Quantum Mechanics at work!

I also bought a couple and really wanted to test it out on the ICARUS and BMW DTM which I believe would benefit dramatically from. It is too bad I can't use them until customizable software is available. IMO they should have included some sort of customization option even if only in three modes, how hard would it be to assign two ports to the same function?

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Are you affiliated with the Buwizz company?

Is it on the back? lol I got the paper Dugald just described, but I don't remember if I looked at the back of it.

You got a paper explaining things? That is helpful!

Does a fully charged unit mean the light goes off? I don't remember seeing any clarification what happens when a unit is fully charged.

Congrats on the pay hike!

I didn't think the L motor would be able to compete with the buggy motor, but there you go! Assuming you used V2 IR's? Would you gain any extra speed by using LiPo's instead of battery boxes?

I use three IR (not V2) receivers in the BMW to drive 4 XL motors and a servo. Two XL's on each channel of two IR's and the servo and lights on a separate IR. The car cuts-out at times. When I used two V2 IR's for the 4 XL's there was no issues.

I disagree. This could have easily been avoided and is a cash grab by DHL. They charged $10.50 for a processing fee and $4.25 for a transaction fee. Currently it seems like you can only use it as intended; which is lacking dramatically IMO. All the MOC's I wanted to test won't work because I require multiple ports to be used with same command.

Finally received the package. I haven't had the problems others have reported with updating. The GUI and setup needs a lot of work. Unless I am missing something I don't see how you can put multiple motors to be controlled by same slider or joystick direction. I would like to setup ICARUS or BMW cars which need to have multiple motors on multiple ports.

This product looks very professional and well designed. Although I am not the target market for Lighting and Sound Fx, I love that you have left IR compatibility to use existing Lego controllers. If you had 4 ports instead of 2, I would be very interested in this product. I am sure you will hit your goal.

Did anyone have to pay Duty and taxes on their shipment?

Bruno had 4 XL's in his BMW as well.

I believe I paid around $300 to $350 shipping included from Canadian sellers (excluding Technic parts which I had). I did have to adjust a few parts to used and bought from 5 different stores to get the best price. There are some sellers which are WAY overpriced.

Indeed, it is good they are responding. Although it would make you very happy if they ship out your package out to you, they still haven't shipped out people who supported them in the Early bird. DHL has said since March 13th Shipment information received

Finally applied the stickers and applied the liftarms on the rear wheel fenders.

Not everyone has large minimum buy values. Personally, I would just wait until Bricks and Pieces has it.

Or just buy it on Bricklink for a lot cheaper.

I am sure you will hear the same promises that have been ongoing for several months. If you haven't received an update address email yet, I wouldn't hold your breath to receive it any time soon.

Did you order as part of the Kick starter campaign? I bought the early bird, received update address email over a month ago. Received shipment email over a week ago but it is stick stuck in Slovenia. It is getting frustrating considering the original shipment date was Nov 2016.

Has anyone received a message from DHL about shipping info? I received an email Monday but nothing has happened since. Are all kickstarter campaigns like this?? The following shipment is being sent by Roni Leben from FORTRONIK d.o.o. via DHL Express on 13.03.2017 The estimated transit time is 2 days. It is now 5 days later and all it says is: Monday, March 13, 2017 Location Time Piece 1 Shipment information received LJUBLJANA - SLOVENIA 16:31

Unless you build digitally; you will need to count out all the pieces unfortunately. We can certainly help you with rebrickable and bricklink issues. Adding the quantity is very easy. See picture below. You make a wishlist, add the parts one by one into it. You can also import parts into a parts list or custom parts list directly into rebrickable without using bricklink. You just make a custom list (in my example it is called Palace), you search the part, choose the quantity circled in red, choose the parts or custom list and hit add. I am not sure which method is faster, as I have never had to do this. I think bricklink would be easier to find the parts. Hope this helps!

Indeed I did; and it is so glaringly obvious now! I was getting a little tired near the end of the build last night and had some trouble inserting the flex axles into the tan 3L pins under the roof. I switched to LBG 3L pins and they worked much better. I must say this model handles the wheel well areas much nicer than the BWM did. I never liked the look of the rear wheel wells on the BMW with the three hoses. Hope you don't mind the use of beams, it was an idea Dugald (brother of Lox Lego) suggested for the Mercedes but I thought the BMW would benefit from; so I tried it. To me it looks a lot more realistic now, and I plan to try it on the Mercedes as well on the back wheel wells.

I have the stickers but have decided to post pictures without them for anyone that may be interested in seeing it without them applied. I built the manual version which works flawlessly using two liftarms in the rear of the car. It uses a system which I have not seen before using springs for pressure / return. Overall I am extremely happy with the results and the looks. The build was fairly straight forward if you build MOC's often. I am missing a few small pieces for front lights which will hopefully arrive soon! Thanks Bruno for another beautiful car and Thorsten for well done instructions.
