They do have more interesting parts n mechanisms n pneumatics
I actually haven't own a set with pneumatics, hope to get one soon
First, I need to catch up with a few more backlog of previous years sets b4 buying new sets, it's a never ending journey!

I have an offer for 42000, not sure want to take or not
Let me check the building instructions for supercars.
I know some have gearbox (with reverse), pneumatic as suspension, ... maybe can learn something new

edit: for pneumatics, 8110 is the current set. Frankly, at this moment, pneumatics has more disadvantages compared to Linear Actuator.
Advantage of pneumatic:
- more "realistic"
- good for far out places, where gears/axles are not suitable.
- compact for far our places, as no need beams to hold the gears/axles.
Disadvantage:
- shorter cylinder rod extension
- less powerful than LA
- air compressible, not hydraulic.
- no accuracy.
- slow response when activated, need to build up the pressure. Then suddenly fully extended (no accuracy).
- air leaking if left for long time.
etc. That's all I recall so far.
