42055 - Bucket Wheel Excavator
Ngoc Nguyen replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
The B model only allow one direction of the battery box, just like the A model. There are 2 switches, one in the back, one in the front. At first I thought they are all connected to 1 switch that changes the function, but since the battery box is limited to 1 direction, now I think the 2 switches are connected to 2 functions separately (moving and filtering). -

It seems like the 2 T-connectors in the inventory is a printing error. From Sariel's review, 3 connectors are used in the build and there is 1 spare. Sariel uses 2 of them to connect 3 valves to 1 source, and then he uses another one for a dead end hose. -

That can be a possibility! -

Ah hah, I know guys! In the B-model, only 2 valves are needed. The remaining valve serves as an additional T-connector. -

That's what I was trying to say. My bad, haven't thought of that! How can it be done with just 2 T-connectors? I suspect some witchcraft going on in the B model... -

There are only 2 in the inventory, and since the B-model doesn't use the compressor, I think it actually only needs 1 connector, which is used to connect the pump to the 2 valves. -
I didn't see any reply, so I post it here. Must be some kind of technical problem. Sorry if that bothers you.

42055 - Bucket Wheel Excavator
Ngoc Nguyen replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
@Secret reviewer of the BWE, whoever that is: If possible, I'd like you to check if the Arocs can be placed under the outlet conveyor belt. -
Am I the only one who, after watching Sariel's reviews of both BWE and Claas, is now more excited about the Claas and lost quite some interest in the BWE?

That's it, I'm completely sold! Before watching the review I'm still pondering, but now I'm sure I'll buy this set together with Volvo and skip the 42055.

42053 - Volvo EW160E
Ngoc Nguyen replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
In the back there are 3 valves. In order to connect those 3 valves into 1 pressure source, at least 2 T-piece hose connectors (http://brickset.com/parts/4211508) have to be used. Now that we have 2 pressure source: the hand pump and the compressor. If those two can be used at the same time, there has to be 1 more T-piece to link them to 1 common hose. But in the inventory there are only 2 T-piece connectors. So my guess is that those 2 are used to connect 3 valves to 1 source, and if you want use the compressor you'll have to unplug the hose from the hand pump and connect it to the compressor. -

My guess is that, the compressor and the hand pump can not be used simultaneously. In other words, if the compressor is motorized, then the hand pump must be disconnected from the hose system. -

One dark green 13L liftarm! My guess is that it is used to replicate some green Volvo engine inside. But only 1 green liftarm... -

It might not seem like it, but there are in total 38 panels used in this set.
