Why explore alternative builds?

• Maximize play value. Breathing new life into the same bricks keeps kids and AFOLs engaged longer.

• Hone your design skills. Tackling different build challenges (like stability vs. speed) helps you learn structural techniques.

• Showcase versatility. A LEGO set that transforms into multiple distinct vehicles demonstrates ingenious part usage—perfect for social media or display.

• Community sharing. Submitting your own MOCs inspires others and invites feedback from fellow builders.

Creative Build Suggestions

1. Hybrid Roadster: Combine the EVO’s aerodynamic panels with Technic beams to craft a low-slung, two-seater street racer—add flick-fire missiles under the chassis for a ninja twist.

2. Utility Support Rig: Use the set’s large wheels and sturdy tailpipe elements to build a mobile repair cart or fuel hauler—ideal for pit-stop-themed dioramas.

3. Element Swap Play: Integrate pieces from other Ninjago sets (like gold sword hilts or dragon claws) for a mythic racer that’s half vehicle, half beast.

4. Team Race Series: Build a trio of color-coded racers (Jay, Nya, and an original fourth member) for head-to-head drag races—perfect for mini-figure competitions.

5. Modular Track Stunt: Design a slalom or loop track using EVO’s beams and connectors—snap on the cars and let gravity do the rest.

By thinking beyond the stock model, you’ll unlock new storytelling possibilities and elevate your building prowess. Ready to see what fellow builders have concocted? Below are three standout MOCs that make stellar use of Jay and Nya’s Race Car EVO parts.
