Brunojj1's mind-opener - red supercar - free instructions now available for static version
thekoRngear replied to amorti's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThanks guys for your ENORMOUS helps. @amortiI remember on my way through reading the whole thread, couple of months back, it was discussed the 12t small black gear seemed to be a bit thin. I have a few of Lego ones as spares. Should I use em?

Brunojj1's mind-opener - red supercar - free instructions now available for static version
thekoRngear replied to amorti's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling@amorti @JunkstyleGio finally after two months of painful waiting I finally got my Cada Master C61042. couple a questions for you guys: I saw on some reviewers’ box it says 14+, but on mine and also on another Youtuber’s (Alt Bricks) box it says 6+. Is it Okay? Mine was bought from AliExpress. I guess it does not matter at all. However, curiosity prevails. What are the spare parts list/count? I have to get this list to make sure I did not forget any part to put during the assembly of this ginormous set. I forgot to put 3 small parts on my Lambo Sian. Had I not checked with the spare lists, I prolly would not have noticed it at all. Is there any other thing that I should keep in mind i.e., wiring the motors and batterybox. It is actually my first brickset with motors. should I charge the batterybox before the first operation? How long does it take to fully charge for you guys? are the easy fixes effective enough?

42110 - Land Rover Defender - MODs and Improvements
thekoRngear replied to BrickWild's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingIIRC Twoofive got rid of the problem by completely removing the gearbox and making it a 2 speed one. The 8/24 to 16/16 also had some problems like high friction. Don't sweat too much on it. As some said, the drivetrain of 42110 is notoriously difficult to make it work right. After numerous tryouts I gave up and made my Defender's gearbox a 4 speed one 3 months ago. Works like a charm since then.

thekoRngear replied to Ngoc Nguyen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThat is one massive help. I agree with you that since Lego uses orthogonal so it "looks" to us as if there is no gap. Thanks for your very prompt response. I can now happily resume the rest of this awesome build.

thekoRngear replied to Ngoc Nguyen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling@SiDawg Thnx for your response. I have watched the vid which confirms my building the right section of Sian was right. Now kindly take a look at my post again where I have reuploaded one of the 2 pics again so that anyone can understand it more clearly. Take a look at the Red Marked area in Pic#02. Then I guess you would understand which gap I am talking about.

42115 - Lamborghini Sian FKP 37
thekoRngear replied to Ngoc Nguyen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingFound myself in a bit silly situation- when building the marvelous front/headlight section of my Sian, I have noticed: To the left section of Sian, there is no visible Gap in between the black technic beam and the rounded shape of the white bottom angular headlight bar in the instruction: However, there is a clearly visible gap in between for the right section The end result currently is this: Is it normal, or was there an error in the instructions manual? I think both section should be done similarly. I just do not know which one to follow. It is trivial, but when a model is such detailed, I should care.

Brunojj1's mind-opener - red supercar - free instructions now available for static version
thekoRngear replied to amorti's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingIf you cannot help me then please do not talk like this. I was asking by giving away some details which apparently seemed irrelevant to you. And if it is really is then my apologies. However, the dedicated threads for specific Lego Models also allow people to talk about technical details like delivering or shipping to or from regarding the specific model(s) in this very forum. You should acknowledge the fact that people (who you do not care about wherever they come from) all around the world are really enthusiast about your masterpiece. This thread in particular is created by a member who is also an enthusiast of your creation. I do not know maybe you have had a bad day but again my apologies if my post offended you that much. My country is already mentioned under my profile name lol, but telling someone that they do not care about their country is really disappointing. You do not like my post, report it. Why do I need to know you do not care about my country?

thekoRngear replied to amorti's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingA bit different issue here. Ordered the Cada Master C61042. It was ordered from AliExpress. Can anyone say why is it making such delay on its way from China to Bangladesh? I am asking this because I assume here are people who may have bought this from Ali. Here is the tracking: EV944908805CN. Currently building the Lambo and cannot wait to build this beauty.

[REVIEW] 42125 Technic Ferrari 488 GTE AF Corse #51
thekoRngear replied to mostlytechnic's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingAgreed. With their recent approach towards casual adult builders and not including enough Technical playabilities, it seems that way. However, with little tweaks like adding a working steering it can appeal the younger ones too.

42115 - Lamborghini Sian FKP 37
thekoRngear replied to Ngoc Nguyen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingNo no no. It still exists. I have just opened bag 1’s and found these two have consistency issues. Wish could take the pic a bit better. Mine was ordered on November 19. But so far, the building experience is awesome. This is my first 1:8 Lego supercar.

