LEGO Technic 42110 Land Rover Defender unboxing, speed build and detailed review

[@RacingBrick]

If you have any issues with the build please have a look at my ultimate repair guide - racingbrick.com/2020/04/lego-technic-42110-land-rover-defender-ultimate-repair-guide/

[@josephdolman]

I have this set and it is proving difficult for me I've not even finished build 1 for the main engine assembly I've built up and taken apart several times certainly the hardest thing I've worked on

[@garymcqueen6350]

That was very useful thank you

[@RetroKlocki]

In Poland, this set currently costs as much as the Ford Raptor! now you can compare the number of functions, the price is the same!

[@cosmicbrickfilms1593]

Danggg. That’s a great deal. Wish I lived in pole land. Here in the United States it currently costs 230$. And it keeps going up!

[@davidfarmer2521]

Maybe cuz Europe didn't get the F 150?

[@evakenanson6056]

It doesn't cost $230 it costs $200 but still that and amazing deal!!!

[@J2I3H]

€129 in Netherlands 😎

[@Oetie82]

Here is costs like 120

[@thunderbolt4741]

I think think the Lego designers did a better job on this than Land Rover itself. If the real thing looked as boxy as this, it would be more desired and closer to the original.

[@exopol1214]

[@carsdrone3721]

Landrover really need to see this design 🤣

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

I also agree!🤣👍

[@ancientmariner7473]

Agreed. Land Rover really botched this one up. The least they could have done is called it something else.... PRETENDER....

[@pixsled]

They are kinda moving away from the original design with the velar, new sport and evoque.

I’m currently building this set, and your video helped me realise I had an error on my roof, where the cream panels meet the black frame. Thanks a lot. You’ve saved me a lot of aggravation down the line.

[@KDH5010]

I've just finished building it - after almost 20 years i came back to Lego. Love it. P.S. I've attached rear spring in wrong hole, so thanks for Your repair tutorial.

The small engine you did to test the gears looks so cool. Well done!

[@josephrogers1282]

this set has all the features I spent most of the early 90s trying to retrofit to my 8850 jeep set, it even has the gearbox in the same place I put it (I should add that I never succeeded except in the loosest possible sense, but I had a lot of fun and learned a lot trying)

[@RickyRegal.]

If u motorized this set it'd be awesome

[@the364yt]

Would need some packaging genius 🤔

[@leonardomanjarrez9]

@@the364yt i think that if you motorized it, you will need to take most of the transmission

[@rukkergaming2103]

That’s what I was trying to find out. I probably won’t get it now

[@100ev-p8o]

It's already motorized by LEGO

[@politicallyinaccuratetoast4757]

Then you'll have to remove the transmission, which is the main point of interest on this

[@nateo745]

Love the time laps. World be good to have longer doors to match closer to the Defender itself

[@SmashingBricksAU]

Great Review! It looks to be a very good Technical build, lots of gears, moving parts, a real Technic build. It is a really big set. The OD green will be good for the military enthusiasts MOCs. I will be picking this set up for sure

[@DPEIW]

i need to get this

[@SmashingBricksAU]

@Your Dad as close as Lego will ever get!

[@jaakkopontinen]

Overall such a great looking set. :) Awesome!

[@cosmicbrickfilms1593]

I just got it. It’s insane! It’s also massive so make sure you have room for it. It’s also really fun to build, I actually enjoyed it. Just make sure you find the right deal cuz I got one for 150 which is a steal compared to the original price.

[@bouttacrashout]

It has numbered bags, i salute the designers

[@ZaibatsuHeavyIndustries]

Lego sets have had numbered bags for quite a while now

[@maxwellmoore5705]

@@ZaibatsuHeavyIndustries not all of them, i recently got the technic 911 rsr and it didn't have numbered bags, i hate when they don't include hem so you have to pour all the pieces out onto the table all at once :/

[@armaanr8169]

This set may have the best suspension of any technic set to date. Even better than the 4 by 4 (42099) 🤗

[@danbo4263]

How to fix the gearbox: Flip the sticker :^) Also c'mon, that color is great

[@MickeyCreole]

