  1. Yes, but I suspect more advanced than 2 speed when major manufacturer is involved, specially with their racing brand Alpine, so perhaps some endurance model or 410? (Just pure speculation)
  2. Teaser if upcoming 42130 set? If rumors have any meaning; 42127 that will cost about 100€ highly unlikely is a set without gearbox.
  3. A little bit orange development (cab is over 90% finished; just need to find 2 dark bluish gray pieces to finish cab)... Drivers side is completely finished, but other side is to be done...
  4. I look from time to time in your wheels chart, but somehow I'm missing this tire https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=52985#T=C&C=11
  5. Nice model with intermediate tires
  6. I know the feeling "you think that a fairly uncomplicated and small MOC will be easy to build." Very nice build. It is always nice to see your Scorpion.
  7. @Thirdwigg front looks like this: (on first two photos you can see portal axle with 8 to 16 reduction) ...and I have started to work on cab yesterday (sorry for bad indoor photo quality, but I hope to find few hours of time to continue today afternoon)
  8. Forgot to mention on first image you can see Unimog has its terrier guardian
  9. Since I couldn't find some parts to update my telehandler, I've decided to work on Unimog a little bit. Now I have sturdy chassis with 21 studs wheelbase, width over mudguards 17 studs, front bumpers, rear radiators, headlights etc are finished, engine is placed and both front and rear manually driven PTO are finished. Looking at the moment I'll probably switch from 2 light bluish 5 x 7 frames to one transverse placed 11 x 5 H frame and try to imememt some pneumatics for attachments. @Thirdwigg as you can see on front bumpers I have decided to make orange cab.
  10. Sounds plausible; as I usually look ne sets for new parts I often neglect that fact. One key factor is that I have no place for additional sets; have 2 Xerions in the box, one 42000 and one 42095 still in the box and the only thing that is interesting to me are new tractor tires to see if I can transform to 1;18 scale from 1;15...that could enable myself to make few U.S trucks that I wanted last 10 years or so,,,I'm only sorry that Ingmar could not see this but, back to topic...
  11. As tractors builder it is always nice for me to see a new build. Nice pack of functions, but as in my case I see that hood is difficult to build when you try to replicate real tractor, so I understand your choice. With new Zetros tire it would look better. Kind regards Or silver / even light bluish gray... mostly
  12. You're right. That could also be a factor...
  13. Suspension have much more parts than axles on Volvo, but I agree that until official images appear it is hard to tell where are those 2000+ parts... I was hoping that @Brick-a-brac has information about tire dimensions since no images are allowed to be published
  14. Axle looks really sturdy with custom parts, but as you know (from my subjective experience) I prefer Lego parts.
  15. New tractor tires could be good excuse for that; or new m-motor with position sensor; or something else?
  16. For 4 PU motors and 4 new tractor tires it looks really to expensive. But I'm really interested in those pictures to be public
  17. Small progress with 1:18 telehandler; after almost one month cab is finished and tires are not rubbing on chassis. As you can see 4 motors are placed below which gives small ground clearance but this model will be used inside only. The reason I chose 68.7 tires is to represent smaller tires used on 560-80 loadall (from 460/70R24 to 480/80R26) and to fit all motors on smallest space as once @jorgeopesi said that building in small scale is changing and forces you to optimize your creation... Total height of model will be about 20 studs which represents scale 1:18. Next step will be to sort out parts needed for stairs, mirrors, lights and air conditioning to finish cab.
  18. I see. But in month or two it could happen.
  19. My main interest are tires; since I have lots of PF elements and do not want to use additional devices like smartphone or tablet, I'm not worried about price. Looking forward to see official images.
  20. Thanks; that means tire is 81.6 x 34-38 ( most likely) on wheel technic racing small 43.2 x 26. Now let's hope that there will be some other set like Ninjago or similar theme using same tire to get them more often since I need about 20 of them for my ongoing projects... Kind regards
  21. How many treads are on tiree on your images Luca? Xerion (set 42054) has 20 treads on tire 107 x 44 and Jeep (set 42122) has 16 treads on 56 x 26 tire. Thanks
  22. Let's say that all of posted by @Brick-a-brac is true, I have one question - can you post us at least one more thing tire dimensions?
  23. Do you know if Unimog uses Novagrau (new gray) or black chassis? (Unimog special magazine that I receive via email chassis on Unimog looks black on images) Thanks
