  1. I have tried a setup like this before and found it has a lot of flex and pulley wheels can move in and out a lot. I hope they will have a different part or a better way of controlling all the movement
  2. Looking again at the video and this The video has two engines so I think we will essentially see that with a few "exhaust tubes"
  3. I have over the last few years been building my own 4 wheel drive 4 wheel steer 5 speed manual gear box super car which i hope to post at some point if I'm ever happy with it. if it is going to be 4 wheel drive I can't think that the gear box can be anything more than 4 gears as on the Porsche it takes up allot of space so would need to be double that for about 3/4 more gears then your going to have a fun time getting the drive shafts to the front wheels unless we get some more idle gears. All of this has to sit behind the seats and before the engine and the Porsche had to have that clunky reverse switch in the middle.
  4. If your in the UK John Lewis has dropped the price on the 42069 to £98
  5. Thought I would share this but I apologise if this is the wrong place to put it. If your in the UK John Lewis has dropped the price on the 42069 to £98
  6. +1 to this also i believe the redesign on the 42039 for the curved panel was for future models as much as itself and the mini turntable I do remember getting those wheels on the trike and wondering about its design until the 8880 arrived
  7. I'm with you! Full optimism that we will get all new cool stuff (until mid Feb when the crushing realisation is that we got nothing)
  8. @Ngoc Nguyen That is interesting from your diagram are the pin holes now 5 studs apart or is it still 3? I wonder how they might now limit the rotation if you wish to motorise, if it is free to rotate 360 your going to need some fine motor control / gearing or if it has an internal stop and you use a motor too much torque and your going to bust them or need several clutch gears. I also wonder if we may see a self regulating compressor
  9. As I have not been able too see the new valve a question for some one who has. Is the new axel hole placed in the middle a bit like the white clutch gear so it can be spun in the center or is it replacing the leaver or do we still have a leaver and the axel hole?
  10. Unless it's the 1963 Corvette I'm not interested . Yellow is the Ferrari team racing colour where red is the Italian racing colour. I can't see Lego creating a new colour for the next super car as the Porsche is in stock Lego orange not the lava orange. (so no metallics which makes it hard to make a Mercedes) I don't think we would get orange again and there have been several blue vehicles lately and the Rally car has blue in it as well (so possible white is out too.) Red always possible then would have to be a Ferrari. But then every thing apart from the 8880 has been red and the new rough terrain crane is red Black also a probable also good for American mussel cars but the Mac has a lot of black. Lime Green could be cool but it would have to be a Lamborghini Yellow is in the running but I hope not never been a fan of Lego yellow on large scale unless it was a crane.
  11. I don't suppose anyone has a part list for the 42075 or 42077 a scan from the instructions will do :)
  12. I really like the 42075 I think its got some good features and parts and it's a resonable price and also the rear suspension reminds me of my first Technic set 8845
  13. I would say there is no probably about it a wheel and tire has to cost more then two black pins. Also I suspect there is not much going on under the hovercraft deck.
  14. Sweet and it look like there is at least 4 of them
  15. I don't know if anyone has mentioned this already but is this circled part the frictionless gear part from the 42056?
  16. Hi, I'm a long time lurker but I have to step out of the shadows as I need some help :) The unit I was going to sit my Falcon on is too narrow, I have measured and is not the 54cm needed for a comfortable fit. I do have room to let it overhang on either side so if someone could tell me the area needed for the landing gear fingers crossed I can still display it for a while without having to remodel my house.
