This set is phenomenal! It's a great parts pack for the rubber pins, shocks, and tracks. I'm also glad that the truck side has space for cargo. A recommendation I have for your control interface is utilizing the hub's gyroscope to reverse the controls when needed.
Thanks for the suggestion. I have thought about that but the powered up app interface is not very convenient for larger programs, especially on a tiny smartphone, so I never bothered to do that
I really like this set. As a kid I had a 4 wheel offroad RC car that was invertible, just trashing it around while it flipped up and down was hilarious and great fun. I wonder if in playtesting they found with all the bumping that the battery cover would fall off, maybe they added the screws for that? In any case I'm glad I have the old ones, the ability to quickly turn a hub off is very useful, especially if you forget to turn the bt off your smart device off and it just stays connected with the app in the background. It's also now way easier to just let the batteries sit in the hub because effort, before you know it you forget about them and they start leaking throughout. A lot of my old 9v stuff is damaged and i had to take apart and clean because of leaking ni-cd batteries, nimh's are a lot less corrosive but it's still an issue. Even if TLG would come out with a li-ion or li-po battery pack, either they replace the entire panel with a charging port or it's going to be a real hassle, could possibly be dangerous if one starts to inflate while it's in a hub. 5:15 There are some sensors (accelerometer, gyro) in the hub, i'm quite certain that the official app will flip the controls automatically if it goes upside down. in the mean time: add a switch instead and use the code blocks to let it go from -1 to +1, then simply multiply the input stick value by this value and you will have inverted controls that flip with just a single tap instead of having to add different sticks and switch between them manually.
Loved hearing your perspective! I tried programming a button in the powered up app but I didn’t know how to change the motor port. When it’s flipped not only the direction is flipped but also the right slider becomes responsible for the left track
@@Unbrickme About the port: Version A) You don't have to, if you modify the input values and not the port. Version B) Take a look at the white hub+port selector-block. It shows integers as output if you change the port/hub. So it should be possible to use ints as port- input.
I love the blue colour scheme because it looks sporty and it has the blinking bright lights coming from the Bluetooth hub that is simply just so cool. The orange colour scheme is still nice but loses the sports feel. Overall both of the colour scheme are equally lovely because they actually complement each other. Love Lego technics.
This is The best RC toy i ever seen i have birthday today so i got this set and bought mclaren senna gtr and everyrhing with 50% sale becouse my friend work in lego factory in Kladno. And i like that blue side moře but i like to Put something on The orange side. HIGHLY RECOMMENDING THIS SET FOR TECHNIC LOVERS OR RC TOYS LOVERS👍👍👍👍
Another con: That odd Control+. Lego should get rid of it and stop forcing the customers (childs) to spent even time on a cell phone when playing with Lego. Besides you can trash it when Lego stops supporting your phone/tablet or that models specific app version...
Honestly I wasn't planning to get this set but seeing all those new pieces,gears,and the function made me love this set btw I really like the detailed build and I hope you always do a build on every review
this become really (too) easy with those one piece big connectors, at the time, you had to use many perpendicular cross connector and many blue and red pins to connect everything, we had to be real clever
Small question with important aspect : can you do a comparison of the old and new hub? Maybe they also improved the elec inside it and is now more power efficient or allow better speed or torque or faster movement after using the control profile? ( A little like the IR receiver V2 allowed more current, so that stacking motors on one output won't make them stall... )
Thanks for the early review with the detailed building process. I think it's a missed opportunity to introduce 14 and 18 tooth gears instead of another 12/20 pair, but it makes sense, since the double bevel gears have less contact pattern than normal spur gears and would get quickly damaged. I also hate the new battery box design, but one screw would not have hold the weight of 6 batteries on such a model, especially while riding down the stairs like you did.
For anyone owning the Liebherr 42100: there is a nice MOC at Rebrickable that goes as an alternate to the Liebherr giving the same tracked vehicle as this set here.
I still will not buy any powered up models as long as there is no physical remote. Especially for such "fun" models. I recently bought the new Mould King hub and remote with some motors. I'm quite impressed what they are offering. Only the servo isn't that good.
@@BrickDesignerNL Yeah it doesn't have proportional control, only straight on and off.. Also it requires connecting to your phone, *then* the hub. On top of having to keep your phone on and in the app, it's just too much
I bought a ton of rubber pins to increase the traction on the treads of my Fangpyre Wrecking Crane set, and it makes a huge difference. I also need them for Axl's Rolling Arsenal.
I love to find out about the new useful Technic parts. Perhaps you could do a video on the newest useful Technic components on occasion. I plan on getting plenty of the 12t, 20t gears, and 3x19 frames when this set arrives.
