Caterham 7s

A further possible design idea for model features for the LEGO Caterham Ideas project: ideas.lego.com/projects/87703

This one incorporates a linked steering assembly, so when one front wheel is turned, the opposite wheel turns with it. (see video)

It also features a working piston engine.

There are 2 connections within this version that I'm not sure of the legitimacy on. i.e. if they are "set friendly" (I "think" they should be okay, but I'm not 100% sure)

The bonnet / hood has again been slightly reworked to improve the stability of connections within it.

 

So, between the R500 and 620R there are now 2 legitimate workable designs, which can be produced in a range of colours

The features between both versions can be voted upon, as to which ones people would rather see in the final end version (IF) it were to ever make it through.

 

i.e. The 620R model, but with the R500 linked steering, static removable engine. In BRG with yellow stripes and grey bodywork / black wheel arches could be option no.1.

I'm also working on a 3rd design, which has the long flared fixed front wheel arches, full windscreen and removable side door pannels, again to throw a 3rd option of choices into the mix for the final design.

As previously mentioned, I will try to get a poll together for this "if" we reach around 8000 votes.
