Today I saw a real 5-axle mobile crane near my place. Its wheels are 1.5 to 2 times bigger than those on the trucks and the towed so-called "mobile crane" that I saw the other day. So I think you're right. -
Racers for the kiddos: 42065 A, 42065 B, 42095 A, 42095 B.
-
42053 and 42080 would like to have a word with you sir
-
42097 A has higher reach when the arm is fully extended. I think the B model is more compact and may have some use when vertical transport is all that's needed. For instances, transporting bricks to the 4th floor through the balcony.

Compact Tower Crane vs Mobile Tower Crane
-
I think adding 2 36z gears would suffice.

42097 B mod: I added knobs to rotate the small turntables and open the outriggers horizontally. In the original design, the outriggers don't have knobs, and must be extend by hand. I find that inconvenient. The result is two knobs tucked in nicely next to the knobs that drive the LA. I think these knobs can totally be added to original model with the pieces in the set, but I haven't built the official set yet, so this might be wrong.

I put the rear wheels of the Hot Rod lower one stud, make it longer, and add the differential. To me it looks better this way. I don't like the shortened and lowered axle in the original design.

Biscuit piece in yellow!!!

100 pieces of rocks! Part inflation is real!!!

8z doesnt mesh with 28z horizontally though

42107 is Licensed btw. So it's most likely a licensed motorbike. Hopefully it'll use the new rim from Harley Davidson Fat Boy.

I also expect a dumb battery box for control+ in 2020

15L to 23L.

An aircraft that is in the league of 2H runner up, like 42042, 42054, 42069, 42081, must be at least 1100 pieces. I think it will be similar to previous 1H aircraft flagship (42025, 42052, 42066).

I was riding a motorbike. No hands left to take pic. The tow truck doesnt look like a heavy duty one in the many pictures you guys gave. It looks like a regular cabover truck with the tow crane and tow fork.
