    This is just a great modern version of this classic! :-) The only thing that's not to my liking are the forks as just red axles. Liftarms would be way sturdier ;-)

    I have really high hopes for 2022 models. There are so many possibilities now for different sizes and configurations. Also pneumatics made a comeback, so maybe, just maybe, we'll see some very cool agriculture sets. A combo-set with a tractor with hay forks and a trailer would be very nice. @Dami Quite a nice list :-) We already had some of the models like the monster truck. The compactor is more unlikely as it has very limited functions for such a big model. The grader on the other hand with 2200 pieces would be very huge. I'd rather see it with 1x11 pneumatic cylinders. Also, its rather unlikely from Volvo, as they discontinued graders in 2014. But we have a CAT-license now and they have a broad range ;-) Yes please! My long-term MOC-project is a logging truck in such a configuration:

    Looks very good :-) As you are going for precision: The rear end of the forklift is a little too wide.. only 1 stud liftarm in the middle and the panels on the side should look more like the original, though there is no half stuf bushing then ;-)

    Imagine a track openly laying on the ground. Then the sprocket just rolls over it with the speed given by it's rotation and circumference. When the track touches the ground (like it should), there is no relative speed difference between the ground and the track. The sprocket rolls just over it. It's like a gear rolling over a gear rack. Doesn't matter how long the gear rack is ;-)

    @I_Igor This makes no sense to me. Imagine a flat track and one driving sprocket with constant rev. The track length doesn't affect the speed at all, no matter how long it is. Only the circumference and the rotation speed of the driving sprocket matters. @aniszek1 : Sry for the misuse of you thread for this :D
  6. Jundis
    I am really puzzled right now... number of track segments shouldn't affect the speed at all...? What I forgot was the height of the track segment, which affects the speed and also the speed ratio. Ah okay! I thought we were talking about his model here xD

    As @SaperPL said, better go for a 8L gear rack ;-) Also: Did you try do use the long soft axle or is it too short?
  8. Jundis
    Hmm as the driving gears are the large and the extra large sprockets, this should be fairly easy. Large sprocket has 10 teeth, extra large sprocket has 14 teeth, so the ratio is 5:7. Same ratio can be achieved with the 20 teeth bevel gear and the new 28 teeth bevel gear...? Circumference doesn't matter here.

    I take this as a praise ;-) Also you linked to a really cool little grader and even cooler as it is a B-Model! Jup, but I don't think it will be a flagship as it really doesn't really have many parts due to a rather open structure. My grader had abouth the same lenght and scale as the 42043 and had just a little over 1000 parts. Also a grader would be a perfect model for the dumb battery box with 1 motor and tons of pneumatics. Same setup could apply to a pneumatic backhoe :-) And Lego, please hear me out: We need way more agricultural machinery! You have the right wheels now :D

    Very nice to see this progress I am especially curious about the cab design, you are just teasing us here with this pic :D How did you do the suspension? I only see a front pendular axle, are there rubber parts within?
  11. Jundis
    This was also on my bucket list as a child but never got it... I am really curious about the bodywork. The small red fenders could be an option?
  12. Jundis
    As the pneumatics with 1x11 cylinders returns this year and the CAT-license available, is there a possibility for a grader as an A-model?
  13. Jundis
    ;-) Hands down, best model of the wave. Thanks! Just now, it is a bummer: First technic page are small models, which are quite nice. Second and third page only two non-licensed models, the rest are just IP-models with no B-Models.... :-/ Also looking at the catalogue: The grey backround is just depressing, the design just lazy and not inspirational at all. Just imagine it through the eyes of a kid in their early teens: There is no magic, no spark to ignite the flame of wanting these sets.... put them into a dirt backround into a quarry or on a road... On a side note: Is the 42114 Volvo already phased out?
  14. Jundis
    Maybe you can get some inspiration from my mod of the 42121 ;-) --> Thread
  15. Jundis
    Looks good so far :-) One suggestion/question: Did you try to recreate the mechanism and the bucket? It geatly enhances the movement, as the "open" position right now is quite restricted in your built ;-)
  16. Jundis
    Thanks guys :-) I will redo the lower rear end, now it looks a little to chubby :D @SaperPL : I totally respect your viewpoint and surely don't want to break the rules. I am not an AFOL with unlimited parts and money and had to de-assemble 3 model (42114, 42121 and 42122) to get the parts needed. If this model were against the rules, the admins surely would take note and I'd withdraw it from the competition. But as there has been a lenghty discussion about which models should be allowed and how to reinterpret them in a modern technic way. It was my understanding, and the understanding of many others, that it is within the rules to change the scale if needed but to stay as true as possible. To recreate this model in it's original scale would completely give the exact same functions as it had and zero innovative and creative character. :-)

    @MangaNOID : I think you are referring to my entry. In the generic contest thread, this has already been heavily discussed and the contest itself is limited in selection of builds, but not size, as you already stated. I see this rule just to prevent from extremely big builds, recreating an already big set. Voting criteria are: True to the original Quality of the build. Looks (shape, color scheme, etc). Functionality. Originality.  All criteria are pointing not to just a remake (take out technic bricks and put in liftarms instead) but, as the name of the contest already shows, a recreation, which means a modern technic interpretation. As @brickless_kiwi stated perfectly in my thread: As a last note: Contests are for fun, mostly to challenge yourself and not battling each other :-)

    I tried different configurations, but all turned out more cumbersome... :-/ I now stuck with my first idea and build the chassis, currently waiting for more biscuit pieces:
  19. Jundis
    The 7L track works with the overall width of 50. This thing will be friggin huge. Length of over 100 studs....
  20. Jundis
    The thing is, Lego slapped a 11+ patch on the Defender, but a 18+ patch on the Ferrari. It should have been the other way around. TLC always tried to broaden their audience and the thinking is: "gaining two new costumers and losing one is still a win", which is sad but makes total sense for a profit organisation. As long as 2...5 good ones out of 15 models are out each year, the AFOL fan base is satisfied and won't rebell too much or drop the brand alltogether. As the car theme in technic runs well, I think TLC sticks with the plan of small, medium to big and premium vehicles sizes.
  21. Jundis
    Thanks @Bartybum ! Blue and red ones look better than the orange one imho ;-)
  22. Jundis
    42029 had a winch and tipping bed, so two functions more than we expect from the Raptor ;-)
  23. Jundis
    According to Promobricks, price tag is 139 €. Lower front bumper seems like curved panel 3x7 and the new 2x3 liftarms curved in dbg on the sides.
  24. Jundis
    It looks nice but if the older info is right (1379 pieces for 149,99 EUR), then this is overpriced as hell. I mean, it's the same price as the upcoming 42128 Tow Truck...
  25. Jundis
    Agreed to the first point. I don't think there will be a significant degradation on the tires, given the use outside. The model isn't that heavy the tires would wear out. Also there has been a Jeep model from CADA using diff locks before.
