  1. You have to post image links (e.g imgur) not upload the images on the forum.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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. It's from 80120, which was just revealed today.
  6. It's like Racers and Technic had a baby and that baby keeps cloning itself forever.
  7. Yet another transparent color for the 11x11 banana gear rack and there are freaking 8 of them in this set.
  8. 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
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. That's why I made my own. Sick of waiting for LEGO to bring out something like this:
  12. The 60 tooth turntable is 7.7 studs in diameter. But as others have also written it's most likely 64 teeth then.
  13. I counted ~64 teeth on the gear. Could be just 60 though to match existing gear ratios.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Pretty cheap too. Almost the price of a Speed Champions car.
  17. And look, no JCB license required for play. Who would have thought that's possible? ;)
  18. Ok, thanks. But 8$ for a wheelset is more expensive than original LEGO from BL, so no bueno.
  19. Yes, Arocs wheels size is great. We need those as service parts for individual purchase too. Didn't even notice that the remote is new. If it's really proportional, that would make the servo motors finally compete with LEGO.
  20. I know it's RC, but the color choice is nice.
  21. Printed metallic silver on the corner panels. The flat ones have stickers of course. Gotta maximize profits somehow.
  22. 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.
  23. Recolor of 14T Thick Gear 69762 in dark orange, new in the N1. I believe this will be used in the upcoming Koenigsegg Hypercar.
  24. It's officially out: https://decadastore.com/products/cada-1-8-scale-alpine-a525-formula-1-car-building-kit-2173pcs-c64012w + the 1:24 scale little brother and also the Toyota GT.
