Cool story bro

You're the one assuming it will never work - everybody else so far has tried to explain why it would be possible, and i think they have some strong points. Anyway, we don't know what TLG will come up with, since they keep it mostly secret. So both options are possible...

Well, if you think it might not be professional enough, dont be shy. I really like the looks of it, so it would be really nice if you could put something together. yep, build it in red..

Yellow?

Why dont we put this topic under a Rockcrawler

I prefer a 2000 piece jet/helicopter, that would be awesome... (i'll keep on dreaming) @ Paul, what are you up to hm? supercar model 3?

Why are we seeing these pictures as they are confidential? Not that i don't want to see them... TLG wants to spot some first impressions and do adjustments? Was hoping that the jet plane would be more impressive/larger. Looks a bit like a NF-5/training jet to me. And what's up with TOW-models?

Great job, to me it looks like a possible D-model of the 8258 (since someone already made a C-model ) So > Instructions! Really like to build this. Would you say it is possible to build with only parts from 8258?

Nice start in the first place. Second, why not try to do it the hard way, like in the 8043, so connect the LA's to the chassis? I think that will be more challenging and better looking. (adding motors right to the LA seems a bit meh to me, but that's my opinion... )

Any new pic's, comments or thoughts?

MOAR Pictures! No, seriously, it looks great. You would say the wheels of 8070 are to small? (are those other wheels that large??? )

Hahaha, awesome! I remember building a walking robot with old technic lego (from a ideabook), but A: it was much slower B: it could not steer This is done really well. Btw, this kind of models seems pretty popular these days, they get better every time... How? Why?

Got my 8070 in yesterday! Sorting parts and halfway through book 1. I already like it. Wheels are cool, and so is the parts collection. A few things that i noticed: - The M-motor is really small! (compared to XL motor) - The box and the set have the wheels placed a little weird (with the better looking side on the inside) - why? can't wait to be home from work again

Woops, thanks for correcting me.

I bought this set yesterday, can't wait for it to be delivered at home! Looking forward to build it, and after that use the parts to complete blackbirds gallardo which i was building already...

Ah, thanks for enlighten me, i didnt know about tatra suspension and stuff. But, is it not possible to use the central axle with gear which connects to a normal placed differential to oscillate?

So, need to sell anything technic? My collection fits in one box...

Well, i think i have a rather logic question on this: why did you not put the differentials between the wheels as normal? The solution you have causes a lot of friction on those gears and axles - the differentials can make this go away for a huge amount i think... For the rest - looking good. Just try and go on with making improvements.

Where do you buy these in NL and what do they cost?

This is really nice! Good job on these mechanics. I think this would be usefull for trucktrials? Did you build it for that purpose? To bad I don't have those older differentials, they seem much more usefull. The new ones only fit to those 20T gears and they can't be used with the red locking mechanism... Maybe someone can explain that to me?

What a great website! awesome for inspiration etc. Thanks for pointing out

I'd like to see a badass plane/helicopter or something other uncomon... (not that i own flagships of the last years, i just like those models...) Maybe a sr-71 blackbird, in black, with working engines (hmmmm, maybe a moc idea)

my solution:

Very nice. Good job! like the combination of functions. Although the person being saved must really like rollercoasters, see the part after the pick-up

Well, it could be because of the use of other parts At stap 59 I had to work something out, because i do not own 41678 and 32291 But i think there could fit a 1x15 beam at stap 368 above the grey 48989 the seat and frontpart should be fit differently, but whould make it a bit stronger. Just my opinion though. For the wings i use the system posted here to make it stronger. You can adjust it to have the same angle you have with your system...
