technic_addict Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 excellent price in Canada @$399.99 considering the exchange rate. Quote
mocbuild101 Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) $599 = $0.17 per part = way too expensive = not buying... (yet) Edited June 1, 2018 by mocbuild101 Quote
valenciaeric Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) If every member is going to post if they bought it or not, the thread could easily reach 200 pages by lunchtime with no actual useful information..... Edited June 1, 2018 by valenciaeric Quote

You've got a point there... Just now, LvdH said: Wait a few months and it will be much cheaper. It will still be expensive though... Edited June 1, 2018 by mocbuild101 Quote
schraubedrin Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 I'm really curious for Jims review. I want to see how they realized the geneva mechanism to drive the second gear selector. Quote
schraubedrin Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 That's awesome What's the best source for the current activities of @Jim, @Sariel, and the rest of the gang in Billund? Can we expect more to come? Quote

Gang → 6. Gang → 7. Gang → 8. Gang → 5. Gang → 2. Gang → 3. Gang → 4. Gang." Translation : Gang = gear this sounds not promising if the builder has built it correctly.... @Didumos69, i already see your errata on the horizon ;) Edited June 1, 2018 by Kumbbl Quote

Remember the Porsche which has a wrong gear sequence when build correctly with the BI... anyway: we will see after sariel has finished his live build... Edited June 1, 2018 by Kumbbl Quote

I remember it, that's why I believe that instruction creator was especially careful in this particular aspect. Edited June 1, 2018 by ibessonov spelling Quote
