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.

Drive mode has 3 functions: Individual tracks and turntable. Work mode can have 3 functions too: main boom, second stage boom, gripper.

For 399.99 EUR and 2300 pieces, I think there will be one hub and four motors, and they will be arranged in the format of 8043. One motor will be for switch, and the other 3 motors drive 6 functions.

I know a recent JCB Backhoe MOC that might interest you

42214 1135 pieces 179.99 EUR 42215 2359 pieces 399.99 EUR 18+ The demolition excavator is probably 42215. 42214 has the same price as 42176 Porsche and the former has 300 more pieces, so I guess it's another car that uses the new 2-in1 hub+motor.

Or a CAT D11 or a Liebherr LR 13000...

At $99.99 there is almost no chance that it would be RC.

How many cars are there in this year line up? There are: - 5 small car sets: 42204, 42205, 42208, 42212, 42213 - 2 F1, erm, cars: 42206, 42207 - A Nissan Skyline GTR, which is also a car - Two pull back vehicles, which are also cars That is 10 cars over 19 sets. What a time to be an old school Technic fan...

I love this phrase, it captures my impression of this part so accurately

The good news is that there are quite a number of new useful pieces. The not so good news is that in order to prop up the value of this set in the eyes of MOCcer, they all appear in this set (and probably the other F1), and are likely to stay exclusive to this set for a while.

Who wants an early review of this set? No I don't, but maybe @Maaboo the Witch does.

Yeah I think 42160 and 42146 are supposed to clear stocks of remaining L motors and Angular motors. The same pattern happened when PF was being phased out: 42070 are used to clear stocks of M and XL motors, while every PF sets after that (42080, 42082, 42095) are used to clear stocks of L motors.

Death to the fake PF!

Thanks a lot!

Does anyone have the digital file for this set?
