Can you fit two pistons on one cam? To create a V-shaped engine?

Hmm, didn't think of production limitations. Makes sense.

I have a question about 3x19 frame: I was wondering why the center holes in the middle aren't in the length orientation - like the center holes on the outside? This would made it possible to have an axle run through the entire length of the frame. Seems to me that would be a very useful function of such a frame...

Yeah, I was wondering this too

It's the new Lego quality control: the first buyers and reviewers.

This is a request for those MOC magicians out there: please build a Testarossa out of this. (and other iconic Ferrari's) I haven't be tempted to buy a Lego Technic set lately, but somehow this ugly beast is growing on me. But there's no way I will buy it for € 400... Come on.

That's the problem with formula 1. Cars are changed almost every race. Hope TLG learns from this... Are they going to change it again when a sponsor retreats? And why would TLG care about that anyway. They made a product, it's done. Or would this be in the contract? Seems unlikely...

Philo, I owe you a beer. Thanks it works. Also thanks for making the part. Turns out AppData map is hidden, and can be accessed through %AppData% in explorer.

I've tried to copy the file, but I don't have the CustomParts folder. And I'm tired, so somehow it's not working. What steps do I need to follow?

Oh, that's neat. Will have to try that. Are there also official updates, or would I have to wait for a loooong time.

Is there any indication when new (technic) parts will arrive in Stud.io? I'm waiting for "Shell 5x1x2 w/ cross" 80286 from 42132.

Somehow this looks very comical. Like someone forgot to design the rear of the car. Well done.

Just what I thought: this set has less than 10 gears and is almost a functional copy of 42000 grand prix racer. Such innovation, many wow. No B-model, no opening parts, just a few new frames and panels. And than the price. €180. What a giant rip-off. I just don't understand Lego Technic anymore. I must be getting old or something. Please, someone explain this to me.

What do I expect from a technic model for € 180? A big detailed engine. With all the cooling, exhausts, turbo's and what not - teach us something about racing engines (include the electrical part too if the 2022 cars still have that) Removable parts - like front wings - teach some design Some actual F1 tires Some great ideas have been mentioned above There are a lot of sets with equal partcount that do more on the functional side This set is just a big pile of panels filled with nothing. I'm not going to buy that. I have a big pile of panels laying around already. Do I need 5 new panel types in 4 different colors? No. Can we not critize Lego anymore? This is expensive and hollow, like a lot of previous sets. I don't like it. I will not buy it. Where are the surprises? I want Lego to design with passion. Surprise us. Teach about technic. They can do this. They have in the past. I want that to return.

Thanks for responding so far. I do try to MOC sometimes, and I like the alternatives some people build from a set. To bad that TLG doesn't provide any B-models anymore. I'm not in a hurry, so let's see where this ends.
