A number of parts are sold on Aliexpress, for example, in the Leduo store. In stock there are modified beams (analogues of Lego 2391/73507) in sizes from 3 to 9, as well as beams with pins at the ends in lengths from 2 to 9. The remaining parts are either direct analogues or, most often, are easily replaced. Specific design elements are most often not available, but I do not encourage their use - this goes beyond the scope of the “Lego Technic” concept - if you want to get as close as possible to the appearance, then do modeling (Revell, Italeri, etc.). Cada added instructions for the new all-terrain vehicle C62006 Wild Cat. As soon as I receive the specific parts, I will try to assemble it - a simple (652 parts), but interesting model.

This one is simpler than yours in terms of controls, which are the same as those of a regular Lego car. And the design and principle of operation of all flatbed plotters is almost the same.

Mould King recently released its 13181 pen plotter. It uses 3 conventional L-motors and a Bluetooth remote control unit. Assembly instructions are available in the manufacturer's Facebook thread.

CADA removed the instructions for the LaFerrari C61505 from its website without explanation. IMHO, in this regard, the likelihood of instructions for the next supercars appearing is very questionable.

In 2023, the new Ford GT Mk IV appeared. Quite an adequate pair to the classic GT at 1:14. And again, the analogy with a pair of Ferrari 488 and Sp3.

I think the next 1:8 supercar will be a big dark blue Ford. His style is closer to the previous Big Three. Just like a very subtle hint before the big red 2022 Ferrari, the 2021 Ferrari 488 was released.

I decided to assemble this model from "old" parts - without new wheels, hubs, CV joints and small panels, as well as connectors 2393 and 72008. For the drive I took ordinary L-motors and a 4-channel remote control from China. During assembly, it turned out that the L-motors are shorter than Lego PU by 1 stud, but this did not lead to any problems. But the steering turned out to be quite bad - it was not possible to get a return to the center even once. I decided to put an ordinary servo motor - it easily gets up instead of an L-motor. But with him I got a problem with centering. In the end, I replaced 2 gray gears 94925 with 3 8-tooth 10928 + axle 3L. The result was a normal steering with a stable return to the center. Perhaps this will help you too. Assembly of the model with new beams turned out to be interesting. I took the wheels and hubs from the Ford F-150. Thick CV joints replaced with old thin ones. Instead of 4x 2393, you can put 4х 65487 at the attachment points of the following parts. 72008 was replaced with an assembly of 2x41677 + 1x3713 + 1x32062. Small panels are replaced with other parts in place, depending on your imagination and taste. I left the differentials new, but with a "red" gear (12/28) - the Chinese L-motor has higher speeds and the machine drives quietly around the room.

How do you create a parts list if you don't have assembly instructions? Could you convert your list to csv format that could be used to upload to rebrickable? This file would be more useful and compact to upload here. By the way, an instruction for C61505 in 8 volumes appeared on the CADA website. This model has many modified parts. If the frames cut in half 64179 and beam 14720 can be easily replaced with uncut ones, then with JX41xx panels it will be much more difficult. Does Lego really protect its rights to every detail so strongly? Or is it copy protection? Or both at once? CADA Fantasma/Jesko C61048 is less complicated in terms of details, but has a more interesting design in terms of mechanics.

I was also interested in this model from CADA. The model is really complex and interesting to assemble, but I'm not satisfied with its color - white. Therefore, I decided to assemble it myself from the available parts in a red and black body color. In this model, CADA uses parts of its own design, which have no analogues in Lego and are very difficult to replace - these are modified beams and beams with pins at the ends. The gear shifter from CADA can be easily replaced with 4 Lego pieces. I'm not a "Lego-only" fan, so I bought 2 cheaper models from CADA (C64004 and C52027) which have the required modified beams. The manual for C61048 is already available on the CADA website.

Lonestar is one of the most beautiful trucks in life and this model also emphasizes its beauty. I built a "static" version without radio control and pneumatics to put it on the shelf as the "king of the hill" of my small collection. Special thanks to the author for prompt assistance with advice on instructions. The author asked to add criticism in the review - well, get it ... Assembling such a model according to the photo instructions in 2022 causes a lot of problems and questions after the instructions in the Lego model are perfectly laid out in steps. Of the design problems, I can note the bridges - there is practically no fastening of the wheels in the rear axle - when the model is raised, the wheelsets remain lying on the table. I had to make changes and add hubs so that the model could be lifted "up the mountain". The front axle also has problems with the mounting of the upper points of the shock absorbers and they had to be changed. In life, Lonestar is a "Christmas tree" on wheels that can be decorated indefinitely. When assembling the model, I also could not resist and added some decorations. The result is an excellent beautiful model. I hope the author will release version 2.0 and we will see an even more beautiful Lonestar.P.S.
