Are there any off-road variants? Did not find, but this also seems to be in the Replacement Parts section which is asking for login, weirdly enough..

I would be very happy if new tractor tires would be available as replacement parts...

[MarkyMark42]

only looks like 1/8 & 1/10 on road at this stage but never say never i guess for future variants

Just some pictures of the new CaDA tires. It is the 1/10 ones, have the 1/8 also here but no nice rims for doing shootings.

Both sizes are exact clones of each other. Both are manufactured very well, profile and round shape given, for the softness aspect: on a plain desk surface they seem to slip more than they may grip.

Maybe you need to sipe them? I have a razor knife you can barrow!

Great! My order hasn’t arrived yet 😕 But looking forward to the new wheels 😊

More slippery sounds great 😃

@Lego Tom: I may just torture them on tarmac / concrete 

[Ryokeen]

@aFrInaTi0n watchout they might be drift tires :D

Oh... that could be fun!

[aFrInaTi0n]

I think for RC needs it may heavily rely on the temperatures, weight of the model and power to spin the wheels (and finally no moving parts melting or cracking... :D)

[R0Sch]

If they are not useful grippy rain tires what's the point for the Goodyear license? Also, they will only get harder as the years go by.

The looks, that's it.

[aFrInaTi0n]

@R0Sch They could have been more soft - but as we both know this would lead to stronger wear..

And for the material hardening out it is the same for all rubbers.. so for me not worth to discuss.

 

I think most of the people may just want to buy them for the looks - the rc field (with strong requirements) is considered a niche - unfortunately.. 😄

Typo fix

[wzhbt]

surprising to see this topic get a bit dead

Anyways, does anyone know if you can buy the alpha (the f1 car)'s wheels seperately now? I'm just getting back into bricks and those tyres look amazing. 

[aFrInaTi0n]

but its only same width for all 4 of a set, isn't it - so all are the same and go on the regular rims then?

And I thought there are some news about Claas Dominator...well (perhaps) it would be outumn release...

Nice that you pointed about new Shell sets

[R0Sch]

I'm sure TLG will not be amused that their lifelong collaboration with their raw oil beneficiary went astray to the competitor. I like the realism of the large gas station, but don't see a place where it would fit in the LEGO City, nor do I see myself putting it on display as a stand alone set. Does it have working lights or is it just box art?

[Maaboo the Witch]

What is the point of those sets?

[icm]

Well, gas stations have been part of Lego town and city layouts for decades, and in the past they have often had Shell logos. Lego hasn't made a big gas station for a big layout for almost a decade. It makes perfect sense for a growing competitor like Cada to exploit that gap in the market.

Integral part of any Lego city 

[Maaboo the Witch]

Does Shell really have a massive fan base that would want these?

I can hardly wait...there are few questions that only final official product can answer... so not far away...

Thank you

Friend on my b-day gifted me one Cada set - C64001W. And i pleasantly impressed, for it's price it really awesome.

Result is very solid - It's body and fairings are built like tank, and looks very stylish. Function wise its rather light - kickstand, rear suspension and steering (if it can be called like that :) )

Build uses alot of unique Cada's elements, like beams with pins on the end, or even leinght flip-flop beams. Parts quality was very decent.
Front wheel smaller then rear - while rear are regular current bike wheel, front similair to old white bike wheel.
