    I'm going to buy multiples of this, one for me, one for the parts, and several as gifts. If for no other reason, buy this to prove to Lego that this is the way to go! Compact sets with lots of function at an affordable price! The gigantomania with huge hollow structures and almost no functionality must stop. I wont be buying the Mc Larren F1 for the same reason. A license and an empty shell is not want I look for in technic. Keep that for the racers series.

      Yeah, I think that licenced sets are an unfortunate result of Lego catering to their own needs and the needs of other companies first and consumers second. It may give both companies a fresh bit of exposure, but inflated price tags only harms the consumer and turns them off buying your product. I miss the days when technic sets were all completely original.

    Had a similar feeling after the reveal. Really glad it didn't disappoint, and the chainsaw is such a great inclusion. Side note. Stripped down, and repurposed this would make for a fantastic base for a minifig 6x6 APC. Having built one previously with a technic/brick based chassis, this is much better thought out/stable, and the suspension perfect.

    The 2 cylinder is a boxer, not a flat, or inline. It means the cylinders move in direct opposition to each other, or placed opposite to each other. I did a bad job of explaining it, but you get the idea. It can theoretically conserve more energy due to the centrifugal force of one piston “pushing” the other. It also acts as sort of a flywheel, making it easier to keep revvs up. It sounds good too.

    Well it's at least the best Technic set of 1H2022 as far as we know. It even has a tailgate and cargo, something that was apparently too expensive for the John Deere trailer to incorporate.

  • @TheRealFeechLaManna

    I like this. I dislike when the sets require Bluetooth or some app, because it takes the timelessness away from LEGO. In 20 years there is no Bluetooth and the apps won't work with the OS of the time, so the sets will be useless, ruined. Sets like this, all manual and analogue, that is what LEGO should be! I did buy the Speed Champ Koenigsegg but have not build it, but other than that, this will be my first Technic set!

    • @ghdesign_
      @ghdesign_ 2 роки тому

      Exactly. I hate how the Control+ system drives up the price so much, while also removing a lot of the manual/unique functions from the build. Its why I like my 42082 Rough Terrain Crane (Big Red) so much. It uses a single motor for functions but everything is hand controlled on the model with a huge gearbox selector. Its amazing how many functions they were able to pack into a model while using only one motor, and if it were released as a Control+ set, the price would nearly be double what it was.

    • @bami2
      @bami2 Рік тому +1

      You have a great point about just fully mechanical lego sets being great since you don't need some external device to control it, but I don't think the situation is so dire that you describe.
      Bluetooth is so ubiquitous, I don't think there won't be a way to use it 20 years down the road. Think of it like printer or vga ports, those are already nearing 40 years old and there are plenty of ways to get those connected to modern systems.
      And the apps? Lego has published the specifications of the communications protocol used in the hubs, I wrote my own app that can control powered up hubs no problems and there is no reason why this program can't run in 20 years, either using emulation or some kind of compatibility layer.
      Just looking at how 3rd party support is for the old RCX command bricks and how lego now has way more support for 3rd party developers, I really don't think you need to worry about the sets being completely useless or ruined.

    Quite nice model, but for me the highlight of technic 2022 still is the small motorcycle. Also the older big cars (8880, 8865) had correct gears, but technic was different back then...

  • @krysmun
    @krysmun 2 роки тому +2

    the only issue I have with how this suspension works is the fixed pivot. There's no actual up & down for the vehicle, just side to side. If it jumped from a flat ramp onto a flat surface there'd be no suspension in play, all the force would just be applied to where the axle pivots. I have sets that have individual wheel suspension that allow for both side-to-side AND vertical shock absorption. And I can't see it being too hard to apply it to THIS set too. Otherwise, I'd look for this set in stores for sure. Until then though, I'd wait till someone else figures out how to modify the suspension to allow the axles to move up & down as well as rotate.

    Not sure if the BMW M1000RR gearbox is a mistake because the bike was designed more as a track bike compared with the S1000RR, and track bikes usually come with inverted shift for better ground clearance when shifting mid corner.
    The lego set only comes with 3 gears and with 1 neutral in the middle, so it might be an “it’s a feature not a bug” situation.

For each pair I’m gonna have a Torsten differential, but for the differentials between the pairs (like a differential on the drive train between the first and second pair, and a differential on the drive train between the second and third pair), what should I use? Two locking differentials that I manually lock remotely? Or another two Torsen differentials so I don’t have to add any more motors?

    Hi Balázs, I am still new to the Lego technic, just got passion to build a few sets, this was the 3rd for me and I really enjoyed all of them. I have a question about the extra parts, till now I had every time more extra parts left after I built the sets, after each phase I got some of them but for example in this set I got others left like you, is this normal? Should i double check every single step if I was missing something? p.s. I really enjoy your videos, they inspired me to buy the sets that I own(ford f150, transformation vehicle and this) This was the most difficult for me and the most exciting as well.

    Great video! All the little chainsan jokes...whenever ANY set has a chainsaw, it’s an instant winner! Why? Because it’ll just SHRED the competition! 🤣🤣 Anyway, I agree with you, this is a fantastic, pure Technic set! If someone can make it RC, then the cool and fun factor would be through the roof, although you have VERY limited space in there, you’ll have to place the battery in the bed, and maybe get rid of a function or two, but I’ve seen designers make small sets RC!

    Wow, this is great! BTW, I am intrested in the lego technic mclaren senna gtr and the lego technic ducati. I wanted to know which one were more worth it and how long does it take to build. Please answer me in this.

      I suggest to watch my reviews and you can decide yourself, I won't know all your personal preferences. I cannot help with the build time, I make a review while I'm building so there's no point of measuring the whole process.

    Some vehicles are great to become technic models and some are not. This all terrain vehicle not only looks beautiful but the functionality and detail are worthy of a technic set. I'm sorry but the technic supercars are not that nice looking to me and for the price of those sets, I expect more in the design and look aspect. If you can marry technic style and creator expert style for the supercar models not only will the car look real good external design wise (Technic supercars look like skeletons if you know what I mean) you also get the mechanical details as well. This is just my opinion. Great video and I can't wait for your John Deer tractor technic video as that is another beautiful technic model that is being released soon.

    so if it’s not a quad, is it a hex?
