Hi, To my horror, when the entire chassis/mostly built car is driven there is a significant rolling resistance from the front axle. When the chassis is driven backwards it's completely fine! This is annoying because when the body is put and the Engine is installed the resistance becomes more visible. The Engine refuses to cycle the pistons move smoothly. I have to push the car hard to drive it forward. I have seen YouTube reviews and videos and none seem to have such bizarre rolling resistance. Please note that, I have tested it when the car was in completely stock build. No full time AWD or other mods. I detached the front axle part from the chassis and removed the engine and crankshaft setup and it still happened. I tried completely removing the differential and double bevel gear, and it still happened! I rotated the front axle without the wheels on the hubs and the differential moved just fine either way. Problem becomes noticeable when the wheels are connected to the wheel hubs. Below are the pictures and a video I noticed when the front axle is moved forward the wheels are spread As said above, when driven backward the wheels are in normal orientation and no resistance Just in case, here are the pics of the front part of chassis/axle. From the top and bottom: Also, from side: Kindly help me out!

I am mezmerized by the densely crafted looks! A truly marvelous MOC with tasteful choice of accessories

Man wayyy bettah than that excavator crap! Set "deserves" to be talked about and discussed in this theme for its building techniques and functions!

TBH, that kind of super strong shocks should be used inside/in the middle of the suspenstion control arms. Howevr, Cada is ambitious, Lego is tired

Same. I built Cada Ferrari Supercar (2020) with black 3l pins. Had faced no problems. With Lego cars becoming more closer to the shape of the real ones blue pins just keep maddening us

Indeed, although improvements been made over the years but, they aint no groundbreaking. I think they got sick. Personally I think the whole Technic design team should be sent to vacation for at least three months while the execs straight to hell Then we can actually expect something better!

Let'd build!'s review has a bit more detailed build review. I honestly think this set is good. The build techniques seem very interesting. The functions are good. For H2, I consider both the FXX K and Bronco the only two real sets from Technic theme.

Nonetheless, it's a good parts pack.

Good luck. I am curious to see how it turns out!

Yeah, I remember Unbrickme has been admiring how awesome distribution gearboxes are (for all the right reasons) in his videos for last 5 years! Apparently Lego listened to him with an inexplicable plot twist The 42215 will always be regarded as one of the (hard to make sense) mysterious sets of all time.

Man, that thing is compact with lots of technicality!

Currently the disappointment-to-sets ratio is much too high for Lego Technic 😝 I am afraid the trend/graph will have a significant upward curve in 2026 🤦‍♂️

He is good at reviewing

Meh, dare I say the Icons Shelby Cobra 10357's review and the set itself looks more interesting than this 400€ overly-expensive set

These days (cough) we are more interested in the RB and Sariels Reviews than the sets themselves. We see reviews we chatter for a few days and then the sets are sadly gone with that. I am not telling that's a bad thing..it's just that the Technic sets are becoming more and more forgettable 🤔 I cannot even remember the full Technic lineup released for the first half of 2025 The only true gem so far is that amazing 42209 Volvo Loader.

It's defo the next big thing for Cada. Waiting for it to come!

I smell buwizz/motorization vibe!

Making up for is a different thing. If the flagship continues to be proven as worse as suspected, then the other (supposedly) good sets won't make up for it. It is a flagship, has to justify expectations by its own merits.

Ha! Them Icons sets are prolly giggling at half the sets released so far in 2025 and, alarmingly have been posing threats in terms of amazeness. True the Volvo Loader is a fresh breathe but one relatively smaller set sadly cannot defend alone, he needs err..companion. The Icons you mentioned- well everytime I saw them in reviews I wanted to rush out here and say hey that thing has awesome Technic elements/functions! Same cannot be happening to most sets of a release wave/window in Technic theme. Personally and objectively I also liked the Nissan Skyline for H1 ‘25. It’s my first order since 2023. But then again twooh is still not enough. For this decade being gone halfway I will crown the 42145 Airbus as the king of complexity and functional marvel. Half the decade gone and only a few sets are being remembered talked about stirred crazy posts and caused MOCers to come up and throw beautiful creations one after another 🤦‍♂️ Part reason could be developing and releasing same type of vehicles in a short period of time. The F1’s, the 1 too 5 bikes could be examples. The interest drops too soon. The latest Ducati is not seen in the scenerios that much howevr, look at its build and functions- nothing that falls short of quality (at least that’s what I believe). Varieties with depth and proper sense of scaling can be done, not to just Agriculture/construction themes. The Space Theme has been good. The ‘21 HD Tow Truck needs her successor sooner. I have built it in ‘21 Dec and to this date she still functions as awesomely as I please. The very lil sets also been doin’ somewhat fine

More disappointment. [Will be happy to be proven wrong] Apparently Technic is busy breathing life into other themes; notably the City Theme.

Liked the doors and their functioning! And that hand brake is cherry on the top! Keep at it

Just ordered the set off Lego US website. How long it can take to arrive to this unfortunate country is up in the air. My question to anyone specially who lives inside the US: dya find it a little odd that this set along with other June 1 Technic sets (and maybe other themes) still don't appear on Amazon US site? 🤔 The August releases are available as pre-orders on the site. Even the lighting systems for R34 are flooding the website! For years I've been buying from Amazon UK/Ebay but recently the cargo shipping has become pure ****; hence turning to US options. And the ones who officially bring Lego here probably will bring the Nissan and others within a year or so 😄

Yes!

While I cannot sense but I do feel the need for @jb70 vibes with Dedumos flavors (if and when needed) for this and also for G500 Professional line.

Plenty of top favorite sets of all time talks. Let's talk about designers. Counts both All time and recents. For me it is Markus Kossmann (all time) and Milan Reindl and Kasper René Hansen. I like Markus's efforts towards overall build and functionality. I love Milan's works for his brilliant brick-built solutions which are also challenging. Recently I like Kasper for his commendable efforts towards rigidity in builds like 9x8 Peugeot Hypercar. As for MOCs it is Viktor Geynes for his brilliance in RC retro-isque cars. Also Sariel, Didumos and Eric Trax. For Lego it is usually a group of designers lead by some really cool and experienced talented person. Information comparatively scarce as to how they develop the builds as they go through required hurdles. Howevr, thanks to Racingbrick and others along with official podcasts we also get to know about these too.
