What´s up Lego Technic fans, Here I present the SSC Tuatara Striker, my first completed hypercar in 1:8 scale and this is the black version of it. In reality, this hypercar has a pretty impressive suspension system, and the rest of the car is also impressive, such as its design . You can support this project on Lego Ideas: https://beta.ideas.lego.com/product-ideas/aaae230a-24f7-4e63-95b3-06e1634dff75 Functions: I’ve implemented as many functions as possible, including: 1. Steering with HOG (Hand of God steering) and a movable steering wheel 2. Height-adjustable front suspension and height-adjustable rear suspension ->The rear height-adjustable suspension was the biggest challenge in building this hypercar! 3. Drive – Neutral – Reverse 4. Working handbrake 5. Opening glove compartment 6. The trunk and hood can be opened via levers and are held in position by springs 7. Butterfly doors with working door handles are also held in position by springs 8. Working rear spoiler 9. Running V8 engine and 8-speed transmission 10. Detailed interior with rearview mirror and sun visors Here we have some printed parts from Klemmshop. They are really good and finish off the car! I hope you like ans support my version of the SSC Tuatara Striker, criticism is always welcome ! With kind regards MAP Tec

Nice to hear that and thanks for the feedback :D Thanks, and yes, I feel exactly the same way. I know it won’t work out on Lego Ideas, but it’s worth a try :D Thank you very much. SSC Tuatara was also the only car brand that didn’t have a licence yet; otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to submit it to Ideas at all :D Nice to hear that and thank you very much for the feedback :D Yeah, the rear suspension was the biggest challenge on this car, especially the height adjustment. Enjoy the videos, and thanks for the feedback :D

Lego 1:8 Hypercars: Why are tires getting bigger and bigger?
MAP Tec replied to MAP Tec's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Interesting ideas ;D, thank you very much for sharing your initial thoughts. I generally think the designs of all the tires are great, but if you change the size of the tires, you also have to adjust other things, such as the steering wheel, which in my opinion is then much too small... -
Since the Ferrari Daytona 2022, I've been wondering why the tires on the McLaren P1 2024 were made even bigger than on the Porsche 2016, Bugatti 2018, and Lamborghini 2020... Tires from the Lamborghini Sian and Ferrari Daytona: If you compare the larger tires with the steering wheel alone, the scale is even less accurate... I am glad that the new 9L suspensions have been used since the Ferrari Daytona, as these fit better than two 6.5L suspensions and the new axle parts also offer new, more stable possibilities... Here are my guesses as to why tires are getting bigger: 1. Only the larger rim size fits the new axle parts, as otherwise the rim rubs on the inside. 2. Without the new axle parts, Lego was unable to install the new 9L suspensions securely and stably, as this requires the installation of many parts that need width, causing the old rim sizes to rub against them, as seen on the Ferrari Daytona. I think the individual design of each rim is very well done, but I'm not a fan of the new tires myself and would prefer the old tire size from Porsche, Lamborghini, and Bugatti. Let's see how things turn out with the 2026 car. I'm curious to hear your opinions and have a little discussion :D

[MOC] The Ultimate Venator-class Star Destroyer
MAP Tec replied to FlyInSpace's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Very impressive . The attention to detail is remarkable. I can hardly imagine how long it took you to complete this. I also released a Venator this year, even motorized ^^, and I am eager to hear your opinion. Hats off to your work, and keep it up!