I just finished building this and playing around with it for a bit, I think it’s a great set! Had to look for some videos and see what others are saying about it. Very good video and review!
I love it when you upload a video! Also can you make a video on all the LEGO Technic sets you own? Edit: Whats your favorite side on the transformation vehicle? (Mines the orange)
The new hub now has a durability issue with these screws, they are self tapping screws in plastic. This will put a lifespan on the hub, since these holes will wear out with repeated use. I really hope the next version will have metal inserts and machine screws.
Big thumbs up for rough playing outside :D Little thumbs down for not using the gyro-sensor for flip-detection instead of another pair of sliders in PU ;-)
Great review! I like how you show the highlights of the building process! I definitely hope to get this set soon. How were you able to get it so early?
Im noticing when it flips from the blue side, the spoilers were the first that contacted the ground not the small wheels, surely after playing a while (even indoors) the technic panel would get scratches on the edges right?
2 года назад+2
Yeah, you can see it towards the end, it gets absolutely chewed up.
Great review of the LEGO 42140 especially when you show the assembly and new pieces, I await your review of the other technical sets in March. Can you make a video where you show from the worst to the best of the 5 legos? The legos in question would be 42065,42095,42109,42124 and 42140 It would be very interesting and continues like this I prefer both
I like colour blue. But which side of the vehicle I would prefer is the orange exploration vehicle, simply because I like research exploration vehicles in Lego technic. 7:52
Those colors annoy me. How am i suposed to use them in a moc? I have plenty of traditional blue,light blue, red, green, light green, lime green, azure blue, yellow and orange. I don't need more pieces in obscure, unusable colors
Why didn't you use the gyro info of the control hub to simply switch the direction of driving? This way you don't need 4 sliders... Thanks for the review!
I think most kids would still be able to open this pretty easily. In any case if the safety feature is a requirement it should’ve done a hybrid solution, two pins like before and a screw in the middle. That way, there is an option to not use the screw
Are you sure that the screwed hub wasn't introduced on purpose for this set? With all the flipping it does (something that a set hasn't done before), Lego probably doesn't want it to fly open from all the impact this set will experience from its transformability.
this set is a great parts provider a bit sad to see it only has 4 gears and i like the cabin popping. i am also excited for the all terrain vehicle review
Unfortunately the review missed two key cons: 1. clearly overpriced 2. Lego to include a separate remote control. The app function only to be an optional feature. More details: ruclips.net/video/B0scF6rlUeI/видео.html
Hey UnBrickme now that the set is out on the app (in Canada atleast but I imagine it’s us to) the controls have it so when it flips the control panel changes to. also I don’t really mind the new hub desingn
@@Ibrahim-vx5kq yes but was there really a need for a chain compatible version of these exact gears? They arent used for chains in this set anyway, or were they in other sets? Idk
In addition to chain compatibility, they are lower friction when tightly housed in a high-stress environment like in this model. They probably had them in the pipeline for another use and put them in this set for the lower friction “upside.”
I assume this new (worse) hub still has tilt sensor? I assume you can use that to automatically flip the controls, once the vehicle flips. I assume the "extra wheel" doesn't even touch the ground when driving?
Yes this hub has a gyro sensor. I was in a rush while filming so I didn’t have time to figure out the code. I’m using a code that automatically changes the sliders now
Lego need to stop adding new crazy one time colors that LIMIT us from making our own creations. What happen to the idea that Lego have parts and colors that are part of a SYSTEM? I have too many sets by now with custom colors that are by now too random to take a part for new creative design. For builders that don't display and like to reuse the bricks it started to be a deal breaker of what is worth to get.
So they took the already rather controversial C+ system and made it even worse by adding those screws... That said, this might actually be my favorite C+ set so far, it just looks like a ton of fun, and the transformation feature is done pretty well. Apart from the C+ system itself the only thing I don't like is the number of stickers, but at least for a set like this they are pretty much optional. I don't see the benefit of those new gears, and did we really need more colors? But my biggest gripe is the price. It's not just that I think it's too much for what you get, but even more so the hefty price increase compared to predecessors 42095 and 42065. Yes, you do get quite a bunch more parts, but now it will be out of reach for many kids or too expensive as a gift. For the kind of set it is, that's not a good thing.
if these gears with 12 and 20 teeth will now always be impossible to connect at an angle of 90 °, then this is a disaster(I apologize for my knowledge of English)
@@Unbrickme ahaha, thank you)) yes, by the way, it is possible, but I think that the chains with 16,24 and 48 teeth coped with this perfectly, although perhaps I'm panicking in vain, because it's not a fact that the old 12- and 20-gear gears were discontinued

