Don't worry. Spams everywhere.
I got the spam from this site too, same AMG stickers. Ugly one.

short review of C64005W Alfa Romeo F1

Pro

- Part quality (visual/haptic), fit
- Level of detail / closeness to the original
- printed slicks!!!
- 1A display model
- good implementation of the (similar to the original - few) functions
- no “color plague” (black pins)
- high-quality packaging
- background information (introduction building instructions), plaque
- no missing parts
- License model, comparably cheap (ca. €100)

Neutral
- dimensions (huge - 66cm long)
- number of stickers (>70)
- building experience (somewhat unspectacular, partly repetitive, overall OK)
- black everywhere (building instructions)
- easy motorization (see YouTube)

Con
- quality of the stickers (horrible) - Accuracy of fit, brilliance (poorly visible)
- not a Ferrari ;)

All in all a top model, I would have happily paid €20 more for better stickers. Nonetheless, an absolute must for every F1 fan. I originally wanted to get it directly from CADA, but then got it from a local retailer in Vienna. Definitely not a beginner model though.

Hey everyone, i have some questions about the C64005W Alfa Romeo F1.

Is there anyone who tried to change the Team livery? I mean had anyone tried to replace all the red/white colored bricks/panels for other colored bricks/panels?

Beside of that, could anyone send me the parts list, so ist can search for different colored pieces?

I have bought the wildcat and made a more or less acurate IO model. https://bricksafe.com/files/efferman/cada-c62006-wildcat-xx/Wildcat XX.io

The Curved Panels are the lego Types, and the dogbones are not the splitted ones, because i don't have the model files. The tires are from the tumbler as placeholder for the original tires.

bugfixes for the Slack in the steering system will probably follow.

I found those tire is same size with TLG's buggy tire which used in offroad buggy and F-150 raptor.

@effermanI was going to post a review of the Arctic Wildcat here. That steering slack is really annoying and makes the model undrivable. The rest was fun to build though.

I didn't buy this model. For construction, I used existing parts from other Cada kits, and took the wheels from an orange Ford F-150. Surprisingly, the model turned out to be quite durable, and thanks to the Ford studs, it also drifted dashingly along the laminate.

The modification of the Steering system is done. till the weekend the instruction and the testbuild should be done. @R0Sch, let me know when you wanna try it without instruction.

I've been busy today building the Katana. It's a decent build but with several bugs, one of which was mentioned above with the CaDA bush not giving clearance to a 16 tooth gear.

I'll do a video like last time, and post soon.

I also have the Citroen rally car waiting for attention.

Thanks for the model file! If the steering system was not such a let-down, I would have bought the model. Even if the slack is fixed, for me the main problem here is that the servo is still not proportional. With a proportional servo and a proportional remote (that Cada does have but as far as I know is not included here), this would be a great little set. Or does this set have the joystick remote included?

Unfortunately not. As far as i know the proportional remote and servo are still prototypes. What i have seen on pictures, please dont ask for the pictures, looks good, but only Cada knows when they come.

A remote joystick with a 6-channel control unit is separately available only from Mould King model M-0019 (about $25). For a servo motor, proportional control is conditional. After using a regular push-button remote control, you need to get used to it and IMHO it’s not always convenient. The block itself for the model also differs from the usual one in dimensions - it is 1 STUD wider and cannot always be easily installed.

We know the advantages of this remote, but please let mouldking out of this thread. This company has made to much errors in relations to the moccers.

The Basic instruction of the steering mod is done. It is not tested yet but feel free to test it.

Is anyone know where can buy Cada special parts? I know cada offical store but there has only few special parts. It lack all kind of frame, panel, T and I beam and especially electronic separator which included in AMG one.(which is what I need one now)

Edited December 14, 20231 yr by msk6003

Electronic separator? Do you mean something like a more advanced version of the brick separator, or something to separate electrically, like a relay or an optocoupler?

I guess he is talking about the electric socket multiplier.

Btw, iam curious if the slow output of the buggy motor will result in a similar speed than the fast output over the knob wheels.

