This a modification of Lego set 42037 Formula Off-Roader.
The goal was to build a motorized version without loosing the feeling of the original. Because of that, my main constraint was to keep the seat, since that seems to be the preferred place to put some of the Power Functions components.
I decided to change the motor for a V6 version because it's shorter and it allowed me to place the servo under it while keeping the original ground clearance.
I'm happy with the final product. I think it looks like a deluxe version of the original.
It also performs well. In the video I used a V2 receiver and 8 rechargeable batteries.
UPDATE: Axle was missing from rear wheels. Now fixed. Uploaded 21/12/2017
Pieces added: 2x Technic Axel #3 and 4x CV Joints
UPDATE 20-06-2018: Missing connection added. It connects the fake motor to the rear differential.
Pieces added: 1x Technic Axle #3, 1x Technic Gear 8 Tooth and 1x Technic Gear 20 Tooth Double Bevel.

The details of the right colors were missing. So it turned out how it happened.
