    An auto gearbox isn’t too hard actually, just it’s very different from what you’d find in a car. One way is to use a differential that shifts gear combinations just like a manual gearbox, but it does so depending on how much torque is required - the more torque needed, the lower the gear goes. It’s quite simple but takes up quite an amount of space. Only thing is, I don’t think the new rotary mechanism would be useful for an auto gearbox with more than two gears.

    Why why not edit the title to say “DO NOT POST LEAKS” so these bellends finally see

    Nah not small enough. I want sets that use the small pneumatics. Plus 8049 was like a million years ago

    @Frequenzberater Technically you could have auto transmission at a really high gear such that pushing the car forward would force the transmission to lower a gear, but then you’re stuck with the problem that you only get a high and low gear, and only get to use the low one when the car’s rolling. In addition the gears wouldn’t change when you push the model uphill, which is the whole schtick of auto transmissions. So, you could have it, but it just wouldn’t function nicely

    Plymouth Prowler lol

    Not true actually! You can use manual transmission without PF and still see the effect it has on the engine. With automatic trans you’d need to hold on to the crankshaft to create the stress in the drivetrain required to change gears.

    Also, still waiting for small sets with pneumatics

    A gross version of an otherwise beautiful Pagani Huayra.

    As cool as that would be, it’s not gonna be that. Automatic transmission is quite bulky, and without PF there’s no need for it. I’m pretty sure it’s been confirmed that there’s no PF in this set. All Lego auto transmissions run on the concept of it being too hard for the motor to operate at a high gear, thereby kicking in a lower and lower gear until the motor can supply enough torque to push the car along. An unpowered model moves because you (not the motor) push it, so the need for transmission effectively goes away.

    On the ends of the rear light bar. Part 15391 I think

    Oh man they’ve nailed the back, it’s BONKERS. I assume those are CLAAS hubs behind the discs.

    I hold exactly that criteria, but I don’t think they did capture it
  13. Bartybum
    Ehhh even with the removed distortion it’s still quite boxy

    Pffft screw valves I want more pistons and pumps in sets. They’re hardly flaunting the new pneumatics at all and it makes me sad. Plus, the new one’s nice but it’s enormous

    @Erik Leppen I think he’s talking about the hood. The designers took all the effort to cover up gaps in the body but left large holes in the hood. It’s different than filling a circular hole with squares.

    From what I’ve seen people aren’t unhappy with the Chiron as a whole, just the weird execution of the front. That’s a fair thing to be unhappy about.
  18. Bartybum
    What do you mean?
  19. Bartybum
    @Maaboo35 I just hope it isn’t some cosmetic trinket.
  20. Bartybum
    Hold up Conveyex pics have been leaked?
  21. Bartybum
    For me the problem is that the loader is so functionally not dense that it seems large and empty, even more so that there’s no engine compartment by the looks of it.
  22. Bartybum
    The leaked image had less colour saturation is all.
  23. Bartybum
    @Didumos69 True that. I really wanna try my hand at the Chiron using mainly flex axles, but I don't have anywhere near enough, nor the time to do so.
  24. Bartybum
    A little comparison I made between the leaks and the real thing from two almost identical angles. All I've done to the leak is go over the main contours of the set exactly to give a good feel for the set's shape. Note: I have no idea whether this is allowed @Jim, since it's a derivative of the leaked photo. If it's not then pls remove versus They got the side curve really well, but you can see the front isn't pointed enough, and the front side ridges are too straight. Flex axles would've worked better here I reckon. That being said, this is just a single photo, and perhaps the front will look better from other angles, so here's hoping.

    I think it’s generally not worth getting into a tizzy over, because y’know, it’s done so it’s easier to find pieces. That being said, what does annoy me is bad colour schemes on sets e.g. the late yours truly 42080.
