Aventador2004 Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 This set is really nice. Definitely my favorite set in the last few medium sets. Quote
Rudivdk Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 Maybe I missed, but what about the lifting height? And would my MOD to increase lifting heigh by making a longer (double) rope solution actually work? (Or should I just sit back and wait for the reviews to be published on August 1st? Thats also fine with me) Quote
Jim Posted July 21, 2018 Author Posted July 21, 2018 To be honest; I forgot to measure the lifting height and now I have the B-model assembled Quote

Ngoc Nguyen Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 @Jim Would you review the B model as well? Quote

Ngoc Nguyen Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) Oh wow. So Technic. Such accuracy. Much quality assurance. Edited July 21, 2018 by Ngoc Nguyen Quote
M_longer Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 Very cleverly designed lifiting mechanism, which does not work like real thing, but I still like it. Full review will be posted tomorrow. Also, one of the best looking B models in Technic line in past few years. All pictures are here: https://bricksafe.com/pages/M_longer/reviews/42079# Quote
jorgeopesi Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 I have almost done mine thank you to M_Longer. First of all great look with a few pieces and second I would change some pieces but I don't know yet if it uses them for the B model so a very nice and playable set, must have if you can do it or if you need 4x2 L liftarns .

Ad_Astra Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 Will build this as soon as I have time! Thanks for all the pics to M_Longer Quote
ShowsOn Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 This set is really cute with two nice models. A great first Technic set for my nephew. :) Quote

I am looking at my picture of the chassis and I am probably overlooking the mistake. The mistake is that in the instruction two axle holes are connected at an acute angle, which is impossible Axle holes are connected only at angles whose measures are multiple of 90 degree. Quote
