After that quote the post you want to quote, and then you need to edit to put the quote above your post. Bit cumbersome, but it works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bartybum Posted July 19, 2018 @Jim Surely you can just quote a post and then when you press save it merges them, no? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ngoc Nguyen Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) Is this string the same one in 42009? A search on bricklink say yes, but the strings I've got from 42009 only measures 29L from stud to stud. @M_longer Can you check the length of the string in your set? Thanks!

agrof Posted July 20, 2018 I am absolutely pumped to get this now! I do believe it is a very-very playful set. Thanks @M_longer for the LDD model! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And it's directly attached to the rack. I'd rather have some gears in between to reduce and inverse the mechanism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is possible to make the steering working in a proper way, but it requires removing those Technic triangles and reinforcing rear part of the frame with different parts, right behind the engine.

I've added few more parts to front mudguards too. Size comparision with Mack Anthem: Full review in polish:http://zbudujmy.to/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8811 And few words about the set itself: Well designed, playable, but two functions work only properly, but could better (steering works backwards) and forks could move higher than middle of the frame (for example, in last liftarm based forklift, 8416 the forks travels right to the top). Interesting color scheme (Dark Blue is still not so common in Technic sets). Great base for modiffications (like adding those double wheels, rebuilding the forks, changing steering etc.). Actually, with few tweaks it could be the best Technic forklift to date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1gor Posted July 20, 2018 @M_longer first of all thank you for your modification by adding two extra wheels. It looks much better ...and if I may continue you could open new topic 42079 mods and improvements. I can only add that I think 4 cylinder engine could fit inside. Color combination is great (IMHO) and this is what I think LEGO set should be - good base with possibilities to be perfected when needed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
