apachaihapachai Posted September 11, 2023 Posted September 11, 2023 (edited) I think everyone agrees that 42160 really lacks an interior. So I decided to make one! It is detachable. So you can ride the model with or without extra 60 gramms of weight. Free Stud.io model at Rebrickable Edited September 11, 2023 by apachaihapachai Quote
Jundis Posted December 25, 2023 Posted December 25, 2023 Just build this model (christmas gift from lovely GF) and I gotta say the first 2 building steps were really great. The structure is rock-solid and spring travel is good, too. I know that Lego technic loves IPs nowadays, but here the IP is completely wasted. The thing that bugs me most is the panel work in Step 3 and 4, which goes from page 88 to 193. With a generic car, this could reduced in half, making the model also a little lighter. Adding to this, without stickers, the car already looks generic :D I counted the first steps for the chassis, which needed 424 pieces. With such a good base, anything could be made on top of it that thing. Maybe I rebuild it. The included pieces are great and I love the new wheels, which give so much possibilities for construction machinery It drives okay-ish, although the physical control and heavy latency doesn't give me the feeling of driving a cool RC and fast Dakar Rally Car, but rather a slow pickup truck of some sort. I never missed the physical control so much than in this model. Lego needs this "universal controller" soo much here. Quote
1gor Posted December 25, 2023 Posted December 25, 2023 (edited) IMHO it has lots of usable parts (excluding PU components in my case); tires are great for front end loaders, hubs are very strong (but have ball joint ) and new short CV joints are blessing (if only I had at least one), new Daytona diffs...

And it's so stupid that it does not immediately stop when I release the throttle, it keeps coasting on for a while, really irritating.. Quote

It's relatively agile model and could be fun to play with, but lack of physical controller is real pain. I'm planning to buy some cheap BT controller and try it with brick controller2, hopefully it will solve this. Quote

That's why there's a separate brake button to stop it immediately Quote

By the time you look at the screen and find the brake button you already hit the wall... Quote
CharlesD Posted March 26, 2024 Posted March 26, 2024 (edited) Hi, I made a couple of alterations/improvments that i would like to share. The Stud.io files are in my Bricksafe - original Buwizz modification - two buwizz3 and 4 L-motors (Cada in my case) - two buwizz3, 4 L-motors and a wider body to have a lower center of gravity and less friction in the drive train. (WIP) I also cleaned up some of the body work to accomodate bigger wheels. Edited March 26, 2024 by CharlesD Quote
New_User Posted June 3, 2024 Posted June 3, 2024 Seems like that 4 L motors managed to rip the axle Quote
CharlesD Posted January 17 Posted January 17 It sure did, carbon fibre dust. I changed the gearing to fix that. Quote
