I can't say I mind. 1:10 offers more room for functions, obviously, but if Lego isn't going to put more functions in anyways, they might as well keep the scale and price down with 1:12

Nicely detailed! Thanks for doing a detailed writeup, as well. I also appreciate the effort put into the rear suspension! I do hope you manage to get some stickers done at some point

Oh, very clever! Thanks for sharing these little details

That is a seriously clean-looking model; nice work! That's a real shame about the new LEDs! That was a super important feature!

That's a cool solution!

Maybe part of it is to make the venue work? If you've got locked diffs, maybe your capability level goes up to the point that it would be trivial to make it through the course they have built, and building a harder course is logistically difficult?

Cool! I'm glad to see the progress!

Nice work! That suspension design is really interesting. Do I understand correctly that there are no springs involved, and it just relies on the weight of the axle to cause it to articulate down?

Realistically it should have AWD, but I doubt Lego will attempt it. I think it would either require new parts or unconventional (and probably sketchy) techniques to do it at this scale. That being said, have they modeled any other real-world AWD cars at this scale before? If they've been consciously avoiding it until now, it would be more interesting that they decided to go for one now

Looks pretty decent! Glad to see them choosing a well-known and recognizable car this time

Nice, that is compact! It's always satisfying to use double-bevel gears in both perpendicular and parallel meshes at the same time

I was pretty impressed with the performance of my design! Torque wasn't enormous, but it was enough to drive a large car reliably, with planetary reduction afterwards. Oh, I hadn't realized that you're driving the disc from both sides! That's cool, and should improve grip over my design. I had to use a 2-stud wide tire, which produced a speed differential over the different parts of the tire, causing wear. Sounds like a cool GBC project!

Nice, I love to see cool mechanisms like that being developed! I did a similar build years ago, but I was trying to get it compact enough to squeeze into a car model, so it was built a bit differently. Yours should have a much larger spread of ratios than mine did! I do think this style of CVT is probably the most practical one for Technic. Is there a larger project this is going in? That cone looks pretty specific

I gotta say I like it! Not enough to buy it (haven't bought any of the cars in this series), but I like it. It's such a classic car, and I think the color scheme pulls off the look well. There's just something about classic race cars with the really meaty tires on them! I can't say I mind the choice of rim either. The other one people are suggesting would look better (if they made the skinny one for the front), but I think the truck rims here work way better here than they do on any of the modern cars they've made in this series. I guess the new rear tire is a plus? That diameter of truck tread tire has been used for cars an awful lot at this point, so I guess a better tread for them is nice? Also, I haven't seen any discussion of the parts on the A-pillars. Those are new, right? Something like 1x5, with a 1 stud offset?

Wow, that's cool! Sounds like just what some of those high-speed 1:8 models need!

The alternate models just don't stop! Nice work

Thanks for sharing!

I've tried printing TPU tires, and while they were soft enough, they weren't grippy at all. You could flex them, but they wouldn't stick

That's some MOC inspiration there! I've done FWD transverse engine cars with motorized sequential transmissions, but I don't think I've ever done one with a manual shifter. It'd be some interesting linkage work to get that to work with a transverse transmission

As a Suzuki 4x4 fan (and driver), I love it! So it's pendular suspension front and rear? I love that the I-3 isn't just a limitation of the three crank pieces from the Bronco, but actually accurate to Samarai engine options

Ha, nice! I like the style, for the size especially

Ooh, I'd say that worked out really well, especially for an alternate model!

Oh no, there's not much more frustrating than that! It's great to see you developing your skills and making newer, better instructions!

That looks quite thoughtfully designed; nice job!

Looks quite nice!
