For the new gears it's also about the shape of the teeth being optimised for ideal contact while bevel ones may not do it that perfectly because they need to handle side connections.
My favorite thing about this set is that you can detach the body under 10 seconds as it holds on 4 pins only. And then place other bodywork on top of the tracks or just play witgout body at all.
Do you (or anyone else reading this comment) have a link to any sort of example of this being done? I just acquired this set and fully intend to keep the tracks and drivetrain/motor intact, while redoing one side of it.
I bought my 42095 Stunt Racer a few months ago, and it also came with the matte black tracks, so looks like they changed that not long ago, but not in this set. Great video :)
Great review, very informative. One additional advantage of these tracked vehicles is that, with their smaller turning radius, they are more fun in smaller spaces, like apartments.
I recently bought a flip tank (42140) and I wanted to learn Powered Up programming. I could not find much documentation or examples from Lego. But then I found your "LEGO Powered Up simple code block guide" on your racingbrick website. Thank you !!! I have created my own tank control with 5 buttons. Forward, Reverse, Left, Right and Stop. For example, Forward sets motor A to -30 and motor B to 30 using the TachoMotorSpeed blocks. The tacho feature keeps the tank running straight. Wonderful. Of course, Stop sets both motors to 0. This is much easier than the control with 2 sliders that Lego provides in the CONTROL+ app. I found this almost impossible to control the tank properly. Just going straight was difficult. I also added a turbo button which sets the speed to 60 (fast enough :-) Your guide has so many examples that I am already thinking of improved versions of this simple controller, and many interesting experiments to come. "Tanks" again. Cheers from Canada :-)
Hi Balázs, as always a great presentation of this nice set. You provide us with construction changes which nobody else discovered. I do not like the screws at the hub. Maybe two scres will be enough to keep the cover closed.
Do the regulations say "use 4 screws" Wasn't it easier and more practical to use the same undetachable nails in closed position on one side and 1 screw on the other side...?
I'll add the transformation vehicle will work just fine if you use an old hub (without screws). So if there's any hardware difference, the app isn't checking for it.
Don't care much for treaded Technic vehicles, but Lego I think got it right with this one. May not be as fast as the previous two, but the flip function is fantastic, fun, and each body aesthetic different enough to make both interesting. Still pretty expensive at 180 Canadian, but love to try it on some snowy terrain as there's no shortage of it here.
Great review, as always! I can't help but notice that your build performs a lot slower than the one in Sariel's review. Is there any kind of issue with the motors/power?
I checked his video and don't really see a speed difference. He has many closeup shots where the vehicle seems to be quicker, but if you see the speed in the room or outdoors it is pretty much the same
I really like this set so far and I definitly want to get my hands on it :D It gives me strong Spybotics vibes from 2002 and reminds me on my first Spybot, 3807 Snaptrax S45, and brings my closer to MOC the full Spybotics series for Control+.
Shity smartphone controller. I will never buy such a think, also no longer buwizz. Yes ali express with a normal controller. Its not für children, its for old boring man.
If you look closely at the background of the back of the box, you can see penguins in the background. Which means it is an Antarctic vehicle, not Arctic. 1:09
I still don't like the app. I see how the app can offer some more features and can be used for configuration, but for such a simple modell I would like to get a remote control. And please don't tell I can use a remote control if I do what ever. I want a Lego remote control that connects with the push of a button and is ready to go in no time. This is specially important for children.
Am I the only one whose set got "loose" after a couple of months standing on a tablet? What I mean is that the suspension now barely holds the weight of the vehicle making it drop as soon is it gets a sudden acceleration. In addition to rendering it in a kind of wheelie position and closing the spoiler close when on the blue side, the major problem is that it can't flip anymore since when in down position, the front of the car is longer than the tracks preventing it from climbing on the wall.
I like the flipping design but I don't know about the 'find the fuel cell' minigame. Like changing and recharging all the batteries aren't painful enough already...................
so theey wernt those RC flipping cars where they purposely add a wheel at the back to act as the shock absorbers and rubber band for this set to cut costs
I like the retro idea. It's soo 90s. But I don't like the colors... With this color scheme it's clearly fr kids- but then you have to give your kids a phone... which makes the set nonsense. I like the rubber dots for the tracks. The new gears are interesting, but again, the colors are a disgrace. Again not a set I will ever buy. But thank you for the review, it was great as always!
Thank you for your revirew, Balazs! :) Light Bluish Gray Technic, Shock Absorber 6.5L - Soft Spring has a new spring but I see your sets is with the old one. My 42140 came with the new spring.
Would it be possible to use a non-app based Remote Controller? Like you show for 42139 using Pybricks? What pieces should I get? I'm completely new to this, so I'd appreciate detailed instructions :) Also, would the code require changes? Or perhaps it's been done already but I haven't found it?
I recieved mine a week ago. I'm not happy with the torque power on the motors. I wish lego came out with a adult power functions that you have to sign a waver for. Knowing lego they would make these extreme motors the color pink. Fine... I'll sharpie over it.
Your humour's the best, bro👍🏼...'screwed hub' 😆...and those new pieces will always be called 'toilet paper rolls' too 😋, loved your review, bro 🙏🏼🤗...let's see what the other moc builders have planned for this set too now 👍🏼☺️
I really like this set and the C+ is cool but I'm making only manual models yet, I will buy 42139 Quadbike maybe. I don't like screwed HUB, it's weird for me
I think LEGO just changed another material used for some parts. Half year ago I've got the LEGO 42100 set (the Liebherr) for my 18'th birthday. For some reason there was a 1x2 transparent brick in my track pieces bag, that was counted as a track piece, so I had to order a replacement track part and it also arrived as this new matte plastic, but in gray colour.
I owned a RC vehicle as a kid I think called Fast Trax. Same idea: slam it into any obstacle and it would bounce off or flip over. Of course I drive it off our roof.
The new battery box is even more annoying since the rechargeable battery (# 45612) doesn't seem able to recharge unless the cover is removed. Maybe there will be another way to recharge it??
Just finished the set. Cool looking. I thought the manual was hard to follow and found myself looking forward to see where parts fit. Wish it did not have a bunch of stickers. Can not figure out how to turn off the truck on the app. It takes 6 AA batteries.
I have an idea- Has anyone made a mod of this where it’s a British Mark V tank? I keep seeing the treads and think that someone else must’ve thought the same
@ RacingBrick when do you think you are going to build some LEGO Creator 3 in 1 sets? Because the ones I really want you to build the 31126 Supersonic-jet and the 31127 Street Racer.
You mentioned that we could buy much better RC toys for this price. Do you have any suggestions? I haven't really delved much into what's out there for RC stuff at that price point.
hey! nice vid i wonder if the control hub thing would work with a rechargable battery like li-po's? maybe something smaller? btw are you russian? just wondering as im getting russian man vibes
You need to quit the app, the hub disconnects and then turns off. Alternatively you can long press the green button on the hub (~7s), and then it starts to blink and then turns off.

