Yes, that's what I meant. If you decide to build the MOC with idependent suspension, the missing parts would have to be sourced from other sets or bought separately. Edited my post for clarity.

One of the first things that ocurred to me when I saw this set was "This would make a great part pack for a Borderlands 2 Bandit Technical MOC". Of course, the Borderlands truck has independent suspension on both axles, so the wishbones, steering and all that would have to come from somwhere else. But otherwise 42139 already looks somewhat similar.

In his video review, @desert752 dedicated a whole section to the gear box. The video is in Russian, but there are quite a bit of angles with most of the gears exposed, so it may still be useful:

Select the part of the post that you would like to hide and use the Spoiler tool (eye icon in the toolbar).

I am pretty sure this is what you are looking for: The part number is 2484c01

My guess would be that the wheels, specifically the friction of the tires is what's resisting the body narrowing part of the transformation. If that is the case, some kind of deployable stand or outriggers could probably help, but it doesn't look like it would be easy to do at this point.

Since I posted a comment in this topic anyway, I should say that I really like this project. I think what really impressed me was that the idea sounds crazy on paper, but you started the topic with some actual WIP photos that had all of the functions at least partially implemented. I am really looking forward to seeing the end result!

If you look closely, there is a small ridge that goes across the middle of the 2-stud wide section of the 3L pin with friction: Very likely, having that connector or any 1-stud wide part with a pin hole on that ridge would stress both the pin and the part. Even on the frictionless 3l pin there is a similar, though less pronounced ridge: By contrast, the new 3L frictionless pin with stop appears to have no ridges at all:

How about this: The color choices for the ski piece are a little limiting, though.

I have been thinking about the rear lights as well, so here's my go at it: It looks like it would be too small, and the candle flame piece is only available in trans orange and trans light blue, and is also quite wavy. Still, maybe you will find a use for this

As one of the commenters mentioned in the 10290 Pickup Truck topic, using the new narrower wheels to get double wheels on the rear axles could be a nice mod. It may be tricky, though. I'll just copy my take on that from that topic:

My thoughts exactly, but some modding may be necessary – the wide wheel is only 1.5, not 2 times wider than the narrow one. From what I can tell, simply replacing the wide wheel with 2 narrow ones will leave them sticking out about 3/4 of a stud. It looks like you can make the middle axle 1 stud narrower on each side, but the assembly behind the rearmost wheel seems to be the main thing to work around:

I think the tires are new, seem like narrower versions of 15413. Basically, what 30699 is to 44309

You very right, it is 2433:

A very cute dog, and a great MOC! Just a suggestion, perhaps you could use a to fill in the gap between the eyes? It must be a newer thin DOTS bracelet: https://brickset.com/sets/41918-1/Adventure-Bracelets

This is a great MOC, and I would definitely not call it a "failed" submission – it just did not happen to win I really like the height adjustment feature and how neatly it is integrated – normally, something like that would mean compromising the looks, but here it is obvously not the case. As a matter of fact, this was on my personal short list during the first stage of the vote. Thank you for sharing the updated version!

I started the year by building a new Modular, and as usual, this got me to come back to LEGO in general. Long story short, I finally finished a redux of another older MOC of mine – a school bus. The design should be more streamlined now, though the look ended up somewhat rectangular. In any case, it is now more reasonably sized, and at the same time I managed to cram a brick-built V engine and a removable engine cover. It has seats for 12 passengers plus the driver, the roof is also removable. Bright Light Orange/Flame Yellowish Orange is perfect for a school bus, but is not too common, so I tried to make sure the pieces I used are available in this color. The .io file is available at my Bricksafe here, the model is also available at Mecabricks here. You can get PDF instructions at my Bricksafe here. Please note that a few of the new pieces have not yet made it into Stud.io (66956 and 71752) at the time I post it, so lime green placeholders are used in the instructions.

Hi, 'kylenpillay'. Welcome to Eurobricks! Have you considered the Creator Expert sets? The sets are normally quite considerable in size and feature some advanced building techniques, which makes them quite satisfying to build. Depending on your interests, you could go for vehicles or buildings. Alternatively, you could just go by size. For instance, you can check Brickset for a list of sets with most pieces. Anyway, hope you find this helpful!

This must be what you are looking for: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/notifications/options/

Brickset already has a picture of the set, though a rather pixelated one at the moment. Overall, it looks pretty similar to the original MOC, but the rocker panels are gone – probably, to simplify the build and make the price more reasonable. Also gone are the decorations – zip line handles, binoculars and swirls. But it's turquoise (including the wheelarches) and the signature surfboards are there, in other words – it still looks great and very 50s, so a perfect match for a Modular layout.

Is this a new part or have I missed it in a released set? Looks like a half of an inverted 1x6 arch: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=92950
