Thoughts on the new wheels/tires in the UCS Batman Tumbler

Recommended Posts

The front wheels/tires would look great on the 42000...

I am expecting to see a big american style chopper from Bricksonwheels soon..... :laugh:

But those are Unimog tires...

They do look like them...but are the hubs a different size to the front?

If so then we might get a new color of hub...

Ah Huh! So that is what they brought the old style worm gear back for... :laugh:

The nice thing about this set is that you can sell off the 2 minifigures for probably almost 1/2 of what the set sells for... That is if you are not into minifigure collecting...

That Heath Ledger style joker figure is going to be HOT.

I can now confirm that the rear wheels are unimog wheels or that the wheel hubs come in a new color... :laugh:

Why are they not using lego shocks at the back?

Was wondering that too... Looks like a perfect set up for some simple suspension..

I think the hubs are just the 42000 ones(The rear) but are gold colored...

I hope TLG will release a regular technic set with those front tires somewhere in 2015 - otherwise they will be crazy expensive on BL.

Yeah, they will be expensive...

You may be able to buy them right from Lego though...

The tread design may limit there use to only cars and bikes,but not many will complain about that.

Those front hubs are rear 42000 hubs. If you look closely, you'll see that it has 2 pin holes exactly as in the 42000 hub, and the front wheels look to be connected with a 3 pin hub, suggesting the use of 42000 wheel hubs. Oh, and it looks like the rear is using Unimog portal hubs.

OMG.... :wub::wub::wub:

New half connectors holding the wheel hub too. nice.

Doesn't look like it steers tho.

Shame its on those wheels tho! Lets not forget those wheels spin inside the tire like mad!

They look amazing on the tumbler, but are a little too wide in my opinion, good for F1. :grin:

People will be modding the hell out of this thing!
