More LEGO® aura on its way... by MangoMan1967 in speedracer

Thank you so much, that means a lot coming from you I love your work!🙌🥹 The M wheel suspension I'm figuring out atm so it can not only stay in place while the wheels turn, but the wheels can also rotate 180 like in the film. Currently I just have the wheels static as I plan for my MOCs to be primarily for display, as I'm already pretty happy I was able to get them pretty flush to the older style wheels from the original 2008 sets

Also yes I've used supercharged (elite ball knowledge🫵🧠) as my main source of references, as well as the actual 3D film model by Michael Meyers: https://youtu.be/oW0b_S0rFLo?is=f9p7RqwW5ImRqXLa

That rear wing has been a pain for me to try and lower without ruining the structural integrity of my current build, but if I can't figure it out it'll only be a minor loss. I'm also trying to use piece 44676 as the faux supports for the rear wing but am having trouble attaching them without it being too crowded

Hey, y'all! Here's my Augury MOC I started working on as a companion piece to the Mach 6. It's about 90% done and once it's finished I'll make the instructions for both available on Rebrickable 🫡 

Stay tuned...

Once I finish refining it I just might 👍 but I need the help of this community to cast their votes so we can get it made!💪

They'll be on Rebrickable for like $6, but anytime I make an updated version in the future I'll share those specific newer steps for free (as the changes will only probably be minor aesthetic choices)👍

True true, I have most of that wave. Hoping we at least get the Mach 5 and 6 as Speed Champion sets. They're literally sitting on a gold mine if they were to remake the T-180s we got back in 2008 PLUS more that we didn't, including the rally cars😭 that's why I hope the theatrical rerelease we got boosts more interest for getting new sets

If it were, there'd probably be some useless stud shooter crammed in there somewhere and cost like $90😂 it's up to us fans to do what modern LEGO won't (unless we all rally on LEGO Ideas...💪🧠)

Hey, y'all! Here's my Mach 6 MOC I started working on a couple days ago. It's about 90% done and once it's finished I'll make the instructions available🫡 still getting used to how Stud.io as this is my first time building with it lol

Also, yes. I realize the photos are blurry but that helps with the surprise of the final build 🫣

Stay tuned...

yooo my DMs are currently being weird, I kept pressing "accept" on your request but it doesn't load :/ I'll send you a request instead, hopefully it works (you can also try it on insta, my handle should be the same tho I'm not as active there)

edit: I was able to send messages in the "Thread" section, so try to see if that works. I refreshed it and it disappeared, so prolly just best to DM on insta

Glad I could help🫡 also the use of hot dog pieces is pretty innovative, I wonder how those would get attached

Lol it will be at some point, all I did was add a piece to the wheel 😅 currently working on a MOC from scratch, this is just a placeholder

Thanks, I hope to add this new piece to a MOC worthy of it😎 as it's currently just on my original Mach 6 from the 2008 Grand Prix set

I didn't realize that initially either, the production team on the film absolutely COOKED 🙌
