Cada, Cobi, Reobrixx, BlueBrixx, Mould Kings, ALDI..the list goes on. LEGO has some more and more serious competitors, and I am happy to see them get more exposure. Meanwhile, LEGO ups the prices and uses stickers in their 400 usd sets. They are the largest manufacturer of tires in the world, yet can not make a wider tire for their Formula One rear wheels. Again, the list goes on. Thank you for this exciting and interesting video!
Hi Gold Pill Will, I agree, I think some competition in the 'building product toys' space is a healthy thing. As long as of course we don't have companies blatantly making poor quality exact copies of Lego sets, like we did back in the bad old days with 'Lepin'. I do still feel very wary about these alternate companies due to that dark past, but I like CaDa's approach to supporting talented MOC designers so it's why I'm open to buying, building and featuring their sets on my channel. As always, happy building to you! Cheers, Simon
@@RetiredFireCaptain Hi there, you are in luck! CaDa have recently released a non-motorized version of this model, it's the version that is blue. Have a look at the Master Series models on their website and you will see it. 🙂
Excellent review. I had the same grey pin issue with the Ferrari model. I think that this problem is still tp be remedied. I hope CaDa sort this out.. Otherwise looks stunning. Oh yeah, the Ferrari tyre treads are directional, nice touch.
Thanks! + that is good to know re the Ferrari model, thanks for letting me know. I bought the yellow version but I've not built it yet. When I do that build I'll buy up lots of Lego equivalent pins in advance to make sure that build goes smoothly. Ps I contacted CaDa to let them know about this issue and they said they've notified their production manager, hopefully they sort this out for future sets.
@Tadeusz12 - Hi Tadeusz12. I just checked the Hypercar's instruction booklets. There are 109 qty. 2L with axles pins (Lego part #11214) and 177 qty. 1L with axle pins (Lego part #43093). If I was building this again from scratch I would replace ALL of those pins with the Lego equivalents to get the best possible end result. All of the other CaDA pin types in my case were good. + two more tips. CaDa provide 3L pins in black in box #4, you can use these at any time in your build. I recommend that when you are building any sections for the front lip/bumper of the model, rear and the top air wing/spoiler - that you use these black pins versus the regular blue coloured 3L pins. Also I had a lot of pins and some random parts left over, don't be surprised by this.
@@CraftedBricks Thank you Simon. The Ferrari kit also had spares, i noticed replacement metal parts in respect of steering joints. i assume too much torque produced and plastic snaps. I can send pictures if you need them.
No problem at all, I'm happy to help! Thanks for the offer of photos for the Ferrari, but it is ok. I'm likely not going to build that model till next year, I need to refocus my builds and video work more towards mods & upgrades of current sets as that's what seems to work best for my channel. Luckily I also love to mod so this works well. I'm also working in the background on a new type of content that I'll announce in a few months, it goes hand in hand with a blog site I'm planning to set up. 🙂. Let me know how you go with your build of the Hypercar when you get to it!
It does look cool and I bought one! I just don't have the ~50 or so hours needed to do the build, video work, photography and edit everything together. That said I promised CaDa I'd review their next Super Car from Suhan Ji (same designer as this v12 Hypercar) - it's a Lotus branded super car. I think it may release later on this year!
Good to hear. Have you seen that CaDa has made a set of this model but one that is not motorized and in blue? That could be a good option for you to consider: decadastore.com/products/cada-v12-hypercar-static-version-c64003w?ref=4309666
Hi Chris, yes I completely understand your sentiment. And for me, while I love this set, will keep it and put it on display, my heart and focus will always be with building models with official Lego parts. The high quality of Lego's parts is what make their sets and models built from their line of parts so good!
Excellent video as usual sir. It is a gorgeous model and your "pros" and cons" were well explained. That being said, Technic based sets sure have morphed (if that's a correct term) into 2 things from the old Expert Builder days (Yes, I'm old). The level of detail and accuracy is incredible, but I still like the old school bricks and plates (Lego #8860 is a gem). The V12 Hypercar set has confirmed I'm not too fond of all those white technic panels (again, just me). I'm conflicted to get sets like this and wonder is there any room for modding? I see none.
Hi Zealot777 - great comments and thank you again for your support. Yes these current era Technic sets are very different from the set produced in what I still think is the 'golden era of Technic' during the 80's and early 90's. Like you I love and cherish the #8860, I have one that I built from new parts in my collection and I love it (my childhood original was too beaten up to be display worthy). But that said these newer sets have a place in my heart too as they really are perfected works of art that bring a smile to my face when I look them!
I'm running out of room Simon! This looks a lot better than the recent Lego Ferrari Daytona - its nice but the price has the 1:8 technic tax, the Ferrari tax and I just don't think its as nice as the Sian/Bugatti. Will check this one out.
