Lego Technic 2h 2013

[Alasdair Ryan]

That ''new'' panel looks it a normal 5x7 frame with a stud cut out at the corners.

[DLuders]

Like this 32555 Lego Technic Brick part does?

[dhc6twinotter]

I think that part on the bottom of the chassis is just one of these. It's hard to make out in the picture, but I think there are some black beams on either side of it. That part is located directly below the turntable and probably supports the axle that runs through the center of the turntable.

Just my guess....

On his Brickshelf gallery, changxinwu "reversed engineered" the 2H2013 Lego Technic 42008 Service Truck set, and modeled it using SR 3D Builder software:

reverse engineered? it seems 100% copy of my work...

[Phoxtane]

It looks to me like the wheels on the new mobile crane are the same ones used on the Unimog - are they? I get my tires and wheels confused all the time...

Here is a 400% enlargement of that Lego Technic 42009 Mobile Crane MkII's underbelly (click on the image to see FULL SIZE):

Here is the original photo, which I scaled down to save on bandwidth (I'm on roaming internet) to see if anyone was interested.

[Anio]

Oh yeah I see what he,s talking about, might be a 3 x 5 frame.

A 3xn frame would be pointless.

Indeed, you can not put 2 gears at 90° in it.

[Zerobricks]

Its just a normal connector attached under 5x7 frame with black beams.

[skylinedan]

It looks like it has a 8 with stop axle in it, but the thing is not attached anywhere else so it would just spin around, or they are using it as a washer ?

This tread is quiet from other years for sure, I remember 8043 and 8110 there was so much excitement :)

I don't think lego will do any more big cranes after this year!

I don't think this new piece is just an angle connector, as there is no pin in the center pin hole, and nothing on either side. my guess is that it is a new piece that looks like this:

Or maybe it's a 5x4 c frame piece that everybody's been wanting. you know, like the male torque tube part, without the ball joint?

[davidmull]

I hope not lol :)

[Matt The Tuba Guy]

I hope not lol :)

Hell yes, a 6 axle vehicle would be EPIC!

2 extra wheels from this year,mmm very easy excite you! But people a very excited about new outriggers this year it has to be a reason to spend nearly 200€ on an other crane lol :)

[efferman]

flagship next year will be a walking T-Rex with remote control

[Interceptor]

Next years flagship will be a flying Space Shuttle with remote control.

I don't understand how you can't appreciate the outriggers. Outriggers are used in very many technic sets, and this is the biggest step forward we have ever seen imo. They are brilliant.

[allanp]

They are the most functional outriggers to date for sure, I think what Mr Mull was getting at (correct me if i'm wrong David) is that, as good as they are, that's really the only new thing this crane adds to the many cranes of the past, so hardley worth spending over $200.

What's that PF item above the battery box?

[Jim]

David was thinking more in the line of a Liebherr LTM 11200-9.1:

(with pneumatics of course :wink)

Now, that would be a flagship

What's that PF item above the battery box?

That's a sound brick.
