Hi,

There isn’t any decent sea nearby where I live, but there are some river waves to be surfed.

Can anything learnt on that wave be transferred to ocean surfing? Paddling, popping up and wave reading are quite obviously out of question there, but is there anything I could practice on that wave and use later in the ocean?

Of course; any other comments and general feedback is highly welcomed.

Wave: Eisbachwelle E2, Munich, Germany
Surfer: male, 174cm, 68kg (5’8” 150lbs)
Board: 7’3” BIC Mini Malibu

Cheers!

Hello Everyone,

I hope that You’re enjoying the weekend, because I am.

I’ve moved on with my project and I’d like to share it with You!

I’ve added frame that motor is placed on, front suspension using McPherson struts, steering and clutch pedal.

Steering and gearbox is not motorised yet - probably next update will get that far.

Let me know what do You think

Hi creators,

I didn’t have an idea that there is a may challenge at all, I have simply found time for LEGO at last.
My next project is going to be 1:8 Subaru Impreza WRX STi from 2004 and I started from powertrain.

So here it comes:
2x BuWizz Buggy Motor simulating Boxer engine
4-Speed gear box with manual shifter, but motorising is optional
Functional friction clutch
Transmission has a regular layout of gears (H 1-2-3-4) which was a little challange.
All wheel drive
Compact packaging prepared for application in 1:8 MOC
Motorisation can be deactivated by pulling aside the shafts

Overall gear ratio (including diff) on each gear:
I: 5/63 (0,079)
II (edited on 10.05.2026@17:05GMT+1): 5/42 (1,119) prior edit: 25/252 (0,099)
III: 10/63 (0,159)
IV: (edited on 10.05.2026@17:05GMT+1): 5/21 (2,38) prior edit: 25/126 (0,198)

It’s still a prototype therefore harlequin painting. Once I recycle Škoda and Mercedes I’ll make it prettier.

What do You think?
