S Kettle Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 This car transporter has lots of flexibility for adding power functions. I have also added a winch as an extra function too. I have just finished adding remote control to my model. You can see all the features in this video: Quote
Touc4nx Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 I just found a little error in the instructions on step 37, the red part in the left assembly rotates between step 1 and 2 Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted August 17, 2019 Author Posted August 17, 2019 He also looks equally baffled as he does in the 42097 B model review... Quote

This guy gets his kicks out of shitting on pretty much everything. Anyway, the model is ridiculously easy to motorise. I didn't buy it nor do I plan to 'cause to me it's pretty pointless - other than the red wheel arches and red tapered panels it's the same old parts yet again - so I downloaded the instructions and threw together an RC version of the tractor unit.

SNIPE Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) Does anyone else's instruction manual cut off the right hand side of the liftarm on page 455, or is this intentional? In any case there were other definite mis-prints so LEGO sent me a new instruction manual. Edited August 28, 2019 by SNIPE Quote
pleegwat Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 Yes, I am indeed seeing the main work being cut off a bit. It's step 95 of the trailer. I was also surprised that this instruction manual was slightly smaller than all of my other ones. Quote

Touc4nx Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 I didn't notice it as I built the truck but I have indeed the same print. Quote
JunkstyleGio Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 What a fun model! Full of functions and i all love them. Great built and alread some fine extra cars to build for. (I've added Matt Walker 42093 c-model formula racer and his Dodge Challenger ) Quote
SNIPE Posted September 13, 2019 Posted September 13, 2019 I was suprised that there is no ramps on the upper deck like there is on the lower deck, just for convenience Quote

Parazels Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) What do you guys think of the set after a year of availability in stores? Now I can buy it for $100, but I still can't justify the purchase. On a one hand there are many parts for the price, but no really new parts like xl actuators or new wheel hubs. On the other hand both A and B models don't appeal to me at all! I see the truck as a good big toy (like Bruder), but do not see it as a proper Technic set. Edited March 17, 2020 by Parazels Quote
JunkstyleGio Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 @Parazels If you can get the set for about $100 it is a good bargain. Personally I thing it is a great set. It is a fun build, both A and B model and ready to get you modding. With almost 2.500 parts it is a good parts pack too. Quote

suffocation Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 Definitely worth it. Easy to motorise, great C models, decent parts pack - win all across the board. Quote
Tazmancrash Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Hey there all. Got this set a few months back & picked up 42093 Corvette over the weekend to add to it. Now I'm wondering if TLG will release more cars to fill it up. Guess well see in 6 months Quote

But there is no real need for that, you can bricklink the parts for any of the amazing entries of the recent contest run in eurobricks. From the entry topic linked below you can reach each individual MOC. I am sure there are several who have shared the building instructions in rebrickable, some of them for free (GT40, Tatra, F355) [TC18] Technic Small Car Contest - Entry Topic Quote
Tazmancrash Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 Hey there all. I have this set & the Corvette to go with it. I'm looking at buying 42022 hot rod to go with it. Has anyone tryed to see if it fits? Quote
JunkstyleGio Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) It should probably fit, but won't look that good. There are many alternative and add-ons available on Stud-io, Rebrickable and even here on EuroBricks. You could even try to build some car yourself out of spare parts.

Tazmancrash Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 Yes I have seen some of the entries. There was a nice looking white porsche that caught my eye. I was just wondering if the hot rod would fit as there's one for sale locally right now. Quote
