[MOC] Benz-Unimog 4×4 Off-road RV
u118224 replied to dls7223685's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I appreciate the attention to detail. It's like a rolling Cinderella's castle with all the little Easter eggs. Just curious, what does it weigh? -
[REVIEW VIDEO] 42143 Ferrari Daytona SP3 part 1 & 2

I couldn't watch the entire "review" because it was so bad. -
42143 - Ferrari Daytona SP3
u118224 replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I'm a little disappointed by the lack of an interesting function, it's mostly more of the same. I think Lego needs to innovate if they're going to continue the 1/8 supercar series. I also would have liked to have seen a modular bespoke fake engine with realistic looking exhaust. The current v12 engine looks out of place in these cars, I understand why Lego covers them. I still plan on buying the set, it looks great otherwise. -

Technic in Portugal
u118224 posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I'm staying in Portugal for a couple of months and wondered if there were any good retailers for Technic. I'm staying in the Algarve. I'm from the USA and there's really no where to buy new sets at a discount back home. -

LEGO 42129 Zetros VS custom-built LEGO trial trucks
u118224 replied to Sariel's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
The test was instructive and entertaining plus I appreciate all the time and effort that went into creating it. I've build a few off road MOCs designed by others and my comment is that they're very expensive to re-create, especially once you add SBrick, Buwizz, rechargeable batteries, etc. I would certainly take any of the trucks in the video over the Zetros but I doubt their owners would sell them for $300. The flaw in the rear axle has to be addressed, and it needs bigger wheels and tires for sure. I still plan to buy and I will definitely be using it outdoors.- 64 replies

Yes, price seems high compared to 42114 but I still plan to get it. Based on the video reviews it will need aftermarket tires; where's a good place to get them? Also, when will Lego release the parts list for this? -

Not a great photo, but here it is. I did not have 4 or 5 system parts in orange for the rear of the engines, but they’re now on order. -

The biggest single expense was the new dumb battery box, but I wanted it as close as possible to the original. -

Well, I bought the I got the orange wheel rims and t beams, dbg panel 50 and 51 and angled panels last November on Brick Owl. I got the prop blades and dbg panels 1 and 2 from Lego around the same time (had to call them). I just received the aftermarket sticker set from Europe, it took almost 2 months. I bought all the parts separately when they were somewhat reasonably priced.
