  1. True, maybe they had to pay extra for a licensing deal with Ford for the GT40 name?
  2. This is a slight downgrade from the earlier Jeep Wrangler set to me. I like the little details like plaid seats, a rubber duck, and surf board, but the suspension looks awkward and out of proportion and they should have used Bronco tires instead. It would have been nice if they made more use of those tiny new suspension links introduced in the Bronco set though I'm puzzled why they don't make a 1:12 or 1:10 Jeep or Bronco set at this point. This is coming from someone firmly based in the USA, but both vehicles are much more popular here than the G500, and I feel like the Jeep could be even more successful than that Ford Raptor model from long ago.
  3. Set looks great and price is high but in line with recent inflation in US and EU. I agree with others that there was a missed opportunity in the wheels and tires. Functionality doesn't matter much to me here. At this scale this is purely a display piece or a child's push-vroom-vroom car
  4. Reminds me of the phenomenon of shrinkflation. I think the price of this and the original 1:10 racing Porsche 911 are about the same. If they wanted to do a 1:10, it would probably go for $200-$250 here in the US :(
  5. That's a fascinating mechanism for triggering the diff locker. I would have assumed that was a feature of the actual Blazer's suspension if you hadn't described it as the diff locker
  6. hmmm, yet another Fast and Furious MOC that completely out-classes the models that LEGO has put together. This looks terrific.
  7. Model looks really nice, I like really like the details and GT3 looks great in stone grey. Kinda funny to think that it's been almost 10 years since LEGO's original GT3 set and the 911 platform is still one of the most popular cars to make MOCs from.
  8. Superb moc, great color choice and style
  9. Model looks great as-is, but I think the front end would benefit from custom fenders and not the "pre-made" ones. Suspension is excellently done at that scale, but I would be personally worried about it falling apart
  10. I see now, my mistake, but I agree those wheels/tires make more sense for a LM-type racer
  11. I really like this design and the suspension! Especially that its AWD
  12. This is a superb model, it's nice seeing more 1:10 MOCs being made here
  13. I like the concept and was thinking of doing this myself for a Bronco or Landcruiser eventually. I have a few suggestions: Given that it's such a large scale, you might want to try using a bunch of angled connectors or some flex cables to make the wheel arches. Raptor arches are massive and can fit the whole wheel. It would be cool to see a front suspension setup where the springs/ coilovers connect to the lower control arm as opposed to the uppers. Most people don't do this in their models for good reasons, but it's always nice to see some realism when it comes to mechanisms in models. Overall, it looks like a really nice model so far. Do you have any pictures of the rear axle?
  14. I like the look of this moc, is it the same chassis as the original Chiron or a new one?
