It looks really cool!

Only one downside to me - including spur type gear will better. Both work and looks.

You can only put those in the middle. You need bevel gears for 90° transmission at the wings.

I know. I ment that too. Considering spur version has less friction than bevel version on parallel connection, I think if use spur type on those middle gear, friction will be decrease and propeller will spin more freely.

And need to remind those spur version is still least x2 more expensive than bevel version currently. Price will decrease if spur version is included on this set.

Here's the seaplane, for UK members who can't use Imgur.

It's really cute! Too bad there's no mirrored version of the prop.

[Jundis]

Really cool little set! Perfect usage of the parts.

@msk6003 Totally agreed. Would at least swap the 20T in tan for the dark azure version of the spur gear.

For a drivetrain with as little intertia as this one, I can assure you that it will make little difference. The props will still stop spinning almost immediately.

The combined friction in the drivetrain (axles, bushes, 90 degree bevels) is going to be much greater than the friction in the 20z/16z pair.

Here's my reverse engineering of it

How did you figure out about the 2x5 panels for the fuselage? They fit exactly.
This set will be a nice parts pack for white connectors that could be considered rare.

And I can confirm that there is little momentum in the drivetrain. Thus propellers will stop immediately if you do not turn the gear.

 

(Unfortunately I cannot show picture as upload to Brickshelf does not work since a few days.)

Not sure if there is anything worth waiting for. The lineup of the whole year is mostly revealed. The only notable mystery is the next 1:8 car, assuming there will be another one, and the flagship, also assuming there will be one. There was no proper flagship in 2021, and the biggest set in 2024 (not counting the 1:8 car) is the MB G77, which may not be considered a proper flagship.

2021 had the CAT D11, so I think you mean 2022.

I'd like to contradict myself: This gear would be better for the looks and easier on the finger to operate then the spur gear:

Well, I thought there would be some difference, but I guess I was too optimistic.

Rear tires still not wider...

Pictures are published for a mistake in the Lego website in the Speed Champions Mclaren 77251 page

And if you want bigger res then open picture in a new window and change last 3 parameters in URL to something like this &quality=100&width=8200&height=8200&dpr=1

It also looks like a 2025 model. They went for the championship car.

If they made them in purple and lime green, they could say it's another collab with Hasbro, call them Constructicons, and post somewhere instructions on how to use the combined parts to build a tiny Devastator.

If that happened I wouldn't be able to hand my money over fast enough :)

They moved the HOG a little further back.

Yeah, good very good point I like the solution, similar to Rexy

For look I would go for the black one with axle hole.

Hard to believe that this is the 20- and 10-year anniversary of 2006 and 2016, two of the most seminal years for Technic.

Obviously I'll reserve judgement until the rest of the set numbers are known, but I think it's safe to say that this theme has fallen a long, long way.
