I will try that, thanks!

This is a REALLY great alternate model. It looks like it could be an official B-model!

Hi guys, After feedback from my last MOC, I decided to start a new one. I am focusing on the bodywork first. I used a "dummy" chassis to build the front of the vehicle until I finished the front of the chassis. I then transferred the bodywork over. The chassis has independent suspension and a flat 6 engine. The engine drive is transferred below the steering shaft via the use of clutch double bevel gears. I also used one of the new gray double bevel gears which happened to fit perfectly on he engine crankshaft. Photos: I am at a point where I am not sure how to continue the bodywork. I have never been able to get doors right and looking around the internet has not really helped. Does anybody have advice on how to do the sides of the vehicle? -TechnicRCRacer

@Ngoc NguyenI stand corrected. I’m surprised I didn’t remember, I own both pullbacks.

Huh, I don’t recall pullbacks being 2in1 by themselves before, exciting!

Looks like it! A good recolor in "Geoffrey the Giraffe Orange". I will never forget that promotional set.

@Rudivdk I think your trick may have worked. For my next MOC I have started with the bodywork first. Have a look: Everything looks crooked because the hood/bonnet is not connected to the front. It is propped up by two light bley pins.

I believe it comes in black as well on the roof of the Mclaren.

In the 2021 X-Wing set there is a new 1x1 Technic brick with axle hole instead of a pin hole. It appears in Light Bluish Gray.

This is a pretty sad set, was hoping for a different Ferrari. The panels just don’t work in my opinion. The new colors are great and I will just get those off Bricks and Pieces.

Headlights look like printed 18973

@RudivdkThank you for your long and helpful answer! I think MLCad is still kicking around in my hard drive, I will definitely experiment with it more. Time to try something new!

Wait, you can chain them? Okay, this is something I have to try.

@Doug72 My guess is that it was mainly for decoration as this was an early Bionicle/Throwbots part.

@Jurss and @Rudivdk Here are some photos of the chassis: I will try them out, they may be too big. Time to pull out the 42070 again! Haha, my mistake! I misplaced my 6-pin wheels earlier and forgot to replace this one. I just replaced it! Thank you! I do not feel like I have improved on bodywork at all. The parts seem to go together in my head better than they go together in real life. I will probably try to redo the bodywork on this car side it is easily removable (not an intended feature).

Thank you! I love these new tires and they were the inspiration for this build. I will definitely consider this, I am unhappy with the hood myself. I'm having trouble making it more flat because the wheels rub on the underside of the hood. Thanks!

Hi! After several attempts, I feel like i finally have something presentable: Not exactly sure what to call it as it isn't really a real car, but I like to think of it as a rally truck. It has independent steered suspension in the front and a live axle in the back. It also has a dummy flat 4 engine in the front which is connected to the rear wheels via silicone LEGO band (because the chassis is too dense for any other method). More photos: I posted this here for feedback before I make instructions. Please let me know any and every problem you can see so that I can try my best at resolving it! -TechnicRCRacer

This is a brilliant idea.

DARK TURQUOISE! This is so great just for the color alone.

A definite buy! Glad to see the return of the Arocs bucket and also the black bushing! I’m happy the black bushing is in a cheaper set now.

For the Bugatti’s case, it would work better if the new part’s clip was oriented the other direction. I wonder if LEGO would ever consider changing the clip orientation for non-minifigure models.

@astyanaxNow I see you are right, thank you! I am glad that there isn't a permanent pin, that would be sad.

Huh? If this does indeed come with a black axle pin, what is the other strange pin?

I thought the panel had a built-in pin instead of the axle hole you speak of. I sincerely hope you are right though.

I think this is quite an excellent set for the price, even without a differential (good for modding). I’m surprised to see that the 1x3 axle/pin connector with two axles and one pinhole is in blue! I don’t think that piece has ever been recolored.
