Then why do most of the sets only drive and steer? -
Adult rating, adult prices. Doesn't mean an adult set.
-
No, TLG has me covered there. The steering bug, for one.
-
You really should.
-
That was noted in Sariel's review.
-
Well, they won't. Screen time is too valuable.
-
PF is a perfectly functional and innovative system that could be integrated in a multitude of setups such as mechanical attachments, transmissions, and pneumatic compressors. C+ is simply a gimmick designed to capitalize on screen time.
-
They're both Technic sets. That's basis enough for comparison. And PF is far superior in terms of customisation and flexibility. Look at 8275 and compare it to... this.
-
The C+ hub is already unwieldy; a six-port hub would be massive.
-
And your point?
-
Ugh, I'm wading in again, aren't I? Sigh. At least 42070's functions work at a decent speed. Plus it has a better gearbox and it isn't reliant on an app.
-
42128.
-
Since TLG is skimping out on B-models, I'm not surprised he had the time to work on two sets.
-
Sariel's review is live.
-
Squee! Doin' the excited dance.
-
It's £420, actually.
-
Not gonna lie, I will feel ripped off if nobody does that with the CAT on the 10th.
-
True. If the Lambo got printed parts, then throwing in a couple for this £420 set should be a given. EDIT: Just reread your post; sorry, but even I think this approach would be logistically excessive.
-
Some parts, like the square panels, would not look good with printing. It would be great if the D11 logos at the top of the panels on the engine were printed, though. Same with the CAT logo on the tile atop the grill.
-
I'd say it would be for the CAT as well. To paraphrase Superintendent Chalmers: "What's the point of having a CAT if you can't show it off?"
-
Was the sticker sheet usable this time?
-
I'm not really a car person but this is pretty accurate, and quite attractive.

Looking forward to seeing 'em! -
Looks like the front tyres are rubbing against the chassis when at full steer.
-
Not to mention the fact that there's no clutch gear to protect the motor in case of oversteer. As the model uses the 42124 C+ profile, I'm not sure whether or not that would be a factor.
