    I have 42043 and 42030, both of which have straight 6 engines. After putting them on display for a while, I drove them around again. I noticed that the pistons have become so stiff inside the cylinders that they couldn't move one bit at all. I did try some lubricant, but the problem doesn't seem to be dust. It looks like either the pistons have expanded, or the cylinders have contracted. Anyone has this problem?

    While Jim & I & a few others would love to see you post your wish list elsewhere.

    It's officially revealed in the Technic page that Markus only design the A model. The B model is designed by Aurélien Rouffiange.

    Ah okay thanks! It's hard for me to differentiate these blues.

    Then what's the color for the Jet? I thought the Jet has the same color with the Drag Racer, and the Stunt Truck is in different color from the Jet?

    @Gnac Has the color in 42059 appeared before in Technic?

    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?
  11. Ngoc Nguyen
    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!
  12. Ngoc Nguyen
    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?
  18. Ngoc Nguyen
    Sorry I meant pin hole with pin recolored into LBG. The same as what you said earlier.
  19. Ngoc Nguyen
    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.
