42053 - Volvo EW160E
pgplay replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
definitely L30G, think the wheels on the L40 are to big - but it could just be me maybe: http://cdn-2.psndealer.com/e2/dealersite/images/newvehicles/2013/nv342288_0.jpg -
42053 - Volvo EW160E
pgplay replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
All is great, still want it, but the wheels are an eyesore :( I do realise that Lego doesn't have the right wheels for the Volvo, but these are terrible Why didn't they go all the way and design ones for the Volvo, they could be used for tractors, and so many other vehicles. -
As sad as it may seem, from the lego colour pallet the Medium Azure is the closest to the oryginal colours of the LeMans GT40. The second colour is orange like in the 42048 Race kart The 1966 GT40 was a great car, it would be a nice thing to have in Lego. Only thing - I'm not a collector so after a couple of days I'd be left with a pile of ugly liftarms and panels, which are hard to use in anything other than the set - the colour is an eyesore. Look for funny car on YouTube The frame in the back is in every funny car and 42050 is a funny car. The reason for the frame is for the car not to flip when it accelerates, because it lifts the front wheels when it's accelerating. The car has no need for steering as it's racing in a straight line Americans, they either race in a straight line - drag, quater mile or just keep making a left turn - NASCAR.

Love the set, still don't know if I should buy it or hope for a new set with similar functions -

[TC9] Forklift
pgplay replied to Krall's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Looks cute:) But think I liked the crane better. This model B looks a bit like a forklift that went under a low bridge and didn'tmake it. Really like the A model -
[REVIEW] 42050 - Drag Racer
pgplay replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
The set is quite accurate, it's not ugly/stupid or whatever it was called, it's just purpose build: If you take a look under the shell (and the body is a shell - it lacks sturdiness as unlike a normal car, it's not necessary for the funny car to stay in one piece) of the Funny Car it looks much like what Lego gave us. So you can't blame TLG for how someone designed the original - they recreated it quite well. -
4 Mocs for Christmas :)
pgplay replied to Moyalmas's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I think you should have priorities in life and as you chose the right sets of priorities, four of them to be exact, you should have a serious talk with your family. They have their priorities mixed up, you didn't get the missing pieces for Xmas :) -
[REVIEW] 42050 - Drag Racer
pgplay replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Sorry Paweł, I'm afraid the 42052 B model looks like a GMH - genetically modified hamster, your pets might be scared of what's coming next:-) -
[MOC] Stuff Slayer
pgplay replied to Aliencat's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
couldn't breath I was laughing so hard ROFL anyway, looks great, my wife says looks better than 41999 (she says that lego needs bricks, studs and can't have holes ) like how you put the battery and IR between the spares on the back. -
WeDo 2.0 - The future of PF
pgplay replied to BusterHaus's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I am new to all of this, but a logical explanation of "All future PF will be compatible with the new platform introduced with WeDo 2.0." Is that the PF 2.0 will have new connectors, as were just introduced in WeDo 2.0, you will be able to use the sensors provided in WeDo 2.0 with your PF 2.0 to enhance your Lego Technic experience. It doesn't have to mean that Lego will handicap the PF solutions and make them unplayable, especially since they probably realize that the AFOLs are an important part of their market for the Technic line and the AFOLs build big MOCs that need powerful motors, that the MOCs are what shows what you can build with Lego Technic when you are not limited by the enduser price. Maybe it is made like that on purpose as WeDo is aimed at kids and teaching so it's better if the connector is firmly connected and the User - child can be sure it's correctly connected
