The new worm gear part which is stackable seems to be very attraktive. Besides this radio it appears in the new City crane and also in Friends Set for an elevator. Just a Matter of time coming to proper Technic sets

I like it much for the parts, but not for 200€

Thats in the end cheating on the customers and even more worse, cheating on the children

It is. And it is the laziest approuch to implement front lights. But hey who cares its generic 10+

Looks a bit cheap in design and overpriced. For 200€ you get a bunch of Panels and only two Pneumatic cylinders. The 42157 Skidder has 5 Cylinders for 189€ and was considered as expensive.

Expect the reddish orange rather in the Porsche set

I agree with you, this set is love or just hate. The way the App works and interacts with the model is top-notch, showing all the possibilies for Control+ on its limit. I decided to be in love with that set and build my copy again.

No, PU-system has reached half of its lifetime now. It is expensive to develope the interfaces and to keep the App alive and PU and C+ aren't systems they can be replaced easily without any benefit. The new hub is just an addition to the ecosystem, the regular 4-port hub is still alive. Not every solution is possible with this new hardware, it can't be act as counterweight at the very end (friend 42146 for example) nor used for models that requires 4 motors (42129, 42131). It is a decision by design. Does the model wants cool lights and only 3 motors on tiny space? Then use this new hub, otherwise the regular one

I like this new hub and the genius idea behind this to finally introduce programmable lights. Possibilities are endless, imagine a car that automatically turns on indicators controlled by the App. Everyone who has already made instructions for electronic models knows who annoying it is to lead and giude the wires on tiny space. This new hub solves this for smaller builds. The instructions can then focus on wire the lights instead for the motors

I thought the same and as a nice addition that excavator can finally use lights. Things getting interesting using this new hardware for setups with gearboxes since the two rear motors are in parallel, like 42114 Volvo just with one hardware piece and lights. The new hub is not a replacement as many people say, its a cool addition for models restricted to three motors and compact setups

Great. Have fun building him :)

After many recolored parts for 42154 Ford GT, the most likely color for the Porsche might be earth blue... or the new "spacish" orange

When the first information for Liebherr Crane came out in the beginning of 2022 there was also rumors about new hardware (new hubs) in the set. Nothing is confirmed that the Porsche will use it

Will be a "challenging building experience" with only one piece of hardware. Looks like 18+ sets are too difficult now :D But again this hub is improvement for tracked vehicles

This new integrated hub in Porsche would mean that the integrated motor at the front is responsible for steering and the two motors for the rear drive without differential - one motor per rear wheel mounted opposite. The C+ app then needs to adjust the speed for each wheel when the car drives on curve, like a differential would do. This is something similar to real electro cars they are driven directly by wheel hub, not by axle. The new hub totally makes sense here when TLG tries to make "e-performance" as realistic as possible and is also a benefit for upcoming tracked vehicles (driving tracks on opposite, rotating super structure with third motor where a 4-port-hub would waste one port)

Thanks, Paul

Trustworth source. Thanks :D

Any sources for this?

Meet Wall-E, an alternative build (b-model) for the cute Heavy-Duty Bulldozer

Meet Wall-E, an alternative build for Lego Technic 42163 Heavy-Duty Bulldozer Wall-E is a B-model for available set 42163 Heavy-Duty Bulldozer (no additional parts needed) Wall-E can drive smoothly on tracks and rotate his head around Wall-E can actually grab things (waste included) with his moveable arms and transport them Wall-E has free instructions to build by yourself Wall-E wishes you alot of fun building and playing Free Instructions available for this model!

Hello Eurobrickers, let me allow to share a new creation with some insights made from LEGO Technic set 42154 Ford GT as an alternate build. The idea behind When the 42154 Ford GT came out with its inventory in March 2023, I was impressed by the earth blue colour and had immediately a Lamborghini Lanzador in mind to build with this pieces. I was sure that this model is doable with the given parts, but unfortunately this vehicle is an upcoming electronic car with no engine. Skip the engine and functionality only for design? Nope, not this time so I decided not to make this model and was working on some sketches for a Koenigsegg Gemera instead but that car did not convinced me at all so I decided to finally skip (pause) 42154. To be honest, I found the inventory of the set very special with many odd part numbers, but was impressed by the large amount of connectors used and blue axle pins and also red 2L axles. In February 2024, I stumbled over pictures of the Dodge Viper GTS in second generation, manufactured since 1996 and directly felt in love with this car. To reuse the headlight parts and white parts for stripes seems to be a good option and I finally got keen with the inventory of the 42154 set to make first sketches. In the beginning of March 2024, the project for the Dodge Viper was official born and the finished model ends up with impressive 1430 parts used only from the set 42154 Ford GT. Model features 1:11 scale HoG linkage-steering suspension in front and back engine with moving pistons openable doors on both sides realistic openable hood with lock detailed interior measures 41cm x 18cm x 11.5cm Model impressions Model details Both doors of the model can be opened to see the interior. Pedals are made for the driver with existing parts. The car is controlled from the back with a knob that is responsible for steering the front wheels with a linkage system. The hood opens up to 60 degrees and can be locked to safely stay in position while playing and displaying the model... ...and easily unlocked to close. Opening the hood reveals the engine that is driven directly by the rear wheels through differential. As common for B-model compromises and limited parts, this Dodge Viper uses (only) a V6-engine under the hood instead a V10 - sorry folks. It was very hard to fit all the functionality (engine + steering + suspension) under the hood in tiny space, but everything works well as suspected. Made with DieCast For the first time I used a Diecast-model and also many pictures from it. Here are some pictures for comparison: If you like what you see, feel free to support my work and to build your own Dodge Viper from your 42154 donor set. Instructions and more info can be found here Happy building!

A German shop lists this set for under 400 € if someone is interested buying the Set for a reasonable price

Looks pretty accurate to the real one of the photo. Nice usage of the flames. Good job

This happens unfortunately to many Technic models. Last candidate for this is the 42146 Liebherr with many overengineered modules and parts, where other more important parts at other places was simply saved away. This means to me that a final review stage for a final model does not take place before it is going on the market, because an other designer with some distance to the model will simply see this

I guess for a more friendly color, and again dbg after 42129 Mercedes seems to boring. Maybe its regular lime green.
