    Rare shots from behind and below the gear box:

    Volvo box is like 42000 box, Claas box is the same as 42052, 42042, 42025 box. No idea about BWE box.

    Or maybe, the LA is made manual simply because there is only enough space for 3 axles going down, and driving the BWE, driving the belt, and rotating the turret are more important than moving the LAs.

    I'm reminded by the 42009, and the jerky movements of the outriggers. Even the L motor can't handle a bunch of gears in the 42009. This BWE may encounter a similar problem, even with the XL motor. Let's wait and see if Markus learns from the past. Probably because of that reason together with the prevention of all 3 functions being engaged at the same time. I mean, from the mechanical perspective, if all 3 functions are engaged at the same time the motor won't have enough torque, and thus maybe none function will be working.

    Background info for those who don't know: The BWE has 3 motorized function: - The upper switch: turn the superstructure, and only works when the middle switch goes up. - The lower switch: drive the BWE, and only works when middle switch goes down. - The middle switch: when it goes up, it rotates the bucket wheel + drives the conveyor belts + enables turning the superstructure + disables driving ; when it goes down, it disables turning the superstructure + enables driving. I have been wondering why Markus made the turning and driving depends on the bucket wheel switch, and I've just had an idea: maybe to prevent 3 functions engaged at the same time.

    Can anyone with the set describe how big the Porsche box is, comparing with the flagship box (Arocs box, Volvo box, Mobile Crane box...)?
  7. Ngoc Nguyen
    For me, a set that makes me love rebuilding it has to meet the following criteria: - Do not take too long - Have some techniques that make me delighted - Not have some techniques that put me off - (Optional) The final result looks delightful Hence at the moment 42052 is the winner for me. Other sets that meet the above to me are 42042, 42043 minus the pneumatic crane, and 42009 B model. I'm not really into building the 42009 A model because its outrigger forces the 16L axles to bend, it doesn't work very smoothly, and it lacks realistic details. Other sets of mine include: 8043, 9398, 8070, 42030, 42025, 42040.

    Why 8288 when you can have 42042

    The 42009 doesn't have much lifting capacity, so I doubt it can help. I have one, and once tried to get it lift a keychain consisting of just two small keys. The winch struggled a lot.

    According to Sariel, the mine truck in this set is designed from scratch, not a copy of the yellow 42035. And it seems the white truck contains something the yellow one doesn't.

    Oh dear, the resemblance is beyond words!!
  12. Ngoc Nguyen
    And considering the fixes are so simple, so easy to do....

    I think both swapping axles and changing the catchover directions are being put in place deliberately by TLG, so that people can tinker with it and discover the right way, just like some people like to tinker with their cars. As the video points out, it just doesnt make any sense at all to use a catchover when a 2M liftarm can totally serve its place.
  14. Ngoc Nguyen
    That is pure genius.
  15. Ngoc Nguyen
    The BWE is the flagship model.
  16. Ngoc Nguyen
    Is it the trans-blue of the water bricks in the Fire Plane?
  17. Ngoc Nguyen
    All the more reason to skip the Porsche and wait for a better Ultimate car.
  18. Ngoc Nguyen
    My oh my oh my you have the other 3 sets already! Hey Sariel, can you please at least describe the BWE's box in comparison to the Arocs box? I mean, is the BWE's box the same with the Arocs box in terms of height, width, and depth, or is it bigger in any dimension?
  19. Ngoc Nguyen
    Did they say a series of car sets or just a series of sets?
  20. Ngoc Nguyen
    No one in the right mind would think that selling 8070 is enough to buy the Porsche haha. Of course I'll have to put it some money as well.
  21. Ngoc Nguyen
    I'm planning to sell my 8070 and replace it with this Porsche.
  22. Ngoc Nguyen
    Actually Uwe designed the 24 Hour Race Car and the Volvo Loader. Your saying is mean.
  23. Ngoc Nguyen
    WOW I didn't know how big the Claas is until BrickWild posted that photo. The wheel alone is as tall as an adult! It's probably as large as the Volvo loader's wheel.
  24. Ngoc Nguyen
    That happens regardless of what gear mode is engaged or what the sequence is. TLG's statement is just pure bollocks.
  25. Ngoc Nguyen
    If so, do you have any suggestion for how the B model can perform the brick sorting function? I can't figure it out...
