Thanks I'll probably look for 9398 elsewhere and I hope the replay-ability is there compare to 42030.

I would also want to learn bout the basics of RC so I know what components to purchase in the future for my other Creator sets.

yeah, after build, play around with it, maybe modify a bit, then dismantle and keep in original box
i only have a space enough to put 1 set, and i also use big plastic to cover it from dust...
if i want to build a new set, i have to dismantle, keep in box first before build the new set

currently is my B model of 42052 in place...
i have to dismantle the rotor part, the rotor of helicopter take huge place
it seems there will be some holiday after few weeks... may build the A model at the holiday

i'm using the box of 42009, 42030 (looks like my mistake, 42030 box is open front, open side is the technic of this year )
and one small box, i think is 42008...
all my technic parts i keep in these box, 42008 i keep only wheels

you're welcome
any problem for your modification do feel free to share here, i'm sure there's a lot of sifu here willing to help

Thanks but first I would need to source for one and it has gone tremendously high in price.

If not mistaken, 42043 has a front open box type as well.
Anyway how to keep the lego inside the box without dismantling them?

Ya, 42052 is really space consuming because of the rotor.
The solution is to build model A for display since it has single rotor rather than 2 as in model B. And I try to align the blade together to make it fits into my bookshelf with certain angle :-P

Haha, because MOC really consumes a lot of efforts and time.
But some original sets are really really nice for display, undeniable

in case nobody posted this review...this is one of the early reviews...

Poison......argggghhhhh........its getting closer....

well, not easy to find, and price not good as well...
but i think this set should be still able to get if u willing to pay for it
anyway, good luck with your finding

42043 mercedes benz arocs...
this box is open side... so i cannot use back to keep my technic

the box have to be big enough for the set if u do not want to dismantle it
for me, i just dismantle it, and keep in the box...

with open front box, it quite like a new set...
just difference are no plastic bag, no empty space, very heavy, and it is used set


helicopter really take big space because of rotor...
i do have a few cheap helicopter diecast, and the rotor give me big trouble, i have to turn to certain angle to fit in my bookshelf

but lego, it is easy... just dismantle the rotor will do

Oh ya, the merz arocs front open just to display the model and its function.
Only realize after i dig my store room to look at the box.

Helicopter without rotor is no longer a helicopter,haha

haha i also check my box to double confirm

well, it's true that without rotor is not helicopter anymore
but i'm not display my technic set, just use a big plastic bag to cover it, i guess still ok

Thanks all for the advice. I've managed to get myself the 4x4 Crawler 9398 and I shall attempt to build this as a first Technic buyer.

On another note which set to purchase which is worth the money so I can keep as spares or probably mod my 4x4 Crawler.

looks like u manage to find this set

it is a good set to be first technic set
my first technic set is just a small set of technic

after u build and play around with the 9398
should be know how RC work/what part require for RC
and u will know what parts require to do your modification

Just few more days to September 2016 which sets to buy

fresh off the shelf...
