After building the 42069 Extreme Adventure set the next challenge was to motorize it. Luckily the set has a spacious internal structure, it is pretty easy to squeeze in several Power Functions components. The aim was to add the Power Functions parts without taking apart the set completely or to change the original structure, so obviously there are more elegant ways to hide all the motors and to upgrade the suspension and the drive train. The list of the added elements:
4 PF L motors (drive)
1 PF Servo motor (steering)
3 PF M motors (functions)
1 PF switch
2 8878 Battery boxes
4 PF lights
2 SBricks
The performance of the car is pretty ok, it can drive on grass and gravel as well. I was expecting a little bit more with the direct drive of the 4 L motors, but the weight increased as well significantly with all the added components. I’m not planning to create any instructions, but here are some more photos of the mod, it will help you to create your own version:
