11949 Steering Wheel Hub Holder Alternate Part

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm getting the parts together for the Avtoros Shaman 8x8 MOC

https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-5360/Madoca1977/avtoros-shaman-8x8/#info

It requires 8 of the 11949 Technic, Steering Wheel Hub Holder with 2 Pin Holes and 2 Ball Joint Arms.

The current price of these on BrickLink is around €12 each, and has risen sharply in the past few months.

I was wondering if it would be possible to use the 23801 Technic, Steering Wheel Hub Holder with 2 Pin Holes and 2 Axle Holes and two Axle Towballs. It looks like it would work based on the models in LDD. Has anyone tried this on a model?

Here is an example of how they are used in the Shaman build:

Use the ones from the Porsche/Claas. They should work perfectly.

Stupid question, why is the 11949 so expensive?

I suppose because they don't appear in sets since 2015. I guess the newer hub holder is really meant to replace the old one.

The perfect example of supply and demand. The demand increases (this popular moc uses 8), supply decreases, price increases. Same thing happened with #3 connectors years back.
