LEGO SET 77246 - Alternate build| Visa Cash App RB VCARB 01 F1 Race Car

May 20, 2025

LEGO Speed Champions sets aren’t just ready-built race cars—you can reconfigure their slick parts into wildly different machines, from off-road racers to street-legal customs. The 2025 Visa Cash App RB VCARB 01 F1 Race Car (set 77246-1) offers a treasure trove of specialized pieces—low-slung chassis elements, curved body panels, wide tires, and printed sponsor tiles—that form a perfect foundation for creative MOCs. Here are a few ideas to spark your next build:

1. Futuristic Hot Hatch
Use the F1 cockpit’s curved panels as a sporty hatchback roofline. Pair with the set’s larger Speed Champions wheels mounted on modified wheel arches to create a compact street car. Swap the rear wing for a low-profile spoiler, and bedeck the front with the set’s sleek nosecone to give a hint of racing DNA.

2. Rally-Ready Buggy
Reconfigure the chassis into a raised-suspension rally buggy. Elevate the body with longer Technic liftarms or suspension bricks, mount the chunky Speed Champions tires at each corner, and adapt the front nosecone as a unified light pod. The set’s printed tiles make great dashboard elements or synthetic grille details.

3. Street Formula Concept
Blend the raw speed of the original aero elements with street car cues—reposition the F1 nose and side pods onto a wider wheelbase, add mudguards over the tires, and convert that massive rear wing into a more subdued street spoiler. Pair with exposed engine blocks (from other Technic pieces) for a wicked concept car vibe.

4. Compact Cyber-Hatch
Lean into a futuristic aesthetic: chop the monocoque into a squat two-seater cyber-hatch, mount small side-pods as wheel covers, and reorient the printed Visa and Cash App tiles as hi-tech lighting panels. Accent with any transparent elements you have to simulate energy conduits or LED arrays.

5. Ultimate Collector’s Display
Combine elements from this set with other Speed Champions F1 models for a multi-car diorama. Use the unique livery pieces here as a centerpiece, flanked by contrasting liveries, to tell a story on your shelf.
