After some deliberation, that front axle seems quite unusual, since it's a pendular double wishbone combo. It's still a huge shame that both axles aren't live/four-bar, I was really hoping they would be.

Lmao scroll up mate, you’ll know who to PM for leaks. And as it turns out, they’re more than high quality enough to discern individual parts and recreate functions.

And here I thought you were about to discuss the set Edit: nvm, just saw your other two posts. Ignore

I come here to the thread to see potential discussion, and it's just you guys cluttering it up asking for links. I know a bunch of you to have existed on this forum WAY too long to not know not to do it It happened the last batch of leaks and it still happens now. Surprised there aren't harsher penalties tbh. About the set though - I was looking to be disappointed by it, but I find it quite attractive. I probs won't buy it, but it's definitely interesting nonetheless. I really like how the design language translates directly across from the tractor to the trailer, although I'm not sold on the trailer using different wheels. Imo they should be the same as the tractor's.

I’ve noticed something really odd about the outriggers - they’re a 4-bar linkage that relies on limits and stoppers to prevent the extra degree of freedom found with 4-bars... It’s quite clever

Haven’t been able to find anything on Instagram, but whoever finds them please do save them, I’m sure everyone would love to see

It's gotta be 9 studs, it's primarily a Technic piece.

Hardly surprising lol, the A model's also a crane

Here we go again, the “screen time” argument... Smartphone control is not screen time as some of you define it, but a controller based on screen technology - It’s simply a means to an end.

As long as you don’t sell it, or try give away anything that was only available behind a paywall, and give credit where appropriate you’re fine. I wouldn’t even bother asking for permission to be honest. If A gets annoyed by getting credited in B’s MOC despite not having tried to make any money previously, I’d say A has bigger problems to deal with.

This, or a Nooteboom Mega Windmill Transporter. Kinda like what @efferman is working on (good job btw dude). As far as I’m concerned any other answer here is wrong

Welcome to Eurobricks, but it seems like your pictures of your progress aren’t working :S

Oh it's not confirmed RC? My bad, I was under the assumption it was D: If not then this set may be really cool

180€ for a licensed RC doesn’t sound too functional. Assuming 20€ or something for licensing, 60€ for the RC components, then 100€ for bodywork, I’m expecting the most complex function to be live axle suspension. No fancy diff-locks

Called it ages ago - the hoses do nothing! Also, to anyone who's actually seen it in person, how big was it compared to 42055? Going by the size of the tracks relative to the body and arm, it seems like it’s gonna be almost as large.

Dunno how it is in Europe, but Aus prices include GST.

Ah, confirmed black BWE ring for slewing the superstructure, with pulley wheels acting as rollers like in 42055. Also, man those black pneumatic hoses add another layer of depth to the model. Really love it

Indeed, it is an excavator that is big and expensive

Proportionally the new one looks pretty great, with exception to the massive cockpit. If that were smaller, it'd be fine and dandy

Oh now that is absolutely rage-inducing Another kick in the head for rigid solid axle suspension. Last set with a ball joint came out in 2015, which is WAY too long ago.

Speaking of motorbikes, I’ve seen various MOCcers on YouTube design RC Technic bikes that balance quite effectively. I’d definitely want Lego to try that one day.

Oh big oof, that page has so many of the 42XXX sets missing

Sorry, I stand corrected. Going by tyre-to-body dimensions it would be similar to 42070's length, so it actually could very well make a fine model!

Doing a Reach Stacker with the same wheel-to-body size ratio as that in the picture AND Claas/Unimog size tyres would be so pointless. Too big definitely is a thing, no matter what anyone says. A Reach stacker doesn’t warrant a model that enormous, especially since there aren’t enough functions. Most of the model would be empty structure.

The upper bit looks to be the same diameter as the curved gear rack so it very well may be
