  1. Recently built 42005, so it inspired me to build some smaller monster truck. I don't want to call it smaller 42005, as then it should have been littlebit different. Here it is Fully compressed supension Somthing from build process Next to big brother
  2. Nice little racer!
  3. Main chassis With spring setup like this, there is some supension travel (2+ studs), but it is still pretty hard suspension. It won't be so nice like on 42005
  4. Front is somewhat OK, but as more to the back, it goes totally bad. I'm afraid, nothing larger won't fit there, as wheel arch is too narrow, but can't tell from that one picture provided.
  5. As built 42005, I was thinking, why not to build smaller version. So, some possible axle configuration was made Yes, wheels seems little too small, but don't know if more narrower axle could be made.
  6. If they made "realistic" suspension, they could have added also some fake shafts. OK, but then we would complain - why they didn't added fake engine. Someone about gearbox etc. :)
  7. Found some inspiration
  8. Still don't have inspirtation to continue with beach buggy, so I'm building old sets with some fresh touch
  9. Buggy motor trough those small gears?!
  10. I just started to think, as there are 6 wheels, you could make some kind of roofless version with some trailer and that means, that there may be some official B-model, as there are plenty of parts (those long technic bricks on side) and yes, model in picture has hook at the rear

  12. I think, colour saturation? is wrong in that pic, and they are lbg, and the car is standard green. LBG is that thing, behind door handle on which is yellow bushing
  13. Yes, that is one of the regrets
  14. Recently built 8069, using parts I have. Intentionally used latest tractor tires. Volvo bucket is really too big, but somehow attached. Latest excavator bucket fits well Conclusion - one of the best (if not the best) technic set. Really like it. It was on sale for 40EUR on some trade place. Now really regret not buying it. Only when building, realised, that there are some other good parts, which I don't have.
  15. It is bussiness. We, mocers, AFOLs, are not target audience (as we can build better :) ) of those sets. target audience are mostly some new customers with money, who want some good looking thing on their shelf. Me too bought millenium flacon on overall hype, when I was not so much in to this thing. Most regreted set. The same with cat d11. I didn't bought it, I was builidg with parts I have and some missing bought. I'm happy, that I didn't bought it, I really got bored building it. It was huge and good looking, and that's all. Recently built 8096, some parts replaced with more recent. I really enjoied it, and for me seems almost best technic set I've ever built.
  16. Wheel centers are really far from steering center, so there is really significant lever which needs to be held by steering arm on that hub, and those connections on balls are pretty loosy, so You get everything really wobbly. That what I was talking before. Situation can be imporved, if wheel rims will be put otherway (In fact, not sure, if this is possible with these rims and hubs, will check later), and other builders have also added steering linkage on the other side also - in Your case also on front.
  17. The truth is - our whining here won't change anything regarding price (most probably). Want this thing to build - look for discounts, used one, buy parts missing from P&B, or search for a way to earn more. And we have this topic @Jim could move something there
  18. Another thing - front suspension will not hold together, those connection between halfbeams and suspension arms. Those new 3L pins could help somehow.
  19. I'm afraid, it would hardly drive and steer, as front wheels would wobble etc. It will be better, if You put wheels in front otherway.
  20. Cool project - the lego build and the original one. I was just looking at the real one, and was thinking - won't that kite lift side of boat up at that arm arrangement? Or that will be compensated with position/arrangement of fin keel? But You probably have thought that trough.
  21. It is good that there are only 6 cylinders, as would get tired building so much cylinders - all that repetitive build of the same thing.
