Fantastic work on yet another car. Your skills exponentially increase with each car you do. On another note have you considered building manual supercars? 

Hi Rishab, i cant see myself doing one in the near future. Not a fan of pushing my creations around, I absolutely love incorporating RC for funtions and it is tops for filming an edit.

Are there any rare or expensive parts to this build so I can check my stock?

Hi Technic Addict, this build has 10 Red#3 connectors, (19X) 19L red soft axles, (3X) 14L red soft axles, (6X) 11L red soft axles. (I'm not 100% sure if the 6X axles are 11L or 12L I will get back to you soon, starting the tear down photos tomorrow.)

Also there are at least 100+ 3L red beams, and 40+ 2L red beams. I would stock up on them for this build!

The back end was super complicated to build.

Looks much more simple together doesn't it?

I am sure you and Thorsten will be able to work it out to get the end result.

Red doesn't have many rare pieces, the only few you have should prepare to spend money on are 14L soft axle (11L is getting rare too), #3 connector and toggle joint. I don't know if this model includes any of those, but besides those, red is very cheap.

There are some other rare red parts ( not necessarily expensive) and there could be other rare parts which are not red and hidden.

Thanks for taking the time to do the tear down photos, I don't think most people including myself really know how much work that takes!

 

Hopefully they are not lost but I don't see pictures showing most of the body construction.  It skips from the front end being built to the end.

Did you use a V2 IR for the two XL motors and IR for servo and lights?  Any reason for not using an Sbrick again?

Ive got the photos. Google will only allow 500 photos at a time. So they selected 500 random photos of the 888 photos I took.  

I will upload them tonight and ensure all are there. Sorry, was in a rush today.

You can easily use the Sbrick if you like, the reason I did not use it was because I don't own one. Dugald does :)

No problem.  I likely won't start building until I have an inventory list.

Make sure your brother shares the buggy motors with you!

I'm sure this will be extremely difficult to create instructions for. My hat goes off to you Thorsten!

Solid! How can you be halfway done in 3 days? You are building this car faster than I was able to create tear down photos!

That's some pretty incredible work on the fenders.  Did you use a custom definition in LSynth, or did you position them manually?  When I did the exhaust manifolds on Barman's V-8, I managed to add the 2x2 round plate to LSynth as an object and have it auto generate this:
