Yeah, I saw that moded SA. The reason I'm asking is because I saw Didumos's post in his parts list in his [WIP] Greyhound topic and the price is listed at 20E for a big SA. And it blew my mind. They are insane! So why shouldn't we start making our own SAs. Homemade, DIY SAs.

Guys, maybe I missed it but didn't find here, but some new parts of 42083 arrived at BrickLink:

  • 35186 - 35186.t1.pngTechnic Driving Ring Extension with 8 Teeth Inside and Outside. That has less backslash rather the older one with 4 teeth.   
  • 35188 - 35188.t1.png Technic Changeover Rotary Catch.
  • 35185 - 35185.t1.png Technic, Gear 20 Tooth Double Bevel with Clutch on Both Sides. Finally!!!
  • 35189 - 35189.t1.png Technic, Steering Wheel Hub 3 Pin Holes Round. Holes instead of pins, that dramatically reduce the use scope, but compatible with new wheels (see below).
  • 37383pb01 - 37383pb01.t1.png Wheel 62.3mm D. x 42mm Technic Racing Large with Silver Outline Pattern. Not very useful like the previous one, but works with Braked-hubs (see above).

Interesting, that in interviews they told, it took about half a year to got to this final shape.

What surprised me was the actual size of the part.  It looked so much smaller in the instruction pictures but it is a big as a 20z clutch gear, which I found out when I opened Box 1.

Yes, and it looks like 20T gear (notice the same inner "cross") but with an inclined rim instead of the teeth crown.

Yes, it's a neat solution. The main problem with it is that it creates a ~0.2 stud gap between the two rings. This could be solved by mounting one of the rings out-of-system (0.2 stud higher or lower), for example by inserting 2 plates between the ring and its mounts.

Fortunately, 42082 will provide us with another solution. As I understood it, they used train wheels there.

Check out the others parts I got

This is so cool! "Before-color-coding" era must have been a lot of fun. I have just a few pieces from those times, mainly 3L axles in black.

I have a bag of 3Land 5L axles in Black... I can't find any 7L, sadly... Only appear in one set. 

 

The parts in the top pic are all second hand, the bag on the top left has #43093 and #3749. I am getting in White #32062.

Check out the others parts I got, note the rare White colour on these parts. I have a bunch of Friction and non Friction pins in Black and White.

Interestingly, I noticed yesterday that 3L axles with stud (normally dark tan) are coming in white in Classic set 10712.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think half bushes exist in Black ?

I've got a couple. They were in a castle set or something...

Good stuff... I also got a big lot, brand new, of White Bush and half Bush parts.

They do, but they are super expensive! I was lucky to find two in a bulk dump.

@LvdH Yeah, I think Viking Fortress against the Fanfir Dragon.

Oooh, just noticed... Set 720005 Nexo Knights set has the hard shock absorber in red!

It also has 4 of the 15L beams in Dark Blue, so the price should drop further.

Funny, I am probably one of the few who are dissapointed to see NK discontinued. I always found them to be great parts pack for not so common elements both Technic and System.

I just went through sorting my pins. They need to be cleaned, but I had to sort friction from non friction. 

I have 54 Black friction and 6 non friction. I have 11 White friction and none of the White frictionless pins. 

42056 uses a lot more then 54 pins, so I might have to choose wisely where i use them. 

I want the outer body frame to be all white, but since I lack the pins I will use black where needed. 

I had to use a magnifying glass to see the friction ridges on the pins.

 

I have 26 Black bushes... Should be enough.

Nice find :thumbup: 

I have never thought to look for such things in Nexo Knights 72005 set
