    Yeah, cranks are easier to turn fast. On the other hand (), you will often need an extra hand to stabilize the model when turning the crank. That is not necessary when turning a knob.

    Actually, if I'm not wrong, both you and @Samolot share the position as public vote winners, both of you with 137 points when votes from the two members with less than 50 posts are taken off.

    Nice choice of set and a good start. Live rear axle seems like a natural improvement. The real star of this set is IMO the front suspension with the anti-sway bar, and I hope to see similar in your build Good luck, I'm curious to see how this develop

    Sounds like a perfect choice of model: studless recreation of recreational vehicle

    I know I'm nitpicking now: I guess they'll fit in steering as well Looks really good, I hope it is comparable to the Defender functionwise.

    Nice, thanks for sharing! Seems to be robust, and easy to adapt to the build. I have not yet tried to make a RC car with transmission, I think I am going to try with this one

    Should we only use parts currently offered by TLG, or can we also use retired parts? What about 3rd party strings, rubber bands etc.?

    That sounds great! About the functionality related to PU rotational sensor (and other sensors?), is the HW ready for that, so only updated SW/firmware is required?

    Thanks for great review! Do you know if it's possible to use all 6 ports simultaneously? I also wonder if functionality other than return to center steering is possible when using PU motors with rotational sensor.

    Thanks for the clarification

    To me this looks like a combined backhoe and cherry picker... or what?

    In Boost dark azur is used, not turquoise, if I'm not wrong. But, yeah, I understand what you mean.

    What about the pullbacks 42026 and 24027? I think they are from 2014 1H. My point is there was no "gap" in numbers between 1H and 2H in 2014.

    Excellent work! This is Technic at its best!

    Well done TLG! Even I am not a motorbike enthusiast, I will for sure get this one. A good 3-in-1 for me; good functions, good looks, good parts

    Totally agree that it's irrelevant for TC18 My only intention was only to point out that even TLG has used this connection. And thanks for an interesting article on brick stress

    Not my intention to reopen the discussion regarding connection between half pins and Tecnic triangles, but in my opinion it must be considered legal. If I remember correctly, the same technique was used at least for the 8868. If the method is used in official models, I guess it's fair to say it's legal. Ok, I realize that the 3/4 pin was introduced in 1995 (three years after the 8868), but I think my point is still valid.

    I am now repeating an idea I posted almost three years ago in another topic. What about a universal set contest? The entry would have to be a universal set inventory and instructions for different models. Perhaps different classes; basic, pneumatic, PF, etc. A good entry in a competion like this, would include only common parts. In other words, anyone with a decent modern Technic collection should be able to replicate the models (perhaps not in the exact colors, but still...).

    I think most kids in the target age range will try it out in water. I can't imagine myself as a kid NOT playing with it in water.

    Thanks a lot for great reviews - as always! Especially I appreciate details and testing of the new diff and hull parts! The catamaran is a positive surprice indeed!

    Manually operated outriggers is one thing, to me totally manual slewing is even worse. On a mobile crane, IMO the core functions are related to operation of the crane itself, including slewing. I am aware of that all the "modern" mobile cranes (42009, 8053, 8421) have only manual slewing, but still... Slewing worked perfectly well on 8460, it shouldn't be to hard to implement in newer models. Perhaps LEGO believes that manual slewing gives better playability, easier to bring the boom to parked position etc.?

    They are even present on the inland glaciers of Greenland. Perhaps they are planning to make a clone series of the old Arctic Action theme...

    I find it for NOK 3472 at lekekassen.no, that is around £295. But it is a Norwegian online store, and I think they only deliver to Norwegian customers.
