The little blue bird corrected itself and said there most likely won't be a B model for this :(

42098 - Car Transporter
Ngoc Nguyen replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
In the video, the small wheels moved up when the rear ramps are extended. Around 0:32 - 0:33. It looks like the movements of the wheels are linked to those of the ramps, so I think the small wheels are movement limitors. -

I think the small wheels in front of the trailer's wheels are movement limitors. -

There's a pair of small wheels in front of the trailer's big wheels. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that the small wheels moved up when the rear ramps are extended. Around 0:32 - 0:33. Maybe they aren't landing legs. -

The trailer has a pair of landing legs, but I can't find the knob to lower them. -
42110 - Land Rover Defender
Ngoc Nguyen replied to 1gor's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Nope. Mack is a 1H flagship. Land Rover is not. It's not an early release of 2020 1H flagship. It's just an odd one out in the 2019 lineup, like 42084. -

It's not in the same line. -

Many Technic sets have trailer hitches without trailers. 42053, 8258, etc... -

I think the new piston part is just two Technic string reels.- 5,513 replies

Two generation of medium sized helicopters. 8068 B vs 42092. 8068 A is too similar to 42092, and I like the bubble canopy more. The biggest improvement is the design of the winch. In 8068, when I swoosh it, there's a chance that the string will go backwards due to gravity and unspool. But that cant happen in 42092, which is a big plus. Putting the rotor knob under the model also helps. In 8068, the knob is right under the rotor, so my hand can interfere with the blades. That doesnt happen in 42092.

Brace yourself (or yourselves) for an inline-6 Mack-style engine. -

All the more reason to not expect a proper inline 6 engine. The most recent creation wiyth a proper inline 6 doesnt end up so well. -

The hood doesn't look long enough to house a 12-stud inline 6 engine. If it does, the engine will have to stick out in the driver's cabin. -
42082 A vs 42082 B The superstructure of 42082 B is mounted 2 studs forward compared to that of 42082 A. Also, there are several differences in the rear of the two superstructures: 1. The middle switch in 42082 A can select forward or backward, but that in 42082 B can only open backward. The reason is that the stomping function only requires movement in one direction only. 2. The instruction stickers in 42082 A can't be reused in 42082 B, so the designer uses color codes instead. The red light stud is used to denote the winch, while the green light stud is used to denote the boom's pushing function. 3. The middle switch in 42082 B has a dedicated slot to go backward to. 4. Because of the walls of the slot, the engine cover opens forward in 42082 A, but backward in 42082 B. 5. The battery box cover opens upward in 42082 A, but detaches completely in 42082 B. 6. The two sides in 42082 B have different lengths. The one in the drive's side is one stud longer.

We should talk about candies instead. Like this new candy with Olive Green flavor and 3 differentials. -

Where would the arch be in a helicopter?
