Here is my review of the 42005 Monster Truck: http://rebrickable.c...5-monster-truck

WHATT! 6m drop, are you kidding me??? :D

Thanks for the excellent review! Where did you purchase it from? :D

Nice review. Are you going to test all sets with suspension such way?

I hope that LEGO did not sent you 41999:))))))

LEGO sent it to me for free for review as I run a popular online fan site.

Unfortunately not. If they did, I seriously doubt I'd risk it the same way! Congrats on the awesome model btw :)

Thanks for this review! I was thinking about getting this set if the price wasn't too bad and it seems ok, £34.99. It looks as if it has some very useful parts so I

think I'll be getting it! :D

Same here.

There is something that attacts me in this medium-sized set.

If you combine this set, build the chassis from 9398 from existing parts you own, do you have a poor-mans 9398?

(or are these not the right wheels+tires)

Edit: nice review! You have a fun way of writing, and the site keeps getting better and better. Good job on that.

Almost... build the 42005 from 9398 and nothing else The tyres are different and a few panels are missing but very close.

Thanks for the compliment. I try not to be the same as other sites, and just be honest and write what I feel. No matter how embarrassing :)

oh I see! AWESOME!

Where is Australia are you>? :P haha

Very nice review. I liked the drop tests :)

Top review technicmad, very "practical" lol. :-)

I must confess to dropping my sturdier models onto the carpet to see how tough the are.......

Oh and I'm Brisbane too :-)

It's not a poor man's 9398, the wheels are 81.6 x 38R. Great review indeed! Seriously though, you shouldn't drop any kind of lego from 6m!

I'm going to build this just for the fun of it since I have all the parts. When I was a kid my friends and I would build monster trucks with suspension and no steering then make a straight course with ramps to jump. This set brings back memories. :)

I have built this car two months ago (nico's video instruction at youtube). I locked steering for my son. He lauched this car forward at hills to jump. That was fun. Now it stands at my shelve with L motor worm gear at each axle and servo-steering, not finished yet, but crawls good:)

And then add some rc motors to it :D Your son sure would like this ;)

Hahaha for sure, I wonder how many technic fans there are in brissy...?

Back on topic,

I think I will get this little monster truck when it comes out. I just bought a used 9398 for parts so it would be fun to attempt to jam in some power functions and 3rd party tyres to see what it can do....

I'm going to buy it just for its pieces xD

Hey why not submit your review on Lego's site

How could you build it if it hasn't been released to mass public yet? If you type in 42005 in S@H's site it says Sorry, no matches, or something to that effect.

A very nice technic set, with a great review! I'll look forward to the release of this.

I would get this set... if it was £25...

Build the LEGO® Technic Monster Truck with extreme 4-wheel suspension, all-wheel drive, flame detailing and monster-size rubber wheels!

What is lego saying? None of the wheels are driven at all!
