LEGO Technic Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey Tiltrotor with Motor Functions Helicopter Toy

Product Information

The teeth of 3647 are the same thickness and profile as those of the type 2 gear 10928, but the new gear has a thicker rim which prevents it of slipping inside a beam hole while the old one doesn't. Set number 42113 was an officially licensed model of the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft used by the US Navy, Marines, Air Force and Japanese Self-Defense Forces. It has been 2 years since the last proper Technic set, with drive axles and gearbox and bi-directional switches. This picture, also from Reddit, shows the offending gears: the three 8t ones on the right, which as you can see above, are in a tight space in the gearbox so can't be replaced with anything else. If they’re so terrified of children swooshing a plane around, maybe change it from boring grey to orange and white or something.

The shape looks great, and the proportions are beautiful, not to mention a lot of moving parts inside and outside of the aircraft. I don’t like to complain about the LEGO pieces’ condition, but one of the curved panels 5x13x2 came with a massive scratch on the top. If you do the former with the gearbox switched ready to rotate the blades, the motor struggles to get up to speed due to the friction it needs to overcome and the first couple of 8t gears in the chain can't handle the torque.

For the simple hub version, a motor that'll be connected to it would at every point in time operate at maxspeed.The engines are tilted forwards and back using the top switch on the left, while flicking the top switch on the left rotates the blades. The only new part in the set is the Powered Up battery box which, at last, enables PU motors to be simply switched on and off without the need for the complexity of hubs and smartphones. Despite being a licensed product, the set comes with absolutely no additional information about the real aircraft.

Last week, LEGO has officially announced that one of its upcoming Technic sets, the 42113 Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey is canceled due to its association with militaries. Don't forget the entire DOTS line was shelved not too far from release due to parts not being acceptable to Lego product control (I can't remember the exact wording). Although the pdf only shows the fix for the left nacelle, from step 317 to 325, the same should be applied to the right one, from step 296 to 302. The new Powered Up Battery Box was (still) exclusively available for the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey and therefore you must come up with a different solution for the time being.

How does that passes the first stage and make it into production, is even more of a glaring concern compared to the design flaw described here. Given how great the whole thing is designed, we can forgive them one boo-boo (it’s happened before). I'm not familiar with the operation of the PoweredUp system, and while Huw said the new battery box is the same form factor as the hub, I don't know how easy it is to simply run a motor with the hub (for testing, etc.

The set itself has no "special" value, but it is limited, extremely limited, which differentiates it from the majority of other sets in the last years. Once movement is complete, turn the motor off, or move the gearbox switch into the central neutral position. As well as a redesign of the gear box needed, I just don't understand why there are no 24 white clutch gears anywhere to protect the motor and other gears when extremes are reached?

I experienced the exact same problems while building and testing a copy for my review at The Brothers Brick.The licensing doesn't cover just the name, but also the likeness—which is why most non-licensed vehicles in sets have key differences from the real-world vehicles they seem to be based on. When it came time to take off, they lined up on the runway, and had to cancel takeoff because the weather turned bad. The first one I can think of is the issue that was found in the first production run of the Emerald Night where a "6589 Technic Gear 12 Tooth Bevel" could actually fall off the axle it was connected to.

Anyone pointing out that those were not licensed, is ignoring the fact that Lego didn’t quote the licensing deal contributing to the cancellation. I've seen the technique used on youtube (the brick experiment chanel) when they've been gearing down a motor to lift increasingly ludicrous weights. For some, it's just an investment, for others a status symbol, and for many of us, a totem with a good story and some inherent "quality".It looks to me that as long as you have the motor running prior to the engagement of the gearbox, disengage the gearbox as functions reach their limits of travel (landing gear, ramp, engines), and don't block moving parts (landing gear, props), it should operate relatively fine and without many issues. Fun fact: there is also a flex axle in the same bag, but since it’s black and thin, it’s hardly noticeable inside a sealed bag. Between this and colour issues, increasingly mangled manuals and sticker sheets, Lego's quality control is really going down hill fast in the last year or so. This is an effect of Legos own anti-war-toy policy, that other parties points to it and that makes Lego enforce it is only natural.
