Technic 42058 Review
Ngoc Nguyen replied to Richard Dower's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
LOL the way it failed to jump off the ramp is pathetic -

Because the front wheel retract to the nose of the jet, and the belly doors are behind it. -

2017 - The recoloring awakens? -

Then TLG says, let's screw the fans and recolor not just 5L axle with stop, but also the new pin hole with axle, into reddish brown.. Because reddish brown blends best into models! -

TLG heard you guys don't like recoloring, so TLG brings you pin hole with pin recolored into not just one, but two different colors -

The Jet does have elevators. You can see in this pic that both black triangular panels go down. What it lacks are ailerons. -

It's Markus we're talking about, ofc it's without flaw. -

I'd let my dream go wild and wish that in the jet, the propeller + the upper doors + the belly doors simultaneously, because that's the way the F 35 works. -

Four wheel steering using liftarms, no gear rack: Soo, pin hole with pin in LBG in the jet, but in DBG in the ocean explorer. Let the rage of recoloring begins. -

Since the hull can be opened manually, I guess there's another wheel rim inside it to serve as the front stabilizer. On another note, it seems like the jet has rudders, elevators, but no ailerons. Is it realistic for jets like this to not have ailerons? -

Sorry I meant pin hole with pin recolored into LBG. The same as what you said earlier. -

Thanks. That sounds more reasonable than the idea of pin with vertical pin hole. -

I think it's the norm now that Technic models will be panel-heavy. -

Observations: - The tail has MK, so it's from Markus. - Any jet enthusiast can enlighten me on what that motorized wheel rim is? - It looks way cooler than the prelim image. - The B model has two fans, but none is visible in the A model. So there must be an engine compartment with openable lid in the A model. - No seat ejection. - Battery box on the bottom, at the middle of the jet. - The two tail rudders are linked via tow ball liftarms. - There are two black 20z gears serving as knobs. One for front wheel steering, no idea what the other one is for. Probably rudder steering. - Only 2 motorized functions. The changeover catch switch directions. I think this will be the norm for Technic models from now on. - The front wheel is BOTH steerable and retractable. This thing's new. - Pin hole with pin got recolored into LBG - Pin hole with 1 axle recolored into reddish brown, near the flap. -

I think it's bumpy because the L motors vibrate a lot when in action. From this perspective it makes more sense to use the M motors. -

What's even more unusual is that, the BMW bike B model is not a licensed model, not even a real vehicle, yet it has the BMW logo on it. Even more, that logo is on a sticker for the B-model only. So I really wonder how TLG persuaded BMW to have the BMW logo on the B model -

Yes, but the set we're talking about is a truck. And the Xerion, supposedly designed by MJ / Olav / both has a plate with "OK" too. -

That sounds like Michael Jeppesen (designer of Xerion) -

Then Lego pull a 42051 stunt, announcing that the telescopic loader won't be released
