Aleh

Hi guys, happy to share that my MOC is now being on store shelves! All official, not stoled etc.

I've also build probably one of this 10 years ago - it was nice :)

Because it's build of a system parts. But I wish they produces some MTB from Technic

The design is great, what to say more. The highest detalization and attention to details, VERY recognizable design. Even the interior is from AUDI :) Custom wheels but still too wide tyres.. I wish they have more realistic width.

Do not feels they are made of lego. More like a scale models. Epic models. As you are ignoring questions about intructions - let me ask what 3rd party parts were used here except obviously wheels and motors?

Hello! I found a paradise organizers! https://bestcraftorganizer.com But they do not ship to the EU as far as I understand. Does anybody use them/know where to purchase in the EU??

Sounds wow! Please tell me this would be C8 generation?

Hi, if talking of the current Gelandewagen - not sure if there are any, but in general our G-klasse has portal hubs https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-27039/OleJka/mercedes-benz-g-classe-6x6/#details

TLG the same time has a way more employees the CaDa I suppose and a separate independent from each other designers team for each theme..

I have messed feelings: - The model is terrific with it's attention to details and design, no doubds - Costs just a bit less than original lego supercars (not in official TLG stores) - For me it's very sad this is not a TLG. Why? Because this is the moment when 3rd party companies (Ok, CaDa already is not a 3rd aprty company, but a Name on the market) became producing sets that are better than TLG ones, IMO.

Am I right that this is an officially licensed model? And I wonder do they have only MB or both MB and AMG license??

Haha, indeed this is a very good indicator of manuals' quality :)

So this is a matter of a taste

Don't you think this change will make building process from much more complex to impossible? Especiallly for complex MOCs

I have hte opinion, no, the statistics that customers do not prefer heavy equipment but supercars - that's the reason TLG produces too much of them Me as you can notice based on my mocs is a fan of heavy equipment. I bought zero sets of 2025 modelyear, but purchased recently o McLaren P1 set - tradition and collecting, nothing more.

@Jeroen Ottens Hello, still have a dream to see this project finished. Was it abandoned or is it still in a long-term backlog?

Thank you! How about this one? :)

Neither did I until saw it alive :) Thanks! 1. Independent endless slewing, no wires twisting, no additional battery box on chassis. 2. Experimenting and learning something new. Despite the fact that I know that real heavy machinery use one hydro motor per track and subtractor technology is obsolete. Appreciate questions, thank you guys!

I think for me I can descibe nowadays lego technic in one phrase - excessive monotony of sets

Thanks Milan, appreciate! But I'm afraid something went wrong again this time and the post was not published ... I'm experimenting and trying somethimg new :) My favourite feature here is that the boom extension winch motor is synchronized with another motor which rotates motorcycle wheels with hoses on it But I'm not sure I've properly dscribed this in video or renders - my bad

Hello Dear Eurobrickers! Let me introduce my latest MOC Casagrande C400XP2 (yeap, like that world famous drummer Eloy!) This is Italian hydraulic crawler machine. On summer I saw the real machine 10 mins from my home, so simply this inspired me to build it out of Lego! The model is RC, has 9 motors, 3500 parts and weights approx 3,8 Kg Chassis has no motors inside, subtractor both motors are located in the superstructure. All in all there are 7 motors in the superstructure and 2 more are on the boom. All photos & brenders: https://bricksafe.com/pages/Aleh/casagrandec400xp2 Building instructions are already awailable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-237607/OleJka/casagrande-c400xp2/#details Thank you for watching!

Oh, how I missed this! Both the idea and implamantation is funny and original! Welldone!

Hey, indeed the car is great and recognizble! These 3rd party wheels add a lot to the whole view! Colour choice is beautiful!

Well, I'd avoid 10 Euro no-name set of components. But more or less known chinese brands also cost something. Luckily, less than TLG ones.

Who we? I do not think that refusing from the obsolete ancient IR technilogy was a mistake, imo. The mistake is that the replacement in the face of PU requeres smartphone, can not be adjustable by default etc
