But please, I beg you, without neon or intercoolers. It's still Charger, not a JDM car...

47: 1038: 650: 452: 353: 258: 1

Thanks. Now, with the chain drive and gearbox the model is 99%-done (some few parts could be missed but I can't deal with them without the official release and building instructions). https://bricksafe.com/files/Void_s/42107/42107.io

With gears or pneumatic? Personally, I would love to see some how a "Model Team"-like returning. One of the last Creator Expert sets (whatever they will be called next), Mustang, was on the tiny edge of this from the side of System/Creator: still amazing detailed brick-built model but with some Technic features, like working steering wheel and zero-like scrub radius and suspension-ready front and rear axles (not all Technic sets even have it!). Another thing is Mack Anthem set - still Technic set but amazingly detailed using System plates and tiles. I really looking forward to see more sets in this direction - with Technic features but with well-detailed interior and other expected things (including rear-view mirrors )

I took the existing gears and driveshafts (the ones I was able to catch at the phots and building video - the quality of poor enough, plus some steep were done out of the camera sight) and added some gears were "invisible". I can't promise that it's 100%-accurate but should be very close the real set, as some placements give no "second options" to put something else. So, the gearbox White - the "final" gearing that goes to the chain and then to the rear wheel Orange - gearbox pedal with changeover catch (I excluded the ratchet, it's quite simple) Red - the gears for the 1st gear Blue - the 2nd gear Green - the common shaft that is always connected to both "gears" Yellow - the second shaft that is connected to crankshaft of the engine with 1/2 bush via rubber band (not shown here) And, how it works! 1st gear (in red): Engine > 1:1 rubber band > 12:20 > 16:16 > 16:16 > 16:16 > 16:16 > to chain (see below). Effective ratio is 12:20 + chain gears ratio of 16:24. 2nd gear (in blue): Engine > 1:1 rubber band > 12:20 > 20:12 > 16:16 > 16:16 > 16:16 > to chain (see below). Effective ratio is 1:1 + chain gears ratio of 16:24.

Yes, it's likely-vertical mounted single shock absorber with yellow sprung. Possibly, the real-life model also have no space for other suspension geometry due to oversized engine:

Yeah, it takes all the place inside. I would say this model has the biggest engine among TLG bikes.

And the Stud.io file https://bricksafe.com/files/Void_s/42107/42107.io

Something is coming...

Reminds me Hellcamino (that was never built physically): https://www.autoclassics.com/news/418283/classic-dodge-charger-ute-hellcamino/

The rules were based on the 42098 set which inner space equals to 15 studs between the decks stands, so the models must be 15 studs wide to fit into it. The mirrors are supposed to be foldable usually, so the rules don't regulate the mirrors. The best "check" is to build the frame with required dimensions, take out the mirrors (if they are) and see if the model can roll through it. Nice and simple way that answers "yes" or "not" very correctly. I afraid that it might mean that the model should be 13-studs wide then...

@shugo, great! I only wonder why some models have wrong wheels an rims (and some other pars - don't want to make a spoiler for them ) - due to lack of existing part models in this software, right? Anyways it makes it more interesting to guess which model had 6 Tumbler wheels For the "harder" level, can I propose some models made of similar parts in the same color, plus without stickers (add them only when the model assembled)? For "insane", plus to that, some well-recognized parts, like specific wheels, helicopter blades, etc. could be hidden.

Damn! I still believed that it's a new a part, like a some skewed and curved panel. Pure genius!

@rm8, well, the people... The model looks great, I saw a number of 911s cars with very similar front end (can't imagine how to make it different) but your "tail-end slope" looks very interesting, never thought that a pair for fairing panels can do such prefect shaping! I'm still amazed that even with the very strict limitations in size and wheels scale the models looks very different even made of about the same parts (11L-frame, small fenders + no suspension = unlimited numbers of variation).

The author has already told about that: "I have sketches of 911 long before contest, but proportions was wrong in all dimensions....". I agree that it could not so fair (the Contest Committee decides, first of all) but highlighted of that could be done in a much more polite way. "Spanish shame" is the best word here...

To be correct, I would extend it a bit: 18944 Panel Curved 3 x 13 - Dark [Earth] Green 64782 Panel Plate 5 x 11 x 1 - Dark [Earth] Green 24119 Panel Curved 7 x 3 with 2 Pin Holes through Panel Surface - Dark [Earth] Green From https://brickset.com/sets/80013-1

Try that one: https://rebrickable.com/sets/compare/slow/. It works smooth eneought.

Can't say anything more! @MegaRoi, you didn't give up and find a way to build this amazing car meeting the all requirements. I saw some outstanding competitors but this one is a real beast!

I would forgive the new fenders but the tile-made stepped-edged "front lid" (whatever we call it - trunk or hood)... Is that a "Chinborghini" or the official well-good-TLG set? It's a full "spanish shame" for me. Now I have serious doubts on who really made the model first and who copycatted it...

Working on some proportions, so far it is still too rounded but should be better, I believe...

Well, I wouldn't compare it with a crane, as they are quite different models (despite this crane is definitely not 10/10 for me anyways) but I really looking forward to compare it with upcoming Cement Mixer truck that should have also 8x4x4 configuration with twin-steering front axles and the same 49.5 wheels.

Great model (as usual, I suppose you may get hard times once keeping raising the bar every time ) and the perfect use of the super-long Linear actuator. Sometimes I just wanted the previously-long (the "middle one") actuator to be 1-stud longer, just a bit, to match the desired purpose. And now I see its perfectness alive, well done! Did you mean something like that "ʞɔnɹʇ ɟɟo-lloɹ"? I would add two more 4-axle trailers with the same dump container Honestly, I like the model in both directions

I mean not lowering to body (what a trend to "drop" the cars everywhere ) but just put both mount points upper at 1 stud, so you will have a higher ground clearance under the bottom part of absorbers. with the default position in tends to zero when 49.5 wheel are used. I'm going to finish the "49.5 wheels" mod and will show what it was about.

@kbalage, I'm waiting for the 2nd modification with locked steering as well (can't stop myself putting the joke here) Personally, I see two things are more realistic here: To try soft shock absorbers. Normally the cars "sits" at 1/3 of the suspension travel, so the springs should be better compressed by the car's weight Put the rear shock absorbers mount points higher - their current position is to low for 49.5 wheels use.

Well, yeah, I tried to get rid of "fresh-mint" look that was too unrealistic but seems to have overdone it. Got it, thanks. As for these gaps, I'm working on a bit different things, hopefully they fill look better
