    Yeah, that doesn't seem particularly high. People have even beat that with just Buwizz stuff!
  2. 2GodBDGlory
    What's the current record?
  3. 2GodBDGlory
    Yeah, not necessarily a LOTR specialist, but someone who knows enough about it to good reviews. I'll try Solid Brix; thanks!

    I'm wanting to watch or read a quality review of Minas Tirith, but, spending most of my time in the Technic world, I don't know who the quality reviewers in this space are. Are there any particular reviewers you could recommend to me with a good grasp of Middle-Earth? Thanks!

    Is the plan to have direct-drive motors? That seems like the only way to achieve that kind of speed without bearings or metal axles. I guess one option to limit tire ballooning would be to use very large tires, like the BMW motorcycle ones? That way you get a lower RPM for a given speed, with less centrifugal force to pull off the tire? That probably introduces a lot of other design compromises, though. It sounds like a really cool project, though! Is my understanding correct that this is a newly added record to their list, that no one has submitted yet?

    They had a knob wheel for their ratcheting mechanism, though, didn't they? I'd probably count that as a gear. (When my buddy and I parted together the Mustang from his collection, he didn't have any knob wheels handy, so we used a 24T gear and a modified ratchet. It seemed to work better with more teeth!)

    Apparently I don't have anything newer than 2022! Though there's gotta be some newer sets I could part out? I probably wouldn't have time to make an entry anyways (Just moved and need to unpack; starting a new job with 50+ hour weeks; got a 1:8 car MOC to finish; and have projects from other hobbies to finish...) Limiting it to just 2026, or even just the last couple years, could be fairly limiting for members, though. Especially given how much we like to complain about the recent sets, it wouldn't be too surprising if some of us actually didn't buy them!

    Cool, congrats!

    Glad to see some more progress!

    I wonder if the existence of this 64T gear makes it at all more likely that a 32T gear would be introduced. After all, a 32T one would be in the same family as the 16T and 64T, capable of meshing with both of them at whole number spacings. It probably doesn't mean much, but I'd have to think it makes it slightly more likely! Really it's just a matter of how long it takes before Lego actually needs one for some model, I guess

    Got it, thanks! A more neutral recolor is nice to have
  12. 2GodBDGlory
    I'm a big fan of this model! So detailed, so big, and so unusual! And there's even a complicated suspension involved! Glad to see progress on it
  13. 2GodBDGlory
    Or if you're rotating it the other way, there's only going to be a minimal amount of torque available before it starts to freewheel
  14. 2GodBDGlory
    Wow, interesting stuff! So apart from the massive wheel, we get: - ~11L link, which will probably have some good generic uses - 64T gear, which probably won't be useful in the average MOC, but should open up some new possibilities - 20T freewheel gear, which seems really revolutionary! That seems like a seriously useful and unique part! True, true! Do we have any thoughts about that DBG new-style wave selector part? In the past when it was recolored from blue to orange, it was actually a different mold, with a different shift pattern. Any chance this is also a new mold, with a different shift pattern for this year's supercar? Or is it just a straight recolor.

    I was saying that more because of the small series than the particular geometry--although the geometry does look complex, I don't know enough about molding to know if it would have been problematic or not
  16. 2GodBDGlory
    Hey, I just wanted to remind all of us on here how cool it is that we can still come here to a healthy, old-school, forum, in 2026! It seems like this kind of thing has largely died out, and been replaced by social media stuff that just doesn't have the same feel (or function). Yet here in the Lego fandom, we can pretend it's still 2010 and enjoy a friendlier internet here on Eurobricks! Thanks to all the moderators and other forum staff who have kept this going! I really appreciate being able to come here
  17. 2GodBDGlory
    By the nature of the technology, it's really only economical on small batches of parts (or where the geometry doesn't allow traditional molding). I'd say this is a perfect use case, but I wouldn't expect to see it on mass-market sets, unless maybe the numbers work out for a one-off design that will never be needed in another set?
  18. 2GodBDGlory
    Nice, I love that you did that! I'm noticing the green Bugatti in these posts, and I think somehow I missed that one's release! I'm a sucker for green, so that looks pretty sweet to me
  19. 2GodBDGlory
    Nice job, that's well done! And wow, it really does seem to be increasing exponentially!
  20. 2GodBDGlory
    Oh, interesting about the 48T gear! I don't think I had ever seen that before
  21. 2GodBDGlory
    Ah, you're right! I feel less regret now, since 48T would have been more useful:
  22. 2GodBDGlory
    Wasn't the Lego Movie one a 48T gear? That's my memory of it, at least
  23. 2GodBDGlory
    Wow, dang! When I saw that mentioned in a different thread I was hoping it would finally be the 48T gear, but that looks far bigger! Definitely cool that it exists, since more gears are always good! I'm not sure how many uses I'll find for it though
  24. 2GodBDGlory
    It'd be cool to see that part used in an application like this!
  25. 2GodBDGlory
    At least for me, I hardly care what Technic sets are released, as long as we keep getting good, new parts. I actually don't think I've bought a Technic set since early 2020, and I think the newest set I've bought was a 2017 set! (Though I have been gifted a few sets, and won a few sets in contests. I did kind of buy the 42145 Airbus, but that was with proceeds from selling a different set I got as a contest prize, so I don't count it) Even though I haven't bought sets in that long, it wasn't because of the quality of sets--there were plenty of good sets newer than 2017! I'm just cheap, and have been at the point where my collection is big enough for the MOCs I want to build, so I have no need to buy more full sets. That being said, I guess I do care about the health of the theme as far as it fosters the community. If the theme died outright, sure I could keep building my MOCs for decades to come, but I doubt the community would be anywhere near as vibrant, which would take a lot of fun out of it.
