Naturally I had to go out and buy the latest Technic Supercar the moment I heard some stores had it, and I put it together the same night. I tried to remember to take pictures as I went along, but I was pretty excited. So without further ado, here is my review of the Supercar II. Note that I am using lo res photos here, but you can get high res versions on my Brickshelf account (once moderated).
一听到店里这款最新的Technic Supercar上架,我想都没想就去买了回来,而且当晚就搭好了。期间我尽量让自己停下来拍照,但还是止不住兴奋;) ,不啰嗦了,下面是我对这辆第二代Supercar的评鉴,你可以去我的Brickshlelf看高分辨率图片:

Lets start with some pictures of the box. As usual, this box is much larger than necessary, being no more than 25-30% full by volume. The box is of the recent "destroy it to open it" variety. I try to destroy mine as lightly as possible by cutting the rear flap with a razor blade. The front of the box shows the main model and then the functions within the orange Power Functions band on the right. The back of the box shows the alternate hot rod model. There is no parts list on the outside of the box.
先从盒子开始。跟平时一样,盒子比实际需要还大得多,按容量算的话还不够25~30%满。盒子是最近那种“开盒即破坏”的类型,我用剃刀切开后盖来尽量减轻破坏。盒子正面是主造型,电机功能展示在右边。背面是次造型的改装车,盒子上没有零件列表。
As a matter of interest, there are no pictures of the back of the car on either the box or in any of the marketing materials. It turns out there is a reason for this.
很有趣地,不管是盒子还是宣传资料上都没有车的背面图片,这当然是有原因的。:cool:
Inside the box are about a dozen poly bags, instructions, and a sticker sheet. This is the first set I have purchased which uses the new method of putting cardboard in with the instructions. I appreciated this very much since it resulted in pristine instructions. The instructions are divided into 3 books for the primary model only. As with most current instructions, they are broken down into truly tiny steps, some with only a couple of friction pins to install. The model could easily have been put into one book. The instructions for the alternate model are also 3 volumes but must be downloaded.
盒子里面是一大堆袋子、说明书和贴纸,这是我买过的第一个用硬卡纸跟说明书放一起的套装,我很欣赏这种做法因为它保持了说明书的完整,只有3本主造型说明书,跟绝大多数说明一样,他们被分成非常细致的步骤,有些步骤仅仅只是安装几个插稍而已,实际上就是一本书也可以搞定了。次造型说明书也是分成3部分,但必须到官网下载。
Now well look at the parts. The first picture shows all of them laid out on the table, partially sorted. The Power Functions parts consist only of an M motor and a battery box. The second image shows the large number of newer red panels. There are 6 large wide panels, 10 medium wide panels, and 2 medium narrow panels. The next image shows the liftarms, of which there are many. Most are either black or red. The parts for the seats and dash are dark gray. The frame is light gray. This would have been a nice time to start making this part in black, but no such luck.
现在来看零件,第一幅图全摆好在桌上了,部分还排好了,电机部分只有一个M马达和一个电池盒。第二张图是大量的新红色科技面板,有6个大面板、10个中面板和2个中型窄面板,第三张图是孔臂,好多,大部分是红与黑,零件和仪表板部分是深灰色的,框架是浅灰,如果这个零件是黑色的就好了,但运气不够好。:confused:
Now lets see the special parts. The first image shows the collection of gears. Not as many as 8043, but quite a respectable quantity (note that I inadvertently left the 12 tooth bevel gears out of the picture). The 16 tooth spur gears are the new reinforced variety. The next image shows the expensive parts. There are 8 control arms (new narrower size), 4 of the wheel hubs, a differential, two transmission driving rings, 4 stiff shock absorbers, 6 steering links, 4 CV joints (dogbones), and 2 of the new CV sockets (the only new parts in the set).
看特殊零件,第一张图是齿轮,虽然没有8043的多,但仍然是相当不少的(我还不慎漏了一个12齿没拍到),其中16齿是新的强化版,第二张图是比较贵的零件,
8个控制臂(新的窄版),

2个新的等速插座(Google叫球笼半轴,这个set里面的唯一的新零件)。

Time to start building. The first image shows the beginning of the transmission, the heart of the car. The two parallel axles will be driven at the same rate by the motor, and the clutch gears will be used when engaged to drive the four motorized functions. Two non-motorized functions (engine and steering) will also pass through the same area, making this section very dense. The next two images shows the transmission installed in the beginnings of the chassis. The view from above shows the white clutch gear which protects the motor from stalling. It is driven directly by an 8 tooth pinion on the M motor. The long axle sticking out the front will go to the V-8 engine from the rear wheels. The last image shows a view from below. The gears you see are one level under the transmission.
开工,第一张图是换挡的搭建,整车的核心,2个平行的十字轴将被马达以相同的速率驱动,而各离合齿轮(之前提到的16齿,http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=6542)用于控制分别驱动4个电动功能,2个非电动功能(引擎和转向)也是通过这个区域的,所以这个区域非常的密集,接下来的两张图是换挡器安装在车辆底盘,从俯视图可以看到白色离合齿轮是用于保护马达的,它由马达上固定的的8齿齿轮直接驱动,而那条很长的十字轴是直接从后轮连接到V-8引擎,最后一张图是底部图,所看到的齿轮是在换挡器的下一级。
This next image shows the rear axle and suspension assembly. It features independent suspension and a differential gear. The CV joint "dogbone" system is used here which allows the pivot points of the drive axle to be in the same plane as the suspension pivots, as it should be. This arrangement is exactly like the R/C cars and trucks that I build use The axle stub coming out the front will go to the engine. The following image shows the suspension assembly in the chassis along with the completed gearbox.
下一张图是后轮轴和悬挂的组装,包括两边轮子的独立悬挂和一个差速器,等速连接的狗骨系统(参见说明书1第59页)在这里用于使驱动轴的中心点和悬挂的中心点处于同一个水平面,这个设计就像我搭建的无线遥控车和卡车。突出来的十字轴末端将会连接到引擎。再下一张图是悬挂系统和之前的换挡器装在底盘上的样子。
This next image shows the rear spoiler, the first mechanical function to be completed. A crank further forward uses a link to pull the spoiler which is on a 4 bar linkage. The next image shows the seats. There are a couple of things to notice here. The first is that the seats are truncated because the gearbox interferes with the inboard edges. The next is that the gearbox is not centered in the chassis; it is off by one stud. This means the attachments to the seats are not symmetric.
下一张图是后端扰流板,将被完成的第一个电机功能:在前部远端的一个曲臂拉起一个4杆结构件(参见说明书1第76页)。再下一张图是座位,有几个地方值得注意:首先,因为换挡器挡住的缘故,座位的一部分被截短了,其次,换挡器并不在底盘的正中间,而是偏了一个stud,所以座位并不对称。
