[CADA] CADA General Discussion Topic
brunojj1 replied to Milan's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Oh yeah, how much I love the "critics" from the German Schlaumeiers ... Guess I can afford to have an opinion like a real man . And I never will say something like "sorry for the strong words". Don't give a damn about modern PC. The words "war" and "hate" come out of your mouth actually. I see it from my own perspective. Btw. the effect of a controversy is bringing more people to think about facts and make up their own mind. Wow, what a drama you are creating again! I can't see what I've done wrong again, didn't insult anybody, haven't broken any forum rules. I was keeping calm and reasonable, just contributing to the discussion. Why you mad? So you were just waiting for more reports from the triggered snowflakes in order to shut me down? Just go ahead! I'm done with this kindergarden here anyway. Almost nobody of the veterans from the good old days is waisting his time here anymore for a reason. Neither will I do any longer, having better things to do. Enjoy yourself everybody and bye bye ! -

So why not and what's wrong with it? What are they supposed to do? You forgot to mention Pininfarina and Novitec for Ferrari - I would celebrate it! You know what I see as "a shame" and "using tricks"? I don't know if it's entirely true, but I've heard rumors from trustworthy sources: the Lego company pays something like sevenhundredthousand USD to a company like Ford for an exclusive licensing partnership. That means CaDA will never be able to buy a Ford license. That's how Lord Business works and you have to live with it. -

I'm not about making fun of your English, but anyway I found this quite funny .. Be fruitful and multiply (using CaDA parts)! Good idea to use the divided frames in such a different way! Though I fear the shown bevel gear mesh is not suitable for heavy duty performance. "Porsche" rim is not exactly stemming from a Porsche, it's rather generic, being used in multiple supercars so far. Yesterday we've had such a great time, meeting with all these beautiful people ! Greetings to my buddies @efferman and @T Lego. Discussed physical prototyped parts and even whole cars (!) in front of the public. Everybody was allowed to make pictures or film the stand, touch and play with the displayed models. Btw. who cares about Lego, if almost nobody is allowed to enter their lodge anyway. How do you like this: Markus, the Freakware CEO told me that some Lego representatives shut down a competitors' stand with the help of the authorities before his very eyes a few minutes prior. They definitely had their "presence" on the toy fair... -
42171 Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E Performance
brunojj1 replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Stick any brand to the Lego patch and there we go - it's another moneymaker. Who cares what's inside ... I've seen the real F1 car from season 2020 next to the AMG ONE in their Affalterbach HQ - it was a nice match! Wondering why they didn't ask CaDA to make one, but forgot to ask... -

@Lego Tom Thanks for your insightful honest feedback about this great crane coming from our goodfella @efferman! Most important is the play fun respectively all functions working as intended. You mentioned another plus point earlier: the pins coming sorted in separate bags - a solution I'm advocating for my next set as well . Tire rubber is too soft on recent models - I agree here too. Should we deduct 100$ from your number ? I guess it's a typo? And just for fun: did they include 1 single blue pin somewhere in the spare parts (like they did in the Alfa F1) ? -

Me too, expected something way bigger to be honest. This side mirror under the foreshadow mask looked quite deceptive .. Anyway, the model looks pretty accurate and authentic in this scale ! -

Seriously? Whom did I insult specifically? I didn`t tell anybody to do anything, rather asked them, always starting my sentense by the word PLEASE if you read carefully. If I hurt somebodys "feelings" who has a shelf full of pirated stuff or, on the other end of the spectrum, is full of prejudices against anything "coming from China", I do not apologize. I really have better things to do and will do you guys a favour and leave the forum, at least for a while. Move on and now push the report button whosoever "feels offended" again, enjoy yourself ! Btw. Paul aka Sariel is still my friend . -

Please don't mention this sh!tty brand here ever again. Here are the CV joints which CaDA has in the portfolio. The white pieces are the new heavy duty joints which hopefully will be available in the spares shop asap for your convenience. -

Yes, they have, as well as unique 9x15 frames which I like very much. Those come in one piece btw., not separated. In the AMG we're having only 5x7 and 5x11 because the model was designed years ago. -

[MOC] Ferrari Monza SP1 & SP2
brunojj1 replied to Cardboy's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Sorry for my ignorance, my bad. It looks better in real, I agree! Though I'm disappointed again about the functionality hidden and not presented adequately. The Ferrari V12 engine is still the core of what it is all about, if it makes any sense at all for the buyer to buy, the driver to drive, the player to play with. -
[MOC] Ferrari Monza SP1 & SP2
brunojj1 replied to Cardboy's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
First I wanted to abstain from commenting, primarily because I don't like the real car very much, secondary I don't like your interpretation very much too. On the other hand it's still a Ferrari which can't let me indifferent. So here come my critics (which represent my personal opinion only): I always prefer to see a MOC built from real bricks, rather than purely digital renders. I'm always interested to see some functionality, at least a belly shot, and I'm sure many other visitors of the Technic forum are. It's beneficial first to demonstrate the model in a convincing video, which will then lead to higher instructions sales. The real car shows some elegant curvature all over the body which I'm missing in this replica. It looks rather flat and squarish. Proportions are a bit off. Means the car looks too wide / too short in the wheelbase. Using the Daytona wheels adds to the exaggerated appearance, rim/tire are by nature inacurate and disproportional in their dimensions. The front grill has no actual „grill“ in it. Anyway I appreciate you have done this and I hope to see more from you! This is absolutely not meant to discourage you. Thanks for sharing your work with us ! -

Thank you @kbalage ! I'll try to explain the concept behind the pullback motor one more time: Its primary purpose driving forward: prevent the second motor from passively spinning while only the first is active in slow mode. The secondary purpose: play with spooling up and down - the supposed KERS or launch control simulation. As you said - the idea with the "energy recuperation" is rather conceptual than really functional, but most people love the very idea. Driving backward: here you can see how the second motor is passively being rotated counterwise if only the first is active. If you push both buttons in reverse, you can move the car at decent speed, of course until the pullback motor is being spooled up. You don´t need to go far in reverse anyway, most likely only for a small correction in the parking lot or to get back on track again. Thank you for the balanced review! -

@efferman: Finally, that's good news indeed! I will say a non-supercar model will be refreshing in the portfolio and it's coming not from Eric Trax this time (nothing against Eric's fantastic models)! As I have examined the picture closer - a small note regarding the worm gear: it has the wrong thread, as we've learned recently. Hopefully it will not affect the particular function in your model(?)...
