Huh? the set is not released or leaked yet -
42177 Mercedes G500 4X4
SNIPE replied to SNIPE's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I would say that it should have fully independent suspension with 2 extra hard shocks per wheel because having something like a pendulum axle or a live axle uses up way more space, and this model will probably be jam packed with mechanisms/structures. Yeah, I can't wait until someone motirizes this set *cough cough* @gamayun since his land rover v6 is awesome, this could be even better since we now have more connectors and flip flop beams. Portal hubs wouldnt fit in rims such as 49294 (IIRC) unless you use a spacer but then the scrub radius and the pivot offset would be very weird so maybe it will just use audi or planetary hubs (3468c01) but i really hope it has fake disc brakes too, maybe they can somehow fit a new disc brake part over the planetary hubs/ 3468c01 hubs without having to redesign a new inner half which cant be removed anyhow. -

The supercar is a different set that will also be released this year, (it's a McLaren), this is a secondary set and its quite bit too! :) -
42177 Mercedes G500 4X4
SNIPE posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
So, we now know that the next 4x4 set will be the 42177 MercDees G500 4X4 Releasing August 1st for $250 and the set contains 2891 pieces. This thread is probably going to be quite long so I didnt append it to the '2024 technic set disgussion thread' Here are my speculations as to what it will have: A 4 speed gearbox using the new gearbox parts from set 42159 A fake V8 engine using the new parts from set 42170 Differentials from set 42143 (because its 4x4 :P) Maybe a center differental Working steering with HOG Working suspension Portal hubs or planetary hubs (the real car has portal gear axles) Maybe a winch. maybe not. -----Even better would be:----- 7 speed gearbox, 3 lockable differentials Adjustable ride height Flappy paddle gearbox Fake disc brakes I think the color will be black or neon yellow but it is unconfirmed so far. Go nuts! (And it looks like 2h 2024 will be good!) -
42181 VTOL Heavy Cargo Spaceship LT81
SNIPE replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Ohh, the surface space loader has 1 , I see now :), well, this set is certainly better than 42180 at least. could you do me a favor if possible, and show the 42145 set but with the dune orthcopter blades attached ? I really wanna see that (!badly!). regards, Snipe -
42180 Mars Crew Exploration Rover
SNIPE replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I built a replica of this set ysing the only speedbuild on youtuve at the time, this was on on the 29/2/2024 I didnt add much of the system stuff because I cba and theres too much stuff that isnt functional. But i'll add diffs, steering and suspension on all axles as well as put worm gears on the mechanism which shortens/lenthens the entire vehicle. But then I'm done because im not a fan of this set. -

42145 Airbus Rescue Helicopter MODs and Improvements

Yes, I Wonder if anyone has those new blades as well as this set built so we can test it out. (I opted not to buy the dune orthocopter) -

SNIPE replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I' checked the set inventory on rebrickable and on lego instructions, and this "new small beam" is no where to be seen, but in the press release video he said that the space ship has a new small beam that wehave to find ourselves... There isn't even the new connector that comes in the john deere combine harvester This is the stupidest bunch of 1H sets I have ever seen!! and here is the bar: -
What is your favorite Technic Set and why?
SNIPE replied to Lego Tom's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Probably 42128 because its big but not huge like the 42082 for example but is packed with functions. Keep in mind that im not even a big pneumatics fan, I only used pneumatic components once in a humanoid hand mechanism at 1:1 scale because any other way of actuating the fingers was too big. The set also reminds me of set 8462 which I wanted SO BADLY as a kid but didn't get it, that set was possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen and it looked massive on the product catalogue (nut everything looks bigger when you're a kid) -

well, they sort of did thought it was a little underwhelming, you could make a set out of 2 others sets: https://youtu.be/ULWuYWFPTVc -

SNIPE replied to Polo-Freak's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Yeah, I was thinking radial engine too, but just about any type of engine is possible with these new cams and cranks (as long as you're ok with potentially adding more than one drive shaft)- 4578 replies
