    To be honest, this hardly can be a coincidence... Btw, this is the first time i follow these rumors closely, so just curious, when does TLG normally release official pictures?

    I myself never made instructions, but I did buy one or two paid instructions. I think whether to have paid instructions or not is a choice of the creator of the instructions. If your financial situation is that you need the profit of the instructions to do your hobby, who are you as a buyer to complain? Also, if you take time of your work, or you are every evening four hours busy with creating instructions, I think you can ask without any shame some money. To decide if you buy them, is a choice of the buyer. If your financial situation is good enough, why not? It’s personal for everyone to create instructions and/or to buy them. If a model is worth the paid instructions is totally up to the customer, just like you decide if your shoes are worth the money. If it’s too expensive for you, or you think the model isn’t worth it, don’t buy them. It’s as simple as that. And I think that @JaBaCaDaBra needs to reconsider if he should insult people befor you know about their financial situation and his/her choices.

    I meant ‘this can’t be true right?’. That was the direction my question was supposed to head in. I didn’t believe this but I thought I check, as I’m not very experienced in buying sets/parts on e.g. ebay

    Only one question. Can this be true??? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-Technic-Bugatti-Chiron-42083/254964032698

    The train hub only has two ports. If you wanna make a simple car than it works, but if you want to make something with more motors you can use the Technic hub, which has 4 ports. I’m not entirely sure, but I think that I saw some video where someone connected the Technic hub to the remote. So yes, to my knowledge you can connect the remote, but I’m not 100% sure

    @Milan @I_Igor Done!

    Thank you! I don’t want to put to much pictures so only two pictures have been added

    Hello, Hereby I'd like to present you my first MOC. It's a model of a DAF XF 105 with a Krone cooling trailer. The trailer is not really a model build by Krone, but it's inspired by several trailers. The scale is the same as TLG's midscale trucks. The tractor uses the same fifth wheel setup as the Mack Anthem. The tractor has as functions: - Opening doors - HOG steering - Lockable fifth wheel The trailer has as functions: - Opening rear doors - Outriggers using a LA More pictures can be found here: https://bricksafe.com/pages/Rebel_Lego/daf-xf-105 Instructions for the tractor unit are on Rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-72229/rebel_lego/truck-daf-xf-105/#details If there is enough interest, maybe I'll make instructions for the trailer too.

    Looks good so far. Nice that you used both PF and PU in one build!

    In my opinion, a crank is more logical, because a tow truck doesn’t move when operating the crane and a cement mixer does move when operating the bucket, but that’s just my opinion :)

    I ordered the pump yesterday, I hope they send it tomorrow.
  12. Rebel_Lego
    And did it work?
  13. Rebel_Lego
    @Andman: Wow, that’s great! If I find some time (problably tonight) I will take a closer look to the pump to see if it leeks and will also look at the small cilinder, as @Nazgarot suggested. Thank you all for your answers!
  14. Rebel_Lego
    Will they replace the pump free in a model that’s 5 years old? I will look for this. Do you think Lego still replaces these parts after five years? I never before asked for replacement parts, so I don’t know.

    The crane now moves reasonable, but not as fast as before. Is this common with pneumatic cilinders? I mean, is it common that over time they loose some of their strength?
  16. Rebel_Lego
    You mean just let the pump run for a few minutes?

    Hi, I stored my MB Arocs for about half a year. I rebuilt the B model into the A model, but the pneumatics just won’t work. I looked for any kinks in the hoses, tried the pump, tried the cilinders with nothing attached, and it all works fine. The cilinders are also re-oiled. If I attach the first section of the crane, it works fine. However, if I put the second section on, the cilinder can’t lift the crane. The problem lies just with the first cilinder. I even swapped the cilinder for the second section with the cilinder for the first section, but both cilinders seam too weak for the weight of the crane. I’m not really experienced or anything with this kind of stuff, I just build and play, and if I make MOCs its certainly not with pneumatics. I read several forums but all the solutions given there were the things I already tried. So, has anyone an idea what this might be? Maybe because I stored my Arocs the cilinders caught too much dust? PS. I also thought about adding an air tank, but I don’t know if that solves the problem?

    @UltraViolet because I started building Lego just ten years ago and in the beginning didn’t do much with lights etc. I never saw these pieces. I think I will keep my Arocs lights like this at the moment, but if i’m lighting up another model I will look into it!

    https://bricksafe.com/pages/Rebel_Lego/42043---mb-arocs-rear-lights This is the bricksafe page of the Arocs rear lights, not the best photo quality but they suit the purpose.

    Don’t know if anyone is interested in this, but I thought I’d share my solution. I decided I’d go for a all Lego solution (despite being a bit more expensive). Unfortunately I can’t post any photo’s, I don’t know why, maybe it has something to do with the amount of posts I have. After a lot trial and error I came up with this: I used one PF light to shine trough two studs, by using a transparant red 1x2 plate, with two 1x1 transparant round plates stacked on it. The PF light is about half a stud behind that and the transparant plate sort of makes the light bundle wider, so that it shines through both round plates. I decided to remove the liftarm, because letting one light shine through two studs would take too much space, because it would require a 1x2 brick stacked on the liftarm and because the effect is much better with just all transparant bricks.

    Never seen this piece before, will dive into that! Will look into this too!

    Thank you! I’ll try! Lipko gave an answer at least. You don’t have to reply if you think it’s a stupid question, right?

    Hello everyone, I have purchased a lego power functions led light on Bricklink, to light up my 42043 MB Arocs. On real life trucks you often see that the rear lights are ‘double’. I modified the rear bumper of the Arocs to create this ‘double’ lights. But, the Lego LED light has only one light bulb for every side, so it will not shine trough two holes of a technic liftarm. Anyone any ideas how to achieve this?

    If all the options above don’t help, just try if the wheels aren’t pushed too far on the axle so that they create friction between the rim and the connector that keeps the axle in place. I did exactly the same configuration as you, so I don’t think it’s a gearing issue. Just make sure the wheels aren’t too thight pressed on the axle.

    A bit late, but search on youtube.com for ‘ppung daddy 42043’ :)
