lobo1969 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I wonder how sturdy those tracks are going to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 This does look cool and I'd love to chase the cats around the garden with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffin Cup Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I hope they include a bunch of the rubber studs to increase traction, else these will be quite slip and slidy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It´s worth getting some elastic bands tied to them to add traction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Is it not the same tracks that are used in other technic sets like 8275 Bulldozer and Excavator? Those tracks were pretty good I thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those tracks were pretty good I thought same as on 42042. Spoiler. Half the part count is tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordoflego Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I really like it but im worried it will be slow and lame like most Lego remote controlled vehicles, hope I'm wrong. I'd love to install a camera on it and chase animals and such.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I reckon £79.99 due to the PF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 https://shop.lego.com/en-GB/RC-Tracked-Racer-42065 Nope, 75 GBP it is. Most Technic guys will already have the parts to build one - 42030 Volvo or 9398 are good starting points with 42042 for the tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Prolly. Tamiya or similar make way beter RC vehicles for the same or less. I guess it could also mean there is no RC flagship again next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
