42111 - Fast & Furious car
Ngoc Nguyen replied to Kaanere's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Then we can expect to see small mudguard panels in black. Soon there will be enough color variations to host an Eurobrick mini auto contest! -
And what will TLG say to fans?

Go nuts -
When there's an official name for it
-
That's just the same picture slowly zoomed in and frozen for 2 minutes. Nothing new people. You may want to delete it as it mislead people into thinking there is sth worth watching in there....
-
It saves cost. Every schoopid mistakes on the builder's part can translate into additional workload for customer service and potential expenses for replacement parts.
-
Since it's dark blue, I think it's Markus's creation. There may even be the MK V mark on the stickers.

I think the grey thing inside the cabin is the small Corvette mudguard in LBG. If it's a piece of electronic then it should be a motor. The control hub can only be at one place: on the bottom, under the hood, in front of the front wheels. It needs to be there so that you can open its bottom downward and replace batteries.
-
Updated info: there are only 3 motors.

All the differences between prelim models and actual models are actually between prelim images of models in catalogues sent to retailers and physical models at the Toy Fair. There has never been a case where there's a difference between physical models at the Toy Fair and the released models.

If you're referring to this pic, it's a fake one...
-
Lime green would be a more probable choice, given the resurgence of lime panels in 2020 1H sets.
-
I still dont understand and cant see this. Can you highlight it in the photo?
-
Wait do you have pictures?
-
The model on the box shows a certain degree of nonalignment between the cab and the dump bed, so I think there's at least a type of rotation suspension at the joint between the front and rear halves.

Well Sariel blasted 42070 mostly for - Unnecessary high price - Poor RC and off road capabilities - Crude appearance - Ugly B model Then 42114 has: - Same price - Only 1 XL motor for drive, which is 1 motor less than 42099, and Sariel didnt rate 42099 RC capabilities highly. However this point deserves actual testing, so any judgement now is premature. - Off proportion - No B model. Pretty comparable to me. In addition, 42114 also has: - 3 RC functions, which is 3 less than those in 42070. 42070 has 6 RC functions. - Apparently no novel technical system. 42070 has a system which combines RC with switchable gearbox. - A repeated subject. An RC off road tow truck with Claas tires is a never done before in Technic, but an RC Volvo hauler is not. More grounds for complaints then. Just to be clear, I dont harbor negative feelings for this set, and do have intention to buy it. And I really like 42070, both A and B. I just stated my prediction based on the admittedly narrow pool of reactions I saw here.

I have a feeling that this flagship is gonna be more poorly rated by Sariel and by fans in general than even the 42070. It's a new low.
-
Oh right.... D:
-
I meant to this side of the photo <<<
-
If LAs can be put in a V shape, and suspensions can be squeezed into 42043, then there's no technical reason the real leaf spring in A60H can't be put in 42114. Ofc considerations of other kinds might dominate.
-
42053 is like 90% proportionate. 42114 is like idk maybe 50%?
-
On another note If only the photo owner moved the camera to the left...
-
Anyhow licensed models like this must be vetted by the licensor, so Volvo must have their own reasons to allow the disproportions.
-
As TLG (imaginedly) said, suck it up and deal with it...
-
I'll stick with "alternative facts" to ease my mind for now
