SNIPE

I wonder if we get 22961 pinhole with 1L axle in yellow, the submarine has 1x1 beam in yellow (FINALLY!) 😃

Ok mr @astyanax https://bricksafe.com/files/snipe/42172-mods/20241202_230939.mp4 unfortunately it doesn't work very well so im trying a new idea but its nightmarishly hard, I've been at it for 14 hours straight but tomorrow I think I will make a breakthrough. feel free to improve this if you want. Ill make the digital model of it soon. my other idea is to use some sort of piece as a cam that also acts as a lever, the cam function prevents the shock from sagging but still allows it to compress. The cam rides on the bottom of the shock absorber just above the pinhole. I think the spring will have more clearance when I get the P1 suspension arms

Good amount of functions in a small set Good parts pack Unique set idea You kow what this set is? - it's good!

I think this is maybe the first time i've seen a flat4 engine in a lego set

oh

This set looks like it's around 5 years old.

Here we go: Lego URL: https://www.lego.com/en-pl/product/oracle-red-bull-racing-rb20-f1-car-42206 2 speed gearbox, engine with new engine block pices, new wishbones, suspension, steering, drive Go Nuts!

that's true for very short bars like the 1x1 tile round with bar on top, but it should be fine here. its why I had to cut my 6L rigid hoses slightly too short in order to make some 2L rigid hoses, and these work fine with normal pins as well as axle pins.

[5427] Curved panel 1L x 3L x 9L in yellow [42531] Wheel arch 2l x 3l x 9L in yellow [60483] Beam 1L x 1L x 2L with axle hole in yellow [?????] Comma panel 1L x 2L x 5L in yellow [5404] Slope 1L x 2P x 2L in yellow [5093] Slope Curved with Stud Notch Right 2L x 2L x 1B in yellow [2395] Panel #9 1L x 2L x 3L in yellow [2403] Panel #10 1L x 2L x 3L in yellow [32580] flex axle 7L in yellow

I was thinking of wanting lego to make a 2L fric pin but with a stud on one end (and NO stopper) but I think a stud with a 1L bar under it would be even more useful because it would work with: friction pins frictionless pins friction axle pins frictionless axle pins pin block connectors (before lego made the pins have square holes 😡) studs with bar holes any part with an axlehole *WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO* and so much more. But the bar would have to be like 1mm shorter than 1L because axle pins are funny, so it would not sit fllush with their barholes.

Not sure how this relates to this set, but the 42172 mclaren P1's gearbox worked quite differently to previous lego car gearboxes. I wonder why they didnt use the orange changeover drum in this set instead of the medium azure one

some recolors, nothing really useful

I wonder if we will get the other panels in inverted form as well as more gearbox speeds in future

ugh same 3+R gearbox

Nice find

Ok lego have upped their game here. good job. Probably because they knew what we wanted as well as what CADA were doing. 🙂 Gearbox is awsome New parts prints and recolors is awesome I'm getting both F1 cars and the ducatti! ;DDDDDDDDDD

I recon the F1 cars and the ducatti for 2025 will get recolored (probably black) #7 connectors

The headrest is just a 3x3 T beam and then 2 comma panels (89679) I now see the 2x5 new panels, totally pointless IMO because we have 89679 as well as the 3L version of 89679

Looks good so far. Not sure where these new 2x5 panels are. Tires are same size but at least printed, probably still no gearbox and paddle shifter but we will see about the 42206 red bull FI set. The new parts are cool 🙂

PLEASE PLEASE @The Lego Group give this a 6 speed gearbox and I pinkie promise ill buy it Otherwise I would only build this out of parts that I already own (unless it has new functional elements maybe) Because I already have the yamaha and do I really need another 2 wheel hubs, front forks, disc brake large, wheels and tyres? I can't think of a reason.

hmm ok, I could only add these mods to my modded chassis if I had a digital model (fairly easy) OR instructions (hard)

link please

Yeah, if companies made more 3rd party rims in any size we like we could make any scale vehicles in technic. but I can't find any companies that would do that, and I dont want to get into 3d printing.
