Vroomsporter Truck (front)
The Vroomsporter is a modified Lego City Car Transporter, Set 60305. I bought the set used at the Minifigure store. The original truck and trailer looked too small, and wimpy, so I upgraded it. This Auto Hauler is now longer, more detailed and can hold bigger Speed Champions style cars.
The Truck it self got two extra wheels with fenders givinig it a more realistic look. I also changed the front grill, added exhaust stacks, proper tail lights, fuel tanks, and that horseshoe shaped thing around the hitch that's on all tractor trailers.
The Trailer was lengthened by 4 studs, allowing it to hold 3 standerd 6 wide speed champions style cars. It was also given an extra set of wheels, turn signals and two additional tail lights. My biggest gripe with the original set was the single set of fenderless wheels on the trailer which looked very unrealistic. I wanted to put fenders over the new wheels, but they just didn't work with the flat bed design, not allowing cars to roll on and off easily, so I left it with out. The Trailer's tilted ramp feature is still functional, even though I moved the second set of arms back a bit. I wanted to add more structure like you see on real Auto Haulers, but I found that I couldn't with out compermising the working ramp feature.
The set came with a single orange and black convertable car that was pretty much perfect as is. I only added four 1x1 orange plates behind the front and rear bumpers to close the gap between them and the fenders. Seen here with my Molecule's Revenge cyberpunk car MOC, and my Splinter 453 S car MOC.
