Not sure if this has been mentioned before already - do we know if the cooling fans will be powered or are they just static decorative elements?

In the YouTube video Markus points at them briefly. My impression was they looked printed (they also didn't move or wiggle), so my take is: decorative only.

With new control hub , its the End of gearbox ( 1motor = multiple functions) ?

[MikeTwo9398]

Or just the start of a new generaties of controlled gearboxes. New motors can be used as a servo motor.

No.  Lego is working on a "dumb" battery box for use with the be motors. The reason why is to lower the price point so you can have range at a power functions price point.  The cost of the controller and 4 motors is high thus lower units sold. So to be cover costs of development you need to sell more.

I really like the Liebherr R9800 so I decided to build it myself. My version has got six functions (all powered by PF elements)

I will be very happy if you look on my video on YouTube. Lego Liebherr R 9800

@Tomas TECHNIC Save for the multicolour treads, it's quite nice. I really like how the brick-built shoulder LAs operate. Your MOC is a testament to just how enormous the actual set is gonna be

@Tomas TECHNIC first of all welcome to eurobricks forum, your Moc looks very nice, perhaps you should start your own topic.

@Tomas TECHNIC, nice job! Quite a beast. 

[knotian]

Just noticed, and will most assuredly the use of racks in lieu of actuators.

It's ok. Despite I'm not admin I'm trying to give suggestions to make new users easier to participate in forum 

Kind regards

No problem! But please start that topic. Looks interesting!

When will we see a update on liebherr?

[CP5670]

I like where they going with these sets that are clearly targeted towards AFOLs. I'll probably pass on this one though. Even aside from the sky high price, I prefer sets with interesting gearing and mechanics like 8043 as opposed to just having everything run off its own motor, which is what they seem to be doing here. The Control+ system looks really nice though, as do the long linear actuators.

[CSX9992]

Will the control app come out the same day as liebherr?

The control app will probably come out around the same time as 42099, which is being released earlier (August).

it should be at least come out when 42099 is release, but maybe the Liebherr part will be added later, since each set has its own interface inside the app.

[CSX9992]

I’m so looking forward to it lol

Forgive me if this has been mentioned already, but are those new red wire clips? Very handy.

Very handy indeed, but only if you plan their use in advance... I've tried to use them on the Porsche to hold a wire from front to rear under the chassis, but it's quite a bad fit: in that usecase, the axle connector would need to be parallel instead of perpendicular.

[ScaleCarModels]

I can't wait for this beast of a lego set to come out. It's gonna be expensive but I love large scale construction equipment. Real life and in scale model form it's all awesome to me. It'll be interesting to see mods and alternate builds built from this set. Looks like a bunch of useful parts if someone decided to build a c model. I'm not worried about any flaws regarding the powered elements. My plan is to build it as a display piece.

[CSX9992]

I can’t wait either

I am curious will liebherr have the standard battery pack or a usb charging option

This set has 2 control+ units with batteries.
This is old news.

[CSX9992]

Ok and I missed that post
