    I mean i could purchase all the parts in one go, either from the kit site or bricklink, doesn't matter. But sometimes you don't want to afford things you could actually afford easily... And impatient is my second name LOL :D @ritztoysOn the website the mack granite is available in yellow and orange. The orange one is available with RC or without, but the yellow one just says full kit or without. Is full kit and full kit with RC the same? Has the same price as well... Also, are the rear axles driven independently by two drive trains? And if so, is this only with the Granite, or also with the Vision?

    I think i go the lazy way and buy the whole thing. How long would shipping take from NL to GER, maybe you know? My part collection isn't thaaat big nor really usefull, though.

    @ritztoysDid you buy a full kit yourself? Iam sure they are worth it, since they are basically a small series from a talented builder which gone too early, with all the expense behind it (getting the parts, old PF stuff, chrome stuff, printing the box and instructions etc...) But it's still a lot of money... Getting only the instructions would be an option, but i don't even have half the parts needed i guess, and getting them will still be like 400 bucks and takes a long time. Then there is the chrome. Seems really expensive to me (optional, i know). I bought custom chromed pieces from a german BL store called ChromeBricks (now Brick24) about 10 years ago, but i don't have much of those and they don't make them anymore. I think the people behind the current Ingmar site get them from custombricks.nl?? I wonder if they will still sell these kits in the future. They have a limited run i guess, and nobody is designing new trucks anymore... I might get the cheapest, the Mack Granite

    Iam thinking of buying a full kit truck on his site, but thats actually really expensive....

    Supported!! This could be the next set in the "train line" which started with the swiss croco.
  8. Polarlicht

    Always wanted steering in the Caterham Ideas set, so yesterday i did it. It if fully connected to the steering wheel. Fenders do steer as well, but they sit a bit high at the moment Wheels are temporary and will be replaced with the new 49.5x14 soon. Also the dashboard, nose and trunk lid are now more securely attached. Video -> -> https://imgur.com/M38hvCU

    @Sarielwasn't there a review planned for 42126 and you wrote somewhere after the 7th july, since lego hasn't shipped it yet? Unless "after 7th july" means october or something...

    I guess they choose orange , since it stands more out and is a new color for the real thing, called code orange. Dark blue wouldn't fit. Its't too dark and the real ones closest color would be antimatter blue, which is metallic and more deeper... And you can't please anyone! Also most people say its better just because it's new(er) than the orange one we have seen weeks ago, and they don't take a second look on whats going on really.

    Interesting to see a part seperator in that picture. You don't really need one for technic... And neither the pliers... Where do these pictures come from?
  14. Polarlicht
    Not a fan of the dark blue! Looks like a "low" version of 41999 and the front looks terrible! Orange pops more and front looks better. I don't mind either tire version!

    The old ones feel numb and don't really have a set point. You have to feel where the middle is...

    Ordered a hand full as soon the Jeep came out LOL

    Can you try whats required to fit the VW T2 wheels, to have dually drive wheels?
  18. Polarlicht
    They also work great on other city tractors.
  19. Polarlicht
    Did that as well, looks more realistic.
  20. Polarlicht
    Great idea with the driven pump
  21. Polarlicht
    LDD file? Yes please!!
  22. Polarlicht
    Unfortunately not. It's back to stock form now.

    I have the feeling you need to remove things, like a "dog bone" piece at the 4th axle, or the wheels would stick out. single w x20 wheel is well 20mm wide, while the new ones, double are like 30mm Also you need to shorten the axle holder (5x3 L beam), so the space between diff and wheels is only 2wide. I think The 42128 is the same width as the Mack Anthem, which has similar axles as needs some work for dually wheels as well. here is a picture how the wheels will be. You see the L and dog bone beam are in the way. The wheels do fit inside the 3l double pin with hole, but still too wide! But thats just my guesses, have to wait till i get the set! I need these new wheels so baaaad. For tow truck, anthem with trailer and the Mack b model, so about 36 wheels OOF
  24. Polarlicht
    So in what state are the gears, hubs, axles etc anyway?
  25. Polarlicht
    Am i the only one who actually really likes this set? :D I think i will try to add a front diff, or make it a Prerunner as those are RWD
