No worry! I had the same experience with my v1.0 build after having the car on shelf for a year. The clutch gear was often cracking in 1st gear. That was the motivation for my redesign with v1.1. Now the car runs very smooth in 1st gear. I kept the total gear ratio constant from wheel to engine. Only the main drive shaft speeds up a little to reduce torque on the U-Joints.

Seems to be a new problem of rebrickable with comparing public custom lists. I need to check for that. But, you should be able to view this public custom list and compare by yourself: 42172 - Pimp up my McLaren v1.0.1

This link shows the new parts you need to build Pimp up my McLaren compared to v1.0.1 (which is identical to v1.0): https://rebrickable.com/sets/compare/slow/?1-set=&1-inv=&1-user_list=412031&2-set=MOC-198397&2-inv=244849&2-user_list=

I have released an update to Pimp up my McLaren with release v1.1. These are the new improvements: removing clutch gear in main drive shaft (steps 31, 91) gearing up main drive shaft higher revolution / reduced torque (steps 1, 31, 92, 173) reinforced gearbox less friction, better bearings (steps 90, 92, 99, 107) DNR gearbox => prevent 4L axle shift out when joining front and back modules (step 170) additional gear box blocker at HOG gear box switch for more precise shifting (steps 270-273) improved building instructions more easy to use higher level of modularity in submodels only 4 main parts (back, front, left, right) for chassis, easy to connect (steps 284-285, 330-331, 373-374) only 2 main parts (right, left) for roof (steps 420, 429) allows quicker disassembly and reassembly of unchanged submodels recolouring several parts for a cleaner look A closer look to the new drive train: The new modular design with only 4 main submodels for the chassis: After mounting these 4 submodels you are able to do a test drive: Have fun pimping up your McLaren!

After 3 years I have rebuild my Ferrari again. By doing this I made some small improvements on "Pimp up my Ferrari v1.1" I would like to share with you: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-121753/jb70/42143-pimp-up-my-f-e-r-r-a-r-i/#details I made 3 important changes: Reinfoced gearbox stepper solves a problem when switching between 4th and 5th gear. Adding a window the bottom frame for better view on the gearbox shifting mechanism: I reworked building instructions to be more easy to use. I combined some steps to bigger modules so it will be more easy to attach or remove this modules at once, if you make changes to previous steps.

After a few years I started rebuilding my Pimp up my Porsche again. It is a great pleasure to rebuild it again and by the way this helps to dust off your models ;-). And while doing this, I again found some improvements to this great MOD: - New Building Instructions with high res renderings, highlighted steps, continuous step numbers, extended modular build and better ease of use - Using new designed Stickers (https://library.ldraw.org/parts/sticker-sheets/1059) in Building Instructions and renderings - Free view to the complete gearbox from the underside of the chassis - Reinforced Body by - modified dashboard fixing to chassis - reinforced A-pillar at windscreen allows to grab the body or car at the roof with one hand If you like to Pimp up your Porsche again, please have look to this new update v1.5!

Inspired by @Piotr Mocko I modified the bottom of the chassis to have a clear view to the complete gearbox from the underside: And I reinforced the removable body. Now it is very robust and can be grabbed with one hand under the roof. Here is the improved section of the windscreen: Looks fine in the complete build.

i have replaced it by a 4L axle with stop. In the first days there was still an old v1.5 of Book 1 online. Please update your download to v1.6! You can read the release number on the title page.

After years I have rebuild my Bugatti and it was a lot of fun doing it again! While building, I revised my building instructions, including all stickers and step highlighting. And I found several details how to pimp it up again. So these are my latest improvements to Pimp up my Bugatti v1.6: revised building instructions with part highlighting and continuous step numbers and some improvements for ease of use added stickers to building instructions precise position of rear axle brake calipers (page 10, step 21 / page 13, step 31) better bearing of axle in front of W12 engine (page 53, step 102) reinforce HOG steering (page 61, step 108-113 / page 86, step 158 / page 93, step 169-177 / page 114, step 200-205 / page 300, step 492-506) reinforce DNR gearbox (page 66, step 120-128 / page 93, step 169-175 / page 127, step 225) reinforce Paddle Shifter (page 106, step 186-189 / page 110, step 195-196) reinforce HOG shifter (page 113, step 198 / page 124, step 217) reinforce HOG spoiler (page 206, steo 333 / page 128, step 351) reinforce door hinges (page 154, step 262 / page 163, step 277)

I have released a new v1.3 of Pimp up my Lamborghini with some minor upgrades! New features: Revised building instructions with part highlighting and continuous step numbers and some improvements for ease of use Using new printed parts in instructions and renderings Added 2 half pins next to center diff to allow free run when wheels are detached (step 34) Reinforced gearbox indexer with reduced friction for shifting (steps 40, 46, 62) Reinforced gear stepper (step 64, 116, 171) Smoother door mechanism by using non-friction pins and axles (steps 189, 192, 193, 203, 206, 435, 456)

Has been released today on https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-198397/jb70/42172-pimp-up-my-mclaren

And here is my next release Pimp up my McLaren v0.5: Digital model: https://bricksafe.com/files/jb70/42172-pimp-up-my-mclaren/history/v0.5/42172 - Pimp up my McLaren.mpd Building Instructions: https://bricksafe.com/files/jb70/42172-pimp-up-my-mclaren/history/v0.5/42172 - Pimp up my McLaren_Book1.pdf https://bricksafe.com/files/jb70/42172-pimp-up-my-mclaren/history/v0.5/42172 - Pimp up my McLaren_Book2.pdf New features: I improved the shifting process by replacing the universal joints with strong CV joints between paddle shifter and gearbox. Now it works very smooth without any backlash. And I improved the door mechanism by replacing most of the involved friction pins with non friction pins or axles. I added some reinforcements to the main door hinge and the lock which catches the closing door and holds it in place. Now the door opens easy and precise, keeps well in opened position, is more stable (less wabbly) and the closing door will always be safely catched in place. Next steps: I will add some final renderings to the building instructions, create part list and publish v1.0 on https://rebrickable.com/users/jb70/mocs/ soon.

The digital model of the original set has been updated. All new parts are now available and included.

@jbuccino Thank you for reviewing! I will fix these issues with the next release.
