I've been thinking about a BWE made with small tracks. I wonder which parts can be used for the hollow rings and the buckets. Maybe pulley wheels can serve as the hollow rings. -
I think it's FLAWESOME.

Technic General Discussion
Ngoc Nguyen replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I've just found out that Volvo ZEUX has 1167 pieces, and Volvo EW160E has 1166 pieces. I've never thought that these two sets come close in piece count. It feels like the EW160E has part inflation. -
So I heard people want a pneumatic mod for this set I'd prefer this to the upcoming set.
-
I'd look for a completely manual MOD for this set. 4 knobs, 4 functions. 3 functions of the arm and 1 for the bucket.
-
I found this on ebay.de

If the cabin cant tilt, how do people get access to the engine in the real truck?

Generic Contest Discussion

Now that the Car Transporter offer the small wheel arches in two more color, I'm so looking forward to a car contest. -
The car transporter is perhaps the first Technic set to include 14 complete pairs of rims and tyres.

9 years of tracked loaders. 8043 B is a very nice model, and was the RC loader + RC fun tracked model before those concepts become cool. I'm well aware that 8275 is the first RC tracked model, not 8043 B, but 8043 B has higher speed, and thus more suitable for the RC fun tracked model role. I still remember how fun I found the 8043 B to be when I first built it. The new loader has a way better appearance. The old one was full of LBG and DBG, and those colors dilute the look and make the model visually messy. The new one, however, consists of solely black and yellow, which creates a stronger contrast and a clear color block. In terms of playability though, the 8043 B is way ahead.

It looks like the blue car in 42098 has new, shorter curved panels. Maybe 3x9x2. Those in the pictures dont look like the current curved panels.

@jrx Do you happen to remember how the outriggers of the spider crane work? Are they linked together to a common axle or are they to be opened separately? Are they mounted on small turntables?
-
This set is the first set since 2015 to use DBG tracks as caterpillar tracks. I thought that DBG tracks have been eliminated from Technic. (The BWE has DBG tracks too, but they are used in the conveyor. )

[REVIEW] 42094 - Tracked Loader
Ngoc Nguyen replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
The claw has got to be the most senseless loader function I've ever tried. It can't hold two logs, and even when it's holding one log, it can't grab it firmly enough. The log tends to fall to the side. A nice cool looking futuristic set, but zero basic playability. I still love it for the look though. @M_longer I picked up my 42094 at a local Lego store today, and the boxes on the shelf made me realize that the 3 models in your last picture have the same box size. They were arranged next to each other in the store. -
What wheels does the truck and trailer have? Arocs wheels, Mack wheels, or 8109 wheels?
-
This set makes me feel like 10 year old, emotionally and financially as well.
-
I think I'd get a 42070 to procure the gear racks and the turntables. Yellow cranes just remind me of 42009. Besides, 80% of Google search result return red spider cranes.
-
I think I'm gonna bricklink the red parts to make a red spider crane. Cant really feel fond of a yellow one
-
41999 was released in 2013
-
What works today may not even work today.
-
So this year we have a red-black-white racer, a yellow crane with 4 outriggers, and a RC 4x4 offroader. Feels like 2013 again.

I see - 5x11 tapered panels in red - Corvette mudguards in red and medium blue (42066 colors). It's kinda weird that a truck has car wheel arches though. - Car in 42066 medium blue. - Cant see the size of the wheels in the car transporter truck, but since the wheel arches are the smallest, I think the wheels are the same with those in Mack trucks. - The truck and trailer are very long but very empty because there is only one car to fill. The top story seems to be able to carry 4 cars, while the lower one 3 cars. I'm so waiting for 2020 lineup to include more cars this size. - Spider crane arm seems to have 3x11 shell 10 holes panels in yellow, which only appear so far in 42009

The Bourgeoisie and the Proletariat!

The shovel in 42100 can be reused in a Rope Shovel Excavator.
-
I was wrong then. Both 42099 and 42100 use the new 4-port hub.