Yes that parts.
And I caculate cada buggy motor's inside/outside output gear ratio is 1.3. Actually slightly bigger like 1.3254532(forget exact number) but still very similar with 1.3.

Do you have any guide as to what extra parts would be required for your "pimped" version?
Or even if it's just basic stuff that we all have, or anything CaDA specific that we might be missing?

not yet, because a extra part list is not worth the work without testing the model, but you should have two 11L and one 9 L perpendicular beams. Also two of them https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2393#T=A but the type with four pins should work too. Everything else is pretty standard or included in the set.

I will finalize the instruction when i have tested the steering mod and the drivetrain without the knob gears.

IMHO, a lot depends on the behavior of the authors - if you puff out your cheeks too much, it’s easy to remain misunderstood. Here is an example of a successful resolution of such a conflict https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-126456/Lnteknik/ferrari-f40-rc-errata-mk/#details

Judging by the news from their website, they themselves suffer from copying.

As mentioned above, I've built the Suzuki Katana from CaDA.

This one was paid for from my affiliate earnings and I have not been asked to post about it, but for transparency's sake and avoidance of doubt I'd probably best also call this a SPONSORED POST.

So... It's an interesting build, but not without its faults!

First the good -

• The parts quality is good. Really good. The only complaint I had from the AMG One was the 5L axles with stop had too much friction, but it seems they changed the mould in the meantime. I genuinely couldn't have wished for a single part in the set to have move or less friction than it did have, and there was not a single missing or broken part.
• The instructions are good. It's different from the AMG One in that previous sections are greyed out, but you get used to that quickly and on a mostly-black build it can actually be quite helpful.
• The look of the set is great - I am a big fan of the front fairings being made from a "cheat part" like the AMG One aerofoil is, because it's otherwise just not possible to achieve the necessary accuracy for a licensed model. LEGO could certainly learn here, for example the BMW could have really used a new part for the winglets.

Then the not-so-good -

• As a motorcycle afficionado, there are some things about the bike that really bother me:
  • It has a v4 fake engine where it should have an inline 4
    • But, you couldn't fit a 4 cylinder engine using proper cylinders, and it would be a shame to use a "half-pin engine" method. A V4 "clack-clacks" about the same as an IL4, once it's behind fairings.
  • The fork angle is raked out like an Orange County Chopper
    • But, it needs to be where it is to clear the leaf-spring radiator at the back and the windscreen at the front, and those are cool features I wouldn't want to delete.
  • The tyres have a really nice tread and rubber compound, but the front tyre and rear tyre are the same width so the back one looks like an escapee from a mountain bike (same as 42036).
    • You can't fit a wider tyre due to the swingarm construction. They really should have tried harder here. 
• As a brick-bike builder, I found several faults in the construction which need fixing so the functions can operate properly. All the fixes can be done using probably 50 cent worth of parts, but it's annoying that the kit is supplied with those bugs
  • I've made a bugfix PDF for that:  https://bricksafe.com/files/A_morti/cada-suzuki-katana/KatanaFixes.pdf
  • I've also illustrated each fault in the YouTube video below.

Overall it was a fun build and will look nice on the shelf (I guess I must remind myself that this is primarily a display model). However I'd have to say that you'd be disappointed if you built it without the bug fixes, because the rear suspension, engine, and gearbox would all be "beinahe gut"*.

Please do take a look at my review video. It also shows the interesting CaDA pieces, each bug fix in detail, and my chin in the final thoughts.

*In case you don't know German, it's a catchphrase from a German LEGO Youtuber along the lines of "nearly good, but mostly bad".

The problem though is if you don't happen to have those $.50 worth of parts, not only will they cost you the initial $.50 but probably $7 to $10 for shipping. Of course you can do what I do when looking for $.50 worth of parts - order a bunch more to make the shipping cost worth while.

Absolutely correct.

Btw, it's about 2x 3*3 T liftarms, a 12t thin bevel gear, a pin hub, a technic bush, and a 2L axle.

Really, really common stuff that anybody who ever broke down any set for spares would have available.

For that your spares stash gets back a metallic silver brake disc and a few other bits.
