sm 01 Posted August 14, 2014 Author Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) I think for it to qualify for Ideas it would have to be a much different car. Besides the idea itself, the sets seem to range from $20 to $50. I'd rather it be 1500-2000 piece Technic set for about $200 like the 4x4 crawler! If I could buy this set, I'd buy two and make a Rat Rod version. I'd chop the top more, add some custom rust and bondo stickers, take off the mufflers, and possibly use a different color for one panel. :) I like the way you think! Rat theme is great! I need to get some brown parts for future projects... This is a great MOC. Great looks and loads of functions. Well done Thanks! I'm glad you like it. Edited August 14, 2014 by sm 01 Quote
BusterHaus Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 Thanks for the second video! Looks pretty speedy for a model that size. Quote
Chapachuk Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 Its awesome. From the first look it doesnt seems that it has so much functions. Cant wait your next project... Quote
sm 01 Posted August 15, 2014 Author Posted August 15, 2014 Wauw!!!!! Thanks for the second video! Looks pretty speedy for a model that size. Yes, 2L motors are powerful enough for its weight (1285g - approximately 200g lighter than Crawler 9398 with same combination of motors) and I've tried to make it as light as possible, without compromising the looks (for example, I used hose soft axles for seats to save some weight). Its awesome. From the first look it doesnt seems that it has so much functions. Cant wait your next project... Thank you, I'm glad you like it! Especially thanks for your "second look"! Quote
kieran Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 No idea how I missed this for so long, it looks great, I really like black, I also really like how got packed so much in and the video(s) are spot on as well, nice a simple to the point. thanks for sharing Quote

I'm especially happy that you like my videos too. I always put much time and effort to build part but then fear that I would mess up the presentation... Quote
OneMoreRobot Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Nice model, I like the engine intake area. Indicator idea is cool, would have saved them for another model - Hot Rods don't have indicators. Keep it, don't break it down - show it at some Lego User Expo's and inspire others. Keep up the good work. Quote
Only Sinner Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 This hot rod truck is so amazing! I love all the detail and features in it, and I can tell you really put a lot of effort into this to make it look authentic. I am an actual hot rod / kustom enthusiast so I know a little something about this sort of thing. Every time someone builds a vehicle like this, I get so excited, but your truck here really made my jaw drop, Like this --> Thank you for sharing this wonderful LEGO treasure. Quote

Thank you for your comment! You've really made my day! I'm so happy that it looks good to the real hot rods enthusiast! Here in Croatia, we can see hot rods only on the Internet and maybe TV. I tried to make it look realistic but I know that I still have lot to learn... Superb!!!!! Thanks! Quote
m0dulo Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 I really didn't know that hot rods don't have indicators thanks for the suggestions. If indicators refers to turn signals and brake lights, they have to have them in the US if you want to drive it on a road legally. Quote
sm 01 Posted August 18, 2014 Author Posted August 18, 2014 If indicators refers to turn signals and brake lights, they have to have them in the US if you want to drive it on a road legally. I thought so, thanks for clarification! Quote

Kelkschiz Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Wow, that's darn impressive. Love how you implemented the functions, very elegant. Very compact building with lots of detail. Quote

HorcikDesigns Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 I love the way it's design is close to the original one... (and not just because I like Hot-Rods generally. :D ) Quote
Belair58 Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Hi, I like this HotRod, you can see on my Website (steinesucht.de) I build also some. Did you support a Instruction to build ? Stefan Quote
