For a drivetrain with as little intertia as this one, I can assure you that it will make little difference. The props will still stop spinning almost immediately. The combined friction in the drivetrain (axles, bushes, 90 degree bevels) is going to be much greater than the friction in the 20z/16z pair.

Eh, doubt it. There's probably significant enough clearance between gear teeth that it fits comfortably

When it comes to the boom and jib I agree, but the superstructure and tracks are very poorly recreated.

Oh lmao turns out all I had to do was Google Image search CaDA JCB Excavator to see it... it's so different to what I remember, I could have sworn it was a more orange-yellow, but maybe that was just the lighting

How apt that they're all the same car

Did they cancel a large RC excavator? I feel like I saw pics of something a year and a half ago but nothing since

Sure, but in the case of a gearbox that's played with top-down, it's more compact when the levers all share the same axle. The only advantage the cross axle hole has over a pin hole is to rotate the lever via the axle. While this could sometimes be useful, it's redundant since you already have the cross axle hole at the tip

Mmm I see... A sticker would've worked there methinks

That front bumper snoot is hilarious, also no idea what's going on behind the left door

It's practically guaranteed that they read this forum, but it's only going to be one of many sources of feedback they have. I'm also not sure they put much stock in our opinions here to be honest. We're quite a small pool - there's very few of us in this forum that regularly leave comments

I'd assume to charge the battery

It's great to have you back :) I love how you used piston connecting rods as links for the pendular suspension, very creative part usage

Is industrial SLS tech at the stage that cleanup is automated yet?

Uh oh... looking forward to it

Mmmm I love it. Despite not being crammed full with panels and aesthetic pieces it somehow still ends up looking fantastic, AND is super dense with functions! I wish TLG made sets with this approach :(
