This was the 614 Digger. I got it in 1976, when I was 4. I still remember this like it was yesterday. I was vacationing with my parents and another family on Gran Canaria (Canary Islands). This trip was very special for me, this was my first plane ride and my first long distance trip that I remember. And you must understand that we lived in Yugoslavia, a communist country back then, so travel to exotic places was a special privilege. We stayed at a very nice resort \u2013 there was a swimming pool, surrounded by 4 bungalows. I remember sitting on the living room sofa when my father gave me the 614 and we opened and assembled it together. The box opened like the cigarette boxes back then.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As you can see on the picture, I still have the 614 and box ?<\/p>\n<p><span style=%22font-size: 16px;%22><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8221; custom_padding__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|hover&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;20px|20px|20px|20px|true|true&#8221; width__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|hover&#8221; width__hover=&#8221;100%&#8221; title_text__hover=&#8221;background-cards&#8221; background_image__hover=&#8221;https:\/\/buwizz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/background-cards.jpg&#8221; background_enable_image__hover=&#8221;on&#8221; background_size__hover=&#8221;cover&#8221; use_background_color_gradient__hover=&#8221;on&#8221; background_color_gradient_start__hover=&#8221;#191919&#8243; background_color_gradient_end__hover=&#8221;rgba(94,94,94,0.48)&#8221; background__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|hover&#8221; background_blend__hover=&#8221;color-dodge&#8221; null__hover=&#8221;rgba(94,94,94,0.36)&#8221; text_font_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; text_font_size__hover=&#8221;15px&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/buwizz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/LEGO-Technic-614.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"410\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-248514 alignnone size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buwizz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/LEGO-Technic-614.jpg 500w, https:\/\/buwizz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/LEGO-Technic-614-480x394.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 500px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.10.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;c8a0dee3-e2cc-4d2d-9f35-849d2f6bacdd&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Montserrat|700|||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;36px&#8221; max_width=&#8221;450px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; max_height=&#8221;450px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|0px|||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;26px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; content__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|hover&#8221; content__hover=&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=%22font-size: 16px;%22><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=%22font-size: 16px;%22><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=%22font-size: 16px;%22><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=%22font-size: 16px;%22>My first Technic set was the mighty 853 Car chassis \u2013 the first of the LEGO\u00ae Technic supercars.

We had our first working prototypes in 2013. We figured out that even though smartphone control is cool, it still does not solve the performance issue \u2013 the 9398 and other models were relatively slow and underpowered. We brainstormed about ways to get more performance out of existing Power functions motors and it quickly became apparent we need to have our own power source, more powerful than original batteries. We decided to add a battery and power boost electronics to our smartphone-controlled device.

There was a lot of speculation on LEGO\u00ae related forums and chat groups about the color (orange or violet &#8211; just like the original &#8211; were the only options, of course) and whether it will have motors and remote control or not (based on the relatively high anticipated price, some assumed it will have motors). This was all going on while we were preparing and running the Kickstarter campaign.
