Link to the instructions : https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-106519/Sebulba56/8880-remastered/#details Hey ! Today I present you my entry for the TC20 contest. This is a 2020's version of the 90's 8880 supercar. Here are some pictures to begin with : About the design, I tried to keep the original proportions, angles and shapes as much as possible. I think I managed to keep the main look of the car. I of course reproduced the classic details of the car like the yellow lines, the white interior, the rear spoiler. My idea with this model was to use in the best way all the new elements that the studless era has brought. Those new elements of course include the panels, that I used to create a plainer bodywork. It also allowed to include new elements that missed to the original model, the best example is the opening doors. On the side of the functions, I created a whole new chassis and managed to keep all the original functions. I struggled to make the 4x4x4 configurations. But I made some changes in the original organization of the chassis. I move the HOG to the front. This allowed me to move the fake engine just before the rear axle, which make a rear central configuration, more realistic. The gearbox still has 4 speed but is no longer manual, it is now sequential with flapping paddles under the steering wheel. The sequential system has a limiter that stop the paddles if you want to move between 4th an 1st or between 1st and 4th. On the top of that, the pop up headlights use a worm to keep position, followed by a few connecting rods. The fold in perfectly. All the functions work well, the 4 speeds don't crack, the wheels don't touch the mudguards and everything folds in and out perfectly. On the following pictures you can see the rear axle and the fake engine : Here is the front axle with the headlight folded in and out : Here are the two sides of the interior where you can see the paddles and the limiter : Here you can see a part the underside of the car, precisely under the fake engine. There is the central differential, a part of the gear box, and the rear of the steering system : To finish here are some more pictures of the exterior : To conclude I really enjoyed making this MOC and I hope it will please you !

I love how the tender is done. However, all the details on the track are a bit to much to me.

I love how all the pieces comes together, you are truly good at handling the joints, Especially on the zone of the pop up headlights.

I think your pop up headlights are in the wrong way.

The idea of a helicopter is both original and clever. The inventory and the colors of the original set match well with this idea. Otherwise the functions seem well executed, I like the landing gear's geometry.

A brilliant design here. I love how you recreated the very rounded shapes of the car.

A fantastic concept which now deserves a nice bodywork. How about something that looks like a tuned BMW or a Supra ?

I am not a fan of the design, it is a bit messy to me. But the quantity of functions makes me love your model. It is almost as functional as the new 42128.

It's a pretty cool alternative model, very original, I have never seen a vehicle like this before. It is better finished than the A model to me. Congrats !

I think, looking at the price, the set would have gained to have a working fake engine. It would have been simple since the two motors powering the transmission are in the middle of the chassis. Moreover, since it's a trial truck, a brighter color could have been cool for the cab, like white, it goes well with the green.

Hey there ! My real name is Noé but here you will call me Sebulba56. I am from France and I am currently 20. I also am an old member of the french forum Techlug where I have the same ID. I collect lego since my childhood, the first set I remember I had is the 7103 Jedi Duel from 2002 with Count Dooku and Yoda. I then became a huge collector of star wars set during the Clone Wars era principally. After I begun to buy technic sets and making mocs with the pieces. In a few years my inventory became bigger and bigger and I now have enough pieces to make greats mocs. But it's been a long time since I didn't but a technic set. Now I focus on 18+ and expert sets. I have been a reader of Eurobrick for a long time but I never signed up. I decided to do it for the TC20 technic contest. I am preparing something for it. I also recently made a 1:10 Ferrari F40 that is 95% complete, I will present it on the forum on the following months. To introduce myself I could show you a moc I made 3 years ago and presented on Techlug.
