LEGO Technic Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Reviewed

Is the LEGO Technic Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 42138 really worth $50? This is something new in lego technic, as we haven't had such large pullback cars before. However, the pullback feature also came with a lot of compromises, such as the lack of steering, suspension, and openable doors.

A good compromise would be an A Model for the pullback, and a B model for engine-steering-diff.

Awesome channel! I just started getting into Lego Technic with the Robot Inventor set and your in-depth reviews of pieces and sets is really helpful

If technic wants to add steering to a pullback set, something like the winch speed function in 2019’s tracked loader would work pretty well.

It would allow steering without it being annoying, and for the kids, you could pull off some sick turns with that.

Just built this model kit & I have to say even the connection to hold the bonnet in place was very upsetting for the design but still a great learning experience for my new love of LEGO technic

Thanks for a great post!Really looks like a fun build. Only thing is the color!

I have a question: would it be possible to modify 42138 with 42093 parts so that it has Steering, Engine, Differential and openable doors?

[G.LUFFY]

I think I'm gonna try make it open it's doors when I'm done and I'll upload a video how to if I'm successful

The front axle has enough space for modified into piston engine🤔

[TraceKillTv]

I’ll buy it just because it looks good lol

Can you do top 5 best lego technic rough terrain vehicles?

I want to like this, I just don’t. I guess I don’t really care about the pull back function. I would’ve liked doors that open. The Senna was a total surprise to me, and it was one of my favorite technic sets from this year. I wish it was built like that model. I think for $50 I would rather get some Speed Champions cars.

Unbrickme the slope panels in which Max-D is stickered are the other way round 3:08 pls correct it since I own the set it looks Ridiculous to me

[magnumsalyer]

Great review! Is this set already for sale?

[mbphilipblack]

Possibly £10-20 more to create a two in one sort of thing with the A model being the pull back and the B model having features. Or make this pull back line exclusive to electric vehicles as this would solve that feature less/ doors not being open but it would too be a let down.

I really don't recommend you to try any technic set outside

RE: Recent Technic Fake tiny engine blocks
Real pistons are connected to crankshafts, not resting on cams.
Real pistons don't pop out of the engine block

Personally, I think these are ridiculous, I'd rather have a non-functional engine model than one of those fake contrivances.
Challenge: make a boxer version

I think I'll be getting this and the Porsche, they look good for what they are.

The side design looks very similar to that of the 42098 car transporter’s car, so if that didn’t have openable doors then it was doubtful this would.

[Jhbuilds-rs]

I bought this set and I’m not bothered what people think I think it’s sick since it has mobile app

[legolover]

Yes the rubber band Idea would be nice will you make a video how to mad it??
