DLuders Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 [bUMP] IF TLG produces a 180€ flagship Lego Technic Rock Crawler set in 2H2012 (as rumored in this TechnicBRICKS article), it SURE WOULD BE NICE if it came with the 8110 Unimog U400 set's portal axle and the HUGE Power Puller wheels. From Barman/ Barman76's Flickr photoset, the combination will work: Quote
dhc6twinotter Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 I would love to see some new power puller sized tires. If we are indeed getting a rock crawler flagship, I have my doubts that it will be RC. I think it would be something similar to 8466. You never know though.... Quote
timslegos Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 New powerpuller wheels would be awesome! i would doubt that it is R/C too, unless TLG specifically says not to use it outdoors. AFOL's have been building truck trial trucks for ages, why wouldn't TLG make one to? tim Quote
allanp Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) Whilst a rock crawler could be great, depending on what new parts it has, I think I would prefere a monster truck with new, power puller sized moster truck wheels (really big tyres on a relativly tiny wheel), inside which would be a new planetary gear reduction hub that works with very little friction and can take lots of torque. Oh and, of course, two new motors, a proper servo for steering, and an L-motor with no internal gear reduction. Edited December 10, 2011 by allanp Quote

Grimmy Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 I've always wanted to make some of these crazy trucks I see people make on youtube but they seem to cost a ton and require completed gear arrangements and I always wondered if people broke any Lego parts driving it. Quote
allanp Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 A well thought out gear train need not break anything, however i'm sure many gears have been left in pieces in the dirt before now. Quote

Most definitely. I've seen horror images after some of these truck trial events. Quote
timslegos Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 The only thing I ever broke with my truck trial truck were the old 4L u-joints. Tim Quote
