[MOC] Kamaz 8x8 Arctic truck
nerdsforprez replied to mpj's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Great Build! Wonderful choice at this scale and executed great. I love that front end, looks so beefy and rugged. -
42177 Mercedes G500 4X4
nerdsforprez replied to SNIPE's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
A manual model selected to represent a vehicle known for its off-road capabilities is an interesting choice. Surely a first modification will be to motorize it. I don't mind that it is a manual set, but I hope there are some interesting functions so it pays some homage to the actual thing. Will be paying close attention to this thread as well. I also share others concerns about the neon yellow color. I hope that is not selected. Not only do I think it looks bad, it will limit what the pieces can be used for in the future... -

Nope. Well-played... as in expertly executed. But well-paid is a whole new application! -

Brilliant. Looks are spot on. Great job. -
42170 Kawasaki Ninja H2R
nerdsforprez replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Saw it too. My goodness. Great news. I have been wanting new engine elements for a while. All the sudden, I might be purchasing this set... or at least buying many of these new elements once they become available on B&P.... -

This is my concern as well. I think one would be evaluating a demographic rather than actual building ability..... -

Oh yea. Not correct. There truly is "American" speak (said in negative undertones) -
[TC26] Technic Arctic Contest - Results Topic
nerdsforprez replied to Milan's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Fun to participate in the voting. Great submissions. As always, Thxs @Jim and @Milan for hosting. -
TY @Toastie and others for the responses. The build is near an outlet, but I will have to do some finagling if I wanted to use it. Which I may. I can also add a new part to the build that would be outside of the rest of the build, to cover up a power bank and also make it easily accessible. I have some options. I was also thinking about something like these little light bricks, or something similar. They are popping up everywhere on Temu and Aliexpress. I guess, after reading, you place an axle inside, twist, and it turns on. Anyone have experience with these? Really, I would only need the lights on for display, and not a lot of light, nor would it have to be focused, so this would be an acceptable option.

Anyone have any good recommendations for light systems for your Legos? I know there are many options to choose from, and yes I have done my homework, but what I am looking for is something with a very long battery life, or something with near-infinite power source. I have a long hx of working with different systems, but the problem is that usually my lights are embedded deep into a build. When the battery source wears out I have to disassemble too much to make it worth my while of exchanging the batteries. Something with an alternative PS, or perhaps even external PS would be great. Or the use of watch batteries or something that doesn't really ever need charging....

Solutions for controlling LEGO Light Kits on displays?
nerdsforprez replied to sequoia10's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I will be posting a whole new post, hopefully it will revitalize this post but also add something to it. I have a similar, but also, different question re: Lego lighting solutions -

Future Set Wishes and Speculation
nerdsforprez replied to SheepEater's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Umm.... it literally came with weighted pieces. True, they were all ABS, but the weighted pieces were each around 41 grams. And 24 of them. Thats nearly 1000 grams right there. If by "huge number of large pieces" you mean the truss pieces, you are not correct. If there was any driving up the price because of the weight increase, it was due to the weight blocks. Btw... Even considering the above, I believe it was that expensive. The Daytona set came in at over 6900 grams (and it also was a notoriously bad value) which is less than 1000 grams less than the LR 13000 (6990 vs. 7982 per BL). To put that in perspective that is only the (near exact) difference of the weight pieces only. It is also licensed. I get it has no electronics, but it was a whopping 250$ less than the LR 13000.
