Modification and improvements of 41999. Pimp my BOSS!

LEGO Guy Bri · August 13, 2013

Change what's left to black. Upload that to Bricklink as a wanted list, and you are ready to go. There are some exceptions like 2L axles which will stay red.

rebrickable has the full list for 41999

Thank you for your help Blakbird and jadedomg, unfortunately Brick Link doesn't have a parts list just yet. I still have to figure out the "wanted list" there as well, but I can't imagine it's complicated :classic:

If you read Blakbirds post, just change 41999 to 9398 and you'll be fine :wink:

Download Brickstore if you don't have it already. Import the inventory for 9398, then delete everything that isn't red. Change what's left to black. Upload that to Bricklink as a wanted list, and you are ready to go. There are some exceptions like 2L axles which will stay red.

Well after an hour and a half of trying to get BrickStore to work, I'm going to half to call it. Every time I tried to import to Bricklink, I'd either get "mass import issues found" or Brickstore freezes. I guess I'll try to do this piece by piece on BL. Getting this list may take some time :hmpf_bad: :classic:

Too bad it's not working. Brickstore rules!

I can do it for you. Just give me a minute.

By the way; how do you import the 9398 set? File, import , bricklink set inventory, select all, filter by 9398?

Here are the files you need:

Brickstore red parts
Bricklink wanted list for red parts
Brickstore black parts (replacement for red parts)
Bricklink wanted list for black parts

Beware that you should probably replace the black bushes with gray ones.

Hope this helps!

And please get Brickstore up and running, it's awesome :wink:

Hi Ted, thanks for trying to help, but I'm not sure if this link worked :classic:

Not sure? Or it doesn't work? :laugh:

Don't see why it wouldn't work. Do you have downloads blocked or something? It is a link to a .rar file, so maybe something on your pc is blocking the download.

How about this?

A little of both. I can download, did for BrickStore :blush:

Not sure what you mean :tongue:

Did you manage to download the .rar file? And is the wanted list usable?

Well hopefully below you'll see my Work-In-Progress BOSS mod ... can't call it a 4x4 Crawler anymore!

First job was to remove the body and make it a single assembly, I've done most of this as you can see, it's a little messy in places and I'm still working on the front lights/bumper and removing the winch and working out how to attach it all.

Second job was to work out the positioning of the wheels and then put together a very quick chassis to hold them in place.

I haven't added any motors etc yet it was just to work out the wheel to body relationship and give me a package envelope to work with. I think the underbody is going to be angled at the front and rear and hopefully raised in the middle so the body looks a lot thinner there.

Wheels are from the recent GP car in case you wondered (I'm hoping the MOC hot rod gets some instructions released at some point !)

If you want standart muscle car, you need smaller tires.

I think that looks great!!! It goes with the new trend I've been seeing here in California for oversized wheels/rims. Instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, but that is not standard:)

Yes, I agree with Egor... The tires are too big for a normal muscle car..

I received these Team Losi "Rock Claw" RC tires today, as well as an extra set of the 44772 rims in black. They are supposed to go on the 9398 i'm getting tomorrow, but i was impatient. :D

Those Rock Claw tires look great!

rm8 - what lower profile tyres can I get for these rims?

Personally I thought US muscle generally ran on deeper profile tyres than European and Japanese performance cars

GDomino - I've no idea how long its going to take me to finish and no idea how to go about making instructions up, but ill definitely post a load of pictures of the finished model so hopefully someone could reverse engineer

Normally 62x20 from 42009 are the best IMHO, but thin for rear axle...

low profile and wide 68,8 from 8070 is also good

81's are for lifted version

Well thread title does say "pimp my boss" - so I wasn't talking about "standard", but hey, it's all about preference. Just saying seasider's mod still fits the new trend here in the US for high risers/ and over sized wheels (see pic):
