I highly doubt it... The designers at Lego are working under a completely different set of rules than any of us are... There is no doubt in my mind that they could blow anyone away if they were allowed to step outside of their required limitations, especially since they have the resources at their disposal that the rest of us do not... -
Looking good..
-
His knack for recreating models is impressive, but this probably isn't even 50% close to being built how the actual model is.. He is only working off of the same pic that the rest of us have seen and has no idea what kind of chassis this model is working off of... It is all speculations at this point...
-
Probably a micrphone... It's a pretty rare part.. I think it only came in one set about 10 years ago...
-
I have gone to hundreds of car shows over the years and have yet to see a Corvette or Viper in the "Muscle Car" class to win an award... They are usally in the "Exotic" or "High Performace Sport" class... HERE is a listing of what cars are in what class...
-
The spring built shocks never made it to the public because of "Safety isues" where the springs could fly back and hit a kid in the eye while they were trying to assemble them, so the actual shock as we know it was developed.. At least this is what I was told years ago...
-
This is completey not true at all... The Corvette has nothing in common with any typical "Muscle Car" and neither does the Dodge Viper... Muscle cars are normally heavy sedans(meaning room for 4 people)with big horse power... Corvettes(and Vipers) are 2 seaters engineered from the ground up to compete in circuit and track racing agaisnt the European cars like Ferrari and Porsche... "Muscle Cars" are mostly about high horse power striaght line 1/4 mile racing... The 2015 Corvette ZO6 is in the Supercar group...

You can also get them in the 42039 24 Hour Racecar, but that set is not available yet in most countries...
-
I ordered them from Lego about 4 weeks ago, right before the holiday season cut-off point... Unfortunately Lego isn't taking anymore part orders for a few more weeks... You can get them in the 42038 Arctic Truck... It has 3 new red clutch gears, 1 new driving ring, and 1 new 3L axle connector...
-
I got a new concept using the new 3L driving ring and clutch gears.... Chasssis starts at the 6:47 mark.. I have since made some small modifications...
-
No, it's not Technic, it is a creator set.. Just figured some of you might be interested in it.. I have not seen it yet...I am hoping that it has some new wheels that we can use... I consider myself lucky to have even seen what I got to see...
-
No, nothing yet... There are pics floating around of the new Ferrari F40 though...
-
Track color looks black like the orange arctic vehicle... Can't really tell if anything is new... Pics are kind of small..
-
It has the 2 sets of steerable wheels in the front and I can see at least one set in the rear.. The cab is designed completely different than the 8258... The grill uses some interesting techniques to capture the look of the real thing.. Can't quite make out what the parts are... I meant as far as Flagships that are not RC...
-
I highly doubt that it is RC... There is only one motor being shown... This set is more in the style of the 8258 or 8110... Hopefully it has suspension...
-
I am going to go out on a limb and say that it might have suspension and I only say this because there is a significant distance between the wheels and the wheel arches... Of course I could be completely wrong.. The outriggers look like they are just the manual kind as far as placement downwards, but they do extend out from the sides which could be motorized in some way..
-
Yep.. That is it...
-
Something similar to that... Bingo... Looking again, the arm might be attached between the cab and the dumper... There is space between them...
-
I think the arm is attached on the passenger side of the vehicle, which makes sense... It also has outriggers...
-
It looks exactly like the pic I posted above, but has a red claw arm on it attached somewhere... I can't tell where though... The cab is hiding the mounting point.. Yeah... Like this..
-
It is a dumper, but also has a crane arm with what looks to be a double bucket claw..
-
Looks great man..!
-
Crawler crane is blue with a claw like the 42006.. Benz truck is white and black with a red arm with pheumatics like the unimog... Only appears to be one single motor... Looks like the same size scale as the ones from the 8258... That I don't know..
-
Looks exactly like this...
-
Looks like the same ones.. They could be updated though...
