    Because people would complain that it's too simple, just one motor per function, like they do with the 42100. Whatever option TLG takes, somebody will complain that they should have chosen the opposite.
  2. AVCampos
    OK guys, I'm convinced.

    I don't know if it's really essential, as that hub (which I call "SPIKE" for both 45678 and 51515) can already be programmed on a mobile device to be controlled by a gamepad.
  4. AVCampos
    The L and XL motors have different IDs, allowing the hub they're connected to distinguish between them and regulate voltage/current as required, right? This is a shot in the dark, but what if the performance is limited by the hub, and we'll get on the future a "pro" hub capable of handling the XL's full power?

    That's true, I mistook "RTC" with "BWE". My bad.

    It introduced the banana gear.

    A subtractor mechanism means that, for going straight, only one motor provides power and the other is just dead weight. The advantages are that it is capable of going perfectly straight and the motor for turning can be less powerful than the one for going straight, neither of which is very significant for a remote-controlled model.

    Perhaps the monster trucks' designers weren't aware of the existence of the new tyre. And/or the tyre was first created for the City tractor and the Jeep got it as a last-minute bonus, after the monster trucks were already finalised.

    Isn't the 9397 at around this scale? Or perhaps a bit smaller.
  10. AVCampos
    Do you have any source on that?

    Maybe resetting the network settings turned location on? For some reason, Android requires you have location on to be able to find Bluetooth devices.
  12. AVCampos
    Yes, I'm still interested.

    The Ferrari's suspension is more advanced (independent in the rear), it has a fake cylinder engine, and is bigger with a more detailed body. Having said that, personally, the buggy is on my wishlist whereas the Ferrari isn't.

    Good point regarding the few functions for an animal. How about an animal-themed universal set (it's been a while, too), with a few animal models, each having one or two distinct mechanisms?
  15. AVCampos
    No, most likely it's the "thing" in the 8082.
  16. AVCampos
    I agree. Animals, for example, are a great subject even for Technic, and Grohl has repeatedly demonstrated that with some of his alternates

    How many motors would it it need to move all that weight? And would the total resulting cost be palatable to the mass market?

    Any "universal" Bluetooth controller should work. Amongst those with phone holders, I'd recommend those that stretch to fit the phone in the middle, rather than holding it above: the weight distribution will be much better. For tablets, the iPega 9023 appears to be quite popular. Since I use a phone instead, which as expected is smaller, I have an iPega 9055.

    It does fit... on the upper deck. Maybe the lower deck too, if you remove the roof rack. https://www.newelementary.com/2020/12/lego-technic-review-42122-jeep-wrangler.html

    That reminds me of the "still a better love story than Twilight" meme.

    The Jeep grille is iconic (and even trademarked, if I'm not mistaken). Probably FCA vetoed all brick-built proposals the Technic team came up with.
  23. AVCampos
    It must mean people with early access to it are doing what they should.

    An example of that is the new Defender: while there are two- and four-door versions of the real car, a LEGO rendition of the four-door version wouldn't add much value to the model compared to the 42110 we ended up with (perhaps just more room for the gearbox).
  25. AVCampos
    Some of those functions (like the ride height adjustment, the removable bodywork, the built-in jack and the modular design) have already been implemented in the past, but admittedly not in the same model. Four-door cars aren't usually "cool" enough to make a set. For example, as well-done and full of functionality this is, do you think kids would pester their parents to get them one if they saw it on a shelf?
