    Can you use hard springs to help lift the boom so that it can start from a horizontal position?

    I would also suggest using more than one worm gear for your custom LA, to halve the load per tooth.

    A salute for perhaps the greatest Technic set of all time o7

    It’s a great parts pack for people starting out. The specialised pieces are just quite boring and sparse - LAs, turntable, portal hubs (yuck) and curved racks. Save for the last one it’s just more of the same.

    @Jim Guess that makes sense, it’s been so long that I don’t remember what the usual convention is

    @dimaks13 Can we name this a speculation thread so the mods don’t get into a tizzy/people don’t take any speculation as fact?

    And furthermore if anyone disagrees with me, please know that you’re wrong hehe

    The reverse steering makes perfect sense to me. There’s nothing unintuitive about it since it’s quite literally the same as driving a car in reverse.

    All I hope is that the tracked loader won’t be too similar in shape to 42032. At that price point I see the potential for a front end loader QuadTrac style. Also I really hope it uses the smaller tread links since I’m in dire need of them. Interesting that the big L1 set isn’t an aircraft like it normally is every second year. Perhaps there’ll be a plane in the 2H lineup.

    This begs the question, why don’t we have part 4185 (thin pulley wheel) with a pinhole instead of an axle yet??? Having a thin pulley wheel that can spin freely would be so helpful with proper compact reeving.

    Oh boy you are in for a doozy of a challenge @maniacman50. I’m so looking forward to this.
  12. Bartybum
    Oh lord that would be HUGE

    I stand corrected, not much in the way of suspension. I did see a photo with what looked like a pendular axle, but the range of movement would be quite small anyway, so I guess it’s not important for Lego’s model ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Just had an idea for an improvement. Double the winch speed somewhere in the superstructure, and make a more complex pulley for the winch.

    They won’t. People want cars to have transmissions because from a functional standpoint that’s one of the only interesting things a car offers, save for suspension and steering geometry. Transmissions are also generally associated with cars in the Technic community and not construction equipment.

    3-stage instead of 2-stage boom, better outriggers, pendular suspension, steering pivot points that aren’t halfway into the chassis, that kinda stuff. It’s not more functions that peeps want, but better versions of what’s on offer. I’m certain that almost all of us realise that there’s only so many functions a crane can have.

    @vectormatic Man 42077 was such a crap lazy set. It absolutely deserved AWD and a 4-speed gearbox.
  18. Bartybum
    @efferman Do I sense an incoming mod?
  19. Bartybum
    There might be some space if you remove the drivetrain to the LAs.
  20. Bartybum
    You’re bonkers @dunes
  21. Bartybum
    Nah I reckon they suit it really well.
  22. Bartybum
    @Aventador2004 Oh I do like that with black rims, nice
  23. Bartybum
    Graders need 6 wheels though don’t they? So it wouldn’t work well with a backhoe since those only have 4
  24. Bartybum
    Lol us Aussies got it good. Minus goods tax it’s equivalent $45USD here US and Canada get screwed over for it
  25. Bartybum
    Nah the nose length is fine, it’s the hood. It needs to be curvier
