I am a late Lego bloomer (50+) and I like the build process rather than playing with them, when its finished I lose interest and it goes on the shelf. For this reason I think the gearboxes and engines are excellent value and it doesnt matter if they are unseen, I had my fun putting them together and making sure they worked.
Dito
Yes, I think that's what makes them more for adults and kind of adds realism to the toy as it kind of represents the car in lego as a 1/8 scale
I'm in my 30s but have been playing with lego since I was a baby and I'm the same. I used to love playing with it when I was a kid but I guess life has crushed my imagination; nevertheless I still love building technic sets and seeing the finished product
I think that's something from those special technic sets. They are not for playing, but for enjoying the assemble process
As a 12 year old I shelf my legos and enjoy the building process
They need to bring model team back. Best of both worlds, technic mixed in with system pieces.
Yes! My favorite set of all time was the Model Team Red Bird Rig from 1993 or 1994
The Creator Expert cars are built in a similar way; however while todays lineups both for Technic and Creator are focusing on licenced large scale passenger cars, Model Team were (mostly) trucks.
to be fair, model team lives on, albeit in various series. I would say that Concorde qualifies 100% as a Model Team set. Or the big Double Decker from several years ago. Or the current Vespa. But yeah, would be cool to see a big licensed set so that we would have a car with actual glass in the windows. Or the green Defender.
I purchased and built the CaDa SuperCar and am very glad I did. This car has the complexity and intricate design quite comparable to Lego sets but at a much lower price. I believe the parts quality is on par to Lego as I have no complaints about that. The set is boxed into several numbered boxes and many numbered parts bags. The build instructions are simple and clear. I have also built the Lego Bugatti and Lamborgini sets and the CaDa set is equal to them in every aspect. I highly recommend this set to anyone that likes Lego technic cars but is looking to save some money.
I've always had mixed feelings about these things... on one hand, the mechanics are impressive, but on the other - completely pointless. I much prefer complex mechanical builds that actually look good AND function, like the complex internals in the 42052 Heavy Lift Helicopter which enable four different functions using a single M motor. I don't even know about using the cars as parts donors, except for the rare stuff like the wheels, because there are so many underloved but large sets that can be bought used for much, much less.
I built the CadA supercar without any problems, so I would like Lego to stop using blue pins and yellow axles everywhere. On my Lego 1:8 supercar builds, I replaced all of the weird colors with black or grey (and also built the pimp-my-xxx version from rebrickable). These are 18+ sets, right? No need to have color everywhere. I do agree on the gearboxes. I would rather see gear-actuated doors and bonnets than a gearbox. But the gearbox is still nice to build.
They are not 18+ sets because of their "super expert" level, their target audience are casual adult LEGO builders. As I mentioned in the video I had the CaDA build tested with "average" builders and it was really annoying for them to build with the all black pins and interior. LEGO has a much wider target audience than CaDA, having color coding really helps a lot of people.
@@RacingBrick It might help some people but neither you and I know if it is actually a significiant portion of the buyers. Some people also like more challenging builds in order to get a better result (same color). Also there are other ways to make it easier to build like making the old parts a lighter shade of the real color.
@@5ch4cht3l7 you are right I don't have an exact number, but based on my experience with thousands of messages and comments from the past few years, I would say that what you consider as an "experienced builder" is around 10% of the customers or even less. Remember, this is still a toy for kids, and the 18+ category is still a marketing category and not related to complexity or builder skills.
Color coding is a core part of the balanced building experience of LEGO, and it's not only about the building instructions, it's mainly about finding the proper part during building. Shading the previous steps is an interesting attempt, but can be also misleading as you cannot easily identify the parts you've already built since the colors don't match.
@@RacingBrick It might help a lot of people but also looks bad. Using blue pins on the green Sian is pretty difficult to justify, as blue and green is one of the worst color combination to look at and finding black pins instead of blue ones shouldn't be that challenging to anyone.
@@taker00 LEGO has a color coding for pins. Changing that from set to set would not make sense.
I just love watching videos about them then looking up in my room to see the sian and chiron sitting im my room
I like having the complex gearbox and other functions, as they add interesting elements during the build. They also add a variety of parts for use in MOCs.
Thanks for your nice overview, which puts things into perspective, regarding aspects like Technic/brick-built, size, instructions, price/quality, functionality, and dis/play.
