Does MOCBoxing use LEGO® bricks?

All MOCBoxing orders use only genuine LEGO® bricks unless the product description says otherwise. The only times we do not use them are when MOC designers specifically request parts that The LEGO® Group does not make, like electronic parts or train axles.

New vs. Used Parts

For the new parts, all parts are new unless they are not available anywhere on the market. This very rarely happens and is usually only for discontinued parts in Old Grey or other retired colors. New parts are straight out of a box or LEGO Pick-a-Brick, and have never been built with before.

Used parts have been built with before and may vary in wear and age.

Are electronics included?

Non-LEGO electronics are not included. Most MOCs that require electronics specify if they require BuWizz, TrixBrix, Lightailing or other parts, which can be bought on those respective websites.

What comes in an order?

  • Orders will come with all of the bagged parts for the MOCs you order.
  • Extra parts are included for parts that are small and may go missing.
  • Parts for MOCs under 15$ are grouped together.
  • Minifigures are not included unless otherwise stated
  • Digital instructions will be emailed to you unless the MOC description says otherwise.
  • Orders do not include printed boxes or printed instruction manuals, but you may email us to get a custom quote for these upgrades.

How long does shipping take?

Shipping usually takes less than 10 business days in the US and less than 20 business days internationally. Occasionally there are delays while we wait for suppliers to send us parts.

Do you accept returns?

We order parts from multiple suppliers to make your order specifically for you. Since each order is custom made, we cannot accept returns.

To me, the Ferrari #42125 and the Porsche #42096 embodied an interesting concept to provide nice looking cars with interesting functions for a reasonable price, due to their 1:10 scale. However, their functions were not as developed as they could have been: both cars were lacking a gearbox.

I wanted to create a model which would integrate both a nice design and interesting functions at the same scale as the models mentioned previously. Here is what I have achieved:





The Hoonipigasus

Many impressive cars, including the Peugeot 205 T16 or the Peugeot 208 T16, were born for Pikes Peak. The Hoonipigasus is part of them. It was to be driven by Ken Block, who unfortunately, passed away in a snowmobile accident.
The original car features an AWD transmission powered by a 1400HP central flat 6 engine. It has got a pushrod suspension controlled by GPS, so the height of the car is adjusted to optimise the aerodynamics, as the air becomes less dense when you are close to the top of the mountain.



Design

I managed to make the bodywork as simple as possible, meaning that there are no complex orientations of the panels. To me, this is what looks best. Judge by yourself!









Steering

The wheels can be steering using the HOG or directly the steering wheel. However, there is a little defect: if you move the car backwards using the HOG, a gear of the transmission may slightly touch a bush, producing some noise. This could easily be fixed by removing the HOG, but to me, the pros of the HOG beats the cons.



Suspension

This was sooooo hard to make! I wanted to repoduce the F1-type suspension of the real car, and I also wanted the system to be reliable. This means that the ball joints had to work in compression and not in traction, otherwise it would not work properly (the joints would be taken apart). At this scale, the space was limited, but after many, many hours, I came up with a satisfying mechanism.



Openings

The doors and a panel of the front trunk can be opened, while the rear trunk can be removed to see the rear suspension.





Gearbox

This car features a 4-speed sequenial gearbox (4 front gears). The shifter is almost the same as Lego Technic Mastery's. There is a stop so you cannot shift from 4th to 1st gear.









The video shows the non-LEGO version of the model. If you have any question about it, please, contact me by private message or on social media, keep this page about the LEGO version only.