Now I know what would happen if Meccano had a one-night stand with Lego and didn’t use protection, it will create this! I’m currently working on this one, but I got the MOC static one and honestly you do need full concentration, especially when the instruction manual is PDF and admittedly my fingers are sore as some of the complicated pieces are apart and you have to fit them together, (the other side of not being able to buy the Lego version as it’s usually up to 3 times more expensive than the MOC version, but seriously who doesn’t like a sweet bargain???) I must admit I’m enjoying this build, it’s challenging when you’re old like me with nerve problems but it’s intriguing as well as mesmerising to see how all the parts connect. I would recommend this set

[@MisterRubbernose]

This looks epic! Definitely one of the Technic sets on my wishlist!

[@samliddle2011]

i have one

[@rewindd]

i have this set and never knew the gearbox even worked and stuff.... this makes the set way cooler.

[@bonnwolff1890]

I sure wish these Technic sets still came with the people.

[@penttijakonen3817]

The wheels look fantastic, I need to get some of those. Nice and a very realistic design, reminds me of many actual high performance wheels. Would look great in a sports or racing car.

[@bibasik7]

Try to connect a motor to directly the driveshaft and set the gearbox to neutral. That should eliminate the friction from the gearbox.

[@RacingBrick]

And what would be the point to run the system in neutral? :)

[@tanguydelooz2881]

The color choice is awesome !! It's the green jeep from my childhood memories !! I'm tempted to buy it because of that, and also because the gear seems interesting and there are nice suspensions. We'll see. Good idea. I hope they do a "good" bicycle soon or a Ford GT. :)

[@DidNotAppearInAustralia2018]

The greatest British off road suv created in the hands of the brick master.

[@grievous8431]

I've been saving up for months, I got $170 and today I'm getting $10 from jobs. Can't wait to buy this and I get it tomorrow cause of Amazon prime!!!!

[@Kelkschiz]

Thanks for the review. Surely this is one of the better LEGO Technic sets this year. The only thing that is a bit of a pity is that we again get a new technic panel colour. It does suite the set though.

[@markthespark1935]

Love your video and really like the drivetrain test with the motor! Great review overall and I would agree with your points👍🏼

[@AndrewGuns]

I can still hear Blazs narrating while I read the captions

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Yea nice! But the real new Defender also should come with extra pieces! Just in case you break something on the trail!🤣👍nice build thought!

[@DuckInGameStop]

This is a great set! I personally was not a fan of the roof rack and used the parts for a nice front bumper instead. I also used some parts from my own collection to make a little hood prop that folds down in front of the engine nicely but is a bit fragile.

[@Ntbr2030]

You’re like me, something doesn’t quite sit right we fix it our way, haha love that nice job dude.

[@stevenmorgan4219]

Love the video. This Land Rover is my 1st Lego build. My wife surprised me. Challenging! I've finished Section #1. I think I did it right but all the gears aren't moving in unison. Is there a function test at the end of each section to determine if you've screwed up before moving forward and making a bigger problem? Thanks for your input.

[@RacingBrick]

I suggest to have a look at this page, there're also verification steps to help with the build - racingbrick.com/2020/04/lego-technic-42110-land-rover-defender-ultimate-repair-guide/

[@TheSpoovy]

I wish the new defender looked more like this :)

[@the_real_fiz2zy]

Honestly I love this set so much, but I still wish they hadn’t made the gear box so hard on the u joints, because mine keeps ceasing up and making cracking sounds because of all the weight of the gear box, and I need to keep it in the lower gears.

[@adolfoinquiry]

I’ve watched this 34 times because of the music and how much I love this set, don’t have it yet but I can’t decide over this set and the Chiron or Sian

[@DPEIW]

i like the color

[@jltworks3167]

If I get this set I’d replace it with my own custom 4 speed 4WD sequential gearbox with lever operation and speed indicator, it looks like it may fit. Thanks for this review! Once again it may be up to the ADOL to improve this set 😂

[@CrimsonSpeedr]

Cool video with many smart ideas. I liked your comparsion with real thing. I did speedbuild of same set but your video has some features that are really impressive and inspiring

[@JoggingWithForks]

Earphone users beware! Earsplitting loud repetitive background noise playing throughout. Lower volume before pressing play.