The "screwed" hub LOL. Great review and definitely changed my mind about picking this up compared to the previous version that I avoided. :)
just put rubber on the 42065 or the 43095s B model and you have way better models with a physical remote...
I bought my 42095 Stunt Racer a few months ago, and it also came with the matte black tracks, so looks like they changed that not long ago, but not in this set. Great video :)
Great review, very informative. One additional advantage of these tracked vehicles is that, with their smaller turning radius, they are more fun in smaller spaces, like apartments.
Based on just the track shape alone, I would love to see some custom LEGO WW1 British Mark V tank builds.
Exactly what I was thinking. Put a video up if you do it.
or a Goliath Tracked Mine. it looks like an almost identical suspension.
Is so similar in orange mod with Mark tanks in world war 1
Great review! Love this style. Quick general focus on new parts, similar sets…
I recently bought a flip tank (42140) and I wanted to learn Powered Up programming. I could not find much documentation or examples from Lego.

"Tanks" again. Cheers from Canada :-)
Greetings. Thank you for your comment re: programming the Powered Up - how are you considering the flip tank these days?
You should add buggy motors and buwizz to this model so it can flip by accelerating
That are very cool
hey racingbrick, i really enjoy your videos! btw im early

I just bought it at £73 from amazon, i hope its worth it :)
I’m very tempted to get this to mod but I just bought the zetros. 2 Lego sets in a month is a bit excessive for me.

I’m going to buy this when I finish middle school and maybe turn it into a ripsaw
👇People with the OG one
Is there enough ground clearance to self-balance on its front or back side? In other words, should we buy one and make an example project? :D
Sure! ;)

@@RacingBrick Ohh! Yeah, seems true. Sariel almost sold me one with his action shots :P
I knew the new tracks looked different! I recently ordered some new tracks from bricklink and they already had the new matt black surface
I really like this set so far and I definitly want to get my hands on it :D
It gives me strong Spybotics vibes from 2002 and reminds me on my first Spybot, 3807 Snaptrax S45, and brings my closer to MOC the full Spybotics series for Control+.
The new gears would be much more ideal than the beveled versions for gearbox construction
Shity smartphone controller. I will never buy such a think, also no longer buwizz. Yes ali express with a normal controller. Its not für children, its for old boring man.
I love those RC sets!
Just picked this up for only £89.99 in Smyths toy shop in the U.K. much better price!
I really loved it, it'll be on my wishlist for sure 🤗😍
Thanks for the amazing review.
If you look closely at the background of the back of the box, you can see penguins in the background. Which means it is an Antarctic vehicle, not Arctic. 1:09
Tourist penguins? 🤔
@@RacingBrick I think the orange side is the Antarctic transporter. Although I like to call it the Antarctic explorer.
than neon yellow is INSANELY bright, thats wild.

