The fiber optics did make several comebacks after its 1996 debut: in some Minstorms sets from 1998, Spybotic sets from 2002 and Exo-Force sets from 2006, however the later ones were simplified/cost-effective versions with just one fiber and no rotating light element.
Track tensioning in tanks (and construction machines) is "manual", pumped hydraulics to change the sag on the track. This is important to prevent slippage which would occur if the tension was done with a spring (ie automated) in the new CAT. So in fact, the lego CAT is realistic, as it would suffer the same problem as a real tracked machinery if the tensioning was done with a "spring".
@@Unbrickme Old UK (and German) driving license allowed you drive all sorts of things, but tracked vehicles was not included as how to drive is completely different: brake-steer.
From my POV, the 2 speed winch on the tracked loader is because of force balancing. The faster speed if for pulling the winch out to what needs to be winched, or retracted after use. The slower speed is for pulling under load, since you can pull heavier stuff with the same force on lower gearing, just that you'll need to apply it for longer to cover the same distance. In short, the higher speed is for setting/packing up the winch, and the lower for actually using it
6:30 that poor 9v cable Also the fiber optic bits i got in one of my lego system sets is one i enjoyed almost as much as the motors, you can just add so many cool things like a KITT style led bar.
@@Unbrickme I am looking for the best prices to get the most bricks and motors with bluetooth xD based on this video ai think that the best idea is to buy number 1 set or number 2 but the second set has less bricks and is only 50% cheaper. Not much. I need cost efficient sets xD anyway I think 42114 Volvo is the best. The calibartion of the pad with motors that is a huuge problematic topic tough I think
the cat d11 should not have schock absorbers. they have no such thing in real life and in order to adjust tension you have to pump a ram with grease manually. it is quite realistic.
Sorry newbie here started building this year and have about 8 technic 2 creators 2 ideas sets. Could someone please help me with some websites/forums etc that are good for buying retired sets sealed. And just fun things.
Bricklink is the best place to buy old sealed LEGO, eBay is good too but it’s usually more expensive. Mercari is a good option too but it has mostly new and currently available sets, old sets are rarely available on mercari

Oh nice, thanks for letting me know

Damn, old lego technic sets just look much better in terms of functionality.
Agreed
They are also actually legos

Unbrickme: The older Technic cars are far superior to the newer ones.

3:00 off-roading vehicles don’t necessarily have adjustable suspension. It can be modified but not always adjustable.?
6:30 that poor 9v cable

Was it the alien spaceship?
@@Unbrickme yes, with the micro motor
where I can buy this cable?
Isn’t there that adjustable shock absorber that you featured in a previous video? That was used in a motorcycle for adjustable suspension
Yep, that definitely would’ve been included if this were a top 10
@@Unbrickme you said only one set had an adjustable suspension
@@curtischase6904 I was referring to motorized adjustable suspension
@@Unbrickme ah I see
Hey nice video
I had two video suggestions
Top (n) best 10$ sets and top (n) bad sets that were underpriced
Can u pls make videos on these two topics
Interesting topics!
Thank you dude
I hope fiber optics will come back someday. Enjoyed the video, thank you!
Same, and thank you very much
could you do a lego collection video?
Good idea, maybe I’ll do something like that in the future
could you make a top 5 of most disappointing sets? (Example: 42129 a ““4x4”” that can hardly climb anything,, 42126 a Ford Raptor rwd, etc.)
Great idea
Very nice video, good job!
(Maybe you could eventually do a part 2)
Would you say that getting a used 8455 for $160 would be a good deal?
Thanks. It really depends on the condition of the set, if it’s complete, comes with box and instructions, etc
Speaking about that speed transmission gearbox for the winch can u do Lego Technic with strange functions?
I have the tracked loader, it’s actually a pretty amazing set
Nice
Every time I see the old lego tires... I- it’s sad... I miss the old tires...
Congrats on reaching 16k subscribers! you were at 15.2k when I subscribed around two months ago!
Thank you so much for your continued support
I think it's gearboxes in 2021 lower end sets
I miss the Lego scanner truck.
Why is the alternate model of 42054 not a combine harvester
Can you make a video regarding bluetooth Control? Which set Has the necessary parts and how to connect PlayStation or Xbox pad?
Sounds like an interesting idea. Bluetooth control is possible with the main technic hub (costs $90) and any powered up motor

Отличное видео! Но, вы возможно забыли о дистанционно управляемой коробке передач, которая была (вроде бы) только в двух наборах: 8043 и 42114.
Спасибо! Ещё эта функция есть в бульдозере 42131. Может быть надо было рассказать про эту функцию в видео.
Да, спасибо что напомнили)
I think i have that fiberoptic thing that spins, I thinks its from some old alien space craft my aunt gave me 16 years ago
Should i get the lego technic tow truck 42128 or the lego technic land rover?
42128
@@Unbrickme thank you

The most functions in Lego Technic is HOGS👌
lego technic 2022 set list thoughts next!
I have the backhoe loader and it is amazing
Nice
The farrari from (i think) last year since the rarest function is no function at all
request: reviewing set 45345
Damn, I missed out on the tracked loader
Same
42102 has no crab steering...
I like how he says legendary
epok video 😱👌
Thanks
i forgor 💀
Well... I got none of the functions, but I got one set right! Also, it's so strange to come and see a number of view with only 2 digits...
I have one kit of these fiber optic (:

Hi!
Enzo Ferrari ... Just (re) built it a couple days ago. The door opening mechanism is unmatched tbh...
Nice
Whoa first
Congratulations
Hi
Hello there
2nd?

Yo
This video is crap . Just ideas and pictures of boxes.
Thank you very much for your feedback. Is there anything specifically I can improve? Less pictures and more actual video?
You have problems?
