I have red about both variants, and the most of such cars normally have slight crab steering to decrease the traversal forces. However, at least one car hadn opposite steering - Peugeot 406. Yes, the one from original "Taxi" movies. It took sharp turns at a high speed so accurate, so it was just impossible to do some drifting (the famous scene with fast parking was made with a ton of oil just to make the rear axle slipping).

Additionally, there is one more type of rear steering, which is quite more common but even harder to have fun for play in the toys. It is a dynamic steering which turns the wheels when the suspension is compressed only at one side (during a tight turn at a high speed). It can be easilly achived by a system of non equal-lenthed arm but I never saw them in any set or MOC (only boring wishbones) ...

I tend to agree that 8880 was and is an amazing set because of having all features of that times supercars and, which is more important, presented them for the first time and in a quite beautiful model. So, the sucessor should also be a revoltionary set packed with realistix features and presented something which wasnt and will not be available before. Following this idea, the Big Porche would fit here better, but just if wasnt followed by Chiron and Cian with the same features.

Zeux loader seemed to have motor-wheels (wheels with electric motors inside) and it worked for LEGO model of this sci-fi creation, so it should also work for a telehandler too.

Wow! I can barely see original 42128 mechanisms under this fantasticaly detailed body! One more hail to Technic + Scale Model forums merge! Should it deserve a dedicated topic, so everyone will see this miracle, not only 42128 fans?

Fantastic it the lesser thing I can say here, looking at the this model I still cant beleive its a Lego, not real bus at your desktop. Can I ask you not to hide the wedge plates with opened studs? I remembers some people tries to hide them all but they only the things now that prove it is still Lego)))

And mass charging stations and/or fast charge technonolgy. In my country you are guranteed to stay in a cold winter forest with empty battery if dare to leave a city at electric car. Returning back to Lego, ICE cars with pure mechanic inside have no competitors, as electric ones are only PU-powered (and expensive) or just have no drive train. While ICE still provide various schemes from simpliest wheel-diff-engine to most complex ever gearboxes. This way works the best still and concidering recent patent for rotary gearbox swith, TLG will keep following it for a long time.

Wow, now it looks not only as amazing shelf (and manual play for sure) model but also a really offroad badass! I love it, great supercharged mod!

Yes, sure! My bad...

Creator theme really has no own dedciated topic and is just distributed among other City/System topics under "special themes" forum. As for the Mustang modification, there is a topic on that and yes, with rear part modifications too:

Yeas, nowdays it becams harded and harded to distinguidh where the Creator series ends and Scale Model / Model Team starts (or vise versa?). Personally, I would be happy to see Creator Expert scale models here but I would hear Jim or Milan opinion rather...

Well, there are many and thousand reasons why the patented thing may never be released even as prototypes. Having some experience on how the electric companies do the same with their patents, I may say that the steps are the following: Develop an idea. Patent it once it reached some level of detailed and well-described concept (not an abstract idea that can not be patented). Now, the magic starts: [common way] You may go ahead and if the concept meets all market criteria and expectations issue the product protected with a patent. [MS + Android/Google way] Deal with some competitors to have an agreement of using this concept for some fees. MS really charges the Google company for each Android device because of some MS's proprietary code used in this OS. [patent troll] You have no plans to really issue the product (as it is expected to be quite unsucesfull as you wanted to) but your competitors will never release it too))

I would add not only expands but keeps developing it, as Corvette and Transporter's car were quite similar while the next ones like McLaren and Wrangler proved that the cars in this scale could be fully different gems, not only simply recolors.

I have also downscaled the Xerion tires and adjusted the withs (to fin the rims the best) and mount points (in case you're goinf to use it in Studio): https://bricksafe.com/files/Void_s/studio-models/42129 - 4x4 Mercedes-Benz Zetros Trial Truck.io (only lew longer CV joints are missed, I'm wokring on them).

Sounds like a set (set - set, haha!) of Light Bluish Gray panels is coming. Please, please, make it LBG (with small wheelarches ) with blue stripes! However, I won't mind having new blue panels too.

B&P does not serve Russia and nearby countries, unfortunately. Mine I have order ordered in even China and they are still traveling to me... It depends not only on the truck's weight but on a combination of several factors (I spent some time on this matter and discovered some interesting things). [Front axle load] + [necessity to work on soli surfaces] + [no necessity to operate at high speeds] - all these factors are actual for heavy dumps and other heavy-loaded rigid construction vehicles, which may easily load the front axle above the permits (and possibly sink into soils and muds). The semis usually do not use the wider front tires, as their load is distributed across the rear and trailer axles while the front axle only carries the engine and cabin. Additionally, the speed is critical for semis wich live on highways, so wide front tires with their speed limits just do not meet the desired criteria. To assume, these wide tires are a kind of caterpillars: loads a quire heavy load but by the cost of slower speed and bigger engine consumption. All written above is not actual for "super singles" at the rear axles

It it not, for sure, but even having them both for 350 EUR at a shelf during some sale, Liebherr still have many more PU componenets...

Actually, having a choice between L+XL or L+L I would take the second, as a pair of equal motors provides more possibilities for various use rather two different ones... Just my opinion.

Hmm, the truck maybe even better, personally I would love to see the 3rd encounter of 42041. At least, something with a heavy nose and lightweight driven rear may not only nicely run but also drift is properly geared.

Ahh, so it has 1st axle steered at the full angle, 2dn and 4th at reduced and 3rd fixed-driven, right? I must excuse, as I didn't realize that working engine must be connected to something to be actually driven

I don't like to be a nerd (in its bad meaning) but had the 42108 set has axles with equal steering angles? I may recall it wrong but they had longer steering arms to decrease the angle too...

The medium one. The small wasn't presented yet in the Control+ family, as least among official Technic Sets.

I tend to disagree with this opinion because of actually bigger size of PU/C+ angular motor (it really is!). As for a "junk", the PF servos may have some failures (but I didn't face them ever) but we have PU/C+ motors not so long to conclude how bad/good they are yet.

I would say a bit extended: the Buggy is better for a "light newcomer" who may need just a pair of motors ("a simply some RC set"). While Liebherr really has "a full set of motors and hubs" to build anything, including smaller PU sets - mind that the official Control+ application will work with various combinations of motors, so connecting only L+L motors, or L+XL you may fully enjoy driving Buggy or Rally car models with all features for free.
