Technic Racer Frame

I wanted to share something a little different today. And for those in Melbourne, the reason will become clear very soon.

 

This is a Technic Racer frame. It's about as bare bones as it can be. It uses a servo motor for steering. But that's the only part I'd describe as uncommon.

 

Why am I sharing this? Because I want to demystify it for anyone who might be a LEGO fan, but has always felt a little intimidated by Technic building.

 

And truth is, there was a time when Technic intimidated me too. I put this together in under 20 minutes today so I could race it around the house with my son. It was so much fun I'll make a racing partner for it tomorrow. and I'll pretty it up along the way.

 

My point is really that you could do this too. In fact, I believe you could improve on it. So I wanted to offer this as a basic guide on how to make your own. A leaping off point if you will; and a way to start the conversation about Technic Racers.

 

There's more to come. This is only a start. So stay tuned, and let's see where this can take us.
