Looks like a Lotus Exige by Suhwan Ji (JWT) who also did the Apollo IE will be added as a CADA set:

4L pins and 10L axles with stop. Also it has pins with towball sockets (I thought those were mentioned in this topic but don't see it now), a modified version of 71708 which has 4 axle holes on the long side like the part I mentioned above and panels which look like smaller versions of 67142. Finally its 5x7 and 5x11 frames are made of 2 separable parts.

Thanks but this creates the offset into a different direction? I replaced it by two technic cams after changing other parts to make space for that.

I've been working on building CADA set C63004 with current TLG parts only. This set uses many of the parts listed on the first page of this topic. Replacing them with current TLG parts has been ok so far but there was one very special part which is not listed on the first page but seems very interesting and was harder to replace. It's like a mix of a 3L beam and a technic cam, adding a compact way to create a half stud offset. Luckily I've only encountered 1 step using these so far

Very cool! Congratulations to both you and CaDa.

OK thanks!

It doesn't mean anything, it happens sometimes with custom parts imported into Stud.io which internally contain subparts.

Thanks. I guess you're saying this mean a Buwizz motor would work on the Cada battery? At the same speed?

Does anybody know how to get a new Cada white top battery box with a controller? There's https://decadastore.com/products/cada-500mah-battery-box-new-version-jv1010-white but that's without a controller and there's no option to get a separate controller. There's https://decadastore.com/products/cada-2-4g-radio-control-set-jv1010-jv8011 combo but that looks like the old version of the battery box even though it's also called a JV1010. The latter also makes me wonder if the new battery box requires a new JV8011 controller or not. If not then I could get the battery box from Cada and the controller from someone else. I looked at sets containing the new battery box at that seems to be only the 1:8 Apollo which is too expensive for my aim. Also looked at other shops but they all seem to be selling the old version only. I sent the question to Cada as well but haven't gotten a reply yet. I also wonder if anyone knows whether the new Cada battery box works with non Cada motors, especially non Cada buggy motors. I suppose it should be then again it says it's 7.4v instead of at least 9v which seems odd.

Really nice! It's a shame the BW3 doesn't work for this. Perhaps a CaDa white top battery box will?

Upload it to something like bricksafe and then post a link here. It will automatically embed the image.

Nice work. It looks like you used the outer axles of the buggy motors, is that intentional? It will be quite a bit faster if you use the inner ones.

Perhaps I should restore the HOG gear on top of the roof and then it would be a true Lego version of a sleeper car

I have built a version with Buwizz 3.0 + 2 large PU motors as well. It's not as fast but still quite nice. Also did a version with a small PU hub + 2 large PU motors which would be the cheapest but is pretty slow. It's good fun to try hiding electronics in such a small model and very satisfiying when you find an elegant solution which can be built without issues!

The instructions are now available for free on Rebrickable at https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-133111/mla2/42151-bugatti-monster-bolide-extreme-rc/ Here's a little demo video I made: I also made instructions for a version with an upside down battery box as suggested by @Void_S requiring just a few different parts. These instructions are available at https://bricksafe.com/files/mla2/other/bugatti-monster-bolide/Bugatti Monster Bolide_udb.pdf Comparison animation: Final photo of the regular version:

The Ford's front end is also misaligned:

Ok, cool, thanks for letting me know!

@Zerobricks I got it to work without a diff in a different way: I raised the motor by half a stud so I could use a 87408 to reinforce things. Now it's really fast, but still no skipping gears Thanks for the inspiration! An additional nice feature of this setup is that it works with a Lego buggy motor as well: its unusable pin holes due to the curved casing are avoided.

I beleive I have to lower the buggy motor by 1 stud in that case (right? using 2 * 32198) which means it will stick out 1 stud on the bottom making very close (as in a few mm) to the ground. I'm afraid that this would give too much risk to the front side of the buggy motor. There's 2 thin beams at 1 stud below the bottom as well but those are 1) directly between the rear wheels and 2) not as precious

@Zerobricks Thanks! I'm using a 12 tooth gear indeed. I tried using a 20 with the old diff on my older MOC I mentioned and couldn't get rid of skipping gears. I now tried it on this one too and have the same problem, it seems the forces are too much unfortunately. It's only ok if you accelerate more gently. Bit of a shame since it does indeed become very fast. What I don't know if it's due to my design or just fundamentally not doable.

I'm happy to report the build with the set's parts worked well. It drives great and the motorization is barely visible. Hope to be able to start creating the instructions soon. This is a fun set BTW, there's a lot more attention to detail than I'm used to in official sets! The difference between a set like 42125 and this is like night and day.

@Void_S Thanks for your comments! I made it so you can still reach the BuWizz switch to turn it on/off when it's fully assembled. You can even put an USB cable in for charging or keep it there all the time. The Buwizz is now actually lowered half a stud to hide it as much as possibile. I'm not sure what you mean with decorating the buggy motor though it sounds very interesting. Do you have some example for what you're thinking about, perhaps in some other MOC? I did add some panels to hide the motor when you look into the cabin (especially when the LBG version by Buwizz is used). You can't see this very well on the images above, see below for a new one which also shows the space for turning on or charing the Buwizz. I tried various other things as well like using fence instead or thinner panels but I couldn't get those to work because the Buwizz has an odd numbers of studs. Just in case I also added my current .io to Bricksafe: https://bricksafe.com/files/mla2/other/bugatti-monster-bolide/Bugatti Monster Bolide.io
