I've just thought that maybe this time the hazard light won't control the steering, but instead the tilting. And the exhaust pipe is the actual HOG steering knob.

Good catch! However, I think that the beacon controls the raising (there's indeed a shaft under it) and the small lever on the side the tilting (what else could it be for?).

My bad. I meant the hazard light is for lifting the fork, and the exhaust pipe is for steering. Tilting is most likely done with the side lever of course.

I don't think it was mentioned, but implied by putting a engine.

I find it weird that the front arch is close to the front wheel, but the rear ach isn't to the rear wheel.

It is because the rear wheels need some extra space for steering.

So like no travel on the forklift. What a damn shame

Yeah, you're right, I thought it went up more.

It’s good that it doesn’t appear to use any special pieces I don’t have yet, so I could MOC this with a proper forklift arm. I suspect it was done like so for the B model to have an arm.

Maybe its possible to make it go up about 3 studs more by removing the little 2l red axle that locks the rack

Thats what i was thinking, it just keeps the rack steady.

I am really looking forward to build this set using my existing lego part provided it does not use any special parts. I am sure it will be interesting to build both the A and B model of this set. I have a feeling that the B model might turn out to be more fun that building the A model.

Might be worth a try to hook up the winch to a cable drum powered by the worm gear that that winds up as the fork rises.

The B-model looks surprisingly good for what it is, I think. My original plan was to buy 42080 and MOC the forklift since I have more parts than I really need already, but I keep getting more tempted to just buy the forklift as well, as usual :laugh:
