Brave to attempt a mini rotary engine!

[Qukie]

I hope I will find some time this year to catch up with my CADA backlog before purchasing the Mazda 787. The 770-4 is a really complex and difficult build but I hope to finish it soon.

Hello everyone, just finished building for the second time the military crane c61507w ... First time i missed a step in the gearbox so the upper part didn't worked. All done now and it is amazing. Also encountered the problem described above with the upper part rotating almost all the time but i've managed to fix it somehow...

Was wondering about the motorisation since i can't find it anywhere... Will the s059-003 work with this build?

Hi, You need two motors (two L or one L and one M), a servo, a batteriebox and a remote.

[TinkerBrick]

Hi,
I saw the Claas Dominator features a new battery box and motors with connectors/plugs similar to the LEGO Control+/PU ones.
Has anybody checked if the CADA motors are compatible with the LEGO hubs and vice versa?

4 contacts at the CaDA Cables, six on PU

Very nice adaption!

But I am missing the (imho) more iconic green/orange pattern...

Well now we have new pictures of new cada sets in 2025 that red car wheel hubs look really amazing now im again really exited(source facebook) 

Any word on the release dates of the AMG and BYD?

[Arioh]

Guys, who own Cada's c62006w Wildcat, how it runs, how powerful motors are? And how reliable their battery pack? Does model itself robust desgined? I seen in instruction thst there is u-joint between motor and axle... And compared to Lego 42124 does it runing and handling better or worse?

It is quite fast and the steering has a lot of slack when i bought it.

i have overhauled it a bit

 

[Arioh]

Aside slack in steering, model is decent? Motor didnt destroying u-joint?

[efferman]

The build is ok and the u-joint survived the driving test, but i didnt drove a lot.

[Arioh]

Thanks

[Arioh]

Hmmm decisions, decisions... Get that wildcat and have some rc fun, or add some and grab Efferman's military crane (manual version...). It will be gift for me at b-day :)

True. https://mikeshouts.com/cada-18-scale-yangwang-u9-building-set/amp/

[R0Sch]

Pretty great deal for only 1500 Yuan (180 EUR). I'm guessing this price is for the static version only. I think the coolest function is the realistic looking adjustable suspension travel. Printed display plaque is also included, as usual.



P.S. Gotta get this nice little set too. Thanks for the preview @eric trax.

This isn't really a preview. The set has been available for some time. Unfortunately, it went largely unnoticed because distributors haven't received their batches yet. Below is the official video and, a link to the CADA store with more information.

I don't know if I'll record a longer review yet, as I've been a bit busy lately finalizing another CADA set. This one's from a completely new field for me.

310$ for the motorized version.

[Sokolov Edward]

CADA U9 contains 5 servomotors - one for steering control, the rest most likely adjust the suspension height of each wheel. Unfortunately, CADA closed access to the instructions for supercars and we will be able to evaluate the complexity and uniqueness of the design of this model only after the scan of the instructions appears - as happened with the white Mercedes AMG. This Mercedes with an additional pull-back motor also hinted at interesting and unique mechanics, but after the instructions appeared, I assembled it and was disappointed with how everything works, or rather does not work. I hope the U9 will be less of a disappointment. Now, steam generators, lights, adjustable suspension, many functions on micromotors such as roofs that retract into the trunk are in fashion for Chinese supercars on LEGO. But CADA went their own way and found other solutions in the U9 to attract buyers.

I would still call GULY the leader of the Chinese supercar market in 2025, and the best designer model is the blue Reobrix 11010 - Maserati GranTurismo - reviews claim that it is licensed.
