- 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.
@@GundamMeister807 Street Rodder looks interesting, I might get that one. I'm not sure why Rodger Dodger is way more expensive than the others though, has a similar piece count.
@@RacingBrick The Street Rodder Set has 507 Pieces, while Rodger Dodger almost doubles the piece count coming in at 1011 Pieces.
@@GundamMeister807 I was comparing Rodger Dodger to the Bone Shaker
@@RacingBrick I see now. Must be regional pricing. Here in Switzerland both are similarly priced with a difference of about 10 Euros converted due to high import taxes. Which matches up with the 100 parts difference.
I had Lego technic set 8440 as a kid, the "b" model was a cool hot-rod, loved that set! I think I'll have to go hunting in my loft for it!!
I have it also! but I have build and displayed the formula :)
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! :>
Yea Man i bought this set and it was so fun to play with, I love small Technic sets, recently bought set 42133 telehandler. and it was even better in my opinion and preety cheap for the amount of functions you got, really recomend this one
That's a cool one, I even reviewed it :)
There are other Hot Wheels replica from MEGA Construx: Street Rodder, Rodger Dodger and Purple Passion
Yep, I saw them, but so only this one was available around here so far. Rodger Dodger seems to be way more expensive than this one, I might get the Street Rodder though.
Both sets are really nice but I like the B model of the batmobile! Looks great. Already purchased the wheels and instructions! Thank you so much!
Too note I did also buy the mega construx set and had a blast building it! Plus it looks great on my TV stand...lol
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.
Thanks for your comment !
Nice to see something different! Thanks for doing a comparison review of the MC Hot Wheels hotrod with Nico71’s MOC. Very helpful info as always. Maybe you can review my pullback mod to the Mopar Dodge Dragster too someday, 😉 😉
I love the white walls, can you add list of extra parts needed to create the look
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).
That B model actually inspired me to make my own rc hot rod myself using a buwizz 2.0
Szia Balázs! I have the 42046 technic getaway racer. It has a hotrod-like style imo. Love your videos, keep up the good work!
Thanks! You are right, that's very much like a hot rod :)
I have this set too!
There is also the B model of the technic 8081. One of my favourite sets and the one that I learnt the most with :D
thanks!
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.
There were quiet many hot Rods as b model. As i remeber „formula offroader” has one and there was also black jeep style vehicle that has hot rod as b model as well.
lego found a new designer 😁
Please, make a review on the Mega Construx Hot Wheels Street Roadster. Cheers!!
40409 was a tribute to the original 5541 of 1994, the 10151 was simply a re-release 10 years later.
Very cool video!
Could you rewiev Rolling Bricks's Rx7. It is an alternate model for the Speed champions Toyota Supra. The build is super cool with some very interesting building technuiqes .
Great content as always.... what brick connect's your 6+6 wheel cover to the motorbike wheel thanks
2 pieces of 2x2 round plates at the front, and the rear needs an additional 2L axle
There's also a Hotrod MOC for the Dom's Charger set. It also looks really cool.
What kit number?
@@bethanyphillips5045 Kit 42111.
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😉
Why not? There are lots of other building block brands nowadays, some of which have sets which are just as good as Lego. Sometimes even better, as some manufacturers have abandoned stickers in favor of pad printed pieces.
Thanks !
when u cant afford any lego sets, but still watch lego videos -_-
The Boneshaker looks heavy. Have you weighted the two to see if there is a big difference in number of pieces?
its sad for the white line but otherwise the mega construx hot rod tires would have been great for the f1 mclaren
Do you script your video’s or do you just make things up along the way? Love your video’s
I usually write down my thoughts during building
@@RacingBrick so you don’t make a word for word script?
@@poemes depends, but usually I make a draft with the major points I'd like to talk about
@@RacingBrick thanks
I do miss the Hidden Side set 70434 Supernatural Race Car. For me at least it counts as a hot rod, and I liked it enough to buy it.
That one looks great as well, although it's a bit more like a rat rod / Mad Max style vehicle :)
Can you tell me where can i find the back tires to your black custom batmobile hotrod car? The two rear tires in lego number
www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=23799&idColor=11#T=P&C=11
@@RacingBrick and the rims is it 4 same rims? Or is it 6 rims together, double rim on the back tire?
@@nikogt406 6 rims altogether
I'm currently making a 16 cyl hotrod out of lego technic
Go with the Crowkillers version
There are many great custom builds, I wanted to show what is available off the shelf or with a conversion of an official set
try to built one out of the 42111 dom's dodge charger
@RacingBrick my friend is asking for trains, will it be possible?
its fine if you don't like trains.
I think I already replied you once, I will review trains when LEGO releases new ones
@RacingBrick ah sorry mate I didn’t check my replies 🤣
Is that skull an actual Lego piece ???
I don't think so, unless LEGO buys the MEGA Construx brand :)
@@RacingBrick I thought it was some kind of MOC comparison in the beginning :)
With how much LEGO pay for new moulds, i wonder how MEGA do it for every single set unless they pay a fraction of LEGO's mould price
How did you Lower the roof?
Took out a piece
@@RacingBrick awesome thanks man and your content is cool 👍😃
I like Lego version much more simply because of ingenious techniques usage and no custom elements whatsoever.
Magyar?
Try building the lego optimus prime i seenit is out now🥳
I will try building it when I can buy it :)
Have you guys heard the rumour, that this year supercar will be Ferrari Daytona?
I need more money. I like all the sets I have, and the ideas that are out there for alternate builds are just fantastic, but I don't want to disassemble my Batmobile. 😂 I need more money to buy additional sets - anyone have suggestions on how to sell the idea to my wife!

Hmm… \:-)
You should review the Mega Construx HW Rodger Dodger!
The Rodger Dodger is like a late-60’s/ early-70’s muscle car with a GIGANTIC V8 engine with a blower intake.
@@franciscs1604 I've seen that one, but it costs twice as much as Bone Shaker around here with approx the same amount of parts and as I see it does not offer more exciting building techniques with the boxy body design. I might rather check the Street Rodder or the Purple Passion.
@@RacingBrick
Oh.
personally i am not that interested in either of these but still a great and interesring review👍
honestly, the megablox one is better since you don't have to buy the manual apart from the set, if it weren't for the fact that you have to pay to have the instructions for this, the MOD would definitely win
I'm not sure what is the difference? You either pay for the stock experience in one package (bricks + instructions), or you first pay for the bricks and then you pay for someone's creative work to turn that set into something completely different. Making proper instructions is *tons of work*, it should be appreciated.
@@RacingBrick as you said, the first option pays for the stock experience in a pack (bricks + instructions), it's better, because you pay for 2 sets and then you pay for another instructions(I'm not denying the merit of the instructions creations) me It seems more like someone who has no imagination and well one can buy the set and make a hot rod moc that pleases him, but within the options that there are, the megablox is better, you can't find the difference because because you are reading it very literally, for that when you read it it looks almost the same, but when you act it is very different you spend more on the second option than on the first
Second
Yes the silver is not perfect but lego is to dumb to use as is should. See Harley or Delorean. When lego would buy me, as they do it to you, i would the say the same.
So wait, it's actually challenging to follow a conspiracy theorist's thinking... I don't say the silver looks weird because it uhm, maybe *actually* looks weird but because LEGO "bought me"?
You guys are truly amazing, really :D
