Unleashing New Horizons with Jay and Lloyd’s Velocity Racers (71709-1)

In the heart of Ninjago’s adrenaline-fueled racing scene, Jay and Lloyd’s Velocity Racers set (71709-1) roars to life with its electric blue accents, sleek Technic elements, and robust System bricks. Yet, beyond the high-speed thrills of the original dragster and hot rod combinations lies an untapped reservoir of creativity: the spare parts of this set can be reimagined into four distinct MOCs that redefine velocity in every direction. Imagine roaring through winding forest trails on a nimble trike, slicing through the skies in a jet-like fighter plane, carving through city streets on a streamlined chopper, or skimming across water on a futuristic powerboat. Each build maintains the set’s signature color palette—vibrant blues, trans-neon green windshields, and bold yellow highlights—while showcasing ingenious engineering solutions that honor the spirit of Jay’s lightning speed and Lloyd’s stealthy agility.

These alternative models not only breathe new life into familiar elements like the large-diameter blue wheels and angular paneling but also challenge builders to explore unconventional connections. By stripping away preconceived notions of what a “racer” must be, you’re invited to fuse System bricks with Technic pins in novel ways—crafting articulated fairings on the Velocity Chopper, repositioning jet intakes on the Velocity Fighter Plane, or balancing hull plating on the Velocity Boats. Whether you’re a seasoned MOCer or a newcomer eager to experiment, these designs demonstrate how a single set inventory can yield multiple high-performance vehicles, each with its own narrative and functionality .
