists (Lego)
@@hansrduch4793 exactly. they make a few specialty parts so that their technic sets can't be made with readily available lego parts, and then overprice the shit out of their sets. this is what happens when a company has a monopoly on a niche product.

I wished I understood better all that allows you to do what you do, but regardless of my level of knowledge, your channel is just a joy to watch. Cheers!
his technical knowledge is standard for almost any mechanical engineer out there, even undergrad college students.
however, his ability to apply that knowledge in such an informative and fun way, and being able to put it together in legos, and even make the final product look nicer than most lego technic cars ALL by himself is really impressive.
@@fruitygranulizer540 I agree
Everyday this man is getting closer and closer to building a real car out of Lego
As a MOC builder who uses Lego technic a lot I understand how long it takes to perfect a build. Trial and error, different version and techniques. I respect your dedication and skill.
Thanks for your support
Amazing build! Not only did you make a four-speed sequential shift manual transmission out of Lego, you made it insanely compact too!
Dude, you're kinduva total hero for me. Ok the single whiteboxes of functionalities (ok...ish!, it would take me eves as well to understand and correctly use, let's say, the gearbox)) but the add up to the final result is enlightening! That's really the best display of lego's modularity - which btw to me is its best attribute - usage one could realize 👏👏👏
I like that this one had color, one of these you should use as much random colors as you have. So when it's done it looks like something you would make as a kid with whatever pieces you had lol.
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.
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 know this would be like a $500+ set, but man I need one of these! great job dude! :D
If this was an official set I'd probably end up buying this. 10/10
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/
This needs to be an official set. It’s incredible

@@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
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.
Like my 1983 Mercedes 240D and I remember having to slap down to one on an automatic transmission. Thing did 0-60 in two weeks. Best car ever to be beaten on foot
and at around 1:25, he finally realizes he's a grown man still playing with legos
like everyone else here
**winks**
@@n2m3 yeah
Ok of all your builds this is the one I really really want, bloody mechanical masterpiece
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.
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

7:07 “thanks creator, now i can enjoy the life and freedom”
That is truly exceptional: awesome work man! Keep on doing these awesome works!
Absolutely incredible how you packaged that into a beautiful looking body. Great job.
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.
If lego would make this as a building kit, I'd instantly buy it. This is very nice!
The footage at the end was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
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!
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 had the biggest smile on my face the entire video. I really love what you do with these bricks.
Thank you for the existential dread with the “What am I doing with my life” ❤
that fact that he snad-papers down his legos to make his designs more effective is on a whole other level
I still can’t get over the fact that everything is so compact
It really makes that whine sound, loved it🔥
I literally googled for this 1 minute ago and you posted this video. thanks man
❤
This could let people learn soo much about transmission and gearboxes in a fun way! Superb job!
I truly believe this guy should work for lego, this is just amazing 😍😍😍😍
I stumbled upon your captivating video where you ingeniously crafted an RC car using Lego Technic. Your attention to detail and creativity left me in awe! 🙌
I’ve always harbored a desire to build my own remote-controlled car, but I find myself at a loss when it comes to where to begin. Your expertise shines through, and I wonder if you’d consider creating a tutorial video. Perhaps you could guide us through the fundamental steps of constructing an RC car? It would be immensely helpful for aspiring builders like myself.
Looking forward to more inspiring content from you!
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… 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Brillaint work getting the mechanism so compact. Very well done!
that thing is faster than regular rc cars as well... holy damn that is mad respect for you I have there
the fact this man made what is essentially a 4 speed dogbox using lego technic pieces is REALLY impressive
6:54 that's so cool! Looks like a F1 onboard cam
Amazing build. Pure Talent. Would love to see an assembly guide
This is some BMW level complexity right here, this is how outrageously complex and hard to work on those cars are, but in a much bigger scale and very hard to work on!
bro love to hear the sound of lego pieces when attached to each other
2:01 I love how the first thing to fall was the motor itself. xD
I was absolutely fluttered when you made a real clutch mechanism with those. Excellent content.
Wow Lego should adopt this car!
Its official... we need rc lego car racing !!
i finally somewhat understand how internals of a manual work thanks to this demonstration
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!
As a Lego Minifigure who likes getting ground up by exposed gears, I approve of the interior design.
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!
That's a nice little piece of engineering
this needs to be an official set.its incredible experience
Blown away by how compact the whole system became, amazing job!
I hope Lego designers are watching and get inspired! Very cool build 😍
you should win some type of award for this MOC. Unreal stuff.
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.
Petition to make this the next Lego Ideas set please
The roads are so aesthetic in the end

This needs to be an official set. It’s incredible
That fast forward with sounds is so satisfying
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!
In 94 i created a 2 gear Automatic vehincle with Lego i uploaded in 2011. todays Lego Parts are of another Level. Respect ❤
This is what lego technic wants to be
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
I may not understand its mechanism but its still amazing as heck to see the process and the build in action, good work
great science..
so much to learn!!!
bru, this is to cool. this got to be a lego set later!
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
Mindblowing! I am amazed by the way how you build these mechanisms in such a compact way. It was not for the first time and probably not for the last time.
Congrats!
This lil car is going places
