Technic Drag Racer Speed build and thoughts

[OmgItsNitro]

Really enjoyed building the Technic Drag Racer but my favorite build is still the 24 hour race car.

The 24 hour race car has more features such as the mechanical rear end left and doors that made it very fun to build!

The Drag Racer doesn't have much mechanical features compared to the 24 hour race car but still enjoyed the build.

Mechanical feature comparison:

- 24 Hour Racer

• Detailed V8 engine with moving pistons
  
• Opening gull-wing doors
  
• all-round independent suspension
  
• working front steering,
  
• opening front trunk and engine hood.
  
• Upgrade with Power Functions motor
  

- Drag Racer

• V8 engine with moving pistons,
  
• working front steering
  
• Raise the body shell to reveal the chassis
  
• Upgrade with Power Functions motor
  

Overall the 24 hour racer is more customizable and has more realistic features to it!

Since no one replied I will, Woohoo, It really is great. I will cheer you on every time I get the chance. But like I said on Youtube: try to soften the light. Oh and there is a blue tint to the video, the White Balance needs adjusting.

Consider me as underwhelmed by the dragster. I immediately took apart the A model, but the B-model is still together.

Probably not for very long though.

Ya rollermonkey I guess if funny cars aren't funny to you, then you will need to go with something a bit more serious, maybe a bucket-wheel excavator.

Thanks lol, I'm working on adjusting the white balance but the shadows are killing me.

Took mine apart too, still haven't had the chance to build the dragster though!

Nay, the dragster is fine, I just want those wheels!

[hadidi1999]

I know tumbler wheels , I only have two of those from my Vip Batpod

Yup I am one in a thousand.

I keep repeating that, but the 42050 is a neat representation of a funny car, has all the necessary functions and the "wheelie" function is perfect for displaying the model properly. Love the colour, too. I got mine for Christmas and it still stays on the shelf, "wheelieing". I have plans on building a C-Model, though. Probably a supercharged hot rod tractor thingy.

HotRod Tractor Thingy, Wow cool, Where can I find it when you are done?

I'm a drag race fan. Lego miss the mark BIG TIME on this one. Probably will only buy this one if I find on a big sale somewhere, then build the B model. It's a tad better, but not by much.. Very disappointed in this set.

Ok, What do you think they missed, I don't see anything wrong with it.
