    Megalodon has pink gum and 1 panel #22 for the tail and 3 pairs of #3 & #4 panels in what I think is Medium Blue (42066 color). El Toro Loco has Corvette orange mudguards at the rear. And both use balloon tires (Cue @Maaboo35 for complaints)

    Also new 3x7 panel in white

    The body uses the same design as the azure car from 42098. There's a 3x11 shell panel (2 holes) on top and a 3x11 flat panel under it. That means no openable doors. Lime Corvette fenders are connected to both sides. @Void_S you got that part right. The front part uses two small panels #21 and #22, and a middle panel. The middle shape is achieved by a pin with pin hole 15100 in the bottom and a #4 or #5 connector on top. The horizontal lines are achieved by the curved slope system piece, so it looks a bit disconnected. I prefer the lime 3 way connectors design by @Void_S. The roof uses 3 3x13 curved panels, like that of the 42098's car. Overall it feels like a lime reskin of 42098's car and nothing extraordinary.

    So I was right. Front fenders are Corvette fenders in white. They are held up through pin holes left and right, and the rear top pin hole. Middle part in the front uses 3x13 curved panel in white. There's a glimpse of a pullback motor in the back.

    Here's a smaller tandem rotor helicopter that may suit your taste. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-70842/nguyengiangoc/42113-b-model-boeing-chinook-ch-47-motorized/ https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-79220/nguyengiangoc/42113-b-model-boeing-chinook-ch-47-manual/

    @kbalage did the comparison better than I did. *cry in plastic bags background

    So if the Volvo of 2022 is the polybag set, there probably wont be another Volvo in the main lineup.
  12. Ngoc Nguyen
    It's near the end of 2021, and the helicopter polybag is still nowhere to be found among the lego vendors.

    So coooool!

    Update: The new DBG ones don't have this problem. They are better aligned.
  15. Ngoc Nguyen
    Yes. I did it here. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-85933/nguyengiangoc/42114-pf-conversion-servo-motor-steer/ For me it is better with PF. I got rid of the sequential gearbox, so the 42114 PF only has 3 motorized functions: driving, steering, and dumping. And as mentioned, I'm just a casual fan who likes to take things out and make them go for a few rides and put them back on shelves, so the PF setup suits my need better. I'm working on it. I'm trying to squeeze 7 L motors, 4 IR receivers, and 2 battery boxes into the things without having to remove or redesign too much.
  16. Ngoc Nguyen
    Yes. I can control it proportionally with normal PF controller.
  17. Ngoc Nguyen
    And funnily enough, the used Servo I bought was slightly broken. It can't return to center automatically, but that turns out to be a blessing, because thanks to that defect it's can be controlled proportionally. So it functions like a high torque L motor.

    The yellow ones in the 42121 have this problem as well. I can't test those in DBG because they have all been built into the Zetros, but I suspect that the DBG ones have that problem as well. It seems to be a mold problem.

    I'm just a casual fan who likes to take things out and make them go for a few rides and put them back on shelves. I'm not really into all the off-road or extreme trials. So even though PU system has its advantages as you said, they don't increase the values of this particular set to 42129 me and don't outweigh the hassles that running the C+ app involves.

    After I put the PF mod into my Zetros, I have two of the 2x3 curve L liftarms left. I'm quite sad to discover that their axle holes don't align. TLG doesn't seem to have solved this problem.
  21. Ngoc Nguyen
    Got my paws on the the 42129 the other day and quickly incorporated the PF mod (Servo steer) into it. I'm very happy with how the set performs and the decision to go for the PF mod instead. It doesn't perform any worse than the standard design, and whenever I want to play with it I can just turn on the switch, pick up the IR controller, and start driving. No need to wait for all the hassles of app config, calibration, update, errors and whatnot.
  22. Ngoc Nguyen
    The Unimog is oversized compared to its function. I think if it was designed in the more recent Technic lineup it would be scaled around the Zetros's wheels instead.

    Crane goes up, crane goes down, that counts as a transformation righttt

    The three Mercedes Benz bros.

    I got my paws on a new 42129 yesterday, and while building it I discovered that the pins in that set are also crooked too. This is so annoying.
