LEGO Technic 42156 Peugeot 9x8 detailed building review part 1

[@brandon.rondeau]

My dad and I love the uniqueness of this car without a traditional rear wing. Would love to get it for him, but I can't bring myself to drop $200 on it. Even if I could, I don't know where we'd put it.

[@beanbaguk]

It’s a tough choice as it’s no doubt very expensive. But if you do manage to pick one up, they look awesome wall mounted 👍🏼

[@jadentran9895]

that is lego in a nutshell. The actually good looking sets are like, 200+ which is heavy on the wallet. The cheap sets look nice too but like a 20 dollar one vs a 200 dollars one? Come on now lol

[@Flugs0]

it's really the only thing keeping me from buying lego in general, the prices are always way too high for me

[@beanbaguk]

@@Flugs0 Lego has been and always will be incredibly expensive. It's never been a cheap toy, even back in the 80's when I was a kid.

[@Flugs0]

@@beanbaguk Yea I didn't mean to say that it was ever much better, it's just that when I was a child I didn't care about the price at all cause I wasn't the one paying for it.

[@marklinehan6000]

Thank you Balazs, a great review. I am pleasantly surprised how good the Peugeot model looks when completed, and I take your point about the plethora of stickers needed, after all, successful racing teams, and their racing cars, will have lots of sponsors names/logos on the body work, and these can’t be tampo-printed on the Lego bricks without a serious hike in costs. I am surprised at the UK list price, I thought it would cost more, but I would still prefer to buy, and build, the Landrover Defender. I liked the way you compared the Peugeot with the older Lego Technic Le Mans racer, and I think that this has really captured just how well Lego have improved the look and quality of their technic models in just a few years. Huge respect to the Lego designers who worked on this project, and really nice comparison from you! Great stuff, please keep up the good work.

[@matthewpotter8491]

I think this looks awesome. Massive leap forward vs the 2015 equivalent.

[@mercuryforlife969]

the new one looks better but i feel like the 2015 one had more functions + it could use a motor

[@weareallseedsofthesametree]

"I know some of you are pre-heating the capslock button already" 😂

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

Very cool model. Interesting setup for the suspension but good on Lego for replicating the design function the best they could given the parts and scale. Seeing the comparison between this and older similar scale models really shows how far the Technic theme has come over the last handful of years. Price, and value is really good, but personally prefer the in between scale and simpler builds of The Raptor, and Ford GT.

[@PhoenixClank]

Thanks for the detailed look at the suspension! Really cool setup, much different than in previous Lego cars!

[@fahmaijunior2100]

Im 11 and i got this car for my birthday and it took me 3 days to build it all bymyself

[@Kruzgamer]

Took me 4 hours lol. Good job dude, this car is an masterpiece

[@Sigmashoesandeditz123]

I built a Lego f1 Mercedes in 1 minute 1:8

@@Kruzgamerbahahahaha

[@briqtastic]

Cannot wait for the second part, I am not a huge peugeot fan, but it looks good!

[@edselsugay4768]

As I build my 9x8, I find myself rewatching this video repeatedly. Cheers!

[@therickman1990]

The fake electric motor and differential for the front wheels is a really nice detail! Did not expect that at all. I just finished with chapter 2 myself. So far really enjoying it

[@Verhagenvictor]

Man im deeply conflicted about this set, back when i built 42039 i found myself wanting more detail and perhaps some representation of the hybrid systems in the then LMP1, but now that we have this car, with only a spinning block on the front axle, nothing in terms of other geared functions or a gearbox, for a 200 euro pricetag... I might just rebuild 42039 again.

[@quelxes]

That Peugeot looks amazing. I will definitely be adding it to my collection of Technic racing cars. Will look great around 911 RSR and Ferrari 488 GTE seeing as all 3 cars are from WEC

[@therickman1990]

And the same scale which I really like

[@simonj126]

I have the 3 models you mentioned....the Peugeot is by far my favorite

[@manti1923]

Interesting build...still in two minds about it...keep up the good work my man....

[@showcasebrix8740]

I thinkk its sick how they did the electric motor, I think it beats out other 1:10 cars due to its more advanced and newer suspension mechanisms and the unique representation of the hybrid drivetrin

[@Bricks.Master.Builders]

Thank you for this amazing review, it's a very cool set and i will buy it as soon as it is available in my country 😊

[@joem4972]

I'm only just getting back into Lego after years away. I built set 42000 (the red and white F1 car) years ago and loved it, so want to get more Technic. This set is the first one I've seen that really appeals to me. The Chiron is my favourite car of all time, but the Lego version of that, the Ferrari and the Lamborghini all look kinda off to me, and I don't know why. I think this is gonna be the set I finally pick up as I think it looks really good!

[@hellisio]

This looks fantastic. I will definitely be getting it.

