Speaking of angled connectors, any idea why the angles for #3 and #5 are 112.5 and 157.5? Do these angles have any special mathematical properties?

Usually MOCs like this don't sell but this one got its first sale today yay!

The name is incomplete, but it's most likely a Moon Rover.

What else can be put into a helicopter in addition to Cyclic Pitch?

I rated the Corvette higher because at least it comes with useful and rare parts in yellow, like mudguards, 1x2 x-o liftarms, Bionicle teeth, 1x1 spacer. This set doesnt bring anything new outside the 1x2 with axle in the middle, and that part's usefulness is rather questionable to me.

I think this is one of the most unfortunate creations ever brought to life by TLG.

Yes

Don't give TLG ideas, they will become true when you least expect them...

The good news is that there have been 3 Volvo sets in the last 2 consecutive years. The not so good news is that there have been 3 Volvo sets in the last 2 consecutive years.

EC500 Hybrid is also a thing. https://www.ivtinternational.com/news/construction/volvo-ce-brings-hybrid-technology-to-new-generation-excavators.html

Are you sure it's "hybrid" and not "high reach"? Because there is a demolition version of the EC500 that is named EC500 High Reach.

I'd rather not as it will blow the cost out of necessary. I don't really get how TLG set prices for Pneumatic sets, as 42121 and 42157 are very good in terms of value for money, but 42144 is just excessive.

The only good thing that comes with the PU phase is the simple hub, which has much better connection points and shapes compared to the PF battery box.

There's no good old days regarding PU since those days are neither good nor old.

This is contradicted by the 42157 though. Also the set with pneumatic is thought to be the Volvo loader.

Actually, on second thought, it is also probable that the demolition excavator is gonna be 42214. It's gonna be midsized and for some reasons overpriced, like 42144, which has less than 1000 parts but has the retail price of 150$...

Just speculation

There's another problem with using the Porsche all-in-one hub for the excavator: lack of torque. The last two big RC tracked models (42131 and 42146) are driven by Large Angular motors.

There's no such thing as a wheeled demolition excavator.

Is that an implicit confirmation that the excavator uses 2 Porsche's hub?

Because the hub in the Porsche is actually 1 hub and 2 motors in one block. Since it's a dedicated hub for cars I'm not sure it will be used for an excavator, especially when its charging port is placed rather awkwardly.
