42100 Liebherr R9800 Excavator
1gor replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Well, joints are relatively good because there is one excellent exercise for finger joints - push-ups on fingers -
IMHO it is wired to have engine with axles going up and down, and still existing fake engine elements (as you correctly mentioned that are some 20+ years available) are more realistic; perhaps I'm to much pain in the a... ...but I agree that we need new engine parts, perhaps Lego should make new block (and smaller pistons) for 3 and 4 cylinders to make possible inline 3,4 and 6 cylinder engines, V/flat 6,8,12 and 16 cylinder engine, H 12, 24 engine etc (even in my mocs that are 1:15 I have to make varies compromises to fit inline 6 engine)

Ah the 49.5 tires are just made for this truck. Unimog torque tube (together with ball joint) is the most robust life axle solution and it helps a lot when making off-road or pickup (it could be hot rod pickup ) I'm no fan of axle based engines, but I do not thing you can squeeze ordinary Lego engine inside. So it is good modification, perhaps to stick with colors from original set; at least for chassis (lbg frames and beams) Regards

Thanks I have some of them in 2014 brochure, but there are number of the over the net. I'll see when implements cross my mind Thanks, I have busy weekend, but I hope to find few hours to work on a Cab...in some 10 days I expect missing parts to arrive (main reason for standstill...) But if you like this Fastrac, I have one big surprise after Fastrac in my sleeve (It is another tractor and very unique tractor)- 625 replies

42100 - Still a toy?
1gor replied to nerdsforprez's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Generally you are right; for longer period of time I do not see sets itself like sets, but more and more as parts pack and buying them at discount when they are at the end of their life-cycle. since I'm in the mid 40s I have opinion; toy is usually something smaller (more affordable) like 42079 set, or perhaps like 42081 if we stick to last year. when we discuss about price, I agree that Liebherr is way to expensive for my valet but I have learned something - the difference between man and boy is in price of toy and perhaps that was idea in TLC management to make some kind of categories or adult line and child line of Technic? Bugatti is (usually) to expensive to be child's toy...so good question is where is a limit Topic has sense because people from TLC read our forum, so every aspect will at least be discussed in future -

Thanks -
Cool, but to make it more like real thing, you can replicate (a bit smaller) solution from 42069; it used technic triangle type 2, and drive wheel and idler wheels are held together with triangle shaped structure.

That was the same case with me - about 3/4 of incoming results are in red. If it would be yellow, what color is the gear rack housing? -

Perhaps you could buy 42029 set (I suppose you had gear racks) at reasonable price, but you know the best
