This is a very good set to learn about building axle steering and independent suspension system. Very well designed and priced. I bought 2 sets and will make one model to all black (wheel, panel, fairing)

Oh dang how long should i save money to get all this. I want all!!! The worst thing is that when you get the money they are retired lol or out of stock and we ll see jacked up price on ebay

I know this is an old thread, but the link of the instruction doesnt work. I assume its available for sale? I am interested in purchasing the instruction of this magnificent truck. Anyone can direct me to the right place?

Thank you for all kind replies, basically i love all lego type, the only reason we build mostly technic stuff is because my 12 years old has a keen interest in this technical stuff. Maybe he likes to be an engineer when he grows up, who knows :) I personally like modular building and landscaping, I ve seen many wonderful things built as MOCs in this sector. Thanks for the book sugestion, will definitely get into that. Buying sets on sale for bricks inventory is not a bad idea indeed. I realise this is not an overnight learning project. I looked into ebay and found some bulk lego sets for sale for a fraction of its value when new, so that could be a starting point too.

Hello, I am not really new with lego, I am 40 years old but was introduced to lego (not intensively) when I was very young age. Just recently, I have been building more lego sets (mostly technics) and getting more interest in building my own creation. The problem is I dont know where to start to learn. I only follow the instruction without knowing why is a part is put this way or that way. Is there any way i can start learning? I dont even know what a part is called. I went to bricklink and there are thousands of them, and I dont know which parts i should get first. Just realised that lego is not just a simple toy, it has lots of things from the parts and the use of each of the parts to the idea how to put them together. I ve seen many wonderful MOC creations here and i am puzzled on how the designers can choose what parts they need let alone putting back together. So I am hoping again some one can give me direction, in particular which parts do I have to get to begin with, i prefer not to dismantle my built l;ego sets as I love to look at them. I know this maybe wrong as lego is meant to be played not displayed. (watched the lego movie) Thanks in advance

My name is Ivan, I am 40 years old. I was introduced to lego since i was very young but never got a chance to "dig" the true marvel of this "toy" Just in the last 2-3 years me and my son, now 12 years old, started to build few lego sets. The more we build the more we want to explore more possibilities. We ve been building lego sets from instructions for some time as I put above but now we want to learn to get our own build but sometime it is hard where to start. I hope we can get friends here who dont mind to point us to the right direction about learning the mechanism or the system or the right way or simply directing us to the first step to build a piece that we can be proud of and brag to the whole family.
