Control+ is full of dead ends. Another one just fits. All that PF needed was Bluetooth. Was cheap, easy to use and had physical remotes.

I made a small comparison. Thoughts?

Ekhm, @Milan ?

Try to buy something related to C+/PUp at LEGO. com. They quietly killed it, only 42172 has C+ onboard, and that's just a all-in-one block :)

Looks cool, especially with real one in the background. Yet your model looks like it's off with proportions of the cab. Do you have more side/front pictures?

At least Control+ died.

JCB Fastrac (42199 Monster Jam DIGatron Pull-Back) Small category: Helicopter (42201 Deep-Sea Research Submarine) Medium category:

From water into air! Featuring main rotor tilt by lever between landing skids: Main and tail rotor drive trough a crank. Openable cockpit: Goes nicely with 42198 :) More pictures: https://bricksafe.com/pages/M_longer/42201-alt/helicopter Instructions: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-205967/M_longer/42201-helicopter/#details Video:

HTML tags will not work anymore?

I have found out earlier, like posted here: I just did not posted them here, both were shown January 2nd (just forgot about this topic...) https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-204661/M_longer/42199-fastrac/?spot=designer_mocs&t=1737309269&cs=3943 https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-205967/M_longer/42201-helicopter/?spot=designer_mocs&t=1737309269&cs=a09b

Do the models shown after contest was started count towards the rule and can be submissioned?

There are no baseplates in the set.

I have finally managed to take pictures on snow :) More here: https://bricksafe.com/pages/M_longer/42177-alt/unimog-u5000

I hope that Control+ will die and LEGO will introduce something with physical remotes again.

Yes. That full pin connection comes from overal geometry of system parts. 2 liftarms are thick as 5 plates stacked, so half liftarm is 1,25 plate thick, but thanks to groves it can be attached to 3/4 pins. Plates never had recession for pins to click inside.

LEGO is quetly killing Control+, maybe we will see something new in August.

What about Fastrac? ;) https://www.instagram.com/p/DD1yeDLsvDM/

Sounds like something for me :)

Dont' worry, it might be last :) LEGO sells last Powered Up parts on sale lately, C+ motors were discontinued too.

Those propellers should spin faster, but due to placing of universal joint, t20 gear does not fit there :(

How is it possible that LEGO sends those sets to creators who barely have followers? O_o

It wa supposed to be released year erlier. And it's a design disaster.
