[@tregoboing]

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.

[@Nr1from1978]

Dito

[@wtfftw3000]

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

[@R1pp3d]

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

[@leocalves]

I think that's something from those special technic sets. They are not for playing, but for enjoying the assemble process

[@pdmyf9956]

As a 12 year old I shelf my legos and enjoy the building process

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.

[@lakrfan4980]

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.

[@PeterCPRail8748]

They need to bring model team back. Best of both worlds, technic mixed in with system pieces.

[@robl39]

Yes! My favorite set of all time was the Model Team Red Bird Rig from 1993 or 1994

[@kailahmann1823]

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.

[@DanRelayer_Ukraine]

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.

[@msclrhd]

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.

[@spuguatiechiron8262]

I just love watching videos about them then looking up in my room to see the sian and chiron sitting im my room

[@zonoskar]

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.

[@RacingBrick]

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.

[@5ch4cht3l7]

@@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.

[@RacingBrick]

@@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.

[@taker00]

​@@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.

[@RacingBrick]

@@taker00 LEGO has a color coding for pins. Changing that from set to set would not make sense.

[@technicmocer3612]

My favorite super car from Lego Technic is definitely Porsche because has most universal parts and looks really cool

[@sfcustoms6464]

I love Porsche too

[@StuntpilootStef]

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.

[@muriaticfpv2328]

Just because you can't see something doesn't make it less important. Just knowing it's there is cool. IMO

[@alricdark]

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.

[@derekiverson7259]

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.

[@Nr1from1978]

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.

[@sfcustoms6464]

Five supercars in the review is very epic!

[@12171010011010]

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.

[@kareljanraska6703]

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

[@StuntpilootStef]

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.

[@pinoybricks1275]

Awesome! What a collection!👍

[@dominik361]

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

[@Tha1Phoenix]

[@dominik361]

[@trojanhorse3040]

[@Anonym45364]

Just no, doesnt even fit in a little bit and would be way to hard

[@12171010011010]

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.

[@lumpi.643]

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.

[@jwalster9412]

I think Lego should make a 1/8 scale Koenigsegg jesko. That would fit will with the previous cars they made.

[@McKrushi]

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

Congrats I would love to see more Cada and Mould king technics in you block ,keep the great job and content

[@Matej1473]

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.

[@tomb.6955]

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".

[@117johnpar]

I think the creator vehicle models are the perfect scale. I dont even know where I would display any of these cars.

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.

[@Brilaap4000]

@@RacingBrick Thank you so much for reacting!

[@SaperPl1]

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.

I dont get wanting the exposed piston heads, if is meant as a cutaway model, okay, but these are display models.

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'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.

[@tren133]

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.

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.

If LEGO really wanted to model a real car, they should first put their gears in the correct order. It is not indicated on their 1:8 cars, but as it can be seen on the Defender or the BMW bike, their concept is still the "higher gear - faster engine" which is simply wrong.

And I don't particularly care about seeing the transmission or the pistons work so much as having a buildable version of some of the best cars in history. Frankly I'd throw away a gearbox for Lego learning what a turbo or a blower is and ACTUALLY MODELING IT

@ Wouldn’t a working turbo or an actually accurately modelled engine bay be better that “her der, working gearbox with the wrong number of gears on a car that will never use it”?

@@nigelbassett3791 that's kind of my point in the video - if it is a Technic set, then I want to see useful and working functions. The hidden gearbox and fake engine is not that. Either put some mechanics inside that have a visible effect, or don't put anything in it that moves. But in this case, if we declare this as a display piece then remove the Technic badge and we are all set.
