42083 - Post Build

markscottuk

Just finished the set, took around 3 weeks on and off, including waiting for a missing part (which came pretty quickly).

I noticed that the set appears "flimsy" with things like the wheels popping off, the front moving about and there are 2 blue parts which seem to move freely at the front of the model (I may have forgotten to clip them somehow.

one thing I am disappointed about is the engine is no longer "moving" (the yellow bits).  How easy is it to get this going again?

The wheels shouldn't easily pop off, and I doubt any part of a Technic design is intended to be flimsy or stop working, so I can only presume (I haven't built mine yet and I wouldn't hold your breath for that to happen) that there's been a step or two missed in the instructions, although seeing as you've finished it it might be hard to fix without a total rebuild. Some photos might help and then maybe some Technic people who HAVE built the Chiron could comment...
