Hey everyone, here's a simple post for the Christmas season. I just wanted to get something out there, and the 50-part challenge allowed me to post something simple. So....
-What Is this?
It's a simple city car meant to showcase the design philosophy of my future GIAT cars. (I'm already working on a B0X1 restyling that integrates some of these elements). Simplicity is the main focus of the build, so it's rather "bare-bones" (it doesn't have any suspension), but I did take the occasion to use a new VTOL-based driving system, designed to behave more like a real automatic transmission, which I recently developed.
Since I mentioned it, let me tell you how it works!
-Controls
Outside this new drive system, it doesn't have any other big features. After all, it's a concept car made with only 50 parts, so I had to keep only what's enough.
So here's a quick rundown on the controls:
Yaw=Blinkers
VTOL up + Pitch up= drive
VTOL down + Pitch up= reverse
VTOL to 0= Neutral
