42123 McLaren Senna GTR [VIDEO REVIEW]

[Sariel]

OK, so this set comes as a successor to the somewhat controversial 42093 Corvette set, and long story short, I'm blown away by how much of a MASSIVE improvement it is:

Hmmm, I didn't see those five stars coming. Thanks for the review.

With the Ducati is the second licensed set I consider very cheap for its part list. If I wanted blue pieces I would sure go to get it but I will confor myself building it for pleasure in any color, thank you for the review.

It is far better than the corvette set ! more details, but I want 1:8 scale version

The no diff part is just lazy.

Not a bad Racers set!

I thought so too, but I struggle to imagine how you’d fit it in there, given how close it is. If anyone figures out how I’d be keen to see

Looking at this @VBBN picture

it seems, that it could be possible with some "half" parts. As building instructions are available, I could try later.

[Bartybum]

@Jurss Ah yeah, that picture shows it pretty well. The engine would need to be completely redesigned for a differential to fit. Could probably be done, but it'd take some effort.

EDIT: It seems that some people have already redesigned it, wew

I'd make the engine block shorter and move it 1 stud forward.

And you (comparing it to your LPE) call this engine 

@Sariel very nice and detailed review (as always) 

[Jurss]

Differenetial, woeking steering wheel and other mods here

Anyway, really nice set for building (from parts I have). I somehow enjoying it. It is rally eveloution comparing to corvette.

[Vectormatic]

Im quite surprised by the high score for this set. I can see that is looks better and is more detailed then the corvette, but a $10 pricehike, and it loses the diff (which others have already managed to integrate) to me sounds like a nett loss.

 

I might see how close i can get to building this from parts.

[Jurss]

I was also sceptic about this. But it is somehow really better, especially after (and "because" for me) mods. I will write in that other topic, what i used in place of those new panels.
