Wow, that thing sure is crammed with functionality! Fantastic replica as well, the time it took to build it shows

I'm assuming you're talking about LDD? If so, for that you need to enable developer mode, refer to the following topic for instructions: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/151152-ldd-developer-mode/

Reverse-engineered mmyself a copy, mad little nugget

Looks like a lotta fun! I know how hard it's to cram RC at that scale, but yours managed to do it beautifully Looking forward to the video

That's gotta be the best deal ever possible in the history of Technic deals Congrats!!!

Now that you mention it, sounds very likely, considering the recolored re-release of the cherry picker set...

Nice little fella with great playability

Ecologically friendly car, with a Volkswagen badge slapped on top

Well, most likely Mercedes or Ferrari (maybe McLaren or Aston Martini?), since they're the "big guys" and had licences in Speed Champions. But I'd rather see an AlphaTauri, their 2021 livery is the most simple one with only 2 colours, so the Lego model would look good even without the stickers: Wonder what they'll use for the tyres - Tumbler ones?

Assuming the info is correct in regards of scale, here's more or less how it will look like side-by side with Sian:

What a monster this will be size-wise A bit dissapointing it's not in-scale with neither the UCS supercars nor the Ducatti though, but if this means it'll have a more complex mechanics, would be great. Maybe functional brakes? Plenty of space for it, albeit they'd need something similar to the flex cables.... 200/55 ZR 17 on rear -> 653mm diameter -> 1/5scale -> 130mm 120/70 ZR 17 on front -> 599mm diameter -> 1/5 scale 120mm Edit: seems I was a tad slow to answer

So, something that could've been a system set was needlessly brought into Technic and looks... well bad. At least a bigger black inventory I suppose hahah.

If I recall correctly: The encoder has two parts. The PCB with the pads indicating position and the rotating dial thingy that connects the pads, which tells the servo what position it is in. The pads are made from a softer metal (copper?) and the rotating thingy is made from harder material (steel?). Due ro that, during use the copper pads can get damaged and sometimes you can fix it by cleaning them, but other times the servo won't come back. Aaaand, they're known to break often (hence the ludicrous prices for genuine Lego ones). Had they made both parts from same type of metal (with the same hardness) it perhaps would've failes less. But we don't and won't know, since TLG never bothered to try and fix the issues, simply replaced the broken motors.

Pretty sure the replacements for consumers because of servo's incredibly poor reliability due to a design defect had cleared them of any extras they had

I certainly hope we won't get yet another new panel - perhaps they'll use the triangular one from Sian, or use flexaxles? The MK panel could fit, but honestly it'd be a tad overbearing due to the big size and intricate curvature. Edit: 50$ pricetag.... #21/22 panels? honestly no idea what they would do on such a weirdly shaped car.... Besides, I'd rather see more colour variety (not like I care personally, but all things considered would rather have my MOCs buildable for others) Overall a dissapointing, but not surprising list.
