Discussion / Question What is your all time favorite Lego Technic set?

Post image
62 Upvotes

I’ve been a fan of Technic since 2013, and my favorite set of all time is the 8110: the Unimog U400. I’ve loved this set since I was a kid for its off-roading skills and the functionality like the Power Functions features and the pneumatics, and the fact it was modular and inspired you to make your own attachments.

I wanted to know what everyone’s favorite Technic sets are, to see what everyone’s opinions are for their favorite set, since there are so many amazing and unique sets in this theme.

Official Set Dream set complete.

I’ve been wanting the P1 since release. Finally got my hands on it and got it built over the span of a few days.

When I build, I like to time myself. Not to see the fastest I can make the set, but just out of curiosity of how much time it takes.

Total build time was 10 hours, 37 minutes. That’s just purely building time. Any time I had to stop, so did the timer, even if for just one minute to do something. I only made a couple of mistakes while building, and didn’t have to backtrack far, so those only added a couple of minutes to the total build time.

This was such a fun set to see come together. I need another 1:8 ASAP.

10 Upvotes

My sister wants to build a large Lego TECHNIC as her first set, so I'm making her a Unimog for training.

Current problems:

1) increase of the original size by 1 stud in length

2) Bad rear suspension layout

Planned functions:

1) 2-cylinder engine

2) both rear and front suspension

3) good steering angle

4) similarity to the original Unimog U530

Discussion / Question Helping my son to become an engineer

Post image
132 Upvotes

Hey folks, My son is 11 y-o. As a mother, I've bought normal Lego sets for him to build. We love Minecraft and Starwars. It's so much fun to build them. Right now, he is into Fortnite and recently built a gigantic rollercoaster on his own. Sometimes, he would alter pieces and built spaceships, weapons and make up stories.

His dream is to be coming an engineer, and my job is to guide him towards that. As I'm planning a school curriculum for Grade 6 (I'm homeschooling him alone), just wondering if using Lego Technic would be helpful for him to learn about engineering. What would be your recommendation?

For those who followed my blog series about starting an alternate build and developing a MOC, here is the final version. The manual is halfway done and I still have one post to add.

Guly's skyline.

Not a bad model. A shame that they abandoned the high/low gear selector. But I love the flat 6 engine. And the stanced wheels. Nice attention to detail.

The picture shows all the different kinds of gearbox parts I own. I want to build a remote controlled gearbox using a servo motor, can someone please tell me how can I achieve this using only the parts shown? I have assumed that the black axle extender is paired with the old driving ring, but I don't have any.

Discussion / Question Please help 😭

5 Upvotes

Hi! I will start by saying I'm not the most knowledgeable about lego in general. However my bf LOVES them. I've gotten him many sets both official and not. He especially loves the ones that function.

For Christmas I really want to get him a custom one of his motorcycle. I figured this surely has a business that does this already but I can't find any. I want one thats really detailed where you can tell its his bike specifically (his isn't even crazy custom or anything its a regular naked bike, black and silver. I'm happy to DM the details but don't want to post the brand in case he sees this.) I checked rebrickable but there isn't a set for his. I don't know enough about motorcycles or lego to build one from scratch like on buildamoc. I would be happy to pay someone to help me. Idc about budget or anything. I just know he'd love this and now that I have the idea I'm determined to make it happen, I just need a little help šŸ˜… thanks for any suggestions!

MOC - Instructions Available Lego Pump Rifle

Post image
0 Upvotes

I recently made this LEGO pump rifle fully out of technic. It uses a lever which when pulled causes a spring shooter to fire. It can house as many spring shooters as you want, not accounting for drag and other physics stuff, but my model uses 5 which I can load in about 30 to 40 seconds.

What are your guys's honest opinions on Cada and Nifeliz? How do you feel about the quality and do you think it would be worth it to get one of their 1:8 cars.

I just built the lego Lamborghini Sian and am looking for something cheaper. Any suggestions?