Awesome! What a collection!👍
My favorite super car from Lego Technic is definitely Porsche because has most universal parts and looks really cool
I love Porsche too
The Porsche isn't really that good compared to the others. Much less functionality, lots of gaps in the bodywork and overall less refined than the newer ones. It was the first in the series and it shows.
Great video as always! Would love to see something like the Aston Martin Valkyrie or Gordon Murray T.50 for the next 1: 8 set
An excellent video - and it is superb to see the full line-up of cars all together and your comments and thoughts on each of the models echo some of my own. Particularly with regards to building experience, that these models are really just 'cool display pieces' and the so-so quality of CaDa's parts. That said I just built Cada's Humvee and I really enjoyed the build experience and finished model (video on my channel). I have the Ferrari too, but in yellow, so it was good to see your model in more detail and to hear your thoughts on it.
Five supercars in the review is very epic!
Very informative. Great ! As usual ,👍
I bought the Porsche three years ago when it was on special offer as a Christmas present to myself and enjoyed every minute of the build. As other people have commented, even if the gear box is hidden and inaccurate, actually building it and getting it to work smoothly was a huge part of the enjoyment. I make scale models as well, but it's the Porsche that attracts the most interest from anyone seeing it.
I have all 4 of the Technic sets and the Porsche is by far my favorite even though it is the "least polished". I feel like it is a more artistic rendering of the real car than the 3 later sets--a good blend of realistic body work, implied lines, and technic toy. That being said, the new Ferrari SP3 kit stepped up the game on the bodywork and closing the gaps, although it was my least favorite of the four supercars to build.
Just because you can't see something doesn't make it less important. Just knowing it's there is cool. IMO
I love this scale! I'm building the Sian now to be followed up by the Cada afterwards!
love this video ,do you know if lego will be re releasing the porsche gt3 at all?
You are right. They're best for display. But sometimes I just take one apart completely and then rebuild it again. Just for the fun of building it. The Bugatti is the most fun in my opinion. I hope we will get a new set like this soon.
Great review! 👍👍😊
I honestly like that they have functions and gearboxes. There are certain mechanisms, like shifting gears from the front dash, that wouldn't really be possible at smaller scales (I know the older supercar set had a literal gearstick, but Lego clearly doesn't want to do that again). It just sucks that of all these supercars, the gearboxes all suck. I would personally prefer if Lego made these larger Supercar sets more hollow if they wanted to sell them as display models, this would also justify more system pieces being allocated to filling out the body and shape of the car. The functionality can instead be implemented in more cruder and cheaper Technic sets, which I prefer because 90% of the time I just want more functionality anyway.
Congrats I would love to see more Cada and Mould king technics in you block ,keep the great job and content
The Chiron's suspension is easily fixed by filing away the friction tabs on the center of the blue 3L connectors used for the pivot points. Mine has zero of the issues you mentioned. I find it weird that the "Pimp up My Bugatti" crowd completely missed this and went down this unnecessary stiffness rabbithole.
my favorite is the CaDA C61042W Italian Supercar bc it has control plus thing and its pretty fast considering its a 1:8 car
I have the cada at home and it's looking stunning. Price is good compared to the lego sets and the build wasn't hard, even tho there are mostly black. And the LED lights are great
Me too and it's such an amazing build. Especially that there are no useless colors like blue prints etc.
@@thatphoenix3048 the only problem that I had were the 2L axles which were to loose sometimes and some pines with axle inholes, which also were too loose. Other than that, no problems
my favorite is the Porsche 911gt3
nothing beats the sian for me to be honest.
Wow these cars look amazing! They look hard to build. We not be ready for them yet, but hopefully one day soon. We did build the Porsche 911, these look harder than that.
I feel like a lego Demolition Derby car would be pretty cool for a 1:8 scale car. The decals would be annoying of course but it would be a laugh to look at. Especially if you enjoy the sport
Just no, doesnt even fit in a little bit and would be way to hard
Lego has already made a few similar sets at relatively similar scales, but a Demolition Derby car would require HUGE wheels at that scale, and I don't see how Lego would implement them.
