The was a little bit of me hoping we would have to assemble to cogs within the reduction hubs......and pop it together

Its good we don't have to...there is probably a lot of lubricantĀ in there to keep everything running smooth under high torque

20% off the other two sets

Thats the kind of starting point i want to see!! Once we get 30% off either this orĀ 42100, i'm all over it!!!

It seems that the Control+ app can only shows the crawler. Do you think that it would work anyway to control any car?

Yes, as long as the same motors are connected in the same ports and are geared similarly (e.g. powering the motor forward doesn't make your car go backwards). It's the same situation as the Batmobile app.

In that case I'm not sure, as in the videos we saw it appears that, on initialisation, the 42099 calibrates its steering to determine the limits and/or the centre.

Ā£179 on ebay - what was the original guesstimate? I seem to think it was 250 euro's? 175 euro's in poland is starting to sound better..

Good nightĀ :wink:

(Thanks for photos)

Few observations:

Works well, however I think it needs some more torque. Ā Going over reasonable obstaclesĀ with 2 wheels is easy enough, i.e. right side or left side. Ā However both front or rear wheels, it will struggle and then motor cut out kicks in.

The most annoying thing is with the app, I keepĀ inadvertently activating one touch mode since its just a swipe left. Ā If you arenā€™tĀ watching your finger placement on the steering, it can happen easily. Ā Wish I could turn it off in settings.

When you do use one touch mode, it takes a while to get the hangĀ ofĀ it, however initially I was confused how it worked due to their description

"Drag a path with your finger in the One-touch screen and watch your model follow it with razor-sharp precision"

I thought you could draw a path and lift you finger off for it to follow the path, not quite, you drag your finger on the screen and it will follow the path as long as you don't run out of screen realestate or lift your finger off the screen.

The second most annoying thing isĀ with the app, once in one touchĀ mode, its just as easy to inadvertently switch back to on screen controls mode with a right swipe.

I swapped the gears that you can see in your last pic (on both axles), now it's a bit slower, but it climbs a lot better.
