Looks awesome, but inside... LEGO Technic 42143 Ferrari Daytona SP3 detailed building review part 1

[@RacingBrick]

The gearbox issue was fixed in the digital instructions, but there are other errors remaining in the manual. Click here for my up to date list of errors and fixes - racingbrick.com/2022/06/lego-technic-42143-ferrari-daytona-sp3-instructions-errors-and-fixes/

[@rufnusd8730]

Hello Balazs. Question. If we are to swap the cardan cups at Step 104 as you state, where do we do the alternate swap again in the manual? You cant swap one without swapping the pieces somewhere else in the manual. Or does the manual call out to use the second smaller cup correctly in another step? I was conveniently stopped at this step as I didnt have the second smaller cup in Bags1. Ive been waiting on the second smaller cup from Lego because I thought it was missing.

[@RacingBrick]

@@rufnusd8730 there's no part to swap at step 104, you need to use the longer one as indicated. The callout is wrong at the top, as the green checkmark is next to the shorter part instead of the longer one.

[@rufnusd8730]

@@RacingBrick Thank you. I understand. This being said, if everyone is following the manual then Lego should be having a huge influx of calls for the second small cup piece as you only have one in bags 1, used at step 89.

[@RacingBrick]

@@rufnusd8730 I think they won't, hopefully most people follow the main image, and additionally the smaller piece cannot be connected to the light bluish gray part with the ball at the end :)

[@DrClearVoice]

I bought 42143 few days ago, started to build yesterday. I found your article after I've proceeded to step 200.(1 of 1st box) Do I have to take everything apart to make it right? Or how many steps should I go forward?

So many printed pieces makes me happy but angry at the same time for the StarWars sets and other large scale with stickers included!

@@extrakubik4123 I would have bought the lambo without any hesitation if its colour wasn't so repulsive, this is truly a shame because apart from that I think it might be the best supercar set (technically the Bugatti seems better to me but I don't like its design)

[@extrakubik4123]

@@AB-dd4jz It's shame that it's colour especially on the spoiler are different but if you don't pay that much attention to it than it doesn't matter and on shelf it looks amazing.

Gotta say you have a good eye for small details... Would have never noticed the things you did. Awesome review

At 6:16 I feel there is something wrong with the front axle, the suspension arms should be at the same level of the bottom of the chassis .. it is up a little bit.. am i the only one who noticed this 🤔

[@TheChoppip]

One of the best Technic sets ever in terms of looks imo! The shaping is just amazing, with so few gaps. Not many functions though, but not sure what more we could ask for really. The price might be pushing it though ngl, as much as printed parts do def add value

[@denismulabegovic2147]

The mclaren f1 tho has a fair price and looks good but this is sick too

Well, I would as for some functions that are actually useable, since it is a Technic set after all ;)

[@BuriedDutchman]

I waited to buy the Sian when it was priced at around 230-250. I'll do the same for this one.

Just wait a year, you can easily get the Sian for 130€ less than msrp.

Watched a dozen videos about this model now. Your’s is by far the best. Detailed, spotted the errors, saw the Lamborghini looks and with all that also being one of the first to drop a review. Wow! Can’t wait to see your follow up video and order one myself. Keep it up!

[@TinkeringJohn]

I'm glad I checked your corrections to the instructions. I was wondering about the 2 extra panel fairings. Another error is in step 219. It shows a 1:1 diagram of where to put the bush on the axle. They show it at 6 stud units from the end, but it should be 5 stud units. The axle goes 4 stud units into the chassis. My set was missing 1 connecting rod for the engine and I had a mini roller skate instead (which the set doesn't use any of). I noticed something wasn't right with the transmission shifting, but hadn't gotten around to looking into it yet, Thanks for showing this correction and saving me time. Step 1267 also doesn't indicate the orientation of the plate, so you can put the 'L' beam on in the right direction to the top and bottom of the image on the front.

[@artinkeyyeganeh6472]

Great detailed look at the model/building phase. Good catch with the missing pieces from the instructions. Would love to see those new shock absorbers show up in most modern technic sets as well as Creator Expert vehicles for additional stability /functionality. A much better design as the previous one are too soft as evidenced on how tipsy the Raptor is when steering.

Great review! I will surely buy this one, to join the 3 other Lego Technic Super Cars. And thanks for the help on the use of the "extra" pieces. Can't wait for the next videos on this one.

[@Vstar299]

I think this set is one of the cleanest looking lego technic ever

[@behindthebuilds6764]

An amazing set! My only gripe with this is the amount of new pieces. Don’t get me wrong, I think new pieces are needed, but usually it is gradual. Not using as many new pieces shows Lego is capable of building with their own elements. Al in all, looks good though! Wish the gearbox was a bit different, too.

