For the most part I wouldn't worry about getting scammed. I noticed yesterday he has a high rating. The truck looks awesome. As for quality, it's good, but you can tell it's not Lego. There may be small pieces with small defects. For mine there were a few Technic black pins that were deformed. The instructions are good but you can tell that the building techniques and order or steps can be a bit strange. My car is not yet complete and can already tell it may have an issue with the moving parts. Lego has strict tolerances and if you're off even a tiny bit with this piece going to this piece, it can eventually multiply that and the end, it won't be exact. Final thought goes to the Roller Coaster reproduction. For most people, it didn't work because of tolerance differences. But with all that, I recommend that you buy it, build it, and see for yourself. At the end of the day, you're building a model car or truck. What if Lego never existed, but this item did? Enjoy!

What are you concerns? I can't believe that model uses 3400 parts. The model is kinda ugly...maybe it's the large scale. It's interesting that the seller is from Poland or any place in Europe. I think it's likely the item will be shipped from China w/o a box.

To (almost) close this topic, https://www.morkmodel.com/Mork-023005-Red-equation-Racing-car-p516327.html arrived today. For a total of $40, it's an good deal even if there are some inconsistencies. I'll do a mini review with pictures when I'm finished building it. It looks like they make a mass shipment to Illinois and then send out the individual orders out from there.

I feel ya, thanks all. It's always hard for me to think of the initial design. Once I see an inspiration, I can iterate over it many times over.

This sword? If you could draw a rough sketch that would be helpful.

(I thought I wrote a post about this last night but can't find it) Has anyone tried to create a front wing of an F1 car with the several aerofoils (as they're called) instead of a simple slope? See pictures. Then there's the 2022 spec which is probably easier to do. Here: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/WKaq0X

I hear ya all. I am figuring that the manufacturing process and quality control has greatly improved over the past 5+ years. I could be wrong and eat crow. But I’ll never learn if I don’t try :). I’ll update here when the item arrives from China (or (wherever).

Nice. If I go forward, I'll have the joy of building the Porsche, deconstructing it and building the F1. Thanks for everyone feedback!

I understand about the trust. It may be $40 thrown away (except I'll get my $ back via CC). For sure it looks similar, but they make 4 different constructors and there are differences between them that I can tell. I will look into the alternate Porsche build.

Yes, I mean NON-LEGO models that use LEGO copied parts. If there is a better place to discuss please let me know. Now, I saw https://www.buildingtoystore.com/en/mork-023004-formula-one-williams-f1-fw410-sports-car-model-building-bricks-toy-set-1331.html and I really loved the model (and price). MORK is a clone brand that I've never read about. If someone knows about clone brands, I'm looking for a Formula 1 car. LEGO hasn't done anything half-decent IMO. I've never bought a clone but this may be my first unless I get too many warnings not to do so. Thanks, Asher

Thanks where is a good reference to do this?

Hello, With the PU Remote Control, Technic Large Motor, and the Hub: Is there a way to have the remote's +/- buttons to use variable speed instead of just full speed?

I would say the 2x3x4 cupboard and door http://peeron.com/inv/parts/4534 http://peeron.com/inv/parts/4535 The 2x4x2 is commonly used every year in several sets, but the bigger one only appeared in 2 regulard sets from the 80's and one Dacta set.

I have asked permission to bypass the "10 post" rule in order to mention these auctions that end in 3 days. I don't think it serves the community better by me making 10 random posts just to allow me to do this.

I bought the camper but I wouln't call a 1x2 brick a "table" and a 2x2 plate with center stud a "kitchen". Grumpiness aside, I agree 100% with your instructions observation. The 8880 Super-Car has less pages.
