The first pic looked like the real thing to me, then I saw the 2nd one and I was like "oh wait..."
Its an amazing MOC
-
Ok I like it and will buy for sure, but despite some new parts and number of motors its basically just a 8265 full motorised/RC.
I dont like the front actually, looks rushed and unfinished.
-
The stress on those mini LA is making me cringe
-
I don't see any pics on that link?

Looks very similar to 8265, I hope for some different functions...
-
half of the parts are usually black/blue pins so that shouldnt even count
-
-
All of them, I am more of a collector than of a builder... I usually just build the set and place it on display.

I think this section can be opened... wonder what could be inside

Dluders - im lego purist, sorry. Using non lego parts, modifying them, cutting, painting. I hate it.
Lego is lego, lets use what's is lego branded. Thats my Point of View about it.
I share your opinion regarding regular parts, but disagree on tyres... LEGO tyres are not very good performance wise or even regarding their overall look, so I do use non-LEGO tyres but still consider myself a purist.

Looking good... and huuuuge!!!

You need to be a bit more specific... do you mean they dont spin freely? Well they're not supposed to, since they're connected to motors only by activating the remote can you move the model.
Or is it another kind of problem?
-
Just assembled this set, and I'm a bit irked by the low speed. Gonna replace the L motors by XL motors, which results in increased unsprung weight, but whatever. This also requires an additional IR receiver, which leaves me with an unused IR output. So, I will also add a winch.
You can change the gear ratio on the portal axles to make it go faster.
-
You can prevent legs from bending by using two sets of tracks on each leg, one on each side.
-
Souldnt it rotate freely? Like hanging? So that it remains always vertically alligned... or would that not be possible to achive
-
How much playability can there be in this set with just one motor as LEGO suggests?
You can only control 1 function at a time, so just to pick up something you need to switch gears 3 times manually
-
And again pneumatic cylinders.I´m tired of that, there is no need of longer cylinders.We have precise LA.
LA's are not supposed to replace Pneumatics... and Lego is clearly not dropping them off, much the opposite it seems!

LEGO had it on their site for 79.99 the other day, now there back up too 100 bucks. Bummer, I was gonna order on this weekend. I guess I,m just gonna have to pay it, LOL. I like the size of it next to the 8043, wondered when someone was gonna put them side by side for a comparison on the size of it. One mod we can do to it is raise the whole cab up so the bottom is about the same height as the roof where its at now. If you ever seen this at a scrap yard the cab is up higher for better visability.
Dan.
Most equipment like this has raised cabins:
It would be a very cool feature!

42000 F1 was really meh for me, but now it really grew on me. then we got service truck which looks like a the only option for someone who likes road stuff, not all that heavy building equipment. it made me so sad to see monster truck as a small set. i think i was looking forward to it most. .
Not everyone can be happy, I only like construction equipment unlike you... I dont buy Crawlers or any Supercar, but give me excavators and cranes and trucks and you can take my money
-
I just dont undertsnad why they ddint use another new 5L half beams instead of the yellow half bushes in front?
Maybe because it interferes with the steering arm
-
You guys are missing the point... its bad image for the brand and looks unprofessional.
-
@WR3KL3SS
Any chance you can take a picture side by side with another model just to evaluate his size?

I'm not familiar with the site, neither am I endorsing it, but I found these:

Looks like the tires you want.
