  1. Shame they made the black wheels imo. Tthat design is only available in silver on the real one!
  2. I like the boat, Claas and the buggy, small sets remind me on older technic times with small vehicles with a few functions (not quite on the level 8459 , but still not bad) Crane looks cool, mini version of the 2013 one. But iam not a fan of: rally car. -Why does it have a Top Gear license? I see no need for it and it makes the price higher than it should be. -Looks kinda crude and unfinished, especially with those stickers. -And again, no additional RC control, just the App which we don't know if it gets supported long term. Stunt bike and pickup -looks unfinished -does not really belong into technic Pullbacks: Dont't look bad but i hate pullbacks
  3. Yeah, i tried a 3 truck version but it looked quite long and not right, so i stick with 2 truck 2 cylinder. Maybe try 8 studs wide, and maybe try the rare 2 cylinder 3 trucks version...
  4. The switch part itself has a little black switch in front. So it does not matter in which direction you turn the orange switch, since you can turn direction with the black one! But there is also a version of that part with no black small switch! with bb0339c01 and without bb0339c02 I did the same thing with the Maersk set as well, both locos together and you can haul tons of rolling stock with it, as long as the locos are heavy and have some weight on the wheels. And if you want even more traction, remove the bands from the wheels and try white rubber bands ;)
  5. Over 4 years ago i builded this one, slightly based on the Maersk set. Its got a rechargeable battery, infrared sensor, 2 motors and a switch so one motor won't turn backwards. Cab technique, i actually forgot over the years that these bricks have a 2l cheese inside them :D This assembly is only attached with that lamp holder.
  6. I decided that i show my Shay Class A locomotive here because why not :) The original design in legoform was i think from Stephan Pakbaz. I builded it about 4 1/2 years ago and it works fine and reliable since then. Its got a rechargeable battery, infrared sensor, 2 old lights and a small motor. It ruined a couple of u-joints but thats TLGs fault for not making them strong enough It has one custom part for the crankshaft to angle the middle bit 90°, and the wheels have a custom painted silver ring. Sorry about those watermarks
  7. Try to remove the little offcenter hump on the ring in the middle, and maybe use a pointed punch to add a 10th dot to that ring to get 10 "lug nuts".
  8. Wow, if this is from the factory and not bend by yourself, sell it on ebay :D
  9. Just random spray paint! But keep in mind white is not white, or don't bother with a perfect match.
  10. You are the opposite of me I hate all-black alloy wheels I think the next mod is to replace the grey springs with red ones, i don't like how much it sinks in the front
  11. Repositioned some parts, so the rubberband from tailgate dont fall off
  12. Yeah i used an extra 1/2 bushing from spare parts, but you don't even need to, just take one from the red 2l axle ;)
  13. I just did this, repositioned some parts
  14. Just finished mine! Wheels will be painted white at some point!
  15. So this is how you correctly aply those gear stickers, right? It must be, i played around a bit and in Lo 1st the engine moves the fastest (and clunkiest)
  16. I like my smalltown local toys and stationary store, since its got stuff earlier then the others (hope the filesize is not to big to post here?)
  17. Looks awesome and detailed, love the technic inside!
  18. Copy that. But would it be possible for the Hi Lo to switch the red and tan with the blue and grey gear?
  19. I think the easiest mod is to make a 4 cylinder version! Just leave the first and last piston out
  20. In Grohls vid you see a code or something on the passenger side dashboard from 4:56min...
  21. Hmm, In the video the steering angle looks bigger than before on other 4wd vehicles.... But its good to have the "90" 3 door version with the shorter wheelbase for better turning radius.
