Studded Technic bricks are part of the Technic line-up, so in my opinion we should allow them. I wish Lego would use them some more in Technic sets, not just in giant Star Wars sets.

If we follow this direction, Lego should absolutely stop producing cars, since they create a lot more misery on a lot of people on a daily basis. Polution, accidents, deaths, etc. I came out of my dark age around 2010, 2011 and was blessed with sets like 8258, 8110, 8070 (a car, yes, but with functions and playability). I find that kind of balance between pricing, interesting model, functionality and looks only once every five years orso. Most recent purchase was 42145 - Airbus helicopter that has that kind of balance. For me, the balance is completely gone. Pricing is insane, large models with way to many pieces, 75% of the sets is a car. I'm disappointed, but the only thing you can do is stop buying sets.

Nice job man, good to see you are still going forward with this build. Getting some inspiration to continue my own.

Link to LEGO pictures: https://www.lego.com/nl-nl/product/mclaren-p1-42172 I think it looks really nice. But €450 is a lot of money, and not what I want to spend on a lego set... Also, the amount of pieces keeps increasing, and I'm not happy with that. This one has 1000 pieces more than the Porsche 42056, and I own that one, and it almost feels like a job building it.

Can you fit two pistons on one cam? To create a V-shaped engine?

Hmm, didn't think of production limitations. Makes sense.

I have a question about 3x19 frame: I was wondering why the center holes in the middle aren't in the length orientation - like the center holes on the outside? This would made it possible to have an axle run through the entire length of the frame. Seems to me that would be a very useful function of such a frame...

Yeah, I was wondering this too

It's the new Lego quality control: the first buyers and reviewers.

This is a request for those MOC magicians out there: please build a Testarossa out of this. (and other iconic Ferrari's) I haven't be tempted to buy a Lego Technic set lately, but somehow this ugly beast is growing on me. But there's no way I will buy it for € 400... Come on.

That's the problem with formula 1. Cars are changed almost every race. Hope TLG learns from this... Are they going to change it again when a sponsor retreats? And why would TLG care about that anyway. They made a product, it's done. Or would this be in the contract? Seems unlikely...

Philo, I owe you a beer. Thanks it works. Also thanks for making the part. Turns out AppData map is hidden, and can be accessed through %AppData% in explorer.

I've tried to copy the file, but I don't have the CustomParts folder. And I'm tired, so somehow it's not working. What steps do I need to follow?

Oh, that's neat. Will have to try that. Are there also official updates, or would I have to wait for a loooong time.

Is there any indication when new (technic) parts will arrive in Stud.io? I'm waiting for "Shell 5x1x2 w/ cross" 80286 from 42132.
