In this guide I hope to explain: How to build a police snow-plow. It is the police departments newest way of being able to successfully prevent those few tragic deaths during the winter months. It also doubles as a tank able to plow its way through certain buildings and terrains.
Required materials
one axle with 2 wheels
One car base with rear wheel drive and power (move it in reverse to get power so it moves forward)
A plow
Windshield
Flag that says “police” on it
A stool for comfortable sitting
A steering wheel
An aerodynamic racing car tail (like the formula race cars have)
And of course, the driver!
Step one
1.) Attach the axle with the two wheels to the far front of the undercarriage of the car base
2.) Gently place the windshield to the far front of the second level of the car base. Be careful not to crack it!
3.) Place the plow on the top of the far front of the first level of the car base. When the plow is lowered it should barely be off the ground.
4.) Attach the steering wheel to the top of the wind shield (for added height because lego people are tall)
5.) For added style attach the aerodynamic racing tail to the back of the car base
6.) Add a flag to the top of the windshield on the right side so that people know it’s the police their messing with when someone rear ends you.
7.) To start your engine place the wheels firmly on the ground and manually tow it in reverse to gain power until batteries are full.
*Note. It only starts in second gear so have a friend push it slightly forward so that it can start moving in second gear. It has limited use for long distance driving.
