More on the Mustang product

I'd like to say a bit more on the Mustang product that we're preparing, so that everybody knows what exactly to expect.

The car will be an approximate scale model of the 2011 Ford Mustang. It will feature front Macpherson suspension, with a lower L arm and rack and pinion steering. The rear suspension will be a live axle, guided with 4 links and coilover springs and dampers. It'll have unibody construction, realistic locking doors, hood and trunklid. Estimated target weight of the car without engine and with wheels is about 3.2 kilograms

The basic car package will not include a drivetrain.

You will be able to mount any 1:8 rc car wheels on the car that have a 17hex mount. We will probably make the wheels an option on the product order page. In order to mount the wheels we will supply the adapter, which will be included in the price.

The car will make use of a few more modified pieces, which costumers will of course get with the purchase.

Since the instructions of the car body itself will be made in Lego Digital Designer (LDD), we are thinking of not supplying the building materials for the car ourself. LDD makes it possible to simply order it from the lego store. And you can even choose the color of the car yourself.

The car will have a very large engine bay and gearbox tunnel, allowing you to power it with a wide range of possible engine/gearbox combinations. Either you use one of our engines, or build your own, or even use electric motors. It is up to you.

There will also be no steering motorisation, since we do not have a r/c system ourselves. Again, your ingineuity will be required.

So... this is what you can expect. Just in case you're wondering why we're not selling the car as seen in the videos..  The reason is very simple. It's not up to standards. We want to give you the best we can, not just anything. I am working on the car as fast as i can and will post regular updates of the state of the car on the page and on my twitter feed, so subscribe and please leave your comments, suggestions and/or wishes in the comments below this article.
