Hiho all,
i just recently found this forum and wanted to say hello.
I'm 30+ years old, and stopped building Lego Technic at 16 I think...
Last year my girlfriend and I wandered quite often through Toys'R'us and other shops, to buy stuff for her nieces.
And I always visited the lego racks, wondering what the Lego Technics Models of the present are.
Once I spent quite some time at a display case of the 8070 supercar, telling my girlfriend what cool functions it has compared to my old lego ages ago.
And imagine what I got from her at x-mas, the 8070 ;)
It's not 100% assembled yet, though limited time.
But while building it I was already planning ahead, having the remote control functions of nowadays sets in my mind.
So I found this forum while looking for hints to motorize and RC it.
And I am quite sure it wont be my last Technic Set ;)
after over 16 years of no lego building, I got the 8070 Supercar from my girlfriend, after visiting it extensely in a show case at Toys'R'Us not yet finished to build it, but I will definately motorize steering and wheels and add a IR Control... always dreamed of a RC Lego Car when i was a child ;)
