I pick the Hornet in Metallic Green. (This is not one of the official color variants I posted before. The connector at the front of the car and the connector near the top of the steering mechanism aren't available in Metallic Green, but the fairings are, and I really like that color.) Here is the model I plan to build in real life, with some modifications at the rear for added stability and improved appearance. Click the image for a larger picture, or click here to download the LXF file. Anyone else can volunteer to build and photograph other models/colors if they want. lol username 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dromestars Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Love the Hornet! I´m still waiting for some parts for the Torq Racer. Especially the RoboRaiders heads and the outer cable are hard to find, but maybe I can borrow them from other sets to post some pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my digital verson of the Torq Racer, I used the outer cables only because the 19L soft axles (part #32235) I wanted to use weren't flexible in LDD. If you have 19L soft axles, feel free to use them instead of the outer cables. dromestars 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dromestars Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Today I finally finished the Torq Racer. Here`s what it looks like: I decided to use red parts, making it look just like Katu`s car in the game. Team R.E.D. Building this car was like a childhood dream coming true... @Toa_Of_Justice: I think I`ll stick to the outer cables, as the soft axles won`t allow you to mount the headlights. Things to be done: replacing the borrowed parts, getting connectors in the right colour and finding a way to keep the red RoboRaider head in its place Toa_Of_Justice and Yajmo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa_Of_Justice Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 Great job, dromestars! I'm glad you were able to find the outer cables. Did those clear 1x1 round plates with holes come from BrickLink, or did you just drill holes in ordinary clear 1x1 round plates? Also, where did that large round gray/silver thing come from? It works very well as a display base! To keep the RoboRiders head in place, may I suggest a rubber band, perhaps looped around the red axle and the black part under it in this screenshot?

dromestars Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Rubberband should work just fine Yes, the transparent 1x1 plates were drilled, I just couldn`t find the original parts anywhere. The display was part of a Hot Wheels Shogun Racers car set. This series appeared in 2000. The cars had a wind-up function which could turn them into a snowmobile, a jet or a boat. Just google it Toa_Of_Justice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
