NRE Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) Been working on some updates to the 42161 Huracan to fix issues with likeness to the real car and some functional tweaks too: Significant front end re-design to better match shaping of real car Redesigned area behind doors, including moving the upper technic panels inboard 1 stud to get rid of that horrible overhang over the wheel arches Rear end redesign to better match real car, inc wider diffuser, wider spaced exhausts, lowered wing, general tweaking of the shaping Removed blue and red pins & axles from the exterior Opening engine cover Rack and pinion steering with mild ackerman geo and tighter turn radius to fix the nasty standard setup (lots of slack, very twitchy!) Will be working on instructions at some point to add to the 1:16 car collection at https://rebrickable.com/users/Lego_Tech/mocs/! EDIT: Instructions now available at https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-161566/Lego_Tech/ultimate-lamborghini-huracan-42161/#details Edited October 17, 2023 by NRE Added link Quote
Teo LEGO Technic Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 Wow, that's an impressive improvement! I'm especially a fan of what you've done with the rear. The brick-built panelling covering the rear wheels improves the shape a lot, and by reducing the distance between the fender piece and the panel above it you've made the car look much more put together. Great work! Quote
NRE Posted October 5, 2023 Author Posted October 5, 2023 Thanks for the comments - moving that panel inboard 1 stud and sitting slightly lower makes such a difference to the looks of the back half, can't believe the Lego design didn't do this... Quote
karmadrome Posted October 6, 2023 Posted October 6, 2023 Great improvements! Also, your photos really show the horrible colour inconsistencies of this set, it's worse than I thought.. Quote
NRE Posted October 6, 2023 Author Posted October 6, 2023 Yes my photos really seem to have highlighted the colour variation to the max! Such a shame It would look great in other colours but don't think I have all of the parts for a colour swap... Quote
zoo Posted October 6, 2023 Posted October 6, 2023 Looks very nice! Good work! I think it would benefit from some other colour wheels. No idea of what would look good though. Flat silver maybe? Quote
