Here is the mini dump truck next to tracked outback dumpers:).

Well, now the cute little dump truck is done. And this is so fun to play with. So now i will make free instructions for this. Im really proud of this:).

I wonder same with the 42209 shovel. And the 42100 shovel was not seen on any other set.

Well, this wasn't meant to happen. I was planning on making something different with this chassis. But when i put side panels on, it looked so good dump truck. So i decided to convert that to dump truck. And it looks really pretty:).

New project:).

It looks really good:).

Here is product video for this:).

Well, i recently watched this review for the poor turbo tank. And its amazes me how poorly this has been made. There is a lot of poor connections. But luckily after i discovered this video i had to do rough handeling test to my tracked outback dumpers. And they can hold much better. The weak ares are the roof on the mini model. But it needs a lot of force to break it and its not a problem. And my developement bigger version front was pretty easy to break. But when i maded the instructions version, i did reinforced it. But it might still be a little bit fragile still. But again it need some force. And the mudguards are a little weak point for these. But all in all my models are more robust than legos "kid tested stuff" :). And little addition don't lift the minimodel on its bed because of the mini linear actuator:).

Interesting, the 42212 includes important piece for steam locomotives. Now its matter of time, when some one turns 2x 42212 to steam locomotive as an alternative build:).

I wonder, since its july, when we should expect the august technic sets reviews to be released:).

I agree:).

In finland, most of peoples buy lego sets for kids. Because lego alternatives are hard to find in stores. We usually have the bare bones like cobi and mega construx. But when i was kid we only had cobi and cobi was back then so hard to find. And in 2020 and later now mega construx and cobi can be found most of the big stores. But still most kids in here just want legos. And if you want something else than cobi or mega construx. You have to import it from germany most of the times. This is kind of sad to think i really wish we had more choices:/.

Looks great. Glad, that im not the only one, who decided to create a tracked dumper:).

Here is my entry. The Tracked Outback Dumper Here is the topic link:). Pictures Functions: Motorized superstructure rotation, Motorized dump bed operation, Motorized tracks. All controlled by Multi directional gearbox. Interior: 2 seats, 2 steering wheels, fire extinguisher, inline 4 engine, plus other stuff Videos: 1kg load test for the big one, (bellow the real test is the testing face load test:).) Functions video Pieces: 2587

Here is picture of this set guts:). Here is picture of this set c+ profile:).

Well, i have to say. Im really proud with my own designed and engineered one way rotation function for the mini model. It works so well, eventought it is kind of simple. And the mini model different dump bed operation speeds are really fun to play with. And the mini model brings some new stuff to the table. Because normaly on manual model like the 42203 there is one speed for dumping and lowering the dump bed. And usually its painfully slow to operate. But the mini model fixes this flaw. With its genius 2 speed design, the mini model dumps slowly and retracts quickly. So its really fun to play with. And its really addictive to test the block feature. So the mini model is by far mechanicaly wice, my most impressive moc what i have ever created. Im so happy how the minimodel turned out:).

But i wonder. Since lego wants to make cars. Why they can't make a interesting van model. Since they have mercedes license. I think about 130€ sprinter with independent suspension at the front, live axle at the back, 2009 crane truck style crane and with working dump bed. That would sell like hot cakes. To casual car fans(who don't want a full supercar collection) and some technic fans:).

But i wonder wich suspension type/setup is better. The 8081 independent suspension at the front. And up and down suspension on the back. Or the 42213 independent at the front. And pendular suspension at the rear

This was german catalog

Here is blast from the past. The 8292 next to the 42209. I think they work really great together. Only that the 8292 B model truck dump bed is pretty hollow like the 42030. So you have to modify the bed:).

A little haul. I needed those truck tires. And luckily i found a local seller wich had also the xl and L motor. So i got the wheels plus motors for 30€:).

Yeah i think so. If the trailer does not take the spot light. With more functions than the tracked vehicle itself:).

Well i think it's acceptable because it's an accessory for the tracked vehicle:).

Ok, i have seen now the new catalogue. And its really depressing to see 5 pages just for cars. And only 2 pages for not cars:/.

Well, after looking around a bit. I found more pictures of this set guts:). And, in those product photos i found this. Apparently lego's professional marketing- and photography team tooked a day off;).