42115 - Lamborghini Sian FKP 37
thekoRngear replied to Ngoc Nguyen's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingOrdered mine on Nov 19th (Amazon UK, at 239£). Hopefully will receive today at my doorstep. Will start building and see how it turns out. The color issues are not too much big of a deal for me though..the set still offers more positive than that.

thekoRngear replied to amorti's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingA Quick question: the quick and easy fix that Brunojj1 has posted as PDF on YT, those required parts are available within the set, right? Also, how are the fixes, when they are applied?

Torn Between Supercars
thekoRngear replied to thekoRngear's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling@vectormatic, thnks again for sharing the honest thoughts about the "beauty" of the Chiron and Sian. Exactly my thoughts. I just could not come up with any better words. I personally liked the back of the Chiron more than the Sian's. The latter's back design looks confusing to me. Good to see someone came up with more attractive tail light mod ideas in the Sian mods thread. @amorti, that was insanely helpful for making up my mind. I was thinking even if I manage to make the Lego UCS cars a bit more playable by using the pimp up mods like "correcting" the gearbox, adding centre diff, steering, tbh, it will actually feel weird when I hand move such big car lol. For a scale of Defender it is still lotta fun to play around. My point is, if such big cars are to be moved/played around, RCing them is the best approach (Of course, this point can be easily dismissed by anyone). From another point of view, for all the current UCS series, it is best to Just enjoy the build and keep it on the shelves, and, from thereon, if someone wants, they can step up the game further if he has abundance of parts or has the ease of buying them. As for me, who lives in the South-East part of Asia, has just one Technic set (a first in his adulthood), it is better for him to buy and build and eventually create MOC of more technically functional sets over time. And then buy a UCS car once its mods are well documented and priced down. I would rather buy a UCS later, grab the Bruno Supercar now. For those who think a Lego supercar should be prioritized over/prefered to they also are right lol. I will have at least one Lego UCS when it's time. In fact, anyone should at least build one Lego Supercar (particularly the last two ones) just for the sake of enjoying the build when the price (not necessarily) is just right for them (s/he has to be a supercar fan/enthusiast first though).

42110 - Land Rover Defender
thekoRngear replied to 1gor's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingWant an obvious solution? I dont see any other than rebuilding it once in every "few months". To free myself from this predicament, I removed the back gearbox completely and replaced the front one with a simple 4 speed one. "Few months" gone, so far it still works well for me.

Torn Between Supercars
thekoRngear replied to thekoRngear's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingHey, the Chiron is just fine as you mentioned. However, the Sian, despite being not as good looking as the iconic Chiron (again that is subjective, but rationality says so) actually has better suspension, Refined gearbox, and more build time with more challenges. And since I never owned a Supercar before why not grab the Sian? Thats what I thought if I were to choose between the two. @vectormatic thnks for your precious insights and thoughts. Currently (at least) two EB forums members are building the Cada supercar. Lets see how it turns out finally for em. I personally am leaning towards Cada but I understand and respect your not being comfy with China.

Torn Between Supercars
thekoRngear replied to thekoRngear's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI think Cada's releasing a well known MOCer's design is a missed opportunity for Lego. Let me explain it a bit, Lego could have taken a very different approach with their UCS lineup. They could have introduced unique and very powerful motors and a batterybox Exclusive to the Supercar series. I think it could well differentiate the product line to the targeted adult audiences. For past 4/5 years the supercars makers are approaching motors and batteries whereas, Lego is going full force in developing insane drivetrain with highly complex gearbox which in practicality has little to no value. Please dont get enraged who are MOCers and look for new parts questioning the introduction of unique motor parts limiting their uses in diverse set of MOC ideas. The price they could charge would also be justified to some extent. But, my point have the following shortcomings/challenges: 1. The cost of producing/developing such unique motorization. I know Buwizz is a bit expensive. 2. Offsetting other expenditures like marketing etc. I personally think Bugatti is highly resold because once it is built, the appeal is mostly gone for the average Adults. Sure, there are people who would not mind keeping it as a dust gatherer, or would rebuild it once in i.e., 3/6 months (could be more frequent than that). I am not talking about the MOCers here. Now, I think there are average adults who just dont want it sitting idle collecting dust. They want play-ability, and also, they dont want to pay extra penny to buy additional parts, nor do they want to modify it extensively. With no offence, I think these people are at least, not the smallest portion of the targeted adult audiences.
