Extended Product Information

FAQs

How many pieces are in the LEGO 42240 set?

The set contains 1,547 pieces.

Is this set suitable for children?

This set is marketed primarily to adult builders (18+) due to the complexity of the Technic building system and the technical nature of the mechanics.

Does the set include motors or remote control features?

No, this is a static mechanical model and does not include electronic motors or remote control capabilities.

Can I use the digital instructions without a smartphone?

The set comes with physical paper instructions, but the LEGO Builder app provides additional 3D features that assist with the complex internal assembly.

What is the scale of the finished car?

The finished model is built in 1:8 scale.

How do I ensure the gearbox functions correctly?

Test the gearbox movement at several stages during the build before enclosing it within the chassis, as fixing internal gear alignment after the body is attached is difficult.

Troubleshooting

The wheels do not steer smoothly after assembly

Check the steering linkage connections to ensure pins are fully seated and that the rods are not obstructed by adjacent decorative panels.

The DRS spoiler does not raise when shifting gears

Re-examine the gearbox output connection; the mechanical link to the spoiler may be disconnected or pinched by a misaligned axle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of mechanical detail for engineering fans
  • Engaging 1:8 scale display piece
  • Interactive features like the functional DRS and gearbox
  • Detailed digital instructions via the LEGO Builder app

Cons

  • Large part count requires significant time investment
  • Complex internal gearing can be sensitive to minor assembly errors
  • Stickers require steady hands for proper alignment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin construction, ensure you have a large, clear workspace with adequate lighting to distinguish between dark grey and black Technic elements. We strongly recommend downloading the LEGO Builder app on a tablet or smartphone to take advantage of the 3D rotation tools, which are essential for navigating the complex gearbox assembly. Keep the model away from direct sunlight to prevent plastic degradation or fading of the official livery stickers. To clean the model, use a soft, dry brush or compressed air to remove dust from the intricate engine bays and suspension joints, avoiding water or liquid cleaners which may damage internal components.
