42078 - Mack Anthem
Void_S replied to AndroTech's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Or make another gearbox with two levers that switch directions for both functions: left one for the main liftarm (big LAs), and the right for smaller arm (small LAs). -
Technic 2018 Set Discussion
Void_S replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Wow! Finally, we got another really new part, however, I'd prefer it in LBG... Meanwhile, I'll pray no not getting this "autonomous" loader with pull-back motors -

Or a bigger-sized 8270. A wheeled excavator but with a crane arm instead of a bucket: -

@degenerate, thank you a lot man! Wish you a Merry X-mas too! That could be like a B model of 42063 - flying futuristic bike, that was made together by TLG and BMW and didn't have any existing prototype, or even already published somewhere. As for the tires bigger than CLAAS - I think that it's about the same to make an XXL motor - it will twist axles and other connectors even faster And moreover - imagine how expensive the sets will be.. No way, I believe. -
On the Future of Power Functions
Void_S replied to JopieK's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Plus longer distance and bigger speed mean a less chance to catch the model when it's about to fall... -
42078 - Mack Anthem
Void_S replied to AndroTech's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I believe because they are new - they never came in DBG in a such impressive amount Probably TLG changed the mold and made them more glossy... -

@Silvavasil, yes, it's Dark Azure. It seems that TLG more or less remains attached to a single shade... Anyway, now we have about the full set of most required panels -
[WIP] Monster Van
Void_S replied to offroadcreations's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Suppose you mean 42005... They reminds them a bit, but I'd say that @Offroadcreat1ons modified them too much to say that he took them from 42005 -

Void_S replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Well, let's wait and see, as usually. Like for 2H models. As for "ultimate cars", I'd prefer anything else (V8, RWD, front-engine) just because of thousand such MOCs, especially McLarens (a bit tired of them ). -

Well, they belongs to Volvo starting 2000, but it's a different brand on other hand, so depends on terms of the first contract: does it cover the all brands, or only "Volvo". -

Void_S replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Yeah, but too bad that they changed DBG wheels to black ones. I would not mind getting some DBG wheels... -
42078 - Mack Anthem
Void_S replied to AndroTech's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
No, it shouldn't. This axle adds about +0.5 studs on either side like @Bartybum wrote a few posts earlier here (+1 stud in total), but the rear side of Anthem should be re-designed by removal of extra liftarms. -
42078 - Mack Anthem
Void_S replied to AndroTech's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I never heard about them, but just googled... It turns that these "super single tires" are much better than an old-school "duals" in terms of a fuel economy (less rolling resistance, better traction etc.) and a new argue topic for truck drivers in terms of other factors. It's interesting that "single vs. duals" confrontation is not an only TLG-related topic, but a global one. -
42078 - Mack Anthem
Void_S replied to AndroTech's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Well, I still believe that it is a possible modification. We may shorten the axles mounting connectors by one stud from the each side (-2L in total) and then two more wheel could be added. In total the axle will be wider at 3L (1.5 + 1.5). Unfortunately I have no finished model in LDD, so I was able to check it only using an attempt to make a rear part: -

As for me I still can't decide, since I saw both photos with different light - and it was an obvious Medium Blue and Medium (up to Dark even) Azure... I think that we just have to wait for some official review, because we're about to argue -

Void_S replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I hope that it's a just another color... However I'm happy to see some recoloring for previously only LBG frames - now we can use them not only as part of a rigid frame, but in a hull exterior. -
42074 - Racing Yacht
Void_S replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Personally, I'd prefer the third "pulleys + rubber band" system, that should be more compact than a chain... Anyway I'm glad to see any of them and like how simple and compact it is. -

Well, it sounds very reasonable! The simplest way to hold them using a minimum amount of additional parts. -

@I_Igor, I'm not an author), but I also liked this review. Too bad that the B-model (catamaran) doesn't have any steering wheel or even a simple tiller connected to rudders. I was expecting that I just missed something before this information, but not... -

A video review arrived! P.S. It's not a mine review, just found it at YouTube
