If you want to build a cool hot rod then you don't have many possibilities today. One of them is Nico71's great alternative model of the LEGO Technic 42127 Batmobile, and another one is the Hot Wheels Bone Shaker from MEGA Construx. Which one is better? You can find it out in the video!

A very good comparison video indeed. You should consider looking at the newer Mega Construx, as the Bone Shaker was their first car model and had some growing pains. The newer ones look better and feature better building techniques.

The 42116 Skid Steer Loader has also a nice tiny hotrod as the b-model, I like its unusual steering system. It feels really good to "drive" around, they really nailed the feeling with that one. I recommend anyone who has that set to try building it! :>

I made some more modifications to my nico71's bucket hotrod. I stuck with the original wheels but I put light bluish grey dish's ( 6x6 on the rear and 4x4 on the front ) to represent moon discs, I swapped out the existing axels to be able to attach them. I moved the wheel arch on the fire wall forward 1 technic beam and filled in the gaps with the required technic parts. I lowered the height of the head lights and completely redesigned the lights from rims to two 2x4 round plates with a 2x4 round tile on the back and a 2x4 inverted trans clear tile on the front for a lens. I put a more realistic air cleaner on top of the engine and topped it off with a 1x1 round metallic grey tile to represent the wing nut, same or the radiator cap and petrol cap and tiled off the top of the radiator to remove to only visible studs. I added 1x1 modified plates in metallic grey for door handles. I also completely redesigned the front end because the original design fell apart too easily NICO71 did a great job using only parts from the batmobile but was obviously limited with what he could achieve, a little bit of brainstorming and some parts from my parts bin and it looks so much better.

Interesting seeing Mega Construx getting into the Creator Expert game. Especially considering the enormous Cyber truck coming out. Really like the Technic Batmobile design, and though I'm not in the market for a hot rod that fan B model is fantastic, and makes very clever use of not only the pieces, but the functions as well. Vespa tires look amazing on it. Technic 8440 I think was the first Technic set I ever attempted, and though the hotrod A model is pretty fun, I have since had it built as the B model being I think a dirt track race car of sorts.

the 2004 set (10151) is a reissue of the model team 5541 set released in 1995, called Blue Fury (the new one is not even in the Model Team theme). I know, because I still have the original model team set when I was a kid, i just built it again (and replaced some old parts with new ones).

Nico is such a talented and great builder. He had managed to make a really cool alternate and be the first one to who published an alternate for the Batmobile car set😅. And I'm not a fan of non Lego like sets, thus I'm choosing Nico's hotrod😁. Your modification makes it look even better, just don't hide it when recording a video for us😉

Making proper instructions is *tons of work*, it should be appreciated.
