True, but TLG uses SLS technology and printers and external company for dyeing. They made a big deal out of it when the WV train was presented.- 5,571 replies

You mean because the rims are double walled and hollow on the inside? I guess they could have made them out of two halves and clipped them together, but I agree that for small series productions printing is much cheaper. Still, I think we will see many more SLS parts in the future for all sorts of custom pieces because they have invested heavily in this printing technology and don't just use one printer. All the new parts we get are first made on resin or SLS printers, so they are already used in the development & manufacturing process. Btw, the tires are from the Ford T in black and I also spotted dbg half bushes and nougat steering wheel 67811.- 5,571 replies

LOL. LEGO is now doing large 3D-printed rims in official sets (albeit very limited Factory Tour sets) and not just one-off gimmicks like the small train and duck. A precedent for what's to come in mass produced sets or an experiment to test the waters?- 5,571 replies

Wow. Somebody actually made a 3D model of it. Will certainly print it out tomorrow. https://www.printables.com/model/1423022-lego-technic-gear-60-tooth-as-seen-in-the-lego-mov/files And you remembered something correctly. There was also a 48T prototype gear that was never released acc. to a Reddit post. Same guy made this part available too: https://www.printables.com/model/1423819-lego-technic-gear-48-tooth-unreleased-prototype- 5,571 replies

The wheel has to be smaller than 30L to lift off the ground because the stand is 20L on each legs. So my bad for earlier. @HydroWorld Outlook The tire is one piece, but I agree, that the 12 arch segments could be halves that connect together to form a larger wheel.- 5,571 replies

If I counted correctly the spokes are 11L and the whole wheel is ~33L in diameter! That is bigger than the largest (Hailfire) wheels ever made by TLG, which were 26.5L (21.2cm). And the gear is 8L so definitely 64T.- 5,571 replies

That's why I made my own. Sick of waiting for LEGO to bring out something like this:- 5,571 replies

The 60 tooth turntable is 7.7 studs in diameter. But as others have also written it's most likely 64 teeth then.- 5,571 replies

I counted ~64 teeth on the gear. Could be just 60 though to match existing gear ratios.- 5,571 replies

Those are probably just mold lines you see on the grey ABS part. It's most definitely a 2 component part with a huge rubber tire with the same pattern as motorcycle tires have. I could imagine that it's 2K molded similar to the Vespa tires.- 5,571 replies

Notice the top part of the bottle is a new color or shape of the shift drum piece, that will probably come in the 1:8 scale car later this year. The huge wheels and spokes are also new. It's a pity they didn't make this Technic based Ideas bike, but rather depict a rich kids model without any interesting functions in the most boring Icons theme for adult display junk.- 5,571 replies

Nice find! I think those are 8mm wheels with a pin hole instead of blocked axle hole. Interestingly there are also 4x Skyline GT-R wheel covers included in this set too.- 5,571 replies
