This is how mine looks under the hood now

Hello If you check my pics on page 23, you'll see how I secured mine. I had an extra beam to go across behind the batbox, some extra pins, 2x1 plate on box and ... :) No movement any more and it can still be charged in car.

Thank you Bruno, Cada and people on this forum, this thing made me feel like a kid again :) Been probably 35 years since I last touched any kind of Lego or other bricks, but few weeks ago a coworker brought a question about building stuff from Lego. I still have my creations from back then, not a technic, but ... well its still out there to decide: So with that I remembered the moment seeing Lego Bugatti set in a store 2 years ago and thinking its great, but really not cheap, so I set on a quest to surf youtube, guess what I found :) Yup, it took 3 days to arrive from Amazon Germany and another few days to put together ... wow Yes, I made back end straight, as I really didn't feel that lip and also shortened nose axles, so there were no gaps. Since there were some extra bits and me not being keen on frame above engine and hood freely flapping around when turned, I put few of those to use. Also made pins for hood and secured the battery/receiver in place. Changed the location of hood support to outside, as it was pushing the hood up, if left on inside. Now it can join my other RC collection As I already saw, from other people building it, that some connections might not be so secure, I got myself some quick drying nail clear coat, to put it on those few problematic 2 length axles, let it dry, push together and carry on. This was the only problem I had, a slightly defective axle (seems that machine run out of material), but since it was still good under the gear, I just left it as is. One thing on receiver and papers stating to be careful about choosing the charger: Plugged it into 1A and then into 2A charger, no change in current: So I'll just use what lands in my hand, to charge it :) I also used silicone grease in wheel hubs, and it runs great, will also spray some silicone lubricant in gearbox if needed.