Again another great video … looks like an incredible set, looking forward to building it

[@artemis7605]

I think they changed the way they do the gearbox for Sián as previous ones had problems however I've found my Siáns gearbox doesn't work (no matter what I try to do.) and on previous cars the gearbox was fine for me so its a bit of a shame that they are sticking to that style but hopefully the problems won't be the same of this car.. Everything else about this car is great too.

[@brownpower9229]

That’s funny because my Sian works flawlessly but my Bugatti has started messing up, the gears just keep going there’s no stop on the lowest or highest gears.

[@artemis7605]

@@brownpower9229 Yeah I seem to be the only person who had a problem I had completely rebuilt it too and it just doesn't work for me. but the Bugatti and Porsche I have heard a lot of people have problems but those are fine for me...

I have the Sian. Loved building that (although some points weren't the clearest). This set looks great but, I am not a Ferrari man. My dream of a Lego Technic Lotus Esprit 350/650 would never happen but I can dream.

[@Breaddc2]

Great review on a great set. Looking forward to getting this... AND my wall mounting plates!

[@Mani-io5re]

It’s a bit sad, that the gearbox is essentially the same as the one in the lambo- but irl its quite the same as well. The mistake according the gearbox and the two missing panels in the instructions are a bit lousy. I like the book, altough it would’ve been cool if it was a gift for the first ten customers or would be way cheaper for people that are in some kind of „lego car club“. I really like that there are a lot of prints, and I like the way the rear is built. Also the box is nice and the tires too. But the real cool thing is the new Diff. I really looks sturdy- I like that and it‘s the only thing interesting for me as a technic MOCer 😊 Of course this set is way to expensive for a pile of plasic pueces and it also should belong to a separate „supercar“ line imo, Not into the technic line. At the same time I‘m sure lots of people will buy it and because of that it will be made many cool B- and C-models out of it. Like always a great review!

[@dowesschule]

the new diff gears look sturdy and like real-life-differential gears, which i like. but they / their connection also looks even more wobbly than the old differential (20 to 28 teeth with three 12 teeth gears inside), which means even more power goes into wobbling and eating out the technic beam/frame pin holes which hold the gears and axles. and that's a bummer. I am and have been trying to build a fast RC car with full suspension and gear box, but even with two buggy motors and a 11.1V LiPO it won't go 20km/h or more because most of that power goes into frying the motors or eating the drive train / transmission. i haven't yet tried the metal "lego" pieces that exist and always am excited about new, sturdier versions of lego parts (like the newer cv-joints from 42099) but these differential gears as well as the new 12 and 20 teeth gears look rather unnecessary for high-power applications.

[@nathanbriscoe871]

I finished building my Ferrari and had 2 extra black panel pieces. I was rechecking everything and I was like bro where did I mess up at???? I’m so glad I kept them and saw this video.

[@NorthCountryOutlaw]

A $400 Tag and it comes in basic plastic bags? I paid less for my Sian and Bugatti and their packaging was incredible, seeing plastic bags on that price is a little underwhelming to be honest.

[@crimcyan3037]

This one has to be my least favorite out of the 4, I will probably get it eventually after I get the sian. But I feel like they could've pulled off a F40 way better then the sp3 and maybe get better sales with the f40 being more iconic

[@lopi513]

Is there any improvement in the paddle shifters in terms of smoothness? 911 was a complete failure in that department. The Chiron was much better but still not that robust. Didn’t find any improvement on the Sian. Wonder if they made any improvements on this.

[@nerdatheart85]

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but I just looked at the instructions on Lego’s website and I THINK they revised the page with the gearbox issue, so hopefully the gear sequence is corrected. Unfortunately, they did not add the extra two black fins to the instructions.

[@RacingBrick]

I just checked the digital instructions and yes, it is corrected, but I don't think the update is done in a particularly clever way. The orange wave selectors form a V shape up until step 87, then at step 88 they have to be rotated when the green 2L beam is added, but going forward everything is shown in the original wrong configuration again. So the only changed step 88, let's hope people will understand what has to be adjusted in that step.

[@danielliang9389]

@@RacingBrick Hi man great video.But I’m still a bit confused. The digital version on the website still shows green piece pointing bottom left. 😅

[@RacingBrick]

@@danielliang9389 as I wrote in another comment here, There is no single correct position for these pieces. Their position relative to each other that matters. If the 2L beam points to down left, then the orange wave selectors should be in the updated position (same as the Lamborghini's instructions). If the 2L beam points to down right, then the orange wave selectors have to be in the position you can see in the paper instructions.

Nice set. Would like to hear your thoughts on how this compares to the Lamborghini Sian FKP. I literally just bought the Lamborghini brand new from official Lego store online locally at 48% discount off the retail price. Was delivered 2 days ago and haven’t open it. This is the first 1:8 scale model I bought. The price was just too irresistible. Read that some ppl took around 30+ hours to build it and I’ll be expecting the same for myself. If the Ferrari Daytona ever have such discount 2 years later, I may buy it then too assuming there’re still stocks of it by then
