Paul B Technic

Thanks for the comments. I started trying to build a fork loader but ended up going this way instead.

Recently I have broken down my second copy of set 42163 and used this to build a MOC, this is a tracked lift and carry crane. The gear behind the cabin is used to control the two stage lift of the crane arm. This has a hook to allow a load to be attached. This was built using only the parts from set 42163. https://paulbtechnic.blogspot.com/2024/02/moc-42163-lift-and-carry-crane.html

Wow, that has an awesome level of detail.

I have just built this set and posted a review of it: https://paulbtechnic.blogspot.com/2024/02/review-lego-technic-42166-neom-mclaren.html

This is a C model, which was designed by MELong (https://rebrickable.com/users/MeLong/mocs/) The LEGO Technic Race Truck 42164 C Model delivers an adrenaline-packed building experience and an exhilarating playtime for enthusiasts of all ages. As a proud owner of this set, I can attest to its ingenuity, attention to detail, and sheer fun factor. Firstly, the building process itself is a joyride. The instructions are clear and concise, guiding you through each step of the assembly with ease. The use of Technic elements adds an extra layer of complexity, perfect for those craving a more intricate build. Once completed, the Race Truck impresses with its sleek design and robust structure. The vibrant colour scheme, featuring a striking combination of grey, black, yellow and blue, immediately catches the eye. But the true magic begins when you put the Race Truck to the test on the imaginary racetrack. Its robust construction ensures durability during play, allowing for high-speed manoeuvres, sharp turns, and thrilling races against other LEGO vehicles. The lever on the rear of the cabin controls the steering which I find to be an interesting method and something I will consider for my future builds. In conclusion, the LEGO Technic Race Truck 42164 C Model offers a thrilling blend of building and play experiences that will captivate LEGO enthusiasts of all ages. Whether you're a seasoned LEGO veteran or a newcomer to the world of Technic, this C model promises hours of exhilarating entertainment that will leave you craving for more adventures on the racetrack. https://paulbtechnic.blogspot.com/2024/02/lego-technic-42164-race-truck-c-model.html

This is next level greatness :)

I have just added a mini review of this to my blog: https://paulbtechnic.blogspot.com/2024/02/lego-technic-off-road-buggy-42164-mini.html

This set might just tempt me to get more in to these types and scale :)

42175 sounds very interesting to me :)

You have done really well to scale this down so much.

That is very cool. I am working on an offroad truck and this has some really good ideas.

You should be very pleased and proud of this, it is simply excellent.

I would love something like the unimog, where you can build and add different attachments. It would be great if TLG sold some of these.

I am 100% not buying this set but I am still keen to read the first review and see how good or bad it really is. The price could be accepted IF it was the perfect set.

I am really keen to see how this works out.

Thank you for the feedback. I have ended up pulling this part to use the parts for another MOC.

You have done really well. Not a set many of us will ever own so you have done well to shrink this down.

I was hoping somebody would do this one. Looks great.

Great start, this looks awesome.

You have done really well to get this down so small.

This is coming along really well.

Very nice.

This is coming along really well. I am not going to join in this challenge but I am really enjoying following the progress of all the builds.

This is one set I really regret selling, I am keen to see how you go with this.