That Ferrari F12 looks like Nissan 370Z Nismo from upfront
8880 will always be the best :)
I know its not a new new car but i think a ford gt from 2020ish would be a awesome set to build. Theres lots of curves and cut outs that would challenge builders and the designers could add some nice details
new gt dropped, coming in march
Nice
I love the Porsche, that orange is beautiful... wish it cost less 😭
If you builded lego enough, you can easily build the Cada version. And for 220€ for Motorized and A good design and „real opening/closing“ doors this is a super deal.
I think Lego should make a 1/8 scale Koenigsegg jesko. That would fit will with the previous cars they made.
You can also check my take on Ferrari SF90 Stradale in 1:8 scale
I think they should revive racers theme and make sets like this there, and keep technic as strictly functional sets.
Overtime electric hypercars will solve the complex gearbox and visible engine problem :X
Some MOCs implement actuators for doors, but then you open a manual flap to open an actuator controlled flap..... :D Maybe some expensive things like dampers+pneumatics would fit the models of expensive hypercars the best. Smooth doors, maybe smooth seat movement.... ^^
But srsly: If Lego wants to bring new things, like they currently do a lot, 1:8 electric car with spinning coils and dampers etc. would be great I think.
And if it's a Liebherr hypercar I would consider buying it :X

@@RacingBrick rofl. thx xD
I think the creator vehicle models are the perfect scale. I dont even know where I would display any of these cars.
Hi racingbrick! Iwould to buy the Lego Lamborghini. I’m only 12 but not a beginner. Do you recommend it? I’m a big fan of you. I hope you respond!
Definitely, it's a nice build and the result is impressive.
@@RacingBrick Thank you so much for reacting!
The headlights on your Porche are the upside down
@ minute 7.50.. u can get this one in red, white, yellow & black = SKU: MOC-41271 or 91102, Ferrari F12, JieStar in black
Best
i want the Porsche 911
I like CaDa "Lego" sets, special "Creator Expert" sets, better like Lego version, good mix between Creator and Technic + optional easy RC version(without custom rebuild, like Lego sets). I like CaDa sets, because CaDa create their sets, like copy other sets, MOCs, example Initial D sets(Licensed) or buy set from original designer, example nice red Porsche(unlicensed). I still prefer Lego sets and Lego quality, but some other companies look good too and sometimes cheaper like Lego(without problems with your custom house), example CaDa.
My 5 year old daughter always plays with my Lamborghini and Bugatti. I find lego minifigures and barbies in the cars all the time. She can't play with the mustang since it's more fragile. But I build and play with all my sets, display or not. I'm 40+. It's not to play than collect dust. However, I will say, I still haven't been able to put my Fiat 500 back together after being dropped. Wouldn't change it though
My grandpa owns the Chiron and the Sián and I wouldn't be suprised if he buys another one
The problem for is there is no windshield on any technic models
You should include Bruno Jenson's McLaren P1 and Cada Lamborghini Centenario.
but honestly most of the cada / mouldking etc etc brands, sell sets that are from the beginning a MOC. and these sets are most of the time harder to build. (if I have seen/read it all correct) there are a LOT of great looking Mocs on rebrickable and sold by other brands
How much did the F12 Cost ?
Great video! but i think that you forgot the lamborgini centenario from t lego on rebrickable. you can buy instructions on rebrickable or buy entire set from CaDa.
I did not forget it, there are dozens of custom 1:8 designs on Rebrickable and you can also buy some of them from other brands. These here were used as examples as I mentioned in the video.
I wanted to buy the LEGO 488 race car but then I saw this and bought the cada non motorized one for 130 euros instead, hopefully it will look okay next to my other genuine lego models
What are your thoughts on the off-brand Lego sets
Well they are not "LEGO" in the first place :) I'm fine with them until they don't use stolen designs from LEGO or MOC makers, but I won't consider buying them if they can be also built using genuine LEGO pieces.
@@RacingBrick where can you get the instructions for most of these so that I could buy and use Lego parts
What scale would the McLaren GTR and Jeep Wrangler be?
Regarding the CaDa "Italian Sportscar". Yes, the building experience is more challenging as with Lego-Sets which uses quadillions of different colors, but it is quiet doable. It would be ok to do some color coding with a small color selection, like black, dark bluish grey and light bluish grey. But it hurts my eyes to look into the Legosets which look lie a shredded parrot with 12 colors on 10 parts. So i would prefer the building experience from the CaDa "Italian Sportscar" above the Lego "Lamborghini Sian".
