Defender wheel arch in white is coming in the new Mindstorms set.

New Mindstorms set?!? Are they releasing the SPIKE system in a regular consumer form?

NO NO NO NO NO, this is bad because you cant put a bar inside this type fo axle hole and its slightly weaker!!

Apparently the changeover catch has been updated. The main difference is at the cross axle. The tip seems rounder, but that might be due to the angle of the render.

 

It should be in the Sián, so people who have it could make a more accurate comparison between both versions.

Why don't just release a no center axle version...
It is more difficult to put them side by side now...

Yes! On this, you can just use a single long axle to go through a few of this. It is very good for some crazy gearbox usage.
Thanks for the modeling!

[LvdH]

The new Mindstorms set includes at least one white Defender wheelarch, as well as what seems to be dark turqoise making a return to Technic.

is there also some white bevels gears ?

I frequently use the axle-hole so I can move the actual lever to a nearby place in the model (even if only 1 or 2 studs stud sideways). You would lose that functionality if the hole was round (or it would take more space to build a structure around it to lock the axle to it.) Stated differently, the current part with 2 axleholes has 2 "input options" (one rotational and one pull-push) which are both useful.

Also, someone else suggested to make the straight part with the inline axlehole longer, so the body is 2 studs long instead of 1.8something like it is now. But that would mean the part wouldn't "fit" within 2 studs when rotating. So that would also be a slight loss of functionality for no real benefit. That said, the current change to a "non-bar-fitting axhole" doesn't seem to have any use, except as a "code" for the fact that the axlehole is non-friction (similar to the red 8t gear and the long worm gear, which have the same axlehole shapes).

I don't really care though. I never used a bar in that piece anyways. You can use a 2L axle or an axle pin if you want multiple side-by-side moving independently.

Do you have a source that says dark turquoise? The photo looks like regular green to me...

Review states the color is Teal [TLG], which is also Dark Turquoise [BL]. The color can also be clearly seen on official pictures.

[letsbuild]

The Defender fenders are coming in white!

Right, I had seen the review, but it only mentions the motors as having teal parts, not the other bricks. I never imagined TLG would mix teal and green though....

[N-4K0]

It looks like regular BrickLink Turquoise to me. What I have seen as BL Turquoise.

[TechnicRCRacer]

Now that I look closer, there are SO many recolors! Teal (Dark Turquoise) is probably my favorite TLG color and it’s amazing to see it return to Technic! Also the SPIKE baseplate returns again in this set.
