    Yeah I know this mod. I actually have it built and modified (shifter mechanism, steering). To answer your question, I don't think I could put a bigger gearbox without compromising the interior of the model. But I may be wrong with all the new parts! The car is now disassembled but I took tons of photos, in case I build it in Stud.io!

    I would not be so sure about this. I bought the Assassin (McLaren P1 at 1:10 scale) a year ago. This model has a complex 7+N+R gearbox. It works like a charm, even in first gear. I saw a huge improvement in quality since the 488 pista.

    Hello everyone, let me introduce my last MOC : the Porsche 992 GT3 RS. It all stated with the 42156 alternate model model, the same car, by Alex Ilea. Given the part availability, this alternate model is amazing. But there were some areas I wasn't happy with. It led to the current project with the following criteria : - Looking as close as possible to the real 911. - Steering with working steering wheel and HOG. - Working 4 speeds sequential gearbox with paddle shifter, not compromising the interior. - Keeping the DRS activation from the cockpit. It took some time to obtain a compact gearbox and working DRS but I finally manage to find a very simple arrangement : the DRS axle crosses the gearbox by going through an empty differential. The stepper and paddle shift mechanisms are inspired from the Hoonipigasus from Anto. Everything works like a charm. In the near future I will probably continue modifying the model by optimising some assemblies. Here are some photos : Feel free to comment / propose improvements !

    You captured the lines very well! I love it. The wheel indeed fit better than the smaller ones. May I ask you if you have any pics of the paddle shifters?

    @Jeroen Ottens Even though I am not a fan of the original car (design wise), your model is very well done. Too bad they are already shipped. I would have liked to see how you managed to put a 8 speed sequential gearbox at this scale!

    This is not the car brand I like the most but you have already done an awesome job on it. I think I will never present my Porsche 911 when I finish it (one day hopefully) because there are so many awesome MOCs in here! For the curvature on the roof, have you considered using Bionicle teeth?

    So here are my attempts: SCANIA R Nextgen V8: A simple 4x2 tractor unit with a working V8 engine, adjustable rear height, and steering giving a rather small turning radius. A free 3D model (Stud.Io) is available on Rebrickable Mack Granite 6x4 dump truck: It has all the functions of the 42078 Mack Anthem tractor unit plus the dump bed lifted by a linear actuator: 6 inline fake engine, steering with a functioning steering wheel. Having these functions while keeping everything in scale was tricky but here is the result. Free PDF instructions on Rebrickable Mack Anthem day cab: I wasn't very satisfied with the proportions of the 42078 Mack Anthem set, especially regarding the curves and length of the hood and cabin. This turned out to be a day cab. it still has the functions of the original set. I am quite satisfied with this one. Again, free PDF instructions are available on Rebrickable

    This is an amazing tow truck Effe. it is very accurate while staying functional. I'd say go for the Firefighter version. It breaks the all red face of the truck

    This wasn't won at the beginning because of the poor perspectives given by the set 42083, especially the two tones color. But you succeeded. The R8 lines are here, there is a détailled interior, working sequential gearbox and foldable roof. Honestly, I would have build it if didn't sell my Chiron.

    Please explain how you managed to have working paddles ? I think I am not the only one interested. Regarding the manual version of the 488, do you have the link for the PDF of book 1?
  12. grego18f
    I have built my copy. Wow, what a car... There are crazy connections everywhere. But the Cada quality has an impact as the servo for the steering died in less than 5 minutes... Did anyone experienced this? If so, is there a way to fix it?
  13. grego18f
    It is a very well designed MOC. As it was mentioned earlier, the studful parts blend nicely with the studless parts. I like a lot how you managed to stick the 6 speed gearbox so close to the rear axle. And the free instructions are more than welcome, especially in this period when you have to pay for most of them. Your gearbox will certainly end up in my Porsche Carrera S

    Thank you, your tip was very helpful!

    Little update: the 3D model is done The only concern I am facing is that I didn't find a way to connect the cab to the chassis (everything is OK in reality). I also didn't succeed in connecting the 2 U-joints inside the chassis... Can someone who knows Stud.Io help me? Thanks
  16. grego18f
    Looks really nice Effe, I'd like to have one of these on my shelf! Can't wait to see the result with real bricks
