    How did you fix those Axle and Pin Connector Angled #2 ? Are they still removable from the frame?

    I just came back and it now works for me too. I guess there has been done some bug fixing in the meantime?

    not working on win7, Firefox

    Worked for me (Win7, Firefox, Adblocker). But i feel as if the time delay between submitting the vote and seeing the results was longer than i remember from past votes...

    Thats awesome, i really like small models and so much functionality. Incredible. May we get a belly shot? The suspension sounds interesting

    Jup, no Poll results for me. (With adblocker) It's great that you're not giving up on solving the problem

    Here's one:

    exactly. And until now every model was already built

    I bought mine used on ebay. While i'd love to have only new sets i simply can't afford it otherwise

    Thanks for writing this nice review. After i had this book on my wish lists since November the time has now come to buy it myself

    Here's sariel's version (at 21:50): And Jim's version was in his review:

    I always used two half bushes in this place. Do they work in a similar way as you described?
  13. schraubedrin
    Such a thread already exists

    One example is 8466, its dampened shocks are nearly completely compressed when the doors are closed. That's to separate the two functions: 1. transferring the forces from the chassis to the tracks 2. driving the tracks. Otherwise you had all that force radially on the driving axle, giving you more and more plastic dust over time. GBC maintainers can tell you a thing or two about this.

    I don't think so, comparing them to the scale of the jerrycans. Spare tread links fits with the spare sprocket wheel in the back.

    Great review for a great set Here i'd like to chime in and say that those doors are comparable to those of 8466. While this mechanism is definitely more complex, the doors of 8466 hat the gracefulness of dampened shocks. I said it before: 42069 is this decade's 8466 with all the upgrades and improvements the technic line made to this day. I simply love it. If i've seen it correctly, there's no length compensation in the steering shaft, but there is some the lower suspension arms. I'm really interested how this influences the suspension. (I'm a bit pedantic about transferring suspension forces via moving shafts ) Do i remember correctly that there was some discussion about ride height adjustment in the 2017 speculation thread? (Not that any more features really are needed)

    If i'm seeing this right and there is an universal joint at either end of the red axle for steering the joints aren't oriented correctly to compensate their non-linearity. @aeh5040 made a perfect example of what i mean here:
  18. schraubedrin
    Ah, i was confused because there are only two universal joints visible on the steering axle: (upper axle in gray is drive, lower axle in red is steering) Is the CV joint then somewhere inside the axle? To be a little nitpicking, @Jim, those universal joints aren't in the right orientation
  19. schraubedrin
    I just found it in the Unimog instructions. Is it solved the same way in 42069?
  20. schraubedrin
    9398 uses the central big ball joint with a universal joint inside, so both joints have the same rotation center. I've never seen 8880 up close so i don't know where exactly universal joints get used. Now i'm curious about 8110, i'll investigate. The problem i'm talking about is that the live axle doesn't rotate around a single pivot point so without a perfectly tuned suspension there shouldn't be a direct line of constant length between the chassis and the axle.
  21. schraubedrin
    This makes me really curious how they managed to use universal joints for the steering axle. Previously i thought the technic links were positioned at the same height as the axle to guarantee a constant length. but now ...

    Compared to other sets with tracks like 8263 (8,5), 42006 (8,3) and 42038 (8,8) it's still a very good deal
  23. schraubedrin
    Nice review. You managed to make me feel how good the steering works through the video @Sariel, you gave the set the lowest 'pieces donor' value. But from what i've seen in the timelapse, this seems to be quite a nice parts pack with frames, beams, gears, panels and wheels. Would you recommend this set for someone who is starting his technic collection?
  24. schraubedrin
    If i remember the color wheel from elementary correctly the third would be green
  25. schraubedrin
    This is crazy awesome! I personally prefer the first hood concept because of the nice flowing lines. For the spraying arms: maybe rotate the upper beams 90 degrees and mount em at an angle? The Pythagorean triple (5, 12, 13) might work.
