Luck your little testing pool was not to deep or you would have lost to motors! That is a very cool and interesting boat.

You can say that again! Anyways, for the bar-code scanner truck, a scanner is directly scanning the speed of the timing gear to pick which engine noise to play?

That is a very beautiful MOC you got going there. Is it a U 20 firetruck?

You built 8043! I bow down to you, I don't even understand the instructions! This just shows that there is no limit to anything, no matter how you are. Oh, and Lego is a really great company, they have excellent service.

What about Mr.Toys? Its Australian and the prices seem to match the official prices on the Lego website. Here is the website and 9398 seems to cost $$289.99 AUD.

I paid full price for my Mog, $260, tax included.

Be happy until you find your truck has destroyed itself.

I don't know if you can see it but mine had all this patchy sticky stuff that wouldn't come off. And I just noticed my new wheels lego I received have a light pattern of those lines too, but luckily no sticky stuff!

Lets not have a fight here guys.

I see a health hazard. The guy sits right in front of a gas tank (it could kaboom and he can die) and his view is slightly blocked by a purple thingy (ir receiver).

I just love it, it is a 2 in 1 rc...thing. But it looks like it will one day flood with water as it leans pretty badly (in rough water), but it is still cool.

Wow, its amazing and it flies better than most paper planes, except mines of course .

Aw man, your lucky. 8258 is not even available in Canada and apparently the Unimog is disappearing from Canada too. People say it is too expensive and there is not enough demand in Canada too, but, I was able to pick one of the few remaining (like 8) from TRU.

I love this excavator, and the orange is beautiful.

Be creative, and make a strong, rectangular shaped frame, just don't make heavy and remove anything that is of no use.

Ok, lets see. Yup...it should have a nice strong drive motor, geared down so it goes nice and slow. It should also be wider than how tall it is (to give it a nice solid base and preventing it from tipping over), and the steering motor should be strong, as your truck will encounter many enemies. And, the rest of the information is available in Zblj987's videos (there are like 7 tips and other Truck Trial shots and videos all over his channel) here.

Oh I luv goodies. Hahahahaha!! Oh...but will the large sets (such as the excavator and the supercar) be available at the Lego Store?

Just a question, are all the Technic sets on the website available at the Lego Store. I am asking because I thought of going to the new Lego Store that opened up in Toronto and picking up an excavator by August, maybe for 50% off (Are the sales present on the website also present in the stores?).

I,m such a jerk. It's just that I miss them construction vehicles and 9398 isn't my "favorite" and now I have to wait till 2013 to get another flagship (if it is a good one).

Sorry, I possess no patience. I'll wait.

Where is your XXL Flatbed truck?! I seriously want to see it!

TLG have really eased on the functionality of the flagships. The Unimog and the rock crawler are not that strong in functions (like cranes and arms and stuff), they are more in the drive train and suspension while the flagships of 2009 and 2010 were more into functions (the folding crane arm and the excavator arm). Really what I am trying to say, I am not "very" impressed with the rock crawler, it's just an rc car.

Does anybody have a twenty on the b model for the helicopter (9396)?

The Unimog does have the most pneumatic parts out of the three mentioned but if you want a set stronger in pneumatics, I would recommend investing in 8455. But it is very expensive in the market right now as it is long gone out of production and it is a very rare and special set.

Oh, to add to my post, TLG would need to reconsider the gearbox of 8421 as the high speed rc motor does not exist anymore.
