I think that we can see the new differential at the back. It's a bit strange that the view of the back isn't symetric. Could the yellow part on the left be the top of a shock absorber?

When can expect to see review of the august sets? -

On this forum, a lot of people are building mocs but I don't think that is representative of "average" builders who may only build official models. For me, the lack of B model reduce the value of the set by about 25% because the B model is often about 2 times less good than the A model. -

TLG stops providing paper manual for B model then decides that people don't use it. It looks like the usual strategy to stop something: "Reduce quality => People use it less => Remove it completely". -
Where is it? It doesn't seem to be between the cabin and the motors.

Why do you think that the gearbox won't work correctly? We should be able to start in 1st gear and change gear while driving to reach a good speed. And I think that there is a kind of suspension: On the box photo, I don't think that the wheel axle is parallel to the frame.

The height between the wheel axel and the frame doesn't seem to be the same: Is it just the photo that give this impression? Could there be a moving wheel axel made without any shock absorber?

I'm not sure that the tiling of the wheel axel and the tiling of the tipper is the same on the picture.

I don't think that's possible. Are we sure that there is no suspension at all?

The drivetrain has to be disconnected to send the power to the tipping function. We will have to unload on flat surfaces. I think that it is the first time that Lego produces a remote controlled gearbox. I'm surprised that not many people are happy about it.

With the wave selector (orange thing of the bugatti), it is possible to select gears on 2 axes (we don't see the second axe on the picture). It makes 4 different positions of the gearbox. I think that the neutral mode and the tipping mode are the same. It makes one position for tipping/neutral and 3 positions for selecting different driving speeds. The reverse is done by selecting gear 1 and driving in reverse (the app lock the possibility to drive backward in 3rd gear).

Ok. It may be the other motor but I still think that it is used to move a wave selector to select 3 speeds + tipping.

The app doesn't necessary show what really happens on the vehicle. The perpendicular motor may be used to precisely move a wave gear selector in 4 positions.

It may not be the same beam on each side. I think that there is a motor able to select 4 gears: 3 for driving, 1 for tipping. All these actions can be done in reverse by changing the rotation direction of another motor.

The tipping seems to be connected to the same gearbox as the driving. - Horizontal for gearbox - L for turning - XL for driving and tipping

On another page of the catalog, there is a 2in1 logo displayed. I guess that it confirms that there is no B model for the Osprey.

It's because the price of flagship sets goes into control+ instead of pieces. -

The catalog doesn't seem to show any B model. Does it mean that there is no B model at all this year? -
The catalog doesn't show the bluetooth and app icons so we may get a dumb battery box. It's strange to have a real license for a military vehicle.