Hi Regan! Oh yes, I have the 'I'm running out of display space' issue too! This set is certainly worth it. My call though is to replace all of those 2L+axle and 1L+axle pins with Lego equivalents from the get-go, and then this build is magnificent. The design and attention to detail is outstanding. I look forward to seeing this designers next offering!
Really excellent review. I appreciate your attention to detail and that you slowly go over all aspects. I am a longtime Lego fan and love the 1:8 supercar series, but they are fantastically expensive, and realistically, they aren't that difficult. I am sure I could have put the gt3rs or Chiron together at 12 or 13 years old so this set looks like a refreshing challenge. I'm with you insofar that the lack of features isn't a deterrent for me. I would much rather have a well-built, solid display piece for a 1:8 supercar. I have always found a sort of funny parallel between the 1:8 supercar series models and real life... whether you buy a Lamborghini Sian in real life or in Lego form, chances are you aren't going to play with it much - you will just put it on the shelf and admire it's beauty. Cheers from Canada!
What a refreshing and well thought through comment, thank you Nolan! And yes you will definitely find this build, particularly with CaDa's more 'dense' instruction style to be more of a challenging (/involved) build experience versus the Lego 1:8 scale Supercar models. If you do buy this set I would recommend pre-purchasing some Lego 2L+axle pins in Dark Stone Grey, in advance, to have them on hand while you build to swap-in to replace the CaDa pins for that type of pin. As for Supercars, you know what the weird thing is? Even if I had the money to afford one, I wouldn't buy one, they are so impractical! But as you say beautiful to look at and I think appreciate for their engineering excellence! Best wishes to you, cheers, Simon
Really enjoyed your review. Very thorough! I think this model looks great too. I think after watching your review you’ve convinced me to add this to my collection :-). Please keep up these great reviews!
Ah they sold that one out, if you don't have this set yet, and like the CaDa models I recommend picking that one up when it is back in stock. Out of the CaDa sets that I have built, this model is my favourite and I would have opted for the non-motorised version if it was available at the time.
Looks a great model and something to treasure for years to come. I like that it doesn’t have too many gaps in the bodywork and the inside looks more complete, especially the seats.
Hi Simon, I hope you are well! Yes that's one of the things that I really admire about this model. The designer has clearly thought through every connection, detail and part use to achieve the best possible result with this system of parts. Examples of this are the particularly well finished dashboard and side-well areas of the model; they are just beautiful!
Great video as always. I love how CaDa is supporting brick fans which puts really much work into their MOCS, by giving them the opportunity to show thei epic work!
Absolutely Fenolly! And as you can no doubt tell from the video Suhwan has absolutely nailed the design for this model, I'm looking forward to seeing his next design!
Can this car be pushed around without using the motors? I really don't like the RC functions, but even with them in, can it be pushed around without there being some drag from the motors on the inside?
Hi Mariano, no unfortunately this model cannot be manually pushed around, the motors are locked if they are not powered up. for me this does not bother me as to me this really is a model to enjoy building and then put on display. I will be building CaDa's new Ferrari model very soon and featuring it on the channel in April. That one does not have motors so you can push it around if you want to. Have a superb week!
Way cool! I know absolutly nothing about lego, but this looks sick. And for $100 WOW WOW... lego bugati way more expensive... unless somesones a collector of lego specifically people should look into this.. Ps can bugati drive around like the one for cada?
Hi Gb J - this Cada sets is about $240 USD not $100, but that ok and yes it's cheaper than the Lego Technic Bugatti. As to your question the Lego Technic Bugatti is not motorised so you can't drive it around - but that's actually ok as these large Technic Super Cars are best suited to be display models and not for play. All the best! Simon
@@CraftedBricks okay gotcha. I think the $100 one was something i saw on their website. Maybe not this same one. But will look into them and always nice to have options 🙂
Thank you I really appreciate that! I typically only build and review the larger Master Series models from Cada. My latest is this (ua-cam.com/video/Hj--rufQRXc/v-deo.html) did you see it?
Did you see my replies to your other comments? These sort of videos take looooong time to make so I've no plans to build and review another one of the CaDa Master Series cars right now. But I'll probably take on on sometime in 2024. Cheers, Simon
Hi Matthew - this model is 60 cm long, 26cm wide and approx 14 cm high. As you saw in the video it is of the same scale and sizing as Lego's line-up of supercars. I hope this helps! Cheers, Simon
Agreed! ...and it's the reason I'm ok to buy and feature CaDa models on my channel - they are actively supporting talented MOC designers by bringing their creations (licensed) to us at an affordable price!
Funniest thing is .... Lego is way more expensive than CADA and you get a better model also electronics as well :D if this sin't enough proof that you shouldn't give your money to lego i don't know what it is...
