jyd80 Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 Hi, I made a C-Model for the 42048 Kart :) It features a Formula 1 with working direction (controlled by HOG) and a fake engine with two gears (which can be switched from the back). The hood can be opened. There are also two exhausts and a position light in the back. It is quite fun to play with and the steering radius is much better than the one of A-model :) Here are a few pictures: The HOG is in place of the steering wheel (small yellow part). Steering mechanism is similar to B-Model, but more flat (it is only 1 stud high). The gear box is taken from A-Model and features the same ratios. The switch is on the back however (could not really put it in the cockpit :p ). Any comment welcome ! Will post instructions on rebrickable as soon as possible. Quote
Wolfolo Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Yeah, well done! As it's common, C-Models look better than A/B-Models Quote
miguev Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Nice C model, I think it's the first time ever I see 42048 look good Quote
Vectormatic Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 Very cool! Dont get the hate for the A model though, its the best go-kart we've ever had from lego, both in terms of looks and functions. Quote
Bering Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 Looks as good as model A. Very creative build! Quote
Jim Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 Nice work! The wheels are a bit small, but that's the consequence of building a C-model You have captured the shape of an F1 car very well Quote
stevenhalim Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 Good C model :). I like F1 cars. Will try to build this from my spare parts. Rebrickable says I only miss the 4 wheel covers of 42048 set so this is buildable. Quote
offroadcreations Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 This looks great, you captured the look of a F1 perfectly. I can't wait to build it when you put it on Rebrickable. Quote
TheMindGarage Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 Cool! Looks very much like an F1 car. Steering geometry looks a little strange (pivots are far from the wheel), but that's unavoidable when you use small wheels. Cockpit and rear wing are amazing . Quote
cadre Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 Nice one! I've been seeing lots of great C models lately, this one included. Quote
Tomik Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 I agree with others that this formula is very good alternative model. Quote
Petros Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) Hello Really nice MOC. Looks like new F1 cars. I had a very similar idea last Month, so a build also a F1 Car (C Model Based on 42048) This is my forst MOC... , Edited June 28, 2016 by Petros Quote
lee82gx Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 hi jyd80, Is it true that you removed your MOC from Rebrickable? I have it marked as a liked MOC and recently I can't find it anymore. I'd like to still have a copy of the instructions if possible. Quote

1gor Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Due to limited number and variety of parts you've made great job Quote
Matthias_K Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 I've registered on this website just to say thank you for your MOC and instructions. I bought the kart on my holiday and had much fun building it, but the B-Model was a big letdown. Yours is much better as it keeps all functions and looks great! I've changed the model only slightly for aesthetic reasons. The main thing I wanted to change was the height of the rear spoiler as I feel it looks better when it's a little lower (although I had to cheat a bit there and now the back compartment won't fully open). I also slightly changed the steering to make it look more like a F1 steering wheel and to loose the protruding pin there. I also added the hose to the engine and slightly changed the seat. I have no idea if this interests you or anyone else, but I've added some small pictures of the changes. Quote

Hi, I know this is strange, but I just come to see your message now, more than a year after :s I was absolutely not aware that the MOC was removed from Rebrickable (dunno what has happened :s). I have re-uploaded it: http://www.alter-lego.org/entries/technic/Formula1-42048/Formula1-42048-instructions.pdf Instructions for my MOCs are also available from my website (www.alter-lego.org). Many thanks to all of you for the nice comments, and my sincere apology for this accidental disappearance. Quote
Andy D Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Great F1 MOC! Thanks for the instructions. I have. A spare 42048, just sitting in the box... I may just build this soon. Thanks gain, Andy D Quote
