    This I can confirm, at least for the PF servo motors. Only 6 parts needed for this self-contained setup, and it works great:

    Kinda reminds of of this MOC:

    People like the one posting before you.....

    With the huge new wheels from set 42130, will we also enter a new era of 4-wheeled speed record attempts?

    He wants to avoid leaving finger prints so that we can see all the pet hair even better...

    Why would you include a Facebook tracking code in the link?

    Wow are we really gonna make it till the embargo time with no leaks?! Quick search... and... nevermind, Lego's official Polish IG account seems to have posted an image, and deleted it minutes later.

    Very cute, thanks for sharing! What's the part count? I'm thinking there should be a thread dedicated to <50 part Technic models... or maybe there exists one already?
  9. astyanax
    Can you explain what's wrong? I do care about legality, but I see no problem here: there are no pin endings stuck halfway a pinhole. Or are you merely taking issue with the strength of the construction?

    Perhaps @Jim can (dis)confirm whether the white and red panels are colliding in this position?

    At 3:33 Sariel says, regarding the new panel fairings, that he "can't think of any existing Technic panels that can fit flush with these". But then we have this photo from Jim: So was Sariel having a lapse of imagination here, or does this not count as 'flush'?

    Interesting! So now the #13/14/17/18 panels can be extended in both directions: using the pictured fairings on the sharp end, and using the new 5x2 panel extenders on the pinhole side!
  14. astyanax
    True. And your underlying question remains valid: what happened to the other numbers. Perhaps it tells us how many prototypes have been serious enough to warrant a number but finally didn't make the cut...
  15. astyanax
    @kbalage You remark that the new panel fairings are numbered 60 and 61, while nothing previously existed above 30. But if you look on the underside of 67142 and 68196 you'll see they're numbered 50 and 51, respectively.

    Technically speaking, they're not frictionless. Yeah, I'm a literal Einstein.
  17. astyanax
    ... or maybe the people of this forum are simply not the target audience here.
  18. astyanax
    Correct, the rubber continues on the inside, but I must say, it doesn't seem to add that much friction as compared to regular ball sockets. Maybe these parts are just getting old. If you want more friction from fresh rubber, try getting some new 74261.
  19. astyanax
    Ooooh I need to have that too!! So cool....

    Notice that one can only insert an axle by 1L (but a bar can go all the way through). Another not-so-small differentiating factor is its strength, which was really the overriding concern in the Centenario use-case quoted above.
  22. astyanax
    Yeah that's a rare part. It comes in 3 'patterns', search bricklink for x1192px1, x1192px2, x1192px3. I have two of the first, and can confirm they have high friction.

    Oh wow, the rear window is done with stickers on the three Lime 3x13 curved panels forming the roof. What if they had done instead the solution of the headlights on 42125: make the 3x13 curved panels in trans-black, then partially cover them in Lime print? Okay maybe I've had enough wine for tonight...
  24. astyanax
    The same use-case gave us part 72008 this year, causing similar head-scratching in this forum (including me), but I'm finding it very useful in my builds already. For example, you can see a red one at 2:00 in the video below. It was really the perfect part to give the necessary strength to the side skirts while there was extremely limited space due to the door mechanisms and wheels turning in that area.

    I don't recall seeing this new technic part here before...
