Mmm, I like they started making these flip-flap altrenating pinholes at the panels too. It makes them even more versatle! -
Possibly, otherwise we would call them recolored Corvette?
-
As for the parts and motobike, I belive (abd hope) to see these new panels, combine with old ones in the plastic "schell" of coming UCS(?) Motorcycle.
-
Usually they are used to occupe some pinholes to prevent of their use when attaching some subassembly with a chance of incorrect offset. "hey, should it be 3 or 4 studs forward to.. Oh no!"
-
So, a plan for the next Technic Challenge is ready? Honestly, I would love to see something like that, maybe with some gears ratio experiments.
-
Fordsche? I don't think TLG will dare to officially build such an abomination made of licenses sets. Only for some fun purposes like "hey, previously we pulled the Volvo dumpster, now let's run 4-motors powered pull-back". Hmm.. Just one more second of humor - does it should be crazy to build something really huge with a hundred of pullback motors with these launch levers to run all of them at once?
-
He told not so much about it, only "well it is just ordinary 1/2 pin but now in Red, which I guess might be found in System sets but never before in Technic". So, he didn't pay attention on it. I beleive we should wait more reviews from ever deeper-techinicaled guys))
-
And first time they are used at a single axle!
-
Possibly it may be enought to have frictionless steering arms with offseted pivots, e.g. self-set/allign steering, so it will always try to run straight forward.
-
These pars are made of softer ABS and are are kind of flexible. Transparent material is rigid and is not flexible, so these panels will crack and broke too fast. Even at the normal models, not pullback.
-
Wow! Being Russian speaker, I need to give here some explanation: The ratchet is made of two liftarms: rubber 2L part-sprunged gray liftarm at the bottom (the ratchet itself), and red double-bent liftarm which is the lock for the ratchet. When it lowered, it moves the ratched to the "drive axle" and prevents its forward-rolling, only pullback reversing "charging". When it raised, it unlocks the ratchet disengaging it from the drive axle, so it starts moving the car.

Ahh, my bad, I'm so sorry! Well, as Sariel is in Poland, his review may appear in Sunday, or even Monday (Vietnam time) if issued late evening of his Sunday...
-
Well, as I remember it should be on the 5th of Dec, so tomorrow?
-
Sorry, it has not a gear+ratchet but someting diffrerent? So far I see only red 3x7 bent liftarm which "holds" someting and should be risen by pressing the lever at the opposite side. Does it have some, maybe 1L-width wheel with a tire which rubs this lever and can't spin?
-
Plus to that, the front wheels are made of wide (old) tires and rims, and located too outward and close to fenders, so they could steer with only virtual pivot trapeze geometry. Which I higlly doubt is placed here.
-
Ohh, I have missed it))
-
Maybe a crazy guess but again, compiling all the parts in the given scale and inspecting the photos, I found two pullback motors here (their DBG traversal cylinders are barely visible between the lime rear bumper and black 13L beam with exhaust pipes. Taking the odd width of the vehicle, the motors should have 1L gap inbetween where some gear with a ratchet is placed.

I think it is "classic" color codding - 3/7/11 axles are in gray, 5/9 in yellow, or vise versa. Concidering its low-age rate, it has all "reuired" simplifications, like color codding for axles. -
Thssss, they may listen and then will release paid Control+ application with no necessity to use any hubs...
-
Do not want to start unwanted discussion but one of competitor brands makes nearly all Technic sets with pullback motors. Imagine a construction crane truck, or excauator, or something else even less relevant - all with pullback feature. I want to belive, it is not a common-global trend...
-
It, and Porshe pullbacks have noticeble forward incline, I think the front wheels are shfter upperward at 0.5 stud. At least, the gap between wheels in front and rear looks different and too small at front to be achived with non-fractional offset.

With the greatest sadness... Lockable pull-back motor (WHY???) No steering. I still believed that I was mistaken by seeing the "wide" tires at the front wheels in the preliminary photos (which will be impossible to steer) but now I see that are... Ugly lowered headlights... Well, now I'm going back to my version and will make it with steering and V8. How damn Mustang may have something except V8 block?
-
Damn, it really has NEW PANELS! I tried to build it using the existing ones and never realized how they managed to use them.. Now I see, such cheaters
-
Me too, it looks quite Mad Max-ish style, by the way. Only needs some tall poles at the rear. A kind of apocalyptic bug-road, for me
