Inspiration struck, and with nothing else hogging up the MOC-building table, I was able to go for it immediately. This is going to be a series of vehicles, each with a distinct color scheme and style (hopefully), in the vein of my old "Hero Factory Racers" lineup. I think the next one will be yellow & orange, we'll see; it'll depend upon what parts jump out at me first.Video: LEGO Rail Rider Azul - Racing train MOCOriginal linkOriginal author: theJANG

I love it when things go according to plan, even when there isn't so much of a plan as a nostalgia-painted ethereal idea bolstered by some random Google Images action.

As promised, here's another LEGO body for a fully functioning 4WD radio controlled drift car, with more shells to come in the future. I hope to push still farther away from the original design with the next one, but it's oh, so tricky!Video: RC LEGO drift car body #2 in action! ?Original linkOriginal author: theJANG
