Super cool contoured body shape and distinctive black and orange and chrome decals. Pull back and get ready to blast away from the starting grid.

  • Black Champion Racer measures over 2” (6cm) high, 9” (24cm) long and 3” (10cm) wide.
  • Combine with 42027 - Desert Racer to create an amazing Race Truck with 2 pull-back motors!
  • Combi model measures over 3” (10cm) high, 8” (21cm) long and 3” (10cm) wide.

This combined model build went well till close to the end for the rear wing. In the building instruction it uses a normal worm gear 2L and a 5L axle with stop. Both parts are not in the sets! This is what it all comes down to: First image the step in the instruction, second image the part in the inventory of the booklet and finally how I managed to solve it with existing parts in both the sets. At first I thought there was an error in the inventory in bricklink.

Features


Pullback motor
The pullback motor is a strong one and can give some speed to this car. Especially on a wooden floor. With this F1 look-a-like bodywork a realjoy seeing it flying over the floor. On carpetluckily doesn't move at all as a F1 shouldn't be so fits the geometry very well!Looking in the pullback motor itself, the torque is divided over 2 small and 2 bigger gears. On the axle a 13 tooth,than a 26 tooth gear a 12 gear one and then finally a bigger drum shaped gear of around 36 tooth (I can't find a good picture) with the spring in it. Which brings it to a ratio of about 2:3.

Livery
 
The livery of this car is flashy and fits the type of vehicle very well. Without the stickers it is a bit of dull set. When you applied the stickers the set brightens up and gets somemore body. I am always surprised how Lego manages to get more out of a set with some strategically placed stickers.

Wheels and Tires
 
This set contains 8 sets of wheels and tires of type:
  • Black Tire 37 x 22 ZR.
  • Black Wheel 30.4mm D. x 20mm with No Pin Holes and Reinforced Rim.
