Yes. This is my MOC from my personal avatar. Where did I get inspired from? THIS! Well at least he did his best so I try much harder for him and this is the result: If your curious of what's inside: Phew! that's it for today. I might make some changes soon if i'm still not satisfied but until then, I'm out.

I didn't have time for any in-depth analysis, but I wanted to compare the two versions by building the same car and doing a time trial at Imperial Grand Prix. I think the difference is really obvious, you can see it in the video below:

Anyways, This is dy_enforcer here, saying hi to the RRU community. Registered since January 2017 but because of the renovation, I was unable to introduce myself. By now, you guys know me as the one who upload my MOC's from LEGO racers. I'm a huge fan of the game, but that's not the only one I have. Island, Rock Raiders, Stunt Rally, LEGOLAND, Alpha Team, Racers 2 and many others I do have but the one that is true to my heart is LEGO Racers. Sadly, most of my childhood games are now lost forever and couldn't salvage most of my collection. Luckily LEGO racers is the only one I found and still works to this day. The reason I was here is because of course the additional color bricks mod. Downloaded it before RRU temporarily shuts down and it really helps me get an inspiration to build my racers. Had it not been for the community, I wouldn't be here to this day. That's all for now, I'll be going back to web-browsing. Thank you and again sorry for the late greeting

As you may already know, It's possible to edit the .LEB files in the PIECEDB folder to change what bricks are available in what color in any given category. (Or, by editing a small bit of binary, add additional bricks.) So for those of you who don't wish to mess with these files yourself, or if you just want a nice base for editing with some of the more common ones already there, I've compiled this little mod which will add the following bricks to your game without overriding anything: 11 new basic bricks in beige to the Johnny Thunder menu 14 new green bricks to the Veronica Voltage menu (The 12 basic brick types, plus the flag and spoiler) 1 new green brick to the Castle menu (the Castle theme flag) As for why I didn't split the green bricks up between the Standard and Racing menus, there's an unfortunate hard limit of 30 bricks per menu, forcing me to add to menus with smaller amounts of bricks. Download This is fairly basic for now, but I plan on adding additional pieces that could benefit from additional colors that I can find space for, and it's a good place to start if you want to edit these menus yourself. Remember, you can always edit these files to get any brick you want in any color temporarily, and then switch it back when you're done. I'll also look into any possibilities of getting around the limit of 30 bricks per menu, but for now, enjoy.

Again I would like to thank Oboeshoes and UTF for making this great and useful mod. Link below: http://www.rockraidersunited.com/topic/4886-additional-brick-colors-mod/ Anyway I wanted to show my custom racer since they put green bricks into the inventory. As the title says, this is Betty Octane and her 50's indy style car I made this vehicle ever since I install the mod last year and it took me over two weeks to get the right angles. Three inspirations that came to mind: 1. Octan logo 2. An old 1992 LEGO commercial where the narrator talks about Mean Eddie Octane. 3. Google search for 1950's indy car You can view more images in the members gallery. This is all I can show in a meantime but I still have plenty of other custom racers I have made so stay tuned UPDATE: I edit out the menu screen to focus on the car and the racer and to lessen the size of the picture

if this is true and car size affecting speed and control is seriously another difference between the 99 and 01 versions and all the time trial and speedrun records are rendered invalid as a result until it can be verified which version they were done on i am going to go f****ing nuclear

Room for one, "or two" more? https://gfycat.com/TenseHardtofindEnglishpointer

So I've been lurking here for quite a while. I finally got round to learning a bit of Unity, one thing led to another and I came up with this: I've tried to be as faithful as possible, so even including the errors in the original track. Now I know what I'm doing, it doesn't take quite so long to do more tracks, but it's still very manual, and I've not worked out how to do some things yet. Plus I have no idea what my actual aim is, I just think it's pretty cool! I've attached a screenshot of the next part of the project. These new forums are great, but I could really do with a post preview option...

I hope it's alright with you Oboe Shoes, but I went ahead and added a lot more colors using your modified .LEB files as a base. Here's an updated list of parts that are now included: Default Bricks: None Default Race: None Default Space: 5 "1x2 tile with Handle" bricks (Black/Light gray/Green/Beige/Brown) Default Castle: 4 castle flags (Beige/Brown/Light gray/Dark gray) Captain Redbeard: Racing brown flag King Kahuka: 2 Light gray corner bricks. Basil the Batlord: 15 brown bricks (Basic bricks, corner bricks, spoiler).. Johhny Thunder: 11 beige bricks. Beige corners, spoiler and flag in the next set. Baron von Barron: Beige corners, spoiler, and flag + 8 "3 x 6 without corner" bricks (Red/Yellow/White/Light gray/Dark gray/Green/Beige/Brown) Gypsy Moth: 7 inverted slopes (Blue/Red/Yellow/Black/Green/Black/Beige). Rocket Racer: 17 dark gray bricks (Basic bricks, corner bricks, inverted triangle, spoile, racing flag). Veronica Voltage: 16 green bricks (Basic bricks, corner bricks, spoiler, racing flag). Most notable are the inclusions of brown and dark gray colors! Download
