Absolutely agree, along with the Arocs.

Big wheels + wide range of gears + many typical Technic parts.

I have a problem with 42053 for instance, it has lots of useful parts, but those skateboard wheels make rebuilding it into something else difficult.

I agree with you on that, a better wheel loader c model, but that is all I see currently.

I better should not mention that Arocs was 2015 flagship, but Xerion could be a flagship some other year like 2012 or even 2008...

A video is filmed, but needs to be uploaded, tomorrow or the next day.

...and we are anxious to see your MOC in (you know lights, camera, ) action :wink:

8455 is my favorite pneumatic set, but could not afford it myself, so I've made it in colors that are in LEGO Technic from 2008 as you cam see here

Anyway yellow and lime combo is interesting :thumbup:

Still planing on a video for tonight?

Yup, it is a unedited vid showing steering and dumping.

This looks like it comes straight off one of those futuristic RTS video games as a resource-carrying truck. That's what it makes me think of. I like it. The use of lime is nicely laid out. The bed may be a bit small but I think it matches the rest of the vehicle nicely. Making it bigger would pull things out of proportion maybe.

The seat could be a bit further backwards though. If you sit in this, it's almost as if you're outside of the cabin. I think if you swap the black 2L cross blocks that hold the seat, so the seat is 2 studs backwards relative to where it is now, it would be better. (But I don't know if there's anything in the way for that). Also, if parts availabilty permits it, I'd put two seats instead of one, to the left and right of the steering HOG axle. Then, seats can be even further backwards, so the driver can actually use the small side windows of the cabin.

Also, maybe you can swap the two 2x3x5 panels with the two 2x3x7 panels in a way, so the Claas stickers aren't upside down :) For the rest, nice model.

I like the cabin and the tires look very good. It looks like something you would drive on Mars. Maybe a lab instead of a dumper.

I can try adding more seats, but I like the way the panels are put. The bed looks odd any bigger, but I agree it is like a resource vehicle, maybe I can mod it to be my Tc12 entry, as a mobile base / resource service.

Thank you, I can try a lab after, and have a hook lift attachment, to move the lab to the ground.

Sorry the video is taking long, I hadn't found time.

Sorry for long wait, but video is ready, it was short due to YouTube size limit, and quality isn't great, (on wifi, still no hd! What?!)

That's strange... The limit is 2GB or 15 minutes, which easily allows FHD video... What file type are you using? ...or you not compressing your video at all?