Hi Masz, this is definitely a superb and well designed model. And I plan to feature another CaDa super car on the channel soon, I'm a fan. But that said I still think Lego produced sets are the gold standard for quality, in terms of their parts and finish and fit. And their system of parts is what I prefer and stick to for building MOCs and custom models. Thanks for commenting and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. : )
@@CraftedBricks gold standard for more than gold prices here in eastern urope they almost tripled the price of the same line one generation to the next what was basically 50 ish dollar set that now costs aronud 85 I'm not giving them any money if they are this scummy...
Hi Victor - I'm not sure this is available in blue. But best you reach out to the designer Suhwan via Instagram, he may know! instagram.com/jmt_lego_automobil/?hl=en
@@victortai7987 - Hi Victor, no mods required! It's incredibly well designed. But you would be well placed to buy a whole stack of those Lego 2L pins with axle parts to replace the CaDa parts. I can't recall how many you'll need. Maybe ~100 to be safe?
Sounds good, note CaDa now have a non-motorized version of this model. Check their site, it's the blue coloured one. Remember to use my coupon code to get 5% off!
@aliant04 - I think the newer static version is the best option. It's slightly cheaper than the motorised version too. Yes very much worth it, I think that V12 Hypercar is the best of the CaDa models that I've built! Code is CADA5%CraftedBricks
@@CraftedBricksI love your reviews! I ordered this set and have one quick question. Do you recommend replacing any of the technic pieces with Lego pieces? If so, can you please let me know which ones? Want to be ready to build when it comes. Thanks and keep up the awesome reviews!
@@willmay8319 - Hi Will did you see the part in the video were I say there was an issue with CaDa's 1L axle with 2L pin parts? I recommend you order the equivalent Lego part ahead of your build, the Lego part number is: 11214, in Dark Stone Grey. I can't tell you how many to order exactly as I don't have the instructions for this build anymore. But if you have other projects and don't mind having spares, maybe ordering 100 in advance could help? I can't tell you whether you will have too many or be short, but I think using the Lego parts for the seats and some other key areas of the bodywork where those parts are needed, and CaDa's pins of that type for the main structure will be ok. All the best with this build it is a lovely model, I still have mine on display and I'm looking forward to the next set CaDA release from this designer.
Hi Mic, well spotted! I omitted the tan coloured pins as they do not look good and are visually distracting. It seems that as long as the model is not being moved around the friction of the pins used for the door hinges is enough to keep them open.
Hi Alvin - I pretty sure they only have the one RC version. But that said to me this has been designed to be a display model, so if you did decide to buy and build it you would be a-ok with the build and just having it as a display piece.
@@CraftedBricks Hi Simon, thanks for the reply. The reason I'm asking is that I know the Ferrari in the Cada's master series has an RC and non-RC version and the non-RC one is significantly cheaper. That's disappointing because I don't want to pay for the batteries and motor if it's just going to sit on my shelf as a display piece.
@@aalvinng - I fully understand and I have the non RC Ferrari too which was my preferred option versus the motorised set. The kicker with this Hypercar is that the 2x buggy motors are deeply integrated into the chassis itself and provide support and structure to the center area of the model. Let's hope that Suwan's next Supercar is released with a non-RC option!
@@CraftedBricks I would love to see you review the rest of the master series cars if you have them. (Ferrari, Lamborghini Centenario or the new Jesko released this year)
The Lambo & Ferrari are on my 'to-do' list for sure. The problem is they are time consuming builds and the video & photography work is also difficult & lengthy. I have to do some serious thinking on 'how' to continue to make interesting and helpful content for the channel for next year but in ways that is less of a time load. Re the Centenario I have that model ...sitting in a box!
Very proffesional review! This model is definetly a good inspiration to MOC builders like me. Enjoyed the review very much, you have a new sub right here!
Hi there! Does it have a gearbox inside? Such like McLaren 720S have. Cannot choose which one to buy as I want both electric drive and gearbox in one car)
@@toslave29 - Thanks again Gede! I do put a lot of work into these videos, so it always really uplifting to hear from people who like and appreciate them. All the best to you, cheers, Simon
I know I know. But you know not what you ask! Hahaha. It is a MONSTER of a build exercise and will involve painting some of the parts which is something I've never attempted. As so many people have asked about it however, it is on my mind so perhaps I will at least get onto organising the parts as a first step in the right direction.
@@CraftedBricks ah ok. I just finished my discovery and the entire time I was saying no way and giggling like a child. Probably the most fun I've ever had with a lego set. I wanna do it eventually
@@buddybonbutt7510 - that's so good to hear - you'll have to do the tail-fin mod to complete it though. And guess what!? SecretSquirelBricks has just published a video on the Shuttle booster upgrades. I'll be doing a proper base for my build, and the orange coloured fuel tank - but his video will give you an idea of what's to come! ua-cam.com/video/PiD4IMLtyEM/v-deo.html&ab_channel=SecretSquirrelBricks

Hi Gold Pill Will, I agree, I think some competition in the 'building product toys' space is a healthy thing.

