Technic 2021 Set Discussion
Ngoc Nguyen replied to LvdH's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
My plan for Technic 1H: 42116 Skid Steer: Rebuild. I have a spare clamshell bucket from 42043 Arocs B model. 42117 Plane: Rebuild in red. I have a spare pair of red taper panels from 42098 B. Also I'm not fond of the teal color. 42118 & 42119: Not gonna buy. Im not fond of pullbacks. 42120 Hovercraft: Definite buy. I like this set. Hopefully it's not gonna be cancelled because of the potential resemblance to a military rescue boat. 42121 Excavator: Buy or rebuild. I really like this set. I have a string of black tracks and spare buckets from 42055 B already. If it has some new part I'm gonna buy it. 42122 Jeep: Definite buy. I really like this set. I may get a bunch of tyres from bricklink for my 42053s and 42080s. 42123 Senna Mclaren. Definite buy. I really like this set. 42124 C+ Offroad: Not gonna buy. It's just another 42109. I got bored of 42109 after a week. At least 42109 looks cool to me. 42124 doesn't. 42125 Ferrari: Not really sure. Aside from the fact that photos arent available, I dont think it's gonna be any different from any of these cars I already own in terms of both car types and car functions. If it's different then maybe. -
I've just found out there is a version of the real Osprey that kinda resembles the reconstructed version.
-
I finished the reconstructed version I put in the first post. As mentioned above, I found two problems with Seoon-Daddy's battery box. However, they are minor problems and can be fixed quickly. Then I found out a 3rd problem. The rotor doesn't tilt up. This can be due to either: - The battery box doesn't provide enough energy - The motor doesn't have enough torque, I recalled having read somewhere that the PF L motor has slightly less torque than the Control+ L motor - The custom rotor blades are heavier than the official blade.
-
The second problem with the previous design is that in the original setup, the wire for the L motor will go out from the front and will be squeezed by the cockpit subassembly. There is no place to route the wire for the L motor. My solution is that I removed one hole in the brick line and routed the wire from between the switch axle and the red connector.
-
All of the parts for the reconstructed version are here. I found a problem with @Seo-onDaddy's battery box solution. This design pushes the end with the switch (driver's side) slightly away from the pin hole in the panel. If I tried to force the 5.5 axle, the middle section of the design bends slightly forward, and this is not desirable. My fix for this is that I replaced the two 2L thin liftarm with the rubber 2L liftarm with two axle holes.

If it looks complete, then it's complete. -
The parts I ordered to reconstruct a white-red 42113 replica have arrived. I'll do a test build this weekend and report on anything noteworthy. I'm gonna use the PF L motor and Seo-on Daddy's solution for the battery box.

Apparently there are no Speed Champion sets in the leaked catalog. Could it be that miniature cars will be in Technic from now on? -

Yes my 42053s and 42080s are sorely missing it!! -

I might have to disagree. The excavator looks awesome and is the most Technic-ish among the batch. I think the two pull back monster trucks should have the tractor tires as well, instead of balloon tires. -

The Jeep has one 3x7 flat panel as the hood and another one as the roof. There may be another one in the back. -

No I dont think so. The new blade has 3 pin holes. I cant see that in the hovercraft. I think what you're seeing is just the 3x13 curved panel in black. Or maybe it's a new panel like 3x13 flat or 3x7 flat. -

There new panels, and they appear in blue. Then the next supercar is blue! Max D has 3x7 flat panel on the sides. -
