I know it's slightly off-topic, but isn't this cute? Mini LEGO Volvo ECR88D

I didn't think such angles would be remotely possible with LEGO. Splendid looking galleon!

So much for fastest PUp car :))

I was just about to post that too. Nice find and glad it's lucky number seven. Now we just need to find out the exact angle. My bet is still 165°.

And now it makes sense why a differential was needed...

Nice one! Now do this as a B-model for the G-Wagon. ;)

Here's the Studio model of the gearbox including the new parts as mock-ups. 42172.io Was pretty tedious to make using a stream build video alone. The new shift drum profile is completely different from the Yamaha. It basically replaces the orange changeover ring used previously and follows 90° increments (Yamaha shift drum used 120° increments).

As suspected, the shift drum is not simply a recolor but a new part with aligned axle holes. The new suspension forks are made of a softer material so there is no risk of cracking them on off-road terrain or rough play. Overall a nice parts pack albeit in a new color that will not be useful to MOC'ers with large part collections.

One would think that at least at nearly 1:1 scale LEGO would get rid of the ugly blue pins and yellow axles, but they have to stick to their brand values lol.

I've fixed the diff in my Studio model. Right photo is from dylanchow's IG.

What rare rings? Just because they haven't been used in a set in this color yet, doesn't make them rare. The part out value of this GWP is 30€, I checked. You can easily rebrick it and it's still cheaper than the discount you will save if you buy the McLaren later on.

Yes, you are right. Forgot to fix that end of the diff. to the frame.

On lego.com -> Bricks and Pieces and search for set number in either the element nr. or set nr. field. The newest sets are not yet listed.

Here's my reverse engineered GWP. Probably 99% accurate: 5008946.io And the mechanism:
