For my final post of this year, I am proud to introduce the Range Rover Evoque with air ride.
The car was too black so I added white, it was too low so I raised it a stud and the hood wasn't
slanted enough so I re-created the front of the vehicle. I reduced the weight to 6.3 pounds (2850g)

The car functions really well, I highly suggest using an S-brick for this car as the receivers are hidden
behind the seats. This car has  4wd, air ride, torsion bar suspension, 2 XL motors for drive, 2 m motors for lift, V8,
servo for steering, gear shifter turns on the lights. The car is finally to a perfect scale. The hard parts of this
build was the air ride, torsion bar and having the doors start low at the front and higher at the back.
I bought a pair of custom chrome exhaust pipes for this built.

Lol yep, agreed. Actually I can barely afford this Lego version let alone the real thing! Lol

Awesome model. This is another testament to how amazing lego is. Try doing this with beanie babies.

Thanks dude! And so true, endless possibilities 

So I blew up my IR receiver trying to film this edit. I knew it was toast when it started to smell like burning. 

I had to get my Bro's Sbrick to make this a proper edit! I HAVE to purchase an S-brick. 

Anyway, I tried to show a variety of driving tests with this 4wd air ride SUV. Enjoy!

Thanks! Remote controlled is my favorite. Add so many functions to a vehicle.
