Thank you very much! I checked them out and 1 works like a charm now, the other still gives me some minor issues, maybe needs some more bending. Really didn't expect such a easy fix btw, the XL motor working on all connections really threw me off, but i noticed it has a different connector with much wider contacts..

They're all V1's, 2 from my 8043 which also used to work just fine before i swapped them out for V2's, and 2 from the 42030 i ordered. When i stack the other motors on top of my XL motor's connector they all work aswell, but when you turn them arround they stop working again. Connections are all clean aswell, no visible rust or oxidation. Don't have a converter cable sadly.

I bought a set from bricklink a while ago and tested out the electronics, only to find that they were acting really strange. I'll try to explain it is as clear as possible but i may mess up a bit. So the set came with 4 motors, one of each kind, XL, L, M and Servo, and these all work perfectly fine on my own battery packs and recievers. But now i hook them up to the included recievers, so XL on red, L on blue, but then only the XL motor works. Now i'll switch them arround, but yet again it's only the XL motor that works, but now on the red channel. The L motor does function correctly when hooked up to a different reciever or straight to a battery pack. Further testing shows the XL motor works on all my recievers, both red and blue channels. The L motor works on 2 out of 4 recievers but only on either red or blu side, not both sides on the same reciever The Servo motor worked on none. And the M motor worked on 3 out of 4, also on just one side per reciever, either red or blue. And again all the motors work directly on the battery pack, or when hooked up to known good reciever. So what's going on here? How does one motor work on a reciever, but another does not? Can i throw away the motors or are the recievers at fault here? It's really frustrating because i am in the midst of making a deal with the seller aswell, but i can't without knowing exactly what's broken. It's like the recievers are picky in which motors they want to actuate and which ones not, but how's that even possible?

Looks absolutely perfect, got that awkward but industrial shape down to a T.

Sorry for going off topic but i can't help but say you should check Sariels comments from time to time on Youtube, the guy was never nice, just very arrogant and rude. Also the CAT looks to be alright, very detailed but not really interesting, kinda like the big white crane from a while ago. It's only selling point will be it's size, maybe a good set for parts but even then you really need to like yellow, and have deep pockets. Really dissapointed in this and last years line-up in general tbh, only the tow truck stands out imo.

If it were cheaped i'd agree, but even then would've prefered it with 3 axles and no PF.

Never expected my childhood favorite to show up in this competiton, and really nicely done too! Wouldn't change a thing about the actuator if it were up to me tho, the original was only supported in the front too, it looks about as right as you can get imo.

And rightfully so, it's a expensive, bad looking, slow and unintersting R/C truck. Especially if you compare it to trucks in this scale from the past, such a dissapointment.

Official promotion material right from https://www.lego.com/en-my/product/6x6-all-terrain-tow-truck-42070 Looks quite outdoorsy.

The current leak looks so bad that it must be a placeholder. And judging by the CGI look and the word "PRELIMINARY IMAGE" covered over i'm hopeful it'll change.

Yeah i see what you mean, the open fenders do look a bit out of place. But then again i always thought the same thing about the 8285, it is kind of fitting with Technic imho.

Holes?! in a technic set? Outrageous!

It's been too long since Lego had a proper truck in their line-up too, can't wait to see what it'll look like though. Pricepoint wise and it being a 4x4, it'll probably be the same scale as the unimog right?

Absolutely perfect, such a densely packed model with so many functions, it's ridiculous! Can't wait for the instructions!

As someone who collects the arocs sized trucks, i agree. All of those brought something new to the table, but cars are just whatever, chassis with a fake engine and openable doors, woah. Must say this isn't a good looking one either, the stickers define what it's supposed to mimick, and the shape doesn't even come close to the real deal.
