Is your controller connected to the phone with a wire?

Yep. And be disconnected otherwise I think.

Has anyone got any ideas where I can find the instructions for this set? Or do we just have to wait for it to be on Lego's site.

Good luck with this. I recommend you to do instructions for a couple other models (maybe smaller ones) before you start on the instructions for this, if you dont intend to do multiple re-releases and updated versions of this model. I've made instructions a few times and theres no shortcut to getting it right. I recommend you to use lots and lots of submodels when you're building, and also convert small ones to callouts to keep the page length from getting out of hand. Also, 6 steps on one page is fine on a big screen, but less is better for people on a laptop, phone, ipad IMO. I guess what I'm trying to say is, if this will be a one off masterpiece, take the time to learn how to make good instructions first.

This made me smile, I never expected to see miku on this forum! Maybe you can mount the leek on some 2l rubber pieces with 2 axle holes so it has a less robotic feel to its movement.

Still no 4 long liftarm.... I also cant believe we dont have a 32t gear, its such a good size.

I think it doesn't fit because of the extra half stud of the pin hole, which collides with some of the bracing parts for the axle that holds the wheel.

I have the ultimate solution for you, but you might not like it... https://bambulab.com/en https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/personal Come to the dark side ;)

I like this, its super fun and looks great to play with. The part usage of the hockey spring for the grabbers is fantastic, I'm really impressed. And the video was a pleasure to watch, I'm glad you built a little scene around the crane. Fantastic work, it looks like a lot of fun!

I think it's better to keep it simple and sturdy than try make it accurate. Its a motorised set.

Maybe stacked tiles would give a more convincing illusion then, the lines where they join could be more convincing than a flat plate. Or if you get custom stickers that works too.

Looking good! Maybe you can use grill pieces instead of flat tiles though?

This part is an illegal build, its probably a different build. Nice work everywhere else, thanks! Edit: Actually- it can be built like that if the dbg pins are pushed out, then the lbg angle connector dropped in, then the dbg pins pushed in. but I don't think thats likely.

Impressive! I it a lot, especially the stripe on the body. Is there any reason you are using bevel gears instead of the new non bevel ones in the drivetrain? I think there could be some slight efficiency gains with the new non bevel ones. Nice trick with the steering and moving bevel gear too.

Awesome work @R0Sch! Can you share a photo of the underside/provide the file you have so far? I want to take a good look at this one...

I recall it being used for wing flapping in a bionicle set. Cool to see it used again.

Honestly, I don't get it either... Not having external wires to break is good. But having a presumably non replacable battery? Seriously not cool. How about a system with plugs like the 9v system so wires breaking is not an issue... Doesn't seem that hard to me. Maybe wireless motors is the next big thing though.

It will only be rear wheel drive. Theres a few hints. The reddish brown cross axle holding the front wheels. But also, if you zoom in on this image you can see the lower towball of the wheel hubs is DBG, so it will be using this piece, same as in 42124... Because of the scale I can forgive it though.

I could see fantasy vehicles being fun

Does anyone know what screws are used on the MTP wheel hubs? I want to make my own plastic ones using a similar method of holding wheels on with screws. I guess I could go to a hardware store and find some if nobody knows off the top of their head.

Good idea. I think the dodge would actually look better in a smaller scale. As for the skyline, I think suspension is something I'd accept letting go if as a trade off for keeping AWD in the skyline.

How smoothly do those metal ball pieces role? Will it be easy enough to control or will it want to spin out?

No limits other than it must use tracks? Im in!

Do you mean you think the rwd is not connected when driving normally? That would be such a weird choice...

Oof, and then its even worse in NZ...
