Generally, Technic and Mindstorm are the most technical Lego sets, hence will take longer time. Even compared to Modular/Creator series.
Except maybe 10179

Don't have to match charger brands with batteries.

You dived into the deep end if this is your first Technic set! lol!
You can't rush through a Technic build like how you do with regular bricks... Just remember, you NEVER have to apply excessive force when connecting the pins or pieces. If you find yourself doing that and forcing things to come together then something is wrong somewhere and you should stop and check. Also make it a habit to check your build every so often, turn the gears to check for free play etc.
And axle are always going to be straight! lol!

This is one of the big question in my mind previously before buying Eneloop, since I have GP charger
Indeed he dived to the top 10 deepest in technicality.
Yes, everytime put an axle with gears, bushes, must test rotate the axle and it should spin quite freely without friction. Then have to adjust by 0.1-0.2mm but not too much.
One way is to count the empty holes from left-to-right and right-to-left to confirm the correct position.
Yes, axle are always straight. If curve/bend, they will use tube or flexible hose.

Hi everyone. I just went to LLM recently and fall in love again with Lego. I am planning to buy 1 Lego Technic as my 1st start. I am looking at the 9398 Crawler and The 42009 Crane. Can you guys suggest me which one is the worth buy?
If you have past experience on Technic already, I suggest either 9398 or 8110 (older set) for big sets.
42009 is new and will be around for another 2 years for you to save money.
Else, can start with smaller/medium sets like 4200x series (42000, 42004, 42006, 42007, ...)