"But! No pressure! No pressure"©
This is one of the most innovative sets that they have released ever
It's amazing what Lego can do when they are not obsessed with aesthetics over all else, because they are creating a non-licenced set.

not worth it... doesn't have a gearbox... right?

What would a gearbox even be used for in this set? The speed of the motors is determined by the hub.
@@nkende that's sarcasm...
Great video. So much better than showing pointless speed build. Explaining interesting stages is so informative.

Well, you miss out on all the fun. Bye Dino.
Shoutout to @ethanbates26 on Instagram for shipping me this set!
Thanks! Great review!!!!!
Great review! I love how you showed overall progression during the build vs a regular time lapse. I want that frame!
This is the best rc set for winter wave of 2022 and I’m planning on getting this set. We need more modern transformer vehicles from LEGO technic.
It’s actually part of the March wave, but yes it is one of the best ones from 2022
I bought a ton of rubber pins to increase the traction on the treads of my Fangpyre Wrecking Crane set, and it makes a huge difference. I also need them for Axl's Rolling Arsenal.

I builded this and it took like two days this guy does it in two seconds I'm getting jealous
The rubber tread attachments didn't come with a Technic set since 42069 (52 pieces).
Oh god the scratches and dirt 3:58
Awesome set and review! Loved the new pieces and how the vehicle flipped! Your filming quality is getting better and better!!

Looking forward for that little Telehandler. The 10 €/£ Technic Sets have always been some of my favourites👍
This is one of the coolest sets I have seen in a while.
I love it when you upload a video!
Also can you make a video on all the LEGO Technic sets you own?
Edit: Whats your favorite side on the transformation vehicle?
(Mines the orange)
Thanks, and maybe I'll make a video like that in the future
I like both sides a lot, though maybe I prefer the orange one since it can transport small objects
Great, my cash reserve will be buying this set. Wait for it.. ❤️
I like the orange Side more since it kinda looks like some kind of snow rescue vehicle😁
The new hub now has a durability issue with these screws, they are self tapping screws in plastic.
This will put a lifespan on the hub, since these holes will wear out with repeated use.
I really hope the next version will have metal inserts and machine screws.
Lol, he says it's very playable and he fidgets with the transformation as he speaks 😂
Orange since it’s winter time. Both colors are perfect fit
This set is cool!
Big thumbs up for rough playing outside :D
Little thumbs down for not using the gyro-sensor for flip-detection instead of another pair of sliders in PU ;-)
Throw away the three screws and leave just one on the plate... Love it now 👍
i ll buy it in the premiere day

Didn’t expect you made early review than Sariel😶🌫️
I didn’t know LEGO did a double sided RC car
I want this set to turn into a ripsaw transformation thing is cool but the ripsaw would be funner

The drive chain on you BMW moto is disconnected btw.
Considering 42128 have tons of functions and 10$ more,i think its a great deal :0
I think it's worth every penny!
I have that it's really cool
Hi, nice review. The screws used on the battery cover is a safety measure. This is a toy and kind of makes it more difficult for kids to open.

0:09 Ouch
Very nice review! Thank you!
Is this blue od dark azzure?
Is it intentional that you can see the future sets there as a hint?
Does anyone know why they made these new gears which look like a downgrade to the older ones since they cant go 90 degree angles?
Double bevel gears can't be used with chain links(such as the ones used in 42121 and 42132)
Only flat gears can be used with chain links
@@Ibrahim-vx5kq yes but was there really a need for a chain compatible version of these exact gears? They arent used for chains in this set anyway, or were they in other sets? Idk

Would it make any sense to get another line of the rubber things for the inside row of the tracks? would that help/hinder movement?
