Ecto 1 lego length12/28/2023 So if you want to buy a light and sound kit anyway, you can get a good one AND my instructions for almost the same price as just the kit! And honestly, after I installed my light kit. But, good news, I found a good Light & Sound kit for myself and I like it so much, I talked to them and got you a 15 % disount on the light kit, i used. Okay, yes, the lights are more important than the motors. ★ Lights & Sound Kit (15% Discount with this MOC) I have seen someone attempting to use it: the steering always bangs from left to right - looks like somebody driving first time. You will still need a Large Technic Motor for the steering though. That thing is so ugly that nobody will use it for long and the documentation on powered up is so hard to get by that hardly anyone will try to build anything with it, so chances are good to get almost new ones. A very cheap way to get the Bluetooth Hub and 2 M-Motors (only one needed): Buy the 76112 Batmobile second hand somewhere. So no need to buy the somewhat expensive Buwizz or S-Brick. But the new Large Motor is really good.Īlso - after decades of outdated and lame infrared controls - LEGO went for bluetooth (welcome to the 21st century guys ) That is a bit tricky to figure out because the documentation is bad. So they will slowly vanish off the marcket. Lego stopped selling Power Functions in 2020. I added some descriptions on how to dissamble and re-assammble the Ecto-1 in chunks, so it will be quick and painless for you. If you have already built it, you will need a few hours only to retrofit the base frame. ★ Instructions for retrofitting a built up Ecto-1 So when you build from a new box you can mostly stick to the numbering of the bags and it will need hardly any extra time at all. My instructions will lead you to a complete Ecto-1 from the beginning with detailed step by step instructions and I tell you where exactly to continue in the original instructions. Roof top equipment moves and steering wheel too. So all the gadgets and small decorations inside the ecto stay untouched. It took me a few days to figure that one out! Inside, the seat still looks the same (almost, LEGO made it two seats but in reality it's a bench so I 'corrected' that) and the car frame is stable, but now you can swap batteries from underneath. So I completely rebuilt the car frame and the front seat around the Battery. Besides, putting it in the trunk would make it neccesairy to take off the roof with all the equipment every time, too anoying, especially if you go for a light kit. I saw some onther builds, they all put the batteries into the trunk, no way! I like all the little details back there and wouldn't want to block the gadgets or even the view. It is slim and dark bluish gray so it replaces that kardan drive below the front seat perfectly. It can act like a servo, because it has an internal position sensor. That thing is just made to be used for the steering. This is the only Ecto-1 Motorization using LEGO's Powered Up Large Technic Motor. This build is the least invasive motorization for the Ecto-1 you can get, yet fully functional. Lights kit installed see below, because it is not in the video.
