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 But the new Large Motor is really good.Īlso - after decades of outdated and lame infrared controls - LEGO went for bluetooth - at last, welcome to the 21st century guys ) That is a bit tricky to figure out because the documentation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.
#Lego ecto 1 how to
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 even stick to the Numbering of the bags and it will hardly need any extra time at all. I work with the original instruction and tell you, which steps to do differently (with detailed step by step instructions). Sure, my instructions will lead you to a complete Ecto-1 from the beginning. 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. instructions for new builds and retrofitting.Lego POWERED UP Bluetooth Remote Control.15% Discount on this light&sound kit included - yeehaa!

With a smaller Ghostbusters car, the fire station can also be smaller, and as a result more affordable. The Ghostbusters fire station is not part of this proposal, but could be sold as a separate set.

The rear door can open, and from the back of the car a stretcher holding the Ghostbusters' equipment can slide out.Įcto-1 can be converted into Ecto-1a from the movie Ghostbusters II by replacing the rooftop elements, changing the color of the searchlight, replacing the license plates, and replacing the rear bumper with a red horizontal plate. If you would like a Lego city scale Ghostbusters set, please support this project.Įcto-1, the overhauled hearse Cadillac from the movie Ghostbusters. To remedy these problems I have created my own Ghostbusters Lego set. 3) A bigger model means more bricks, and more bricks means a more expensive Lego set. I don't want a Ghostbusters Lego set which is only meant to sit on a shelf, I want a Ghostbusters Lego set which is meant to be played with together with existing Lego city sets (and can also be displayed on a shelf). 2) The car will look out of place next to other Lego city sets. They should not look small next to their car. The Ghostbuster minifigs will have to be an important part of any Ghostbuster Lego set. This leads to a few problems: 1) The minifigs look small compared to the car. While the overall design of this project is very good, I feel the size of the Ghostbusters car which is a part of this set is too big. I am aware that there currently is a Ghostbusters CUUSOO project in the product stage.
