Seen it in Facebook yesterday! Awesome model, lot of details, and I like the overall shape.

Very clever use of colors to match the Class loader as close as possible! I like the design, and how you managed to make it considering the limitation of parts. Maybe I will build it as a moc (with correct colors of the wheels) and not as an alternate considering it uses the half of the parts of the Unimog.

Wrong topic.

I'd like to encourage the use of the new small tractor tires (43x20) in Technic models, so why not a contest to build a model with (at least) 4 of these wheels? I see a lot of potential, and models will not result too big or complex due to the size limitation of the wheels.

Is there any official info about summer sets release date? I mean, which sets are planned fot June, which for August?

Yes new wheel arches at the rear. The parts at the sides of the front hood remind me the new triangular panels introduced with the Volvo EC500, but look also different.

Front tires look to be 58x28. Rims are also new because they look like 30mm wheels but with pin holes.

Luckily the wheel arches look stickered and not printed!

I think the yellow body is larger, so you are asked to move rear wheels half stud further out.

Rear wheels have the same width as the front ones.

In the Lego City forum, there are leaked pictures of a new construction set: The details in the hauler are simply great! There are suspensions too.

Very cool!

Pictures are published for a mistake in the Lego website in the Speed Champions Mclaren 77251 page

42228 pictures are on Instagram (itavix_bricks)

@Auroralampinen can we fix the first post to have the sets in the right sequence? In this way it's more simple to check if there are any "empty" codes. 42225 Yellow motorcycle 151pcs $9.99 42226 BMW M4 GT3 EVO 747pcs $64.99 42227 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 723pcs $64.99 42228 {Mclaren F1} 1675pcs $229.99 42229 Mitsubishi Eclipse Fast And Furious 827pcs 42230 ? 42231 Dodge Charger Fast And Furious 1516pcs 42232 18+ 42233 Mighty Machines Blind Box Series 42234 Viper GTS R Technic Dodge 805pcs 42235 Ferrari 882pcs 42236 Mustang Ford Technic 973pcs 42237 ? 42238 ? 42239 The iconic Batmobile from the Christopher Nolan movies 42240 {F1 Aston} 42241 9+ 42242 11+

By the way, the look of the thinner wheels is better than the wider one in my opinion, because the rims are flat on the outer side, not recessed.

If all the missing numbers are sets, then I think it is a record for Technic in terms of quantity of sets per year.

In my model the steering of the first and second axle are equal. But I was limited to the parts of 2x 42147 sets. Do you have any other 7 studs-wide truck planned in the future?

Genial!

This model is amazing! How does the steering work? It's the super detailed brother of my simple truck: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-140088/technicprojects/mini-tipper-truck-2x-42147-alternate-model/#details

Not a Lego set but a Moc posted in the Lego town forum, I think it could receive a lot more attention here, because it's an awesome model: Is there a way to move that topic in the Technic forum? @Jim @Milan

I've seen it on Youtube and I'm completely in love with it! Is there a topic here on Eurobricks? I suggest to open a new one in the Technic subforum

Cool little and detailed model! As somebody else said, this topic should be moved into the "Lego technic and model team" forum, I think it would receive a lot of interest among the users.

The other cars in this scale also have a price increase from 59.99 to 64.99. I think it is enough. Every year the price grows...
