My thought too. Especially the one at the bottom doesn't make sense.

Period.

As long as they mate with their own species, that is with other CV-pieces, the piece with the axle is the female piece, as it receives the male piece.

I suppose the CV-joint is intended to handle it's variable length.

This is in fact the '42115 mods and improvements speculation' topic.

They also experimented with the existing fender panels...

The way it's used here is just convenience. I have never laid my hand on one either, so don't know about rigidity.

Nice...

There are gears underneath that beam in a second large frame.

If they had learned from the Pimped Up Chiron, they would not have done the gears close to the exhausts.

Exactly! I would say the rear suspension looks very sturdy.

This appears to be the exact same layout as the Chiron. They haven't learned.

Didn't know about the kickdown. Makes sense. Thanks!

This is not really new, but it is the first application in a vehicle that I come across. @Charbel did something like this and I've seen something similar with a shock absorber. The general issue I have with these kind of gearboxes is this: Imagine you are driving a steady pace in 3rd gear. Now you open the throttle wide, with the idea to accelerate quickly. Torque will increase, which will cause RPM to increase, which will eventually cause the automatic gearbox to shift to 4th gear. That's what you would expect. However, when you open the throttle wide with this gearbox, the increased torque will make the gearbox shift down to 2nd gear .

I thought you were selling . Good to know you're still with us!

Excellent idea! But isn't it too late for this contest?

I think there were quite a few new members with entries. They are not allowed to vote.

Yes. Check out @jb70's Pimp up my Porsche on Rebrickable. His MOD has practically all the fixes from the unofficial errata and more. It also got rid of the pin clutch. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-8003/jb70/42056-pimp-up-my-porsche/#info

Mesmerizing.

Really? With new parts you mean? EDIT: Yes

Chiron gearbox design was poor too.

I'm not sure if the first image is official (got it from promobricks), but it definitely is the same picture as the second picture. EDIT: On second thought: the first image may simply be a modified version of the second as promobricks probably didn't want to show the leaked image.

I have the same perception. I also like the relatively simple paneling, not too much clutter. Even if the black areas would not be filled adequately, I would still like it.

That sound logical! Thanks!

What if you rotate every second new worm gear 180 degrees? Now that we have arrived at the trivia. Obviously you can't make a LEGO worm gear spin with a normal gear. But what if some other power source already spins the axle with the worm gear attached. So the worm gear is already rotating. Now would also applying force with the normal gear that meshes with the worm gear speed up the worm gear, given that the normal gear spins in the right direction?
