A few more months then the Chiron will drop to 270 EUR sth

There's no way 129.99 EUR / 149.99 USD translates into £150

I dont think anyone would have expected the video to be deleted to download it beforehand, since it's already near the release date.

How about yellow mug and dark azure water bottle

nay, a Technic flagship set - deserves.

I think they are parts of a clamping mechanism that holds either the batterbox or the 5x7 panel lid.

4 wheel steering?

In action: My guess about the B model was right!

There are also Aurelien and Samuel Tacchi

Now that is an awesome contest topic! Wikipedia has most of the types listed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_amusement_rides

There's a photograph that has a number of Technic designers and Volvo designers and a bunch of prototype models I believe. And I like this part:

Let him review the 3rd UCS

Fourth picture where

In the top view in the schematic, the bottom wheel of the last axle sticks out further than other wheels o.O I hope this does not exist in the real model.

On the scale from bad ideas to good ideas, this one flies off the chart...

This makes me go OMG that is so brilliant

Okay I think I understand how the weight dropping function works, and it seems to be a fun one. Notice the 3L red connector lever (1 axle hole 2 pin holes) with the black cap near the white 24z gear. It is pointing up to the left. We can see that the red connector lever is connected to a series of linkage that links to a pulley wheel above the LAs. This means if the red connector lever is pulled back, the pulley wheel is pulled back too, and the black weight is raised. Now see the same 3L connector lever in the B model when the boom is horizontal. It is pointing down to the left. This means when the LAs push the boom to the vertical position, the 3L connector will go up, and when the LAs pull the boom back to the horizontal position, the 3L connector will go down. Back to this image again: The 24z gear is pretty unusual. It does not connect to the LAs, as you guys can see the LAs are mounted much lower. The 24z clutch gear doesn't raise the cabin either. Cabin raising is manual. The 24z clutch gear doesn't connect further to any other gear. It only connects to a 3L half stud liftarm with 2 axles holes. => My conclusion: When the boom is deployed to the vertical position, the 3L red connector lever will go up, so that it is within the range of the 3L half stud liftarm linked to the 24z white clutch gear. The motor will spin the 3L half stud liftarm continuously, pushing the 3L red connector lever downward, retracting the pulley wheel, raising the weight. When the 24z gear goes past it, gravity will pull the weight down again. It is a continuous cycle of the weight going up and down. Probably with some thud sounds. Pretty fun. The diagram for the function is like this: Lever up Lever down / --- | / --- | / | / | ----O | ----O weight \ | / weight 24z with half stud liftarm 24z with half stud liftarm horizontal pushing the lever down / --- | / --- | / | / | 24z -- ----O | 24z ----O weight \ | \ / weight Also found a cool image

And black 5x7 frames.

This thing has orange 3L bush + pin.

A few more posts about tractor tyres and Jim will show up and split them into a new thread about tractor tyres so you guys can discuss to your heart's content.
