I preferred the earlier version shown on Cada catalogue last year. The bonnet was made with technic panels and not all those system bricks.

Anyone know when that orange AMG GT3 set is out, if it had over 5k pieces I hope it has a gearbox

[efferman]

As far as i know it will released at Christmas time, has 5500 pieces and a 7+n+r sequential Gearbox.

Will it be more expensive than the claas harvester? 

[Tonzy]

So we have speedchampion and mid size technic audi r8 from cada, a big 1:8 model has to be coming soon

Given some of the comments about their gears, that may not be a good thing!

Maybe there are new Gears.

I would not be so sure about this. I bought the Assassin (McLaren P1 at 1:10 scale) a year ago. This model has a complex 7+N+R gearbox. It works like a charm, even in first gear.

I saw a huge improvement in quality since the 488 pista.

Yeah, i have also the assassin, it works ok after a while of sitting on a desk collecting dust:).

Hi, i've recently bought Cada RUF GT (C63006W). I already knew from the reviews that this masterpiece has one design weakness - the unpropotional and ugly seats. In my view it looked bad, so I tried to make them look little better. I am not designer but I am satisfied with the result, so I share it with you, if somebody else will be interested. Additional parts needed.

Lmao, Lego is so doomed in the next 10-20 years. You just can't compete with China - it's crazy how much more is on offer with this set compared to the UCS cars...

Well, there may be nice functions, but their implementation quality seems questionable. That suspension looks awfully weak and bendy in the review video.. The adjustable springs (not the ride height) looks interesting though.

I really like the fender parts on this one, this is nice way of making them! The bodywork around them can be built much nicer than on Lego models. Not sure why Lego has not yet arrived to this simple design for technic, when they are doing similarly for Icons.

[thekoRngear]

TBH, that kind of super strong shocks should be used inside/in the middle of the suspenstion control arms. Howevr, Cada is ambitious, Lego is tired

In case you don't receive newsletters, here is an interesting promo:

Just add both items to your cart (car and tires).

There was already an announcement here on August 7. Judging by the slides on lepinboard.de, this is a regular Chinese supercar of 1:8 scale - even the suspension height is not adjustable. The only advantages are the license and the printed parts.

[Auroralampinen]

Here is new cada set:).

[R0Sch]

Yey! So the Lotus is 1:8 after all, even though the price is pretty hefty for a non-motorized hypercar. I will probably get it second hand then.

I received the BYD last week but haven't had time to open and build it. Now I only need the Mazda RX-7 to put on those nice Goodyear tires. ;)

[Auroralampinen]

Here is speed build for the lotus:).

That is one slick video. I like it - shows you what is in there without spoiling the build process. 

The colour is appealing, but 1:8s have lost their appeal to me now, and Ninjago city is taking up all my display room...

Hey,

I've added HOG steering and tail lights to "CaDA C61016 Porsche 919 Hybrid Sports-Car", if anyone's interested.