I think the gearbox taking so much space and sitting on the shelf at the end of the day doesn't make sense. It would be cool if Lego made an actual dedicated gearbox set to minify the footprint of gearbox and make it more like real life car gearbox. And then we could think about making those cars into RC cars with RC kits and instructions from Lego for it.
Otherwise it's like you said, better to focus on manual functions that can be played with when the model is in place/static. This brings to mind every aircraft model that obviously won't fly, so it's all static play.
But you have much parts in set with gearbox :)
Are the Green parts on the 42115 really as inconstant as they look on this video... I have the other two 1/8 lego sets but have been put off by the green shades of the 42115
That was the very first batch, I guess there were improvements since then as there were many complaints.
6:36 just don't crash it lol
What is the quality for the parts of the CADA car. Is it from gobricks?
No, CaDA is using their own bricks. They are at 95% of Lego. In my set, some axle connectors don't stay put, and some thin lift arms are really tight on the axle. Apart from that, no issues.
I suggest to check my review linked in the blog post, I show some quality issues there. In general part quality is ok, but some parts are too loose and some of them have a tendency to break as well.
@@RacingBrick you should look into mould king and the gobricks factory. Because they are also fake Lego and are as good as Lego (except for the actuators).
@@morrisalbers775 I don't really use non-LEGO pieces in general, and except of testing some electronics I stay away from Mould King as they sell a lot of stolen designs that I don't support.
@@RacingBrick yeah i know that's really bad of them. I love your videos btw
Sincerly I hope for a new (maybe customized) stering weel
Porsche 911 GT3 RS will always be my most wanted lego car ever (too bad it's not available anymore)
I've bouth Chiron few months ago and it was 100% worth in my opinion
And now I'm waiting for 2022 car and if this car will not be interesting for me or will not be introduced this year (Lego pls don't) I think I will buy Lamborghini
i always wanted a gearbox lego set because i really find gearboxes interesting. but these supercars were simply too expensive to afford it because they need to license it. and because it is hidden, it is pointless. i'm hoping the new all terrain vehicle with the small gearbox is lego doing a test seeing if small sets with gearboxes are monitiseable. i dont like that new set very much but i might buy it if it has good MOC's. but if we could get small supercars like the mclaren senna or chevrolet corvette with a tiny gearbox, then i will be very happy. my wallet too.
I just started crying seeing that thumbnail. It's a pain to see all that mess in one place.
So they should scale well with the deagostini żuk a07
👍🏼
I'm sorry but the F12 absolutely isn't worth 850-1000 dollars! The 488 on the other hand is a bargain!
I dont get wanting the exposed piston heads, if is meant as a cutaway model, okay, but these are display models. I think the only reason they included the internal mechanism was so they didnt just have entire body and interior built ontop of a simple skeleton chassis. Its effectively blank plastic to me.
Just want to know your own opinion and clear one about the CADA brand and quality my friend and also the other brands and which one do you recommend plz
You can hear my experience with CaDA quality in my review video, linked from the blog post. You can also see other CaDA set review on that channel.
I don't have much experience with other brands, but I definitely wouldn't support manufacturers who are stealing LEGO set designs or who are using MOC designs without authorization. Whatever you see online, it is worth to do a research if it is a clone of a LEGO set or take a look at rebrickable.com if that design exists there. If the name of the MOC designer is not proudly presented on the box then there's a high chance it was stolen.
@@RacingBrick thanks a lot my dear friend and really respect your point of view 👍🏼
I can't help but think that the next 1:8 will come from McLaren - my money is on it being the Artura. The writing's on the wall with the delayed 1:8 release and the recent release of the Lego McLaren F1 car. I can't see any other supercar being worthy of release. Any thoughts on that?
I thought mclaren or koenigsegg, hope they arent it because then i would have to spend a lot of money
i hope it will be koenigsegg gemera, because it is expensive brand new model, powerful, interesting and interior looks sooo sick. I HOPE...
1:19 be the look of that Ferrari, i can say than that Ferrari is a 488 Pista, it has the look of it
Yesir Skechers the comfiest shoe ever I know you guys are talking about lego but its true.
Hello, is it possible to do a review on TGL T4022 BMW R1250 GS with 2369 pieces?
Thanks
Where can we buy those versions,send to Portugal?
Which one?
