Rebrickable and LDD. http://rebrickable.com/mocs/offroadcreations/extreme-chopped-hot-rod-v2 http://bricksafe.com/files/Offroadcreations/extreme-chopped-hot-rod-v2/v2 E.C.H.R..lxf -
That is looking really, really good. I love the back and the spoiler. IMO you shouldn't change the back window, it's perfect. I think you should make the back something like the Pagani Huayra, with a quad exhaust.

No problem. Glad it helped! About the signature, click on your name (not your photo) in the upper right corner. Click "Account Settings" underneath settings. Then click signature in the menu.

Hmmm... Most trophy trucks I've seen/built follow this strategy: a 5x10 panel, one 5x7, 5x3, or 5x1 on the back, a 5x1 or 5x3 panel in the front, a beam as the rear fender, and then a 5x1, 5x3, or Bionicle eye in the very back. There can optionally be a 11x3 under the 5x11 panel. Hopefully this makes sense! But don't forget to do whatever you want to make it your own. This is what I do, but you can do anything.

I have updated the first post with the V2 Hot Rod. I hope to have the LDD and Rebrickable ready soon. Also, the gears for the engine aren't reinforced, so that will be changed in the LDD.

It's beautiful... and HUGE! I really like those tracks.

Oops...

Over on the Brickset forums, CM4Sci said This means that the Extreme Adventure may be purple and yellow. If so, Lego is really using some bright colors in 2H.

Thank you everyone for the compliments! I have decided to change the topic to a [WIP] and redo this model. It may be hard to see, but I felt like the front was way too wide, so I thinned the width by 2 studs. I am also going to change part of the chassis and body to make this MOC more original, If anyone has any other ideas to add to the redesign, please tell me, because they would be greatly appreciated.

The gear rack is too far forward. It turns the hubs, giving it toe-in, which is when the wheels are like this: \----/ It can be simply fixed by removing the red 1/2 beam behind the gear rack.

Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed Jim knew everything about 42070.
-
The colors of the truck remind me of this:
-
Speaking of the box, is it just me or does it seem to have a lot of depth? That would hint at lots of pieces.
-
Why? That would make it less stable and more likely to break. Unless you want it to swivel, which would be okay.
-
There is also a chain on the push guard.
-
Is is really that bad?
-
I really like how you used the parts from the Race Kart. What are the wheels and tires you used in the back?

My Opinion: 42068- Someone said earlier that the 42051 Airport Rescue Vehicle, which was canceled, my be released in 2H 2017. So I think this set could possibly be 42051, an updated 42051, or a whole new set. 42067- I think that the name is supposed to be something like Extreme Adventure Vehicle. If this was correct, I would think that it would be something like a modified Land Rover, such as this: 42070- Sounds awesome, hopefully It will be like the 8285 Tow Truck from 2006. I hope that it will be remote controlled, based on previous years. r/c 2012 & 2014, only PF 2013 & 2015. We'll just have to wait and see! EDIT: Just saw @JGW3000's post, and I hadn't even thought of 42067.

The bodywork is really cool, and the chassis looks very solid. And great job using the custom parts to make it go fast!
-
@JJ2 I did build it IRL, but I thought renderings would look better. @2LegoOrNot2Lego... I wanted it to look like an offroader, but that is a good idea, so thank you. @I_Igor Thanks for the suggestion! Here are all your ideas combined:
-
This is very unique, and I like it a lot! The curved roof is amazing. Also, is this a C-model using only parts from 42039, or does it use parts from other sets?

Here is the updated V2: LDD http://bricksafe.com/files/Offroadcreations/extreme-chopped-hot-rod-v2/v2 E.C.H.R..lxf Rebrickable http://rebrickable.com/mocs/offroadcreations/extreme-chopped-hot-rod-v2 Here is the 1st version:
-
I have broken 2 l motors, 2 servos, and a v1 and v2 receiver, all because of damaged wires.
-
I haven't heard of mass-produced sets not being released in certain countries in the past couple years...
-
The first and second half of the year that the sets get released. We usually get some on January 1st and a few more on August 1st. This year, for the US, 4 1H sets were released on November 16th, and for UK/EU all the 1H sets were released December 1st. 6 of the 1H sets still haven't been released in the US.
