on your profile is written Mozambique As you can notice my Terrier is on blanket that is Croatian flag... i have used AK47 in army service ...

buwizz is not cheap one...despite i do not live far away from @Zerobricks; much closer than Mozambique anyway

Crap; whenever i see new post in this tread i gope to see new cv hoints from Ford... It seems that I'll have to wait few another months for that

only IMHO i like more PF elements (they are not "smart device" dependent)

Well it is hard to please everyone, and even harder to reinvent the wheel; but i have similar thoughts, specially about new C+ sets...(OK Zetros IMHO looks decent, but price is killing me); also it kooks that cars have only different bodywork (if you can call that bodywork worhout elegance etc) and same mechanic (no matter 1:8, or smaller scales). it appears that only joy is in introducing new parts OK it's my opinion and to summorize, only interesting thing for me is if rumors about narrower rear suspension on Ford are true and CV joint with axle will appear...to enable me sturdier smaller scale Unimog front axle...

you're not the only one... i have the same problem with Arocs, Volvo FX...like and after a while (when I realise that i miss crucial parts) i return to tractors...

I was wandering how long would it take to go back to trucks

don't use this picture; @sirslayer already made iron volture from same cartoon; don't tempt him

It looks like you can use this part from inside https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=33299&idColor=5#T=C&C=5

Maybe it is dark bluish gray axle 3L (or some "bug" as with firefighting plane)? ...or new re-re-color (like on axles)?

please use English (despite facts that they like all nations had brights and dark sides in history)...(but i don't mind your avatar/picture)

well Russian agression is playing in TLC cards, since logistics from China gets complicated over time

plausible; but still hope for some idea how to make narrower axle usung reduction hubs...(which probably wont fit inside such wheel)

I suppose you mean something like "Defender" wheel only 43.2mm in diameter...

Catalina was always one of those legends IMHO. You made it recognizable at the first sight

something like that definitely since TLC used thin 6L liftarms for independent suspension before

usually TLC thinks like that, but i think competition will make them rethink their behavior sooner than they think

If only TLC would make compromise between our suggestions and make new 90-95mm tractor tires. I was thinking about snaller scale with Zetros tires and more details (more parts like Mack Anthem)

I hope they use slopes on roof like on Volvo and not sticker like on small Deere from last year

could be... TLC got inspiration how to lower parts count and it isn't licensed set anyway, so there is no obligation to anything

i assume it will be based on Zetros tires

My half of coffee will be enjoyed now as ice-coffee since i had to move 2 (heavy) working desks on place for future workshop ...

and i thought (hoped) it is yellow and read; it's obviously time for new glasses

yes, it looks so...but wait for reviews to see what other possible interesting parts are in new sets ...

For start; as a member of Chevrolet family it looks much better than Corvette
