Surely no clutch in these mini actuators? they are so small?

Do I spy short 2 or 3 long orange Axles in these pics of the backhoe? Gears that join the actuators?

Here are some new pictures of the Backhoe:

You can see the new piece first spotted in 8067 put to good use as outriggers.

How will the bucket move?

Is the dark bluish gray piece between the bucket and the arm also a new part?

I think it's this part

used for instance in city set 7630

No, if we are talking about the same part.

Used in 8047 (2x)

[Tobbe Arnesson]

There it is. :)

The middle hole is not connected to the beams it pass throe. Still not sure how the bucket will move in the end of the arm:

It's quite obvious that it will rotate at the end of the yellow beams and the dark bluish gray piece will remain somewhat stationary. It's a rather odd linkage, will be interesting to see the ratio of it.

Same as 8047.

Looks really nice pity is not bigger tho with power functions and metalic actuators

[JunkstyleGio]

As from toaday all new 1h2011 technic sets are available in certain stores in the Netherlands!

[Mrlegoninja]

The new mobile crane is listed on Toys R us's website:Here.

I think it looks not that great, looks a little blocky to me. However, I will not be buying the 100 dollar crane, so I might just pick this one up.

Looking at Crowkillers supercar movie one thing came to mind:

The 8070 has a switchbox in the middle of the car on which we can choose on the functions we want to use, but how can we switch the up/down mode? By using a polarityswitch or directly on the batterbox?

Anybody got any ideas on this?

Good point. If I remember well the battery box on the preliminary pictures of the 8070 was easy to reach from behind, so your idea is maybe correct.

[JunkstyleGio]

Let's hope that it's NOT just the batteryboxswitch, because I think the switch on those are hard to control.

By the way:

made another little movie:

[Ondra]

A few months ago I asked LEGO why they always make the same (in the technic line) and why it are always things whit wheels/vehicles. In the answer stood that they were busy whit something new that is not whit wheels or is based on vehicles. They said also that we have to wait a year before they (I think) come out.

If they said "we have to wait a year" before few months ago this sounds to me like second half of year 2011 .

All the 1H 2011 sets are now available at Lego S@H.

[Mrlegoninja]

2h technic sets can be found here: TECHNIC

I really like the Unimog U400. I also really hate the color scheme of the flatbead truck.

The bucket truck looks good. I hope it isn't too expensive!

[dhc6twinotter]

Unimog looks great! I see pneumatics and a motor too!
