LEGO doesn't typically release bug fixes, even if they don't require giving away extra parts. For example, in the Bugatti, removing friction from the blue pins was enough to smooth out the front shock absorbers without snagging, but even this simple patch proved beyond their capabilities. Big and great companies pretend everything is fine until the very end, and LEGO bugs won't cause planes to crash, so it'll do.

This April, after several years, CADA resumed publishing instructions for large models. The large number of unique parts makes copying them unprofitable, and they are no longer considered new. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1uZmyUcLM1pY8Gk2jv7WF5c1NYir4YAu_

CADA has updated its website – the collection of instructions has been moved to Google Drive. The advantage is that everything downloads quickly, but the disadvantage is that it's difficult to understand the model without a picture. Unfortunately, there are no more instructions – apparently we won't see them for the new Technics supercars on the official website anymore. Part 3 of the instructions for the C61081 crane is also incomplete. Direct link to Google Drive CaDA PDF Instructions - Google Drive

I've completed this rather challenging build. I replaced the antique "znap" parts with assemblies made from connectors #3 and #4. Instruction errors: 1. Step 132 – the far left black pin cannot be installed because a blue pin is already there. Besides the "pin to pin" error, there are also errors with installing the round pin into the axle hole. 2. Many 61184 pins are used that require the corresponding black 2L pin, but they are not labeled. Maybe I should change their color? 3. A number of parts cannot be installed because previously installed parts are in the way and must be removed. 4. Step 535 cannot be completed without completely disassembling the right side of the dashboard or without doing step 521 first. 5. When installing a number of parts (steps 25 and 36), there's no indication that the part is to be installed in a different position and then rotated to the specified location. 6. There are no instructions on the position of the axles and parts when joining the assemblies. 7. There are no intermediate checks of the assembled mechanisms. Design flaws: 1. The transfer case switch doesn't work. 2. Adjusting the suspension height requires a lot of effort. Below are my suggestions to the author, sent by email for general discussion and additions. I also tested the program on a large touchscreen in Samsung Dex mode. So far, my only complaint is the inability to move the model view vertically or horizontally during assembly. You can only zoom and rotate. In some cases, the model appears shifted up or down, leaving a significant portion of the screen blank. Swiping with two fingers doesn't do anything—could it be used to pan the view? A few more comments and suggestions regarding the program's functionality. 1. The parts list is still not fixed (2739 -> 2739a). 2. I'd like to be able to search by part number in the list. I'd also like to be able to jump to the assembly steps that use the selected part—this feature is essential when analyzing the possibility of replacing parts. 3. Add an exit button to the app on the home screen. 4. If you use the app generator, it most likely supports the Windows Store as well. This feature would also be of interest to many. I'm willing to participate in testing on this platform as well.

The Android app is working well. When is it planned for general release?

The Chinese didn't even bother with IR control—they went straight to Bluetooth radio, allowing control from both a remote control and a phone. At 10 euros for a set consisting of a 4-channel control unit, a remote control, two L-motors, and one servo motor, it would be difficult to offer anything more competitive. I'm not sure Lego Technic needs anything more complex for most users.

In Russia, there's a separate website, aliexpress.ru, but judging by a Google search, the same suppliers are used globally. Try searching for "Leduo 1x9 1x11".

In my humble opinion, Chinese-made PF electronics are more than sufficient for Lego Technic. In recent years, they've added compact micromotors and steam generators, as well as 6-channel control units with smooth control. Remote control units from Chinese manufacturers are often incompatible. But this is actually a plus – in one model that used two 4-channel units, I used the incompatible units, and I didn't have to do any additional work to decouple the units. At 2-5 euros per motor, they're in high demand and will remain relevant for a long time.

The set itself is a good collection of CADA parts. I hope you noticed that their custom parts often replicate standard parts, and the additional elements of these parts are rarely used. Modified beams and beams with pins similar to those for CADA are available on AliExpress.

The Znap parts can be replaced with flexible hoses and tubes of lengths 1 and 2, or they can be built from bricks. When will the Android app be updated?

In the original, this part of the roof has the shape of half an oval, not a semicircle. So the options for replacing these parts will be relevant. https://www.the-blueprints.com/vectordrawings/show/21384/koenigsegg_agera_rs

It's not about the price. I can't access this site from Russia. This part is not available on local similar sites. It's not available on AliExpress either. I don't want to buy rare parts just to assemble one model that won't fit on the shelf.

Before importing the partlist.xml file on the rebrickable, replace the part number 2739 with 2739a in it to avoid an error when loading into the custom list. Request to the author and all other authors of the MOC - do not use prehistoric parts in your models that only you have. In this case, there are insurmountable problems with parts 32212 and 32230. Part 32230 looks great on the body of the model, but it is simply not available for purchase - it was produced in the last millennium for 2 years and only in 3 Lego sets. The Chinese do not produce it. Please come up with an adequate replacement for something more affordable.

If it's not a secret - what are the results? In the summer, MK stopped showing instructions in its application - I hope this is not the result of your lawsuit? This year, CADA also reduced the number of available instructions. IMHO, such models are a potential "king of the mountain" of personal collections of Lego Technic models. On my "mountain" are your 2014 tractor (according to the MK 19005 instruction, sorry) and Lonestar. Both are assembled without pneumatics and electrics. I do not suffer from hanging LED garlands. Therefore, the appearance is the main factor in the popularity of such models. Well, and also a lot of opening doors, hatches and boxes for storing stashes.
