42107 - Ducati Panigale V4R
mpj replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I like the Ducati but the motorbike in your profile photo @therealjustin is much better! Where can I see more photos of it? Did somebody manage to add a front fender? -

Great job! Can you test a rendering with black rims, leaving the internal sprockets in yellow?

42112 Concrete Mixer Truck
mpj replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
There is a gearbox on one side of the truck, so I think there must be an engaged/dis-engaged mode. -

I always appreciate your reverse engeneering models, do you have a stud.io file to share? Thank you I think the gearbox is done to avoid this problem. You should dis-engage the spin mode when you go backwards. -

I've just found this image in instagram and it is not cut out on top and bottom. So you see (on top) the gear box, and (on bottom) the lenght: 42cm -

OT. But if people have the catalogue with no "confidential" stamp, why do they take bad and "fast" photos like if they are paparazzi ?! -
If steering is not done with LAs or mini LAs, then it is not very realistic...

But the Lamborghini has been leaked about 2 weeks before its release, which I think is a record. The concrete mixer will be released in August and we actually don't know if it will remain a secret until mid July! -

It is lovely, simple and well designed -
42108 - Mobile Crane
mpj replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Yes but @Gumalca is right when the says that when the boom in 42108 is horizontal, the actuator is horizontal too. So your first statement (push from the actuator is horizontal) is an issue in 42108 too. Not only the actuator should be placed a little more forward than the boom pivot, but also at a lower point, so it stays at an angle when the boom completely horizontal. -
Main problem of tires here is that the rim is too big compared to the external diameter of the tire. There is too much yellow and too few black.

First release of 8043 had an issue with LAs. TLG had to replace all them sending 4 new LAs to people who bought the 8043 before they discovered the issue. LAs produced before 8043 (and included in the first batch of 8043) were different internally. They tested that the internal gears tended to "consume" when used intensively in a RC model. The LAs produced later (and currently) works better. The difference between the 2 LAs is slightly noticeable, the old one is more "rigid".

[TC18] WIP Lancia Delta Martini
mpj replied to mpj's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I chose those wheels with low profile tires to have a "sport look". All the dimensions of the car have been scaled down to those wheels, so at the end I hope they will look right
