[MOD] 42037 ultimate

[agrof]

Hi All,

I ran into a sale (50% off), and couldn't resist to buy a copy of 42037. It was actually much more fun to build than I thought, pretty sturdy construction. 

Still, L4 engine? I had to change some bits of it... enjoy!

So cool! My son wants instructions! He has this model and added fake front and rear lights himself, but this would really finish it off!

The body looks great, the blue rims add a little more of fun into the model. 

I tried to add mods myself in January, successfully added the V8 engine, but failed to motorize it (with buggy motor of course ) Time to try again I guess :)

Thanks Guys! With original wheels it was just too much lime - no pop-out effect, and I wanted to have Hot-Wheels feeling with a bit exaggaration. 

LXF file available on Rebrickable, Daddy Didomus (would be great name in hip-hop scene! ) for sure can help.

I have this set and was able to motorize it using two L-motors. This looks pretty cool, might try this sometime soon. And see If I can motorize it. And I thought all-lime was cool.

Very cool MOD, you are giving me some ideas to make my own modifications, i have an idea to add a buggy motor to it, nice work on your own MOD.

Haha! He won't allow me helping him. He only builds from instructions. He even reads instructions as bed-time stories . But with the LXF, I'm sure we can work our way around that, thanks!

Btw, there are some pins sticking out fo the wheel covers in your renders. There appears to be something wrong with the placement of the rims and wheel hubs in the LXF-file. One more note on the MOD, I personally prefer Paul Boratko's (I believe he was the first, but I'm not sure) studless style of mounting the engine.

Yes, I couldn't find a workaround to place those correctly for some reason. I wish You great fun for building! :)

The rims are placed with the inside pointing outward. You should be able to copy these rims with covers into your LXF to replace the mal-placed ones . Your LXF-file also removes some parts when opened in LDD, because of the head lights colliding with a half bush. I'm sure this will fit in real life but in LDD this can be fixed by turning the 3L axle with knob around and attach the half bush at the back side. I also added this fix in the LXF-file with fixed rims.

At first i thought you really built it in red and that dark green but found out it was an edit thanks to those pink cylinders

[JunkstyleGio]

Indeed a very nice set.

Yet I couldn't resist to do some updates and extra's.

Removed the blue, extended the rear mudguard, added rear panels and lights and something like a frontfender.

 

 

 

 

And as a bonus i did a recoloring too. (not in RL yet)

[emielroumen]

It looks great in the red & grey combo! Perhaps the original set should have feature these colors, as I'm not a real fan of the neon-green.

Agrof, i missed your post first time around, but i love your ultimate version!

I always though it needed a V8 rather then an inline 4, your version absolutely confirms that!
