allanp Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 With the added axle hole the valve looks even better than my original sketch idea I posted in 2011! Weather they saw this or not I'm feeling very well listened to by TLG right now, thank you TLG but of course I have many other ideas Cough http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=196086 cough! BTW they say that the blade is pneumatic as well! I suspect that means it turns through 180 degrees or something, but if it turns continuously?!!!! Quote

I confirm: - new power founctions 2.0 on train (controllable both by app or by means of a new remote) - new pneumatic valves with axle hole to control them (as already stated before) - the Volvo will be fully manual... but it’ BIG (bigger than the CLAAS) - the secondary model of the Volvo will be a Volvo autonomous truck - Forest thingy have PF motorized compressor, with two valves for boom and pinch/blade (blade is pneumatic, too). - forest harvester secondary model will be a forest manipulator - the crane is HUGE.... no HUGER! PF motorized with only one L motor. all functions controlled with both function and direction control by a single lever (boom elevation, extension and winch). have 4 wheels steering, 8V fake engine and motorized superstructure turning and stabilizer deployment. What about 42079? Quote

Back to the sets: - What is "forest manipulator" supposed to be? I meant something like a Logger 15 minutes ago, Cardboy said: More importantly what size are the dog bones They seemed to be standard 14720 in red 8 minutes ago, Akbalder said: One lever per function or one for everything? One for all of the functions: moving left-right chooses the function, moving forward-back chooses the direction. superstructure turning and outriggers controls are in the base. Boom is 1 stage Outriggers seem 1 stage Quote
Maaboo the Witch Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 @Rikus Are the wheel hubs on 42080 still DBG? Quote

Damn I seriously hope that's just a typo, on the prelim images in the 2018 catalogue there was difinitely an XL motor on the box. If they changed that to an L motor it would be disappointing imo.

Maaboo the Witch Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 1 minute ago, suffocation said: L Motor instead of XL? Damn 42009 and 42042 only needed an L-motor to operate. Granted, 42009 was a bit underpowered, but 42082's system looks similar to '42's, and those building parts don't look too heavy. I'd say the L is standard for cranes now. 2 minutes ago, Akbalder said: Is there a B model for the crane? Prelim box said '2 in 1' so I'd guess so. Funnily enough, 42079 doesn't. Quote

I was on the wrong side of the desk, while they demoed it... it could be an XL... but if I heard correctly, the guy showing it told us it’s an L. Quote

Fingers crossed then, so much more torque in an XL compared to an L, if the crane is as massive as they say it'll need lifting power to match its size... Quote

Yer, rope and pulleys. Something like 8416, but the set is much smaller. Quote

AVCampos Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Also, the new design makes it trivial to attach to a PF servo, although the servo probably has a too large range of motion. Quote
jovel Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Does someone know if the new power functions 2.0 uses the "old / current" connecting plugs or new ones like for example from the Boost set? Supporting the old ones would make sense. However, with new ones LEGO would "force" people to buy / upgrade all there motors ( so more money for LEGO ). Quote

Yes, the servo has a 90 degree range, the valve definitely does not. However you can gear it down, or you can use a train controller/sbrick/buwizz for precise controls. Quote
Frequenzberater Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Someone mentioned before, that the blade of the harvester is moving powered by pneumatic. So, can it be understood as a confirmation of a pneumatic motor? Quote
