The color scheme also is very similar to this AW609. But I can find no V-22 with a color scheme anywhere close to what we're getting in this set. And absolutely no reference to a civilian V-22 variant anywhere.

That would be my guess. Hub is clearly in the cab portion, so front two wheels be the driving wheels, with XL mounted down low? Looks like horizontal is mounted over the pivot, and I'm guessing the L is low between frame rails in the back.

Found a better view of the full page: Interestingly, contrary to previous reports, this appears to show 1 XL and 1 L control+ motor (as opposed to 2 XL motors), along with some new kind of motor, presumably the previously-reported horizontally driven axis motor (angular motor similar to the spike 45602).

Where did you find that? Any more pictures of 42114 other than the one already posted in the main 2020 set thread?

I feel like those will be the first things somebody fixes and won't stop me from getting this set. It does look a little goofy and I can't quite put my finger on it, probably because we've only got (now) 2 blurry pictures of it at an awkward forward-quarter angle, and the 2nd one shows the bed rolled so we can't even make out the relative height of the bed vs cab. The latest image does appear to show the bed rolled and the steering articulated at the same time, so that's pretty cool.

Can I just make a suggestion. As a new member myself, I've been trying to figure out how to add a signature. I read the site guidelines post, browsed the tutorial forum, and the Eurobricks FAQ post which seems to indicate that signatures are available to new members but you can't put links in them until after 10 posts. However, it is stated multiple times in this thread that signatures are simply not available to members with fewer than 10 posts. Can the FAQ thread be updated to be more clear on that point, as it's confusing (or possibly old information) as written?

That's what I was thinking too.

According to https://www.lc-jrx.com/en/2020/01/28/news/lego-technic-summer-sets-2020-552.html, it's the Mudguard Arched 9 x 2 x 3, 42531, light bluish grey

Well I'll be. Box does say 3696. I can't believe they'd have a typo on a page that obviously has been uploaded and was already live at one point. You'd think they would have edited and reviewed that page loads of times before it got anywhere near the actual server.

The cached lego page they're getting all these images from has this text...I can't imagine they'd let it get to this stage of publishing without this HUGE mistake being caught, unless it isn't a mistake.

I'm confused. The Chiron is 3599, the Sian is 3969...a difference of 370. Right? Am I missing something? Really not trying to be obtuse here. I wasn't telling you to read the thread, I meant I had read the whole thread, but it didn't come out that way. Wasn't trying to be bossy. lol, sorry.

Read this whole thread and all references to part count say 3696, not 3969.

How is nobody mentioning the part count displayed on that cached page says it will have almost 400 more pieces than was originally rumored.

Thanks @Kladovec for the detailed comparison. In the non-suspended version, do all 6 axles steer (I would assume so since crabbing would be limited if not)? Other than the cost difference between the two (non-suspended requiring extra XL and servo motors), is there any positive about the suspended version or con against the non-suspended version?

I'm also interested in suspended vs non-suspended. I first found the build on rebrickable, and, I guess erroneously, picked the suspended version to start planning to build. I started buying up parts based on the inventory from OleJka but hit a snag when it came to the qty 10 steering portal with 2 pin holes and 2 ball joints (11949) which all go for around $10 on bricklink. Not paying $100 for 10 parts. Then I found this thread and started reading through. I never found a really good description of the differences, only people who referred to "difficulties" with driving and steering. I'd love to see a really thorough description or review of the pros and cons of each version. 7z files are compressed archives similar to zip or rar. I know 7zip (https://www.7-zip.org/7z.html) can open them, and I think winrar can, too. Not sure about winzip.
