Take a picture of any straight object at this distance and size and you will see a bend. Lens distortion, end of story. The model may have a bend in it but these pics are not proof of a bend. -

8043 best set ever. Now Jim, tell everyone to get back on topic. ;) -

That was 50 years ago, not 40. Totally doesn't make sense. I want a bonus model that we get for free with 40270! ;) -

42070 has 067 stickers all over, yet nothing says "070" it's just weird!!! -

I agree 42070 is more for pulling trucks out ditches. -

I assume they used an M motor so it can serve its functions which controlling the crane. I really hope they have some return to center system in place. Driving without it is no fun. -

I personally haven't been this excited about the technic lineup in years. I will have to find a way to get all 3 of the 2H sets. I have no love for the Arocs, the volvos, clarion, BWE, or the Porche (no b model is always a bummer). 42042 is my fav set in years. My point is, to each his own. I'm just glad this is my year for technic. :). And come on, how long have we been waiting for a fire truck??? -

It looks like the the 42070 B model is using the large turntable to connect the front and rear sections, creating a pendulum-like suspension? Also, that "Tow067" sticker... What a tease if they don't release... A bonus companion model to 42070. -

Re: 42070, Is it 6WD? Is the front suspension the same system as the rear? -

I agree 42070 is revolutionary! It's just a great set. Compare it to 8258, 8110, 42009... It will be one of my favorites along with 42042 and 8043. -

It seems to me that 42070's gearbox would be very similar to 42042. No problems there. I am more curious as to how it fits in there wth the battery box right there. -

So which one of you geniuses are gonna post a LDD of the gear boxes for 42070? :) -

Edit: I keep forgetting that the remote is 2 controls at once, no 3rd switch required. So perhaps... Passenger side up: winch and rotation. Passenger side down: outriggers (extend and lower is one action) and crane up and down. So yes, I agree?. -

At :53, you can see the passenger side switch in the up position controls the turning of the crane AND the winch up and down so there must be a 3rd switch to select between the 2 functions somewhere. The drivers side switch seems to be steering in the down position and extend outriggers in the up position. The only function I can't find a control for is the crane up and down.
