Modular Platform System (MPS)

Probably the most popular vehicles to build MOCs are the Supercars.
We all love cars and the more fast and sports better, but if someone wants to make a Technic Supercar in big size and some complexity (scale 1/10 is the most used) and you don't have a good knowledge of the techniques, build it can be very complicated and end up as hopeless.

This system was created with the idea of ​​helping all those people who want to make a supercar at approx. scale 1/10 and still not have enough knowledge to start, or want to make a car with more advanced specs as Ackerman steering, camber angle and do not know how to do it.

What is a Modular Platform System?

A modular platform system is a set of mechanical elements 100% compatible with each other to suit your needs.

In this case the system haves of three elements: front axles, central chassis and rear axles.
These elements are designed so that you can combine as you like, you choose the front axle you want, the frame that you like and rear axle, join it directly and you have your perfect base for your Supercar!!


All axles are designed and tested for use 68.8x36 ZR tires which are very common and good aesthetics.

Elements description

Front Axles (code: F)

Standard design, rules for a 100% compatible axle with all chassis:

- The total width with wheels 68.8x36ZR has to be 25 studs (19 without wheels)
- The distance between the start of the chassis support point and the center axle of the wheel must be of 7.5 studs.
- The axle only can be attached to the chassis through the support points.
- The drive shaft must enter into the chassis by the center and 3 studs high.
- The drive shaft has to turn left when the car goes forward.

Recommendations for construction:

- Best if the steering column is on one side
- Be able to convert to right steering wheel easily
- Suspension movement between 1 and 2 studs
- Free space to the floor between 1 and 2 studs


Also each axle will have a Index card like this:

Standard: Y/N ->why?
Max. shock adsorvers allowed: max. shock absorvers you can put for each wheel
Space for an auxiliary transmission under the differential: Y/N
Easy conversion to right steering wheel:Y/N
Advanced steering ans suspension geometry:
 - Ackerman steering

 - Camber angle

 - Caster angle

 - Kingpin inclination

Notes: Another information about the axle


Chassis (or Frame) (code: C)

Standard design, rules for a 100% compatible chassis with all axles:

- The front support points must be like this picture:

- The rear support points must be like this  picture:

- The chassis can not continue out the start of support points, like this picture:

- It must have space to connect the drive shaft of both axles

Recommendations for construction:

- Find the best rigidity but using minimum space
- Try to change the length(and therefore the wheel base) was as easy as possible


Also each chassis will have a Index card like this:

Standard: Y/N->why?
Wheel base: Total wheel base including axles
Width: total width od the chasis
Strength test:
 - Load
 - Torsion
Notes: Another information about the chassis.

Rear axles (code: R)

Standard design, rules for a 100% compatible axle with all chassis:

- The total width with wheels 68.8x36ZR has to be 25 studs (19 without wheels)
- The distance between the start of the chassis support point and the center axle of the wheel must be of 5.5 studs.
- The axle only can be attached to the chassis through the support points.
- The drive shaft must enter into the chassis by the center and 3 studs high.
- The drive shaft has to turn left when the car goes forward.

Recommendations for construction:

- Suspension movement between 1 and 2 studs
- Free space to the floor between 1 and 2 studs


Also each axle will have a Index card like this:

Standard: Y/N->why?
Max shock adsorvers allowed:
Advanced suspension geometry (Camber angle):

You can download all axles and chassis in only one link in the INSTRUCTIONS page, enter and access to the Download folder

Comming soon I will add some axles and chassis, and move this post to a new page inside this website, you will can see it in the top of the page. Stay tuned!!
