I wonder why these hemisphere pieces were not created/used for the Technic sets like Planet model too? No ugly pins sticking out. The only thing they lack is a central axle connection.

Btw, there are two 9x3x2 arched mudguards in lbg that appeared in the UCS Slave 1 recently:

Yey! More single use, specialized pieces instead of making use of existing pieces, or if not possible not doing it at all in LEGO form. And instead of building it fully articulated out of Technic pieces like a real desk lamp, with springs and all, it's just a simplified brickbuilt version. Not including an LED/light brick is just dumb.

Yes, 4L links are used. I added them now too.

90% done. I'm still struggling with the exact suspension and steering design.

Right behind the panel is a beam holding the tiles.

Btw, this set also introduces 1x9 flip-flop beam in red (used on doors).

Happy to help! And thanks to @Ngoc Nguyen to share the model of 42175 with me. That MOC is pretty darn good for an in scale bulldozer.

Only Education deserves rechargeable batteries... Can't have something as high tech as this in a 400€ Technic set in 2025! Oh and if you don't have arachnophobia, here's something hideous:

Same reason they never showed the Car Transporter with different 17 wide cars and marketing doesn't know these are compatible toys. Even the Volvo license is the same, but they probably didn't put 1+1 together. 42175 will go EOL only end of 2026 so plenty of time.

Excellent work! Even without the pneumatics a function rich model.

@Timorzelorzworz @Oh_Hi_Mao I am now able to provide "professional" renderings of the front loader on the flatbed truck. This combo really looks astonishing! There is even room for the battery unit behind it, if you need to power this baby up on the fly.

I made mock-ups of the new parts. If you need them PM me.

But it needs the charger for juice because it's electric. :P

Say no more! ;) I could if I had the full digital model of 42175. I only got to build the truck last year. Hope the pic helps though.

About 95% done. I think it has an oscillating rear suspension as well, even though it's not depicted on the box Here's a cool cut-out to show you how ingenious the 4 main functions are geared:

Some new Technic parts from January wave got added to PaB. https://www.lego.com/en-de/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick?icmp=PAB_Technic&sort=created_at-desc&perPage=400&system=TECHNIC

About 75% done. Current gear count 50!

No, it was already used in the Bush Plane in white. I think it's 16 studs wide, but can't say for certain. The 360° animations stops right where you could see the bucket face on.

Yes it's 15 studs wide so perfect fit for the trailer. Progress is painfully slow on the build. But I'm already loving this set. Dozens of gears and nice functions in such a compact model.

While the distribution gearbox is something us fans have been crying for for decades, the fact that this costs 400€ and is not fully remote controlled too is outrageous! Even the heavily criticized Liebherr crane is a better deal if you count the number of electronic components and piece count... Smart people would just buy 8043 second hand instead.

Printed? You mean stickered... Even the tiny Lamborghini logo in the front :(

@Ngoc Nguyen If it helps, I could send you a mockup of a downscaled 2491 tire to 55.9x22. It's pretty easy to do in part designer yourself by changing the size to 7x2.75x7 studs.
