HorcikDesigns Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Let me dream - a gasser? (using the new tires) :D but i am still not sure about the front wheels.. :D Quote
750ACE Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 15x9", 1869 pieces, $199.99. I believe I read VIP members get to buy in August? Fantastic news. Can't wait to see who designs an "ultimate" edition. Quote
darksheep Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 I hope I can get this set online some place , getting stuff in south Africa can be very hard some times Quote
Zerobricks Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Zblj, you just gave me great inpiration... Glad to hear that Quote
aol000xw Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Those hubs, isn't anything odd about the shape? Perhaps there is more to them than it looks at first sight. Quote
Rockbrick Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Those hubs, isn't anything odd about the shape? Perhaps there is more to them than it looks at first sight. Seem gold coloured versions of the 42000 hubs but with one of these attached ? Quote
kamsohal Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 its being released in september for $200.i cant wait to get it.credit for info is sariels facebook page. Quote
darksheep Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Seem gold coloured versions of the 42000 hubs but with one of these attached ? Ye I think that is it , I was taking a close look cause if I can get this set I will try motorize it ! From the pics it looks like it might be a tight fit , might have to remove the interior . Quote
Balrog Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Ye I think that is it , I was taking a close look cause if I can get this set I will try motorize it ! From the pics it looks like it might be a tight fit , might have to remove the interior . You probably have to think about functional steering first Quote
darksheep Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 You probably have to think about functional steering first ye been thinging about that I am sure the modle will have steering so its a matter of using that / altering it Quote
Erik Leppen Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Those tyres look to be perfect, for a lot of things. They are huge, they have a nice profile. I think they would work great on, well, anything really. :D I want them. Right now, if possible :P Rest of the set looks awesome as well by the way. But I don't care about the gold hubs - who needs gold hubs? But I want those tyres. :D Quote
aol000xw Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 That yellow part looksI like it but I fail at see how the hubs match Is it the rear hub sideways? I am not sure If there is a pinhole there and even if that is true, what keeps the hub in place? Just trying to figure how it works. Quote
Zerobricks Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Yeah its the rear hub sideways. The axle 3 with stud goes through it. Edited July 21, 2014 by Zblj Quote
Rockbrick Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) I think its the perspective playing with our minds it does look like a rear hub sideways with the 'kingpin' being one of the holes steering arm attached the other...so it does look like it will have steering after all..... <pure speculation> though probably with an exagerated ackermann geometry ? and the HOG of course may be the rocket exhaust at the back? </pure speculation> Edited July 21, 2014 by Rockbrick Quote
rm8 Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Very nice wheels with brand new thread pattern. Good possibility for Technic designers to develop something new with these new tires. For example dragster or nascar series supercar set. Quote

Quote
peter_m Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Where can it steer? if there's a 2x4 smooth brick right next to the wheel? Good point! I guess that is the same situation as with VW and MINI - looks over functionality. Quote
Rockbrick Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Where can it steer? if there's a 2x4 smooth brick right next to the wheel? I'm not really sure but at first it looked like it didn't and each time I look at it it seems that it could but not very tightly thats for sure or maybe not at all in the end.... Quote
Meatman Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Great looking set. Definitely no steering though. The hubs are fixed into position. Such a pity. Quote
Anio Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 The thing is basically built like this : One connector is missing because not available on LDD. However, there is not steering mechanism here. Note that pin 43093 seems to be back in black color (blue on my pic). Quote
Meatman Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Note that pin 43093 seems to be back in black color (blue on my pic). I think that you are right. This is great because I have been trying to get my hands on some of them for ages, but they are too expensive. Anyone that has a semi large quantity wants a ton of money for them. http://www.bricklink...10&searchSort=P Edited July 21, 2014 by Meatman Quote
jantjeuh Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Damn you Paul, now I have to get those wheels/tires. Edited July 21, 2014 by jantjeuh Quote
SNIPE Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 look like amazing road/racing tires any ideas on the dimensions? Quote
