Maybe talk to @ArtemyZotov directly or watch his video: MAZDA RX-7 VeilSide Fortune

@ArtemyZotov I know for the replacement part for the orange Wave selector. This was not my point.

My question is related to the working mechanism of the lever that command the stepper mechanism. Particulary how the 90 degree rotation is obtained. Could you post a picture of this part of the build ?

Cada no longer publishes instructions for new supercars and has removed instructions from previously released ones from the site. On YouTube, you can find video streams with the assembly of models, including this one. For example, here https://www.youtube.com/@MerlinsSteine/streams. Watch them - maybe you will see what you are interested in. Or buy the instructions from the author.

Top! I founded what I was looking for. I didn't knew about these live videos.

Back to the subject. The stepper doesn't look that compact and I am not sure it can shift up and down. Need to build it to test but I doubt it. I'll see. For now, thanks for the info @Sokolov Edward.

something like this?

 

This could work. Thanks. But what interested me is that the @ArtemyZotov looks like it iis never seen before.

Премьера запланирована на июль/август.

Good afternoon, is there any new information on the release of models from you?

Did anyone buy the RX-7 and fit the Goodyear tires on the rims? Do they have enough clearance for turning and suspension travel?

P.S. There are a couple of new sets on their website including this 1:10 SC63 Lambo that reuses the AMG One air scoup:

Does anyone know if the 9l shock absorbers available in the parts section of the website are the same stiffness as 9398 shock absorbers? All my no name clone ones have springs that are too big and cause the shock to come apart, so I'm looking for something better.

I hope this helps somehow: I have the MouldKing ones from several sets and there are about the same stiffness, if not a little more rigid, but one of them has a manufacturing error which makes it pretty impossible to be compressed.

I remember it being about the almost same strength, I'll check it out after work today. At least it's definitely stronger than the soft version usually used on motorcycles.

You probably mean the 9.5L shock absorbers, because 9L is the new fancy type used in the 1:8 hypercars. To answer your question, yes, the CaDA shocks are just as hard if not a bit harder than the extra hard shocks from 9398. I also bought 4 pcs. because they are way cheaper than used LEGO ones.
And because I'm an engineer, here is a scientific overview I made by measuring the force on a kitchen scale just before reaching end-stop, which is about 15mm of spring travel. Luckily I have all 4 types from LEGO to compare them against CaDA. :D

Thanks, that's really useful info to know, I always assumed those Cada ones are soft..

Thank you! Your measurements are very helpful, I will buy some cada shock absorbers now. Thanks to everyone else who helped out, too.

All I can say is that I'm utterly taken in by the 2022 Goliath dump truck by Cada. All of that model's advantages aside, it features something modern Technic really doesn't and something I really appreciate - integration of System parts in significant numbers for detail building, particularly in the cockpit and bonnet. And funnily enough, they don't even rely on studded Technic beams for connection, as those were relegated to providing structural strength in the trailer base and are hidden entirely. Still, they were also used, showing that large-scale models can really benefit from mixing the building systems in clever ways. A close to perfect model right there, I'd say. Eric Trax is one talended mofo, that's for sure.

As for being good competition, Cada has finally prompted Lego to start making beams with alternating holes, even though people have already expressed interest in that part family like 10 years ago. Good thing Lego are keeping a hand on the pulse when it comes to innovations - since no real competition is the enemy of innovation. It's just like AMD vs Intel - before AMD stepped up their game, Intel got away with making very small, incremental upgrades to their CPUs over like 4 whole generations. We might be dealing with an analogous situation here - strong competition from quality brands that introduce versatile pieces, such as Cobi or Cada might give Lego the much-needed push to adopt these parts sooner and more boldly - or at all, for that matter.

Wow this set has a ton of unique pieces like 7L axle with stop and 4.5L axle 

Holy crap, that’s a bunch of very useful novel parts! So many things I’m missing and would make much sense!

In lime, white...they will probably be used in CLAAS Dominator 370...

Only the Minute 1:12, minute 1:20 and the 4.5studs axle are really new.

I have a question: Does Cada produce any gears in different sizes than Lego?

Recently, I bough cheap "Clementoni mechanics" brand bricks and while most of them are not Lego compatible, gears and axles are. I got gears with 10, 18, 26 and 42 teeth. I'd love to expand my gear ratio options with something higher quality such as Cada.

Not yet. Please be patient.

And another 1:10 LeMans racecar. This time a Ferrari 499P.

As @Auroralampinen wrote. And I also wrote it a little further up on this page.
