    New inverted tapered panels Looks like they are designed to mate with 4500 Technic Panel Curved 7 x 3 Inverted
  2. SNIPE
    I agree but lego are kinda pushing these newish low friction gears nowadays
  3. SNIPE
    Yeah, for example 1x3x7 panel has the 4 pinholes on the front then 3 pinholes on either side, so I personally think it can be moulded.
  4. SNIPE
    I would like a #1 connector but where both holes are pinholes.

    I think the new 1x3 technic brick was created because either: Its cheaper than putting a 1x2+1x1 technic brick or three 1x1 technic bricks Its stronger than the above assembl(ies) It has more offset anti-studs (2) where as if you had the above assemblies then you would have 1 or 0 offset anti-studs.

    New 1x3 technic brick

    Busy building the set (it arrived yesterday) and one idea I want to do is: Take a chrome sticker from the NASA UCS space shuttle discovery and cut them to size in order to fit on the side mirrors as well as the rear view mirror

    so, the "shark fin" connector is the same angle as the #3 connector, not the #7 Here is a comparison between the unimog, 42110, and 42177 tyres:

    aah ok Seems the same everywhere

    Nice work. I only so far after building the real set added LBG 1x1 round tiles to the engine pistons but I have a seperate replica chassis for my MODs. by replica I mean because I built it from.watching a speed build before the set came out officially, so no new parts are in it.

    I'm sure this was used in The Lego Movie and is also available in the lego unity minigame/psrts library, it just isn't in any set(s)

    5.5L axle instead of 4L axle with stop TLG needs to stop being so incompetent. EDIT: oops, the 5.5L axle should have been where the HOG dial goes but I thought that required 4L with stop. My bad, all sorted, if I could put the digital instructions on my computer monitor it would be bigger and I could even zoom in, but only.book 2 is on the LEGO website currently.

    I just noticed that the 16L axle has a new mould, luckily this cutout does not effect the frictoon of half of full beams at that point:
  14. SNIPE
    Ok, I tested it myself once I got the new engine parts and, yes it technically fits but it does not snap in and has only a little friction: Does anyone know if this is a genuine lego Pin, according to bricklink there are 2 or 3 types of 1L friction pins, only 1 of which has a hole that is too small for a bar, however the slats are all on one side unlike mine, where they are are at 90 degrees to the centre slats:

    2x2 dishes are a hair smaller than 2x2 round plates and come in trans clear bead002 is available in trans clear Probably a few more possible parts too, I use LDRAW parts bin to browse thru all ldraw parts quickly
  16. SNIPE
    I assumed he meant that it had to be 0.5L in depth and had a tyre, a barhole is not ideal but may suffice for his use case I'll take a look shortly

    That bit I just copied from a youtube speedbuild, its easier to modify an existing assemly than try to imagine one from scratch I find. Removing the 8 tooth gears would mean using a 28 tooth gear just to drive the differential and this would get in the way of the steering rack. I don't intend to do extreme off-roading anyhow and I have a load of 8 tooth gears, its more about challenging what is possible to squeeze into a certain sized model than having a super strong and reliable model, however I do avoid very weak connections (unless they are just for prototyping) I don't know why people make their lego muddy and scuffed by taking it outdoors but to each their own.. Oh also remember that a lot of what we see here was designed by LegoScript to be as space and parts count efficiant as possible, so I doubt I can do a better job really than it because its a damn good tool
  18. SNIPE
    Yes.

    v4 chassis WIP: I added rear wheel steering (a litte bit of turning radius) hi/lo gearbox, DNR selector, centre diff lock, HOG steeting+steeing wheel also added As previostly mentioned I have a modified 42110 front axle with: Diff lock motor Winch motor Front bumper Bullbars Bonnet lock mechanism Steering motor Adjustable ride height mechanism But I can't use that as-is since it needs modifying to work with this model, however it is close enough.

    Thx

    @kbalage How about Unimog tyres? I get this set on aug 1 so I can try anyhow, just curious, as they don't seem to be that much bigger than the new stock 42177 tyres.
  22. SNIPE
    The only advantage of the macaroni connectors is that they allow an 8 tooth gear to be placed on the outer corner without it jamming the teeth, where as a #6 connector will jam the teeth, so therefore I don't think we will see macaroni #3 #4 #5 #7 connectors soon
  23. SNIPE
    My modified version of this set has a locking front diff, you'll find more info in the 42177 MODs thread
  24. SNIPE
    Yet this set has a bright orange 1x1 beam and its listed seperatley in the parts inventory EDIT oh wait thats gold, what the hell is wrong with The lego Group sometimes?! this looks orange not gold
  25. SNIPE
    Interesting how set 42173 has 2 other parts in reddish orange that don't exist in set 42177, and those are: Axle 2L with Bush Connector with Pinhole & 1L axle This will be good for if we want to improve the bodywork. Here are some more parts in Reddish Orange too. Anyone know of any other new sets that have new recolors in reddish orange?
