    I'm not sure I'd agree on the complexity aspect. Even if you ignore the trailer, the crane alone provides the same number of functions as the Arocs. It's far more complex than the Volvo loader anyhow. I could totally see them charging Zetros prices for a model with RC drive, suspension and manual PU crane + outriggers. Without a trailer it'd totally be possible imo. I think you should add it to the list, especially if the bucket wheel trencher is also there despite having limited appeal. That being said, I think (and hope) we'd sooner see a logging truck with a trailer at a Mack Anthem (49.5mm) scale. Oh man what I would give for a fully manual, pneumatic, 49.5mm scale set of this

    I would assume it's just because of friction. It could be something to do with the tread profile or the track geometry that causes it.

    Gotta say I’m really liking the small $10 sets, they’re great fun

    I don't understand what you mean by this

    So was the 911

    Too bad it’s pendular suspension. Like bloody hell even 9392 had proper double wishbones and none of this lazy pendular shit, and that set was tiny. Easy miss from me

    Not a gloss finish but a metallic one would be just as cool. Granted it is something entirely different so BMW could very well reject it

    They could just anodise a spring
  9. Bartybum
    Actually no I'll retract that. From Sariel's review the rear suspension travel is fine, it's just the sagging front axle that reduces the available travel on the rear axle.

    I completely disagree. This piece begs investigation because it's confusing. It hides away the solution and forces a child to brainstorm ideas about how it could actually work. Furthermore, any child playing with this spring that gives a shit will at some point realise that they can compress the blue spring fairly easily, upon which: "I know how springs work, but this big blue one isn't actually what's causing it to work. I wonder what's going on here". Yes there is, they could be transparent to allow us to see the worm mechanism.

    Actually nah, after watching Sariel's video properly, it looks very flimsy. The sag on the front fork is an instant disqualification for me

    Regardless of improvements, 1:8 cars are shelf queens anyway. They’re terribly unwieldy.

    Gotta say, I’m pretty impressed by it, even if it’s missing the side view mirrors. I’m a fan of the stepper gearbox. The suspension travel could be better on the rear axle though tbh. I’d be really tempted to get it on sale if I was in a position to
  14. Bartybum
    Doubt there’d be space for six gears.

    We're yet to see the remaining 1H sets though, no?

    Hell yeah good job my man, best Lego channel going around
  17. Bartybum
    Damn, this is awesome I know this is a small thing, but I really like the winch to secure the load. I never would've thought of that
  18. Bartybum
    Relax my mans, they'll come
  19. Bartybum
    But... it's numbered 42XXX
  20. Bartybum
    Oh damn I had no idea they were already plastic. I wonder if there's a better way to design them that doesn't have a really thin neck
  21. Bartybum
    You can upload to Imgur, and then just copy the .jpg/.png/whatever file type URL link and it'll automatically embed
  22. Bartybum
    Hell yes, I want this so badly too. Cables would allow for a lot of possibility with functions. It'd be even better if they can accomplish it with plastic cables rather than metal wire, because then it could be cheap
  23. Bartybum
    Ford Mustang would like to know your location

    I wouldn't go as far as to say it's futile - it's definitely possible to make some nice stuff. We see heaps of examples all the time, after all. I just think that such a hardline stance on something being or not being the way to build Technic cars to be a bit... inelegant. But granted, it's only presented as an opinion, if a strong one.
  25. Bartybum
    Different strokes for different folks. On the flip side I much prefer being able to see internal mechanisms working, like suspension, drivetrains, steering, linkages, etc. For me, ideal bodywork is just flex axles that capture the important body lines and proportions.
