42213 Ford Bronco SUV

[SNIPE]

it would have made more sense to just have (years ago) a 1L axle with stop and male cv joint, then using axle joiners you can make any length you want from  4L or higher. And just make the female variant a 2L axle , not a 1.5L axle with 0.5L centre stop.

Now we have a load of parts that could just be made from what I just said...

Btw, this set also introduces 1x9 flip-flop beam in red (used on doors).

Where do you see that? I only see 7x3 panel.

Exactly what I said when the Ford GT came out. In fact I have the male part with 1L axle 3d printed at home, and it seems to work fine in terms of spacing. I still don't understand why they made it as a single piece, what's the situation in which making it from parts would not work.. On interesting advantage of building it from parts would be the possibility to make a shaft that has a new CV joint at one end and an old one at the other. I would have needed that once..

Right behind the panel is a beam holding the tiles.

Oh, that's a nice catch!

90% done. I'm still struggling with the exact suspension and steering design.

It is still impressive how you manage to reverse engineer it from a few stock photos.

Awesome work @R0Sch!
Can you share a photo of the underside/provide the file you have so far? I want to take a good look at this one...

Well done! There should be a 7L steering rack and 4L links for the steering system, I think they are behind the axle and the horizontal shared shock is in the front of the axle.

Yes, 4L links are used. I added them now too.

This part is an illegal build, its probably a different build. Nice work everywhere else, thanks!

Edit: Actually- it can be built like that if the dbg pins are pushed out, then the lbg angle connector dropped in, then the dbg pins pushed in. but I don't think thats likely.

Not actually an illegal build, whoopsies.

But i wonder wich suspension type/setup is better. The 8081 independent suspension at the front. And up and down suspension on the back. Or the 42213 independent at the front. And pendular suspension at the rear

[Teo LEGO Technic]

Looks pretty good overall I’d say, I mainly dislike the way the door hinges are designed. Nice tires :)

[Zerobricks]

Any way you can share the Studio file, @R0Sch? Would be appreciated!

What I really hate about this is that the text is likely partly AI generated, then likely used to train further AI models... Marketing is in an AI slop driven spiral of brain rot.

Not to mention no photos of an actual review... Seems like just asking an AI to review a model blindly.

Usually AI works more like statistical tool than inteligence, no matter propaganda... more images from internals would be more than welcome, specially because this IMHO is best small car of 2025 year.

Offroader is still a car...

Here is build video for this:).

That is galaxies behind @kbalage's reviews (even if they tried to use kid...)

I don't think anyone "used a kid" here, it looks like a real fan building video on a small channel run by them. They got lucky, bought the set at a store that put it on the shelves early and were excited to film it, that's all.

Could be...but still I'll wait for your review. Today I was looking for set in local stores  but they told me wait until weekend...