What a Great Review! Excellent video My regards to you man Awesome attention to detail!

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

Great review/analysis. Just bought one. Having only ever built the Rally car from 2018 the build process of this one almost looks too intermediate. Other than that love the completed design, and I have no real issue with the color.

[@jakubkoubek8401]

Please build RC version

[@filiprosu8535]

Imagine having an additional extra piece after you're done. Haha

[@edselsugay4768]

I feel like this one is a bit underrated. I’m no engineering expert so the flaws to me seem negligible. I’m really quite impressed with the complex functions like the transmission, and I think Lego captures much of what people look for in Land Rover-class, fun, adventure, next-tier-distinction. Of course I heard that real Land Rovers can be a pain in the a- to maintain. I’ll stick with the Lego model.

[@jeffkrug9924]

Cant wait for the instructions. I wish Lego would have brought out a motorized model

[@oisinhorler]

(6:01) You can just turn the sticker for the gearbox around!

[@anhex.5747]

That was what I was thinking too.

[@Gizmos_and_stuff]

i had one but it ahd cracking issues, i rebuilt the entire chassis while paying close attention to all the potential causes, i watched youtube videos but nothing could fix it, it was great but i was too anooyed by the crachling so i used it for parts, it is a great set, just pay attention when building so you don't get annoyed

@racingbrick with the back door band, put it around the grey parts only. Not the red. Works better.

[@Havanu81]

[@jessemccarthy9724]

THE SHAPE OF THIS ONE IS A LOT BETTER THAN THE REAL ONE PERSONALLY I THINK THE SHOULD HAVE KEPT IT THE SAME BOXY SHAPE AS THE OLD LAND ROVER

[@HarmanMotorWorks]

At 6:43, I wonder if there's space to swap the gears around so that it's 24/8 instead of 8/24? That way the adding the PF motor may be more feasible and it should be a small change to achieve mobility. Or at worst, use two medium gears (16/16) or even 20/12 gearset?

[@philmanley489]

I thought the documentation was very poor. I learned more from this you tube video than the manual which comes with the car. Shouldn't have to watch a you tube video just to find out the features f the car I have just assembled!

[@RacingBrick]

Glad I could help, such feedback is worth to share with LEGO customer service, maybe they'll improve the documentation for future sets

[@ZEROBRICKS]

You think you could use the 42099 hubs, replace the 24 and 8 tooth gears at the diffs with 16 ones and actually make it drive?

[@RacingBrick]

there are still too many gears in the drivetrain but of course could be done, needs restructuring

[@DadBuildsToys]

Great video will be tackling a crane in one of my upcoming videos

i had to remove the gearbox because of the clicking sound. the clicks stop the engine from moving in every gear. i tried every possible fix including DESTROYING AND REBUILDING the whole car and still had no change. now it runs on one speed and is like most one speed Technic cars in my collection. i have built numerous Technic cars and trucks and have never had anything like this happen.

Great review, as always. It seems like this set contains more clutch gear, than 2L pins with friction ridges . :-D

I'm tempted to buy this for my stepdad. He has always loved land rovers and always loved building legos with my when i was a kid. He loves building stuff and projects, this would be the first time he would of touched lego in about 15 years now. Do you think this would be a good christmas present or a bit weird? I'm stuck this year

[@SubwayTutorials]

@@RacingBrick It's this or the Bugatti since it's only 210 brand new on eBay at the moment. And I think it will look a lot nice in the acrylic housing case. Thanks for the response

[@RacingBrick]

@@SubwayTutorials the Bugatti is more about the building experience, it has a nice box and a lot of background information about the project. Once complete the Bugatti becomes a display piece, not very playable. The Defender is more functional, you can actually play with it after the build.

[@eddiewong9436]

Thanks for sharing. I like the motor that you use to spin the wheels and gear. Is it available in the market or did you build it?

Did I built the motor? Simple Power Functions motor was used with some parts to attach it to the front axle of the car.
