Akbalder Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 It seems that the box of the set won't have a back explaining the functions. It will have a front on each side. Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted January 30, 2022 Author Posted January 30, 2022 The box design is really creative and cool to me!! Quote
Akbalder Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 On the side of the box, the shape of the tracks seems different. Is it just an optical illusion? Quote

Jundis Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 Look at the side mounted panels 5/6: I guess it is the first set where you have to put a sticker on both sides of a panel :D Quote

I know a guy who does that kind of thing for past C+ sets As the side of the box indicates, this set comes with two L motors.

I think the statement "C+ sets so far have their own unique motor combinations" might be true. Also, since it has only 2 XL motors, I think both of them will be used for drive. That means the transformation effect is most likely driven by gravity or springs. According to box side this set has 2 L motor. Edited January 30, 2022 by msk6003 Quote

Zerobricks Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 I think this will be a good part donour, lots of tracks, rubber elements and 32 pulley wheels! Quote
R0Sch Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 Seems there are no shock absorbers in this set and the frame is rigid. The pulley wheels can pivot in pairs. Quote
R0Sch Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 New high resolution images and to my surprise there are shock absorbers after all.https://www.brickmerge.de/img/sets/l/LEGO_42140_WEB_SEC03_NOBG.jpghttps://www.brickmerge.de/img/sets/l/LEGO_42140_Box1_v39.jpg https://www.brickmerge.de/img/sets/l/LEGO_42140_Box5_v39.jpghttps://www.brickmerge.de/img/sets/l/LEGO_42140.jpg Quote

I am pretty sure they are part of the bistable switching mechanism, they make sure that the one of the sides pops out. Quote

Seems like only the front cabin part flips. The rear part with battery box and motors is fixed to the chassis with tracks. *Edit: Zerobricks was faster :D Edited January 31, 2022 by Jundis Quote
howitzer Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 I'm probably not going to buy this, but I'm curious to see how it works and performs. Gotta see the reviews when they come out. Quote

Quite a strange place to introduce a new part though, as there's no functional value and aesthetic value is minimal. But maybe the new parts are required for some other set later this year, such as the Ferrari - similar to the large sprockets which were first released with 42095 but really intended for 42100. Quote
Frequenzberater Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) I think I have spotted a rubberband loaded linkage system: Edited January 31, 2022 by Frequenzberater Quote
LvdH Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 That's definitely a 1x2 version of the 2x3 extension panel. Quote
allanp Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 Seems like a nice little sprung loaded over centre mechanism for the cab switching. Hopefully the wheels on the cab just push the cab past centre and the springs will then take over, keeping the little wheels lifted off the ground. And do we have a new gear, or just a new red colour for existing gears? Quote

Do you mean these Red gears between the motor and rear sprocket? They have 2 studs rang between centers of axles, so existing pars are: 16+16 (then, we will mix them with "clutch" ones , plus, they look different-sized, the motorized gear looks smaller a bit) 12+20 (a weird recolor, plus the photo shows them as straight rectangular gears, not rounded bewel ones) 8+24 (it wont work, since 24-teeth gear will be jammed by LBG liftarms) Some other pair of straight gears, possibly of different size, where the biggest one fits the 3-stud space...

Saberwing40k Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 Yay. Yet another Technic set that isn't Technic, but Racers. C'mon Lego, just reintroduce Racers if you're this committed to it, and let Technic be Technic. Also, this set is probably going to be way overpriced, like almost every other control+ set. At least there do seem to be some interesting new parts and recolors. Like, those Red gears. What is up with that? This seems like stock photos, so it can't be a prototype thing, and it seems weird to have red gears given the potential to confuse them with clutch 16z gears. The 1x1 panel extenders are kind of interesting, especially for adding striping. Quote
