The inspiration for the vehicle came from the speeders from star wars and the sparrow from destiny.
This vehicle was a challenge that i made to myself, to build something only using the parts from the Porsche, so i used something of everything, even one of the tires on the front.
Specifications:
The main base of the Vortex V8 is the bottom. I used most of the same parts for the base as the Porsche did. The base tretch from the very front to the very back.
The main body was re-designed, re-thought and and post modified for the “hood”. Speaking about the hood. It can be lifted forward using one technic beam connected to the front section. In the storage space you can fit most standard bionicle/hero factory weapons and costom weapons, or jam the hood down and connect it to the main body.
The size of the Vortex V8 are, to say the least, large. The vehicle is about 70 centimeters long, 30-40 centimeters wide and 10 centimeters tall. So its larger than the Porsche.
I hope this vehicle might give you some insperation and im looking farward for constructive comments, how can i improove this vehicle only using parts from the Porsche.
It’s amazing! I feel like Technic vehicles work very well with Bionicle/Constraction, yet I see very few people actually building such vehicles.
Great Job! I love the complexity and the color!
Fantastically designed, really cool details. The overall look is awesome but then those gears and tube greebles on the inside make it so much better, great job!
Also I have an idea to maybe improve it. you could make a proper motorcycle steering wheel, because now I don’t really see what the person is holding on to when he’s cruising through the wind
Just something to consider maybe.
I always considered buying a technic set and converting it into a vehicle but never followed through due to doubting my skills and the price of those sets. Now that I see that someone has done it its only appropriate if I finally follow through. Might I say that this is one hot build. Its like the Axalara T9 if it smoked Energized Protodermis. I didn’t realize how big it was until I saw the rider on XD! The one and only complaint I have here is the overly exposed underside but that is to be expected. With all that exposed underbelly you could probably make a stand for it. Overall amazing job on this!
I really like that you brought up the underbelly. I have done quite a few modifications to the Vortex V8/9 since this. One of this was to add a stand for it.
