I wonder if adding a 42203 can suffice parts for a trailer. Just a brainfart, discard if it's too wild/wrong colored.

Are these the jeep tires?

42148 had the opposite problem - after two insertions the axles were loose - the wheels kept falling off.

Has anyone built it with no stickers? I really wonder how do the headlights work/look.

You had the 42138 and 42137 dual-pullback sets too with the ratchet "charging" and car-transporter-compatibility too. Not only the MJ sets.

The 42218 has the worm gear, the thin beams and the axles needed to try and copy some polybag sets. The one above was finally approved by RB and here it is. Below you can find the Forklift polybag out of it's parts. I've made cargo for it too. The mast can tilt in the up position too. Uploading it on RB soon if you're interested. 30710 is VERY tempting, but I have no idea what kind of bucket to make for it.

John Deere - Volvo crossover 42218 C-model. Made in 2 hrs, still waiting RB to upload it to their site. The bucket is horrendous, but it can be detached and built better if anyone cares to do so.

Currently my display sets are 5, 2 of which are my MOCs, 1B model and 2 A models. Stashed away it's about 50/50. I sent my stuff for a show last year and didn't bother rebuilding them.

I didn't know the sticker sheet counts too. Since when does it do so? - I've reworked it - those were the parts in question. The brown beam is 11L, I see. Structurally the only place it mattered was for friction on the grabber's rotation. The other 3L were hidden and buried inside. 42218 Final PDF /with steps and pages set up/ - clicky link to .io file

I just spotted it too. I've just made a PDF with the instructions for the model too. As a time capsule I'll keep it and compare with the TLG one. Can I upload and link it here or it's some embargo-breaking stuff that I don't want to see an attorney for?

We're finally getting the TRACTOR TIRES! WOO!

42148 had 4 wheel-sized gears and two wheels - I don't know if it counts that way... I managed to rebuild it digitally. IO link I can't figure out the following layout below. Both keep the piece count. The left one uses a singled out part, the right one - parts already in the set. What's better for the pendular suspension - frictionless pin or a blue one? or Cheers from Bulgaria!

Ooh, we get a new grill and bigger headlights. And no flag to wave around. /s GREAT! /s

I see two different colors on the rear axles. So the diff might not be there...

Ok, opening hood is not listed as a feature then. My bad.

So it doesn't even have an engine? edit: it does OMG it has opening doors and it turns. WOW!!!!!!!!!! For I bet less money on release my 42037 cries in the back corner with a diff, hubs, 4x big tires, 4x shocks and space for motorization. I do agree in this "fair" comparison that the BMW has more curves and styling. But I bet it's in the same price range. That's some new heights right there.

mcpherson in Technic is too high will raise the hood/bonnet line and requires a big vehicle to look proportional. 1:8 scale hot hatch as a flagship wouldn't sell as much as a hypercar imho

On a side note - 42009's instructions were low-res before when I built it. Now they're not. Maybe they're hi-res-ing all older instructions. I'll check out and edit this further... https://www.lego.com/en-us/search?q=9398 - this is not working too.

Anybody noticing the new fender pieces that are flat?

Some R34s and earlier Rs had rear steering too. Based on that - <insert "wishful thinking" here>.

https://rebrickable.com/sets/42098-1-b1/truck-show-cars/?inventory=1#comments Rebrickable does show B-models if you scroll the furthest down the alt-builds page. Above is an illustration. Also - you can get the sub-sets listed as inventory pieces too :)

Finally, a set that has the parts for the Rebrickable dude mascot thingy...

These beams always seem a bit hard to incorporate in my alt-build MOCs due to my lack of ultra-mega-master-engineer-knowledge. and it's cousin/brother I know they are very useful, yet for some reason I can't position them properly to benefit from the angle they have and they are always somewhat sticking out. Do you have any recommendations on how to better utilize them - as in how to make a 90degree connection with them besides using the axle holes on the long side? Or any other useful angle combo that can be structurally sound. https://rebrickable.com/parts/32271/technic-beam-1-x-9-bent-7-3-thick/ https://rebrickable.com/parts/32348/technic-beam-1-x-7-bent-4-4-thick/ Both 42164 and 42197 have those and I struggle with incorporating them in my designs.

Just saw this. Re-did it in Stuido - let me know if there are errors. https://bricksafe.com/files/kostq/wip/421404-Fire Truck-RFC.io It'll possibly be on the next Technic magazine. https://bricksafe.com/files/kostq/wip/421404-Fire Truck-RFC3.io - green parts I'm unsure of LEGO SET 421404-1 - Fire Truck edit2 - I can't seem to get the axles in the cabin right - see the RFC3 file. 4L axles don't come in many colors, the cabin seems to widen at the back though.

I'm surprised this set is not a polybag one to be honest... Maybe the backhoe as a second feature tiers it up. I mean compared to my first 42031 set this seems cheaper somehow IMHO. Also - using the BRONCO tires or however the bigger than these rubbers are - it actually looks better too. The fenders have clearance.