[@BlackSun6393]

Something about it reminds me of those Lego-Alternative sets. In a good way. Very unique.

[@beanbaguk]

I've got the original LeMans racer on my wall, but I'm wondering with this one, I might not be able to hang it. It looks like the engine cover just sits on the car without any proper attachments. If I hang that on my wall, it'll fall right off, so it'll definitely need some mods. Or I might not just buy this one....

[@testohtoby]

I was REALLY skeptical about this one. This detailed review changed my point quite a bit but I can't justify 200€ on this set :(

[@gpsmodul6660]

Eine super Vorstellung des Bausatz ohne Vorverurteilung. Ich bin großer Peugeotfan und habe mir das Set für 130€ vorbestellt. Ich kann es kaum erwarten bis der Bausatz ausgeliefert (ab 1.Mai) wird und ich mein ersten Lego Technic Bausatz zusammen baue

[@tunedmonkeys]

Very cool looking build. Definitely picking one up!

[@clevmagyk770]

i like sets with stickers cus then i can have a plain car if i just dont put them on. seriously impressed with this set and the review, stunning.

[@ElijahBradley08]

Looks amazing, the windscreen assembly looks a little odd without the glass but that's my only criticism.

[@kieranforrest5263]

Thinking of getting this as my first technic build!

[@wrigleyx]

08:10 Yes hard to fix, and esay to confuse, that's right, so as fronts lights parts. 8 hours to build for me, and happy with the final result , looks great :)

[@BrixyHW]

In my opinion this is the best 1/10 scale car yet.

[@TYMON.DRIFT1]

Could you show the steering angle because most sets like the sian have realy bad steering angle

[@Wojciechwrzalik]

The car looks great! And good 1st part of review of the peugeot🎉 good video racing brick and keep making video's bro!

[@inarifoxking]

“preheating the caps-lock button” has got to be one of the best phrases of all time

[@maxstonecro1]

Im glad I haven't seen other vids about the Peugeot. Your's is very nice!

[@alexandruilea6471]

I remember buying the 24-hour racecar for 100 euros back in 2015, and now the price has doubled on the new build. Time flies ....

[@ProWierdchamp]

I just got this LEGO set today. Looks awesome

[@wings9925]

Great review, as always. One of the better 1/10 'lite' cars 👍🏻

[@johnyboy.c]

Got this car for my birthday Also earned the money to get the lambo Sian thanks to you I found my knew favorite hobby 😁

[@LimChingLiang]

6:07 1st weakness of this set. Using 4640536 Gear 16 tooth will causing front wheel and steering cannot in-line properly.

[@broncos8241]

My biggest issue with the Peugeot (I just got it) is that there is no interior sticking. I know it is a small complaint, but the 911 RSR and the Ferrari 488 GTE got interiors and sticker details. I feel for the price, we should have gotten that

[@robrath31]

42049 actually = 42039 , not complaining, just sharing so others can find the original :) cheers for the 9x8 video! Love the look of this new beast!

[@Invun]

ok this looks a lot better then expected!

[@enkrypt3d]

is there a way to add an electric motor and remote control functions? this would be so much fun if so!

[@gfogerty54]

Balazs, thank you for your great video !

[@TestarossaF110]

I get they didn't do the Porsche or Ferrari WEC car.... but, I'd still really really REALLY want those!!! they look soo beautiful. (also the BMW btw)

[@SneezingEagle]

Insane model, awseome video and build process. Excited to get this one started! Cheers

[@maddadbricks]

Will definitely be saving up for this!!

[@GubstersGarage]

Like the colors here!

[@encaged314]

I love the shape and color of the car. I'd be very interested in seeing it without most of the stickers.

[@newjeansXjuventus]

What's the remaining brick of Lego Peugeot?

[@philipbrits2984]

Hi Balazs. Did you also have some extra parts after phase 1? Should there be extra parts in this technic set. This is my first technic build. Regards

[@RacingBrick]

There are also a few small extra pieces in LEGO sets. If you check the set's inventory on rebrickable.com, you will find the list of spare parts at the end

[@ThuNder12805]

I'm sad, I spent all on sp3 now can't afford this one :(

[@dylandinkleberg8511]

On my build I missed the small gear put onto the engine so when I got to bag 3 I realized there wasn’t any connection from the engine to wheels😭😭

[@johnathanmoyer2375]

"It's a Le Mans Race Car, what else did we expect?" Thank you! I think complaints about stickers are absolutely pointless when the car the model is based on is covered in decals itself.

[@scubamaggy]

Awesome video as always, I also have the 24hr one this is a more refined version though. I may get it.

[@cmac8722]

I'm wondering if the new shock absorbers would fit on the Tchnic McLaren F1 car. That uses the older yellow shock absorbers and given the weight of the car after a while they lose their bounce and the car sits completely flat with no ground clearance. Does anybpdy have any advice on this?

