    Careful now! Do you want me to point out all the illegal connections in your Ferrari 488 Pista model? Because I happen to know each and every one of them!

    When I saw that image from this article, I wondered if this is a perfect fit or almost perfect. So after a little bit of math I concluded that those holes in the gear rack (24121) are exactly 3 Sqrt(10) - Sqrt(30) modules apart, or approximately 4.0096 modules. So the 5M beam is 0.077mm too short. I guess that's within tolerance?

    Anyone still dares to maintain that spoiler isn't made with new panel extenders?
  4. astyanax
    I'm still looking at that rear spoiler... Still looks like new parts to me.

    That sticker is for the B-model. In the A-model, I'd put that part at p42 step 7, then it won't been noticed.

    Fortunately I did not see that pic before going to bed....

    Or maybe to make it easier to attach the dashboard assembly. (See 2nd pic in 1st post.)

    Anyone knows what this construction is even for? Is it to limit the range of motion of the springs?

    @Jeroen Ottens The 5M beams right behind the front wheels and right in front of the rear wheels seem not to be fixed in place. This could easily be solved by putting a into the 4th hole.

    In front of the front wheel, I see you struggled with the lack of in DBG. If there's nothing connecting underneath it, you could try instead using (stick the bar into the axle hole above -- it won't rotate) and . That'll give the exact same geometry.

    Very cool creation @nico71! It seems so 'obvious' in hindsight... which just means the design is so coherent. Thanks also for the elaborate write-up! Great read

    Indeed! About 2 years ago I was looking to expand my collection of red connectors, beams, and panels. I found 8653 and 8070 locally second-hand. Parted out, they have been corner stones of my red supercar builds, like the Ferrari 488 Pista (now recycled again).

    Yeah but it would be nice if those toggle joints were the same color... But red ones go for like $5 a piece on BrickLink...

    Right, but still with different levels of success. To me, only the Chiron really felt solid as a tank. Could even be lifted comfortably by its roof. In the Sian unveiling video, they showed it being lifted by its roof, but in reality I found this to detach the bottom of the windshield. This is also what impressed me most In BuWizz's video of the GTA Spano: they were holding the 4.3kg monster by the roof all the time!

    A tear from me, a sigh of relief from my wallet...

    Not really, the technic connectors #2 to #6 go in steps of 22.5 degrees...
  18. astyanax
    Has anyone ever had a use for those clicky mech joints in technic builds? I was thinking even of static stuff such as holding angled bodywork; but then again they might still be knocked ajar... Hmmm
  19. astyanax
    @SNIPE Kewl! I hope the part comes in stock soon then that'd be nice to see
  20. astyanax
    Is this supposed to be the successor of 42115 Lamborghini Sian, i.e. next 'UCS' supercar?
  21. astyanax
    Just wondering if you had some use in mind for a technic build?
  22. astyanax
    Nice! But for the exhaust I think you should really use part 3299 (or similar) on the sides, to get that hexagonal look. Exactly what they were meant for -- more modding I laughed seeing the sun-visors... why not?! Never seen anyone include those before
  23. astyanax
    Great stuff! Love the interior too -- something I never seem to get around to myself.
  24. astyanax
    Y'all might be interested in part 24144: It has an axle hole on one end, and a bar on the other end. The angle is the same as the #5 connector. It might be useful for putting bodywork at funky angles where space is tight. There's one twist though: the axle hole is rotated 45 degrees!

    I love it!
