  1. But it has no differential, so only one of the rear wheels is driven.
  2. Well, one way in which it isn't better is that it doesn't have rubber tyres.
  3. I'm still convinced that TLG doesn't want to produce parts that are meant to rub against each other to create friction and wear over time. The only exception I can think of is the 24T clutch gear, and even that is meant to rub against itself (that sounded way more wrong than I expected) occasionally.
  4. That'd be even better, of course, but I'm not holding my hopes that high.
  5. To me, the best celebration would be a modernised version of a classic set... but I can't decide which one I'd personally prefer.
  6. It's still a voluntary, and therefore non-indicative, thing. For example, I only mark a review set as owned after the respective review comes out.
  7. I noticed that, too. The thing is that nothing prevents you from marking any set, upcoming or not, as "owned".
  8. You don't have to get sets from the current year to be a LEGO Technic fan: there's plenty of stuff from previous years.
  9. The real ones use hydraulics. There's no way TLG would use water due to the risk of spillage, much less oil. What's left is pneumatics, which sag over time (especially with a load as heavy as a 1:8 car) and LAs. In face of this, I'd then definitely pick LAs.
  10. The only word that comes to my mind when reading that is "yikes".
  11. I wouldn't mind a new Car Transporter instead. 42098 went away many years ago already, and since then we got a deluge of stuff to fill a new one (or a reissue) with.
  12. You mean, for example, if the rider applies torque to the pedals while the rear wheel is stuck in sand or mud? In a real bike, the tension the spokes are under takes care of that, but in the LEGO version with LEGO tolerances that may be an issue.
  13. That part will be lovely for multiplexers, pullback motors that don't use the dedicated part, and large helicopter rotors. As a model, the bike doesn't attract me, but the new elements it brings sure are yummy!
