42181 VTOL Heavy Cargo Spaceship LT81
kbalage replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Lee was pointing to the model he designed, the 42178 Surface Space Loader, and the "new small beam" should be this one. Although for us it first appeared in 42168, but that's also a 2024 set so it wasn't out yet when this video was recorded back in September 2023. By the way, I saw a bit of confusion about the designer of the VTOL - it is Uwe Wabra. Lee Magpili designed 42178, and Samuel Tacchi was the designer of 42180. And here is my review of this amazingly swoooooshable set: -
42170 Kawasaki Ninja H2R
kbalage replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
@BrickMonkeyMOCs thanks for the detailed explanation, it's easier to understand with pictures :) Your solution is quite clever, it does work and it is fairly easy to implement, although I still think the stepper could have been designed to be more reliable out of the box :) -
It is quite similar to last year's dual-molded tires, like the one on the Ferrari. The nail test leaves a similar mark on both, but the feel is a bit grippier on the slick tires, so it feels a bit more rubbery.

42161 Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica
kbalage replied to R0Sch's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Such a swap can expand the part selection for more common colors, and make rare pieces more available. I prefer this approach rather then introducing a handful of pieces in a brand new color. There are quite a few panels in this set that were not available in orange previously, also the 16L soft axle, and a some rare parts like the axle/pin or pin/pin connector. -
The biggest surprise of the new wave for me so far:

42171 Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E Performance
kbalage replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
@2GodBDGlory it is certainly possible and makes it slightly better, but it won't fix the issue in the first place, and the instructions never tell you to do this, so it's not a solution for an average builder. If you saw my previous video, the manual of 42171 actually shows the steering wheel being rotated while the wheels are centered. -
The only color missing was red. We had windshields for SC sets in the past with 4 or maybe even more colors, like the Corvette or the Lamborghini.

There is white and blue printed on it, the only missing color is red. Stickers add red, white and blue, but as they are transparent, their color is dull, actually blue is worse than the printed version.
