I think the front mudguards are white or am I wrong?

[Robert M]

If you're unsure about where the white panels are, look again, I missed them the first time, after going back to look at mudguards, they jumped put. The fronf of the truck is white, but I can't see the 5x11 panel.

Maby that panel is on the roof of the cabin?

[Robert M]

I think you're right, it may be above the orage vertical piece as you can possibly see on the image from the rear of the vehicle ( top right image of the box, there seems to be a white blob of some sort )

The b model looks pretty cool to. I wonder if it will just be a redesign of the body, or a whole different model?

I don't know if you guys noticed but for the drive train in the front of 9398, LEGO used a grey or bley 20t bevel gear.

It looks like the B model of Crawler is some kind of Tatra truck. Looking pretty good!

i think it is a different frame, look at the box, it shows the movement of the axles, independant, tatra?

why would lego show the movement for the b-model extra?

i hope tatra, i just desmanteled my 12X12 :D

I think that the arrows show that you can change the bodywork, the axles and chassis will be the same as the A model, maybe I am wrong but we will see this time...

I would agree with you, if you look closely, it looks like the body has been separated a little from the chassis. I think the b-model will just be a change in body.

I agree the body I'd say comes off according to the 4 arrows on the box art,I'm looking forward to this set now a lot, do the truck trial guys thing this is going to be any good as an off roader ?

I would probably change the steering to use a regular m motor and take out the differential and try to lighten the body, but other than that it looks good.

Sounds great ;)

Guys iv watched the video from the German toy show over and over again and iv noticed something that I'm not sure was mentioned before, from the video I think I see a selector or gears tick between the seats,

It does not look like a dummy stick ether as it looks to be selected to the right hand side, am I correct or it this something else?a two speed gearbox would be nice :) wishfully thinking tho!

My wild guess it's meant for switching on/off the battery box.

Never taught of that,would be nice if we're wrong tho ;) is the battery box placed in the middle!

It's somewhere in the middle, it's visable in one of the pictures, can't remember where.

[Cwetqo]

You mean this?

[timslegos]

It looks like a selector switch to me..

Maybe it is a gearbox, maybe even including new gears.

tim

[sama]

What would the gearbox be used for?

[timslegos]

What would the gearbox be used for?

Change between slow and fast drive?

tim

[Cwetqo]

2 or 4 wheel steering?

But I still think that its just decorative.

[davidmull]

You mean this?

I can't believe I was first to spot this :) I hope it's for a fast slow gear!

[sama]

tim

But the motors are up front and back, separated, unless you mean proportional control?