@aliant04 - I think the newer static version is the best option. It's slightly cheaper than the motorised version too. Yes very much worth it, I think that V12 Hypercar is the best of the CaDa models that I've built! Code is CADA5%CraftedBricks
@@CraftedBricksI love your reviews! I ordered this set and have one quick question. Do you recommend replacing any of the technic pieces with Lego pieces? If so, can you please let me know which ones? Want to be ready to build when it comes. Thanks and keep up the awesome reviews!
@@willmay8319 - Hi Will did you see the part in the video were I say there was an issue with CaDa's 1L axle with 2L pin parts? I recommend you order the equivalent Lego part ahead of your build, the Lego part number is: 11214, in Dark Stone Grey. I can't tell you how many to order exactly as I don't have the instructions for this build anymore. But if you have other projects and don't mind having spares, maybe ordering 100 in advance could help? I can't tell you whether you will have too many or be short, but I think using the Lego parts for the seats and some other key areas of the bodywork where those parts are needed, and CaDa's pins of that type for the main structure will be ok. All the best with this build it is a lovely model, I still have mine on display and I'm looking forward to the next set CaDA release from this designer.
Seem like u didnt put in the 5 axle pin to the door. How u manage to keep it open?
Hi Mic, well spotted! I omitted the tan coloured pins as they do not look good and are visually distracting. It seems that as long as the model is not being moved around the friction of the pins used for the door hinges is enough to keep them open.
@@CraftedBricks i see. But it dont seem the same case for me without the pin, the door wont be able to stay open
Do they sell a non-RC version of this set?
Hi Alvin - I pretty sure they only have the one RC version. But that said to me this has been designed to be a display model, so if you did decide to buy and build it you would be a-ok with the build and just having it as a display piece.
@@CraftedBricks Hi Simon, thanks for the reply. The reason I'm asking is that I know the Ferrari in the Cada's master series has an RC and non-RC version and the non-RC one is significantly cheaper. That's disappointing because I don't want to pay for the batteries and motor if it's just going to sit on my shelf as a display piece.
@@aalvinng - I fully understand and I have the non RC Ferrari too which was my preferred option versus the motorised set. The kicker with this Hypercar is that the 2x buggy motors are deeply integrated into the chassis itself and provide support and structure to the center area of the model. Let's hope that Suwan's next Supercar is released with a non-RC option!
@@CraftedBricks I would love to see you review the rest of the master series cars if you have them. (Ferrari, Lamborghini Centenario or the new Jesko released this year)
The Lambo & Ferrari are on my 'to-do' list for sure. The problem is they are time consuming builds and the video & photography work is also difficult & lengthy. I have to do some serious thinking on 'how' to continue to make interesting and helpful content for the channel for next year but in ways that is less of a time load. Re the Centenario I have that model ...sitting in a box!
Very proffesional review! This model is definetly a good inspiration to MOC builders like me. Enjoyed the review very much, you have a new sub right here!
Thank you Alexandru both for you comments and sub! Beautiful work btw on the video for your v8 Daemoni MOC.
Hi there! Does it have a gearbox inside? Such like McLaren 720S have. Cannot choose which one to buy as I want both electric drive and gearbox in one car)
Hi Alexander - no this model does not have a gearbox. It is direct drive via the RC motors. I hope this helps!
@@CraftedBricks definitely! Helped so much! Thank you, pal!
Great video mate 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! I really appreciate that : )
@@CraftedBricks i really like the way you explain everything. This is what i call underrated.
@@toslave29 - Thanks again Gede! I do put a lot of work into these videos, so it always really uplifting to hear from people who like and appreciate them. All the best to you, cheers, Simon
First
Is this the Apollo intensa emozione
I think so yes, you can see the designers work and more on this model here: instagram.com/jmt_lego_automobil?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==
DISCOVERY MOC!!! Please! Lol
I know I know. But you know not what you ask! Hahaha. It is a MONSTER of a build exercise and will involve painting some of the parts which is something I've never attempted. As so many people have asked about it however, it is on my mind so perhaps I will at least get onto organising the parts as a first step in the right direction.
@@CraftedBricks ah ok. I just finished my discovery and the entire time I was saying no way and giggling like a child. Probably the most fun I've ever had with a lego set. I wanna do it eventually
@@buddybonbutt7510 - that's so good to hear - you'll have to do the tail-fin mod to complete it though. And guess what!? SecretSquirelBricks has just published a video on the Shuttle booster upgrades. I'll be doing a proper base for my build, and the orange coloured fuel tank - but his video will give you an idea of what's to come!

@@CraftedBricks awesome. I saw someone made the base, fuselage, boosters, base with the umbilical lift and EVEN THE CRAWLER. I need all of it.
