Cool display, I wonder how such a model would have a carry mechanism if it was more than one digit. Maybe just extend the tracks inbetween the 0 and F digits to that it engages the next column but only once every 16 steps because otherwise it would move the next digit every cycle which is 00 11 22 33 44... instead of 01 02 03 04...

love the use of the light bricks, gear trains, space shuttle panels, and the spike prime small motor (I still need like 12 of these). Will the landing gear be motorized?

thanks, ill check shortly :)

Is the mod that shortens the red axles inside of the cargo bay part of the instructions? Just cause I can't figure out how to mod it from images alone. regards, Snipe

one time I bought set 8462 for like £20 off off a market stall, but when I walked round the corner and opned the box it was only about 10 % lego, the rest was just matchbx cars, a barbie dolls head, and stationary etc. So I went back and got a refund. Still don't own that legendary set :|

Looking good, Yes, making a nose lift/adjustable ride height is extremley hard because the shocks are just so stiff that if you try to compress them, it will, due to backlash, start to move the ride height mechanism. Even a worm gear still has enough backlash to move the ride height to its lowest position, and that (in my case) was with an extra hard 6.5L shock, never mind these new ultra hard shocks. One idea might be something like this, though it still has a lot of backlash:

I may be able to change the color using a hex editor, or a resource editor. Gimme a few days to see if I have time.

Anyway here's some tricks I found: I wouldn't reccomend putting that old white wheel inside of the black 5 hole ring cause it stresses the plastic (until it snaps in that is)

I still don't see them. LEGO's service and website SUCK and they have sucked for a few months now. First my 42143 arrives stupidly late. Yes that was DPD's fault too but both LEGO and DPD were lying and being useless over the phone/twitter support. It arrived a MONTH late but the promotional set came around half way in between then, just on its own! Then I try and buy 2 trains which were in stock, got to the checkout and then the 'confirm purchase' button was grayed out, and I spent half an hour trying to figure out why. So I was therefore denied not only the 2 trains but the 2 promotional sets that came with each train as well as my VIP points NOW they can't even have a PAB website that isn't stupidly slow and dimwitted. The PAB website also has no new parts on it, not even from january, some even from last sodding year!!. I ended up using smyths.co.uk for the 2 lime passenger trains and airbus rescue helicopter. I most likley will in future.

Thanks 👍

I would still like space for cargo, maybe theres a way to remove those 2 red axles that stick down? Also can't the spare battery box lever be used as the pivot for the landing gear, saving a bit of space. (though I am using a buwizz 3.0 when I get one and some PU LEDS)

Always love combining duplo and lego, and this is as good as it gets!.

LOL LEGO are retarded again!, I was wondering when they were gonna do that again!. So now they basically make the 60 tooth turn table, useless 80% of the time. They make it only a spur gear and not a bevel gear. They did this on a set that does not even have a driven turntable (LAZY). SO now it's basically like the old 56 tooth turntable. I wonder when they will realize that they goofed up and go back to the original 60 tooth mold (which should, along with the mini turntable be a DOUBLE BEVEL setup anyhow) What if somebody wants to build a set out of parts they already own , now they can't! because the instructions will use the older bevelled 60 tooth turntable but they have the dumb new version. I bet you can't even put a chain on the new spur gear remold of the 60 tooth turntable!. I can't for the life of me think of a reason to make this change.

Won't metal just chew up the plastic? Trust me, I ruined a lot of lego parts by combining lego with metal as a kid.

I assume you mean this Yeah we need more sets that use this tyre!.

I just realized, we could use these parts to make tapered looking blades of any length/various colors: 89679 , 71682 , 11946 I would use black in this case, and to connect everything: black 2L and 3L axles, black pinhole with 2 opposing axles, black #1 connector. Or if you are just using the 89679 1x2 panels then five 32L axles , a pinhole with single axle and a #2 connector It will be expensive though either way!. edit: like this:

Maybe for a small 1h 2023 set they could do one of those tiny diggers that people hire in order to dig up their lawn, I see them sometimes when I'm out. Also we need another backhoe excavator, because its been ages since we got one for technic.

I'm trying to add a spring that is just placed over an axle that I took from the soft 6.5L shock absorbers (because you know my deal I'm purist) But im getting stuck a lot because it can't be too wide otherwise it will look weird, or it will not allow the technic bricks assembly to attach. Or because it is not locking in place, Or because it is too flimsy due to the axle having too much wobble Or because the axle is spinning which it should not, the rear wheels do not steer. And I also tried adding steering to the front wheels and not even the spring yet and that again, was not locking in place properly, or the wheels and tires were hitting off the assembly. Ugh This is not an easy thing.

l Paper. I'll try the online instructions then

I gotta say, the instructions for this set get terrible once you get to the seats, and beyond. They expect you to build a whole subassembly with weirdly placed parts at weird angles then they just skip to how it connects after being flipped, to the car without showing an image of what the finished subassembly looks like!. The seats don't say that you have to connect at 90 degrees to something that is already at 45 degrees. S So if you just connect it straight, you will do it wrong. I hope to finish the car before the 10th which is when I open the 42145 airbus helicopter..

Yeah I was going to do a PAB order, but since lego are being so useless recently, I'll use bricklink instead. And I use smyths toys to buy sets.

Just yet another kid ruining youtube with crap. Yeah this is not even a review.

I don;t see any Q&A, there are comments but this is nothing to do with the turntable ?

looks like this has been remolded: https://rebrickable.com/parts/88738/technic-turntable-large-type-4-top-60-teeth/0/ https://www.newelementary.com/2022/08/what-are-new-lego-parts-for-august-2022.html

Ooh, impressive. I don't think I've seen a car this small with so many features