[@albertspaargaren]

Thanks for the review, only one question how can I set my time ?

[@joelapera6676]

great review and video ill be getting the porsch kit on saturday

[@thieswithsasquatch430]

When I look in the unumberd bags I can’t find the large grams that connect to the engine

[@zonoskar]

Why are the tops of the front wheel arches open? It's not on the real car, right?

[@RacingBrick]

It is on the real car as well

[@zonoskar]

@@RacingBrick Ah, I see. But the opening is much smaller on the real car.

[@ronaldr.236]

I was hesitant to get this set since it is not to scale with the bigger sets that I already have. However, I really liked it when I saw it in one of those random articles. This is a great review as I just literally pressed the "Order" button on the Lego website before watching it. These sets are increasingly getting expensive and I justified the purchase only because I have points and was able to avail of a decent discount (it was really between this and the Star Wars UCS X-Wing which I already have, albeit in a previous iteration). Again, good job on the review.

[@marcbiosa-roberteau7061]

Hello from France ! This is a must have and invest in. 😍 It will sell like crazy here !

[@Mizumisha]

Both of my diffs aren’t spinning the other wheel when I spin the one 😭 idk why, I’ve rebuilt it and idk why

[@SaperPl1]

Is it the first time when you had to use some force and flex some assemblies while attaching things? I don't recall any of your previous assembly videos looking like that. Feels as if the quality of the instruction dropped significantly.

[@silviosgro]

Thank you Balazs for your reviews. 😊. Question: generally in these Lego sets are there some extra spare bricks? I am mounting this set together with my child.. I followed the instructions carefully but i have 6/7 pieces left already from the first bags (numbered 1).. I ask as I am not a Lego expert.. Anyway.. Maybe in the next months we'll disassemble it an retry! 😅 Thanx again and Happy New Year 🎉

[@RacingBrick]

Thank you, happy new year to you too! There are spare parts in LEGO sets, usually not bigger than 1x1. You can find the list of the spare parts at the end of this page - rebrickable.com/sets/42156-1/peugeot-9x8-le-mans-hybrid-hypercar/?spot=search_global#parts

[@silviosgro]

Thank You Balazs! I found my bricks left in the spare parts list 😉 Have a nice evening!! 😊

[@dgripper05]

Does it seem more full and solid than the Ferrari and porche? Those just seem huge and empty, never been a fan of those

[@RacingBrick]

Way more solid, demonstration & comparison in the next video

[@ivanqu7434]

Is it as bad as the other 1:10 scale models?

[@philipbrits2984]

Hi man. I recently found the hobby of lego. Thinking of this as my first set. Is it possible to motorize this set with lego parts?

[@RacingBrick]

You can find multiple motorizations on rebrickable.com, I suggest to check that out

[@OfficialTransformers]

I’m falling in the rabbit hole myself 😅 I’m starting to like animating these sets!!! I might grab this one next‼️

I just bought this fur $150cad can’t wait to build it

Can you try making video about Ho Chi Minh Skyline(In Vietnam) From Lego Architecture please?

[@calvincampbell64]

It looks so dope

[@RSX0999]

I wish this set have Printed pieces and switchable 2WD to 4WD or All wheel drive system. Other than that set is spectacular

[@actnyr]

Hey RacingBrick, Ive had a question for a while, what are those shelves and where did you get it from? Ive been pretty interested in them.

[@RacingBrick]

I have a video about them, search for IKEA on the channel

[@actnyr]

@@RacingBrick Alright, Thanks so much man.

[@whiskeytangofoxtrot7455]

Is it in the same scale as technic ferrari 488?

I had been waiting for a discount on this set and it finally hit yesterday :) I ll take my 30 USD off and move on to the build :)

[@darrellaldrich8334]

I'm looking forward to acquiring several of the new 3x5 lift arms. May I have your permission to use the image of it from your video in my KZbin community page?

[@RacingBrick]

Sure, go ahead

[@theebeexd]

Hi, could you please compare it to the McLaren F1 car aswell ? Just for the sake of scale :DD

[@Mustyyy47]

cool build but where is the gearbox

[@Frazec_Atsjenkov]

Being first is overrated. Your reviews of Technic models offer the best insight. It's the first time I see that blue spring, what is your opinion of it? Do you think it offers benefits to justify its larger size?

[@RacingBrick]

That spring was included in 2 sets already. It is pretty hard, so you might use the same space with 2 classic ones to have a similar effect.

[@brendan_creator]

This may sound weird but I personally like applying stickers because it completes the build and more detailed.

[@pavelspopovics2655]

Nice set, but still waiting for 42146 Leibherr. :)

[@baljhass75]

Very very nice car

[@fairminer]

Thought it was 42039 24hr le man's race car? Not 42049