The one I built.. well does not want to connect to the app. Frustrating right out of the box. It went into a system update and nothing.

LEGO is still a toy company, despite all the 18+ sets :) If you want more power, there are companies selling those products, like BuWizz
Thanks for the video Balázs! Excelllent job! Again! Your videos always helps me to make a decission that I need a set or not :)
So strange watching this video.. 100% sure I watched it earlier, but uploaded 5 hours ago?.. so strange..
The new gears will help soooo much with perfect tension on chained build!! Hopefully they come in adult colours
Adult colors 💀

How hard would it be to have it remote controller? not stupid app ?

This yellow... I'm blind now... Can't see... Too much lights!
Only been a year, and Lego already retired the set.
I owned a RC vehicle as a kid I think called Fast Trax. Same idea: slam it into any obstacle and it would bounce off or flip over. Of course I drive it off our roof.

reverse the gears engine - transmission for must speed.
I’ve waited for so long! Thanks for finally uploading 😍
Just finished the set. Cool looking. I thought the manual was hard to follow and found myself looking forward to see where parts fit. Wish it did not have a bunch of stickers. Can not figure out how to turn off the truck on the app. It takes 6 AA batteries.
Does the app interface make any sound effects? I really want to hear them. 9:44
Again an interesting review with comments that always serve us. Thanks.
Numero uno
Regulations for a clip lmao
8:08 Glad I’m only getting this set for the 2 motor’s and battery box. And the parts lol
Man, I really miss power functions :(
Nice but even nicer with the 20% you will get in the not so distant future from a third party seller
I have an idea-
Has anyone made a mod of this where it’s a British Mark V tank? I keep seeing the treads and think that someone else must’ve thought the same
Has anyone tried to build this using power functions instead of control plus?
42096 had stickers on both sides of a panel.
What about forklifts or tractors? Are they 123th time a charm?
@ RacingBrick when do you think you are going to build some LEGO Creator 3 in 1 sets? Because the ones I really want you to build the 31126 Supersonic-jet and the 31127 Street Racer.
Don't know, currently i'm pretty busy with moving to our new house
I just built this set and for the wing I just moved it a bit and now wont scratch.
Great review, Can we control the speed ( fast or slow ) ?
sure, you control the speed and the direction with the sliders
i wasn't going to buy it because of that neon yellow but it actually looks and works really good.
Damn dude, you did a better job opening the box then I did.
Can you do a battle between the 42124, 42140 and 42109
Ok
do a appcontrolled dattle
I want to get it and I'm getting it
it would be really fun have a score as a daily driver and a weekend category.
Great revuew again!. Now im very curious to see defender with the new gears
As an easter gift for my son
7:56 no there aren’t any
9:01 nobody :
perfectionists : noooooo
(one rubber go away)
You mentioned that we could buy much better RC toys for this price. Do you have any suggestions? I haven't really delved much into what's out there for RC stuff at that price point.
I'm not that into RC but I have a few WPL RC cars that are quite fun to play with and you can get them under $100
hey! nice vid
i wonder if the control hub thing would work with a rechargable battery like li-po's? maybe something smaller?
btw are you russian? just wondering as im getting russian man vibes
You can buy rechargeable AAs, like these - th-cam.com/video/5dybdmCFTiA/w-d-xo.html
I made the exact same wire routing mistake lol.
11:57 Actually Unbrickme’s review of this set shows much, much better outdoor action than Sariel
Sorry for not evaluating every other review on TH-cam to offer the best experience...
I’m really excited about this one
i like this build, like if you cut off a tanks entire head :)
Can I use a physical Lego controller to control it?
You can use the Powered Up controller but you need to create your own code for it in the app
I have it its amazing 9:30 I didn’t know what is this for now i know
I just buyed it
after i use the app, how can i turn the vehicle off? do i just leave it alone and it turns off by itself?
You need to quit the app, the hub disconnects and then turns off. Alternatively you can long press the green button on the hub (~7s), and then it starts to blink and then turns off.
@@RacingBrickwow thnx I didn’t know that
Neon yellow looks like a 3dprinted bootleg
Thanks
i will love a fan made model b juste the orange side
I trued it outside its works on everything!
Hello
Cool
i think you should call it highlighter yellow instead of neon yellow. great review as always, awesome work RB
The name is neon yellow on Bricklink, so I used that one