You can find links in my blog post, check the pinned comment
5:41 Not a big fan either of those beams threaded over flex axles. It doesn't look like a legitimate Lego building technique to me. Unfortunately, Loxlego seems to use it in almost all of his designs.
Why no ferrari SP3 (42143) technic in the lineup?
Because check when the video was published :)
I'm torn on these. I like the concept, but the execution of making really cool internals and then covering them up has turned me off from buying any of them. I also think if I'm going to spend the money on a set like this, it would need to be close to my dream car...say a Countach, an F40 or a McLaren F1. So I think it's more rewarding to buy an entire annual Speed Champion lineup than one of these.
There is an MOC which uses almost all the pieces of the latest 1:8 model, the Ferrari Daytona, but turns it into the F40 instead. The stock wheels are kind of incongruent, but the the F40 MOC looks stunning. The same guy also turned the Cian into the Miura concept, and that looks dope as hell too.
3third
3:18 there's some loose parts at the rear right wheel
It happens, these cars are big and heavy, they might come apart even if you only move them around
Why do people insist on visible pistons??? It is much better if the car is realistic in every aspect. I don't mind hidden pistons. It would be much better if they put power functions as a default so the car could drive.
Would be nice to get the C8R or M8R
I don’t think either of those would happen. The 1/8 scale cars are hypercars, and these are super cars. (You could make an argument about the 911 GT3 RS)
@@williamvandergrift9741 they did the 458R and 911R
Has anybody built the Pista?
I have all of these but the white one. Of the LEGO ones I like the Porsche best, I don’t really know why. The “Italian super car” is awesome. 3 speed transmission and is radio control. But the parts quality is not very good. Parts fall off just looking at it. LEGO needs to motorize the big cars, they don’t need to drive, but it’s be nice if you could actually see the engine and gearbox work. But I got the CaDA car for free….
So is it worth it for me to get the Lamborghini Sian or wait half a months and buy the mclaren F1 car
The McLaren car is going to be an empty shell with suspension and a diff for the rear. It's nowhere as complicated as the Sian. It will probably also not be as satisfying to build. And the Sian has tons of MOCs on rebrickable, we'll have to see about that for the McLaren set. I'm getting one anyways.
Thank you for your advice will take into account
why didnt you mention that the CaDA C61042W is a Ferrari 488 Pista?
I said it looks like a Ferrari, but since it is not officially licensed in cannot be called a Ferrari
@@RacingBrick Fair Point, i thought about buying it but i am not sure, would you recommend it? is it worth the money?
@@KineticKitFN14 honestly it's not my cup of tea, the "all black" interior makes the building process very frustrating. If you are fine with that then you might give it a try, but I'd say the manual version is a better choice.
@@RacingBrick alright, thanks.
Ironic that he used 2 moc Ferraris and the new 1:8 Lego set is a Ferrari Daytona sp3
Name of the song pls, first song in the video..
think this is a very good review many people complain about making lego but the real lego also has to do with color and lego is not worth the money nice review
White ferrari and red ferrari are MOCS? Or Fake Lego?
Pretty sure it will be a Ferrari.
0:29 what is that white car?
Ferrari F12 probably, but when I saw it first on the thumbnail, i thought it was a Nissan 370z bcuz of the headlights and grill shape
Why are all the LEGO Technic set sold. Why taking LEGO so long to re stock items ????
Song aat 0:41 plssss
Give me one of those please 😭😅
why wont lego technic make a harley davidson already ?
Because it was released as a Creator Expert set?
@@RacingBrick well they should make one. a heavy duty harley davidson technic set with 2k parts
Hey man, I hope you are hale and hearty. I want to buy a Lego and my budget is 450 Dollars. I have selected two sets. Those are Lego technic Liebherr r 9800 excavator and another is Lego technic CAT D11. I have watched your comparison video. But still I can't decide. You are requested to give to give me a suggestion. I like motors but I also like V12 engine and gearbox.
If you saw my video then you should now my opinion - I think the Liebherr is definitely a better choice. More motors, more parts, way more cool alternative builds.
@@RacingBrick Thanks for your reply.
I must not be understanding ratios because i don't think 8 of those cars would make one real car.
Math is a tricky beast :) the length of such model like the Sian is 60cm. 8x60cm=480cm - the length of a real car :)
I see. I guess those little cars are bigger than they seem
