    I thought the same thing. It looks like the 6L link connects to a Towball on Axle connecting to something that received an axle (like this). If they are going to pack this full of electronics, the drivetrain will have to support the weight better than current parts (i.e. hubs) currently do.

    Glad you like it. The green and orange turned out better than I thought.
  3. Thirdwigg
    I agree. Things look pretty good so far, and as we learn more about this set, I suspect it will only get better. There are still too many questions at this point.

    I suspect the 20T will be for steering, and the Exhaust will be for slewing. It's a simple construction.

    Interesting no HOG steering knob.

    I love the linkage on that crane. The front counterweight is a little clunky to me. I like the tires. Maybe it's time to start another feller.

    Agreed. I am getting nothing done today. I don't see much in this to justify the price yet. The price would suggest RC, but I am surprised to see a Gearbox if that's the case. We're missing something here.

    That 911 looks pretty good, but I don't see 300 Euro's of worth yet.

    I disagree. With all the publicity at this point, they would be sure to present the final product. Particularly with colors, if it's not here now, we won't see it come August.

    The BWE is pretty ugly, but it is impressive. I'm digging what I can see of the Volvo so far.

    This is great. This seems to show how sets that seems midsized 20 years ago, seem to be smaller now.

    Perfect. Thanks. I'll copy and past the code for the entry topic.

    Thanks for your kind words. I edited the video in the post as you stated, and it still seems to be the same. Any thoughts?
  16. Thirdwigg
    Everything is done, so I'll post when the topic is open. Until then, enjoy the .[media] [/media]

    Nice to finally have some news. All four models seem to have some interesting contributions. I look forward to confirmed details of all four.
  18. Thirdwigg
    Yeah, the front is a plow, and can be moved. I have been working to close the box. I'm not sure it's going to happen with the parts left.
  19. Thirdwigg
    The B model is about done. It's not perfect: building a B model with limited parts, has been a great challenge. I'll do one more edit to it, and then I'll work on the publishing materials later this weekend.
  20. Thirdwigg
    The tow truck turned out great.
  21. Thirdwigg
    I used the torsion setup for my Octan F1. I works great, and I support your use of it in this car. It's the perfect application.
  22. Thirdwigg
    Well done. Getting a good B model is difficult. This looks great.
  23. Thirdwigg
    That set was the inspiration. Which was inspired by the Unimog... probably.
  24. Thirdwigg
    @Pluto_MkII, the initial draft is a tractor like this with this on the rear. @ Ludo Visser, thanks. The belt, spreader, and blower are driven by the rear wheels. They are only disengaged when they are removed.

    @Alasdair Ryan, set 8049 was $50, and it came with three Pneumatics. If 42053 is at the 50 euro mark, the functions should be at the same level of 8049. @Aminnich, Interesting idea for the BWE. I could get behind this idea.
