2026 Technic Sets Discussion

[R0Sch]

And what NOT to expect:

The r/ topic is one year old, the set from Lepin. Luckily enough it is ugly and not the 42224. Lego would never print tires for a small car not in 18+ league.

It's a Sembo model, not Lepin and how do you know the LEGO model won't be uglier? Of course TLG won't print the tires or make custom rims at this scale (even though at 150$ it would be natural), that's why I showed what not to expect. Maybe you didn't notice there are no off-colored pins and axles on the Sembo kit either.

What exactly are synchronized air jacks?

Could be an adjustable ride height feature done with some linkages or gears, best case pneumatics. Although I highly doubt the latter at this price point.

On the actual car they're pistons mounted to the underside of the car that lift all 4 wheels off the ground when air is applied, then retract when air pressure is removed, it's to make pit stops quicker.  For Lego it's probably linkages.

 

"Accurate firing order" is doubtful to me, 6 cylinder boxers use 120 degree angle crank offsets and every single piston is on its own offset section of the crank, since each pair of opposed cylinders hits TDC at the same time.  Would need new parts designs.

That just sounds like the linkage for the rear wheels in the 42210 Nissan, just without the balls.

Don't think we'll get the Halloween livery
