Why is buying for parts weird? I buy sets for parts all the time. i bought 8109 twice because i needed black panels for a moc. and all the other parts will maybe come in handy for something else. in my opinion you can never have enough parts when moc'ing. I have 4 crawlers just because it has a lot of pf. And the rest will come in handy someday. So if it is weird, than i am just a weirdo.

Don't forget the s..tload of pf stuff that makes it expensive. MkII doesn't have this. Grtz Johnny

I thought i read somewhere that the volvo has around 1680 parts. Mkll has 2600 so its not even close.

Beautyfull really beautyfull. the other day a i was delivering fuel to a boat with my truck and at the docks i had to drive underneath maybe 10 of this cranes and i was thinking that if i ever find the time for a massive moc this would be so wonderfull to recreate. now i have a example to look at. Thanks for that.

this is truly a magnificent moc. perhaps with the new bigger bucket it would even look better.more badass as the bucket now is a bit tiny.

And when is a moc "special" ? Grtz Johnny

keep us updated on the progress. i have never tried it before and i have a tatra 8*8*8 here. so maybe i could use some of your ideas. grtz johnny

this is a very nice build especially considering the parts you've got at hand.

great job.that bucket sure looks small.or the loader really big. i love it. thanks dokludi

i wonder about the steering also. the power isnt turned off, cause the bucket still works. or they would have to disconnect the plug of the ir receiver while turning left.

try and turn the hole thing around? so the small side of the baljoint is on the chassis side and the long side on the wheel. then maybe it could work. grtz Johnny

Its practically impossible to unload half of the logs. He can not push he's forks tru the logs.a better way is a crane to unload the logs. If i was the driver of the truck i would probably get furious when they abuse my trailer like that.

If so , then he has got to have a pendular axle in the rear. Does anybody know the lego version has a pendular one?

Most tractors these days have a pendular front axle and the pivot point is suspended. So when you drive on road it drives soft. Pendular axle alone doesnt count as suspension on road.it would stil bounce al over the road.

Looking really good. But i spot 1 mistake. Grtz Johnny

most tractors nowadays have a suspended cab and also a suspended front axle. Even our massey ferguson from the year 2001 has a suspended front axle.

i really like it a lot very compact yet powerful and fast also the way the turning speed matches the speed off the tracks is really cool. very good/playable excavator. thumbs up.

can we see ,can we see please please.

B-model maybe a VAN off some sort? lots of panel for bodywork.

one other advantage of lego tatra axles. If you use balloon tyres , they have more grip because they don't roll on the flat middle section of the tyre but on the grippy part on the outside of the tyre. Grtz Johnny

It's always tesame when TLC comes with a new set. Complaints ,complaints and some more complaints. And all this in advance. The set hasn't even been released yet.afols always know better . I am happy with the new sets. Lots off red panels suspension pieces, pf stuff, yellow hubs, new bucket,... . Maybe i am easily pleased. But i am one happy afol. Grtz Johnny

maybe the dude is just up and running after a heavy weekend.

They are placed directly behind the cab. Integrated in the hood. marder beat me to the answer

Because you create power behind the switch and the light is connected after the switch .

They work as generators when turn by external force. When you connect two engines together with the wired, turn one and the other will also turn.or connect to batt box leave the box off and the licht will luminaad when you turn the motor.
