This is first one not based straightly on frame and functions of any older Technic set?

Well, studfull frame (brick/two plates/brick) connected in few places perpendicularly is the most rigid part you can make in Technic.

Go for it?

No problem, I have discovered that by accident :)

Those RC models. When I was a few years old kid my cousin had one of those. I was very jealous about it ;)

Oh. Wow.

Oh, they can. But first you will have to make them in Ldraw, then import to Stud.io. I have generated these pumps in MLCad (you have to open specific .dat file in the MLCad), then imported to Stud.io for making a rendered image: Ldraw file: https://bricksafe.com/files/M_longer/misc/pumps/6L pumps.ldr Stud.io file: https://bricksafe.com/files/M_longer/misc/pumps/6Lpumps.io The most intriguing thing about stud.io is that it does recognize and use subparts for making a pump etc, but they can't be accesed trough stud.io's menu on the left.

An alternate model for 42094 Tracked Loader. Inspired by real CAT M105 DEUCE dozer: Overall look: Comes with two manual functions, which are elevation of front blade and rear winch. Both functions are operated by gear on the back of the cab, and switched between with red lever located on the side. The winch has a ratchet that keeps the rope reel in place. Front blade's angle can be easilly adjusted. Here's how it works: Model comes with instructions, which can be bought at Sellfy and Rebrickable: https://sellfy.com/m1longer https://rebrickable.com/users/M_longer/mocs/ Few sample pages: Direct size comparison with A model: A test model, with more yellow panels: And a "family picture" with all of my C models I've made so far: This model uses 770 out of 827 parts provided in the set. Pictures: https://bricksafe.com/pages/M_longer/42094-dozer

Yes it is. Designed from single piece to the final model. I haven't heard any complaints about this model nor the instructions, so have fun ;)

I do ;)

Did you encountered problems with IR receivers losing signal from remote? They are burried quite deep in the cab. Does the front and rear axles have the same turning angles?

Interesting variation about Sariel's Defender: EDIT: I have browsed trough your sample instructions for the hood. If whole instructions resemble quality of that bit, you should release it for free. I'd never think about abour offering PDFs with such low quality.

We are trying to provide the best building experience as possible :) I can tell that whole model is extremely dense - there's almost no unused space, everything (5 motors and 3 IR receivers + battery box) is tigthly packed in average size model.

I'd like to inform that instructions are slowly taking shape:

An alternate model for 42095 Tracked Racer. It has the same performance as basic model and uses 100% parts from it. It's my first alternate model that used all parts provided within the set :) Video: Also, can be easilly (just two pins needed) disguised as 42099 ;) It can also pull some things, like Eric Trax's Krampe 550 trailer: Instructions can be bought at Sellfy and Rebrickable: https://sellfy.com/p/kkin2v/ https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-30314/M_longer/42095-tracked-tractor/

I have bought 42110 and started thinking about improving the set. I still have the 42069, which uses tracked chassis. I thought that it could be a great idea to have LR on the tracks too. I've built a quick sketch of tracked frame, with 4 pairs of oscilating road wheels. It fitted the wheel arches nicely, the steering worked quite well. But in overall, it did not work. Unfortunatelly, there's a lot of play in independent suspension and whole track module goes sideways, instead going straight. So simple change of wheel hubs to tracked bogies will not work. Those tracks need a solid axle to work properly, like in 42069. I am not sure if I want to rebuild half of the set for having tracks, I'd probably take it apart and make a C model in the next few months.

Very well shaped.

Interesting mix. Few bits from Anthem, few bits from my snow plow and rest from you. May I ask why there are still those 12 bevel gears left, they were used for driving the salt spreader, not present in a dump truck? :)

A direct size comparison between new Control+ elements and their Power Functions counterparts: The C+ Hub is 5 studs high, 9 studs wide and 9 studs long. L motors is 4 studs high, 3 studs wide and 8 studs long. XL motor is 5 studs high, 5 studs wide and 8 studs long. Basically C+ XL motor is a little bulkier L one, but with several more mounting points. Both are longer (1 to 2 studs) that their PF counterparts, while other dimensions remain unchanged. The Hub is much more larger than PF battery box. We get built-in remote controll via Bluetooth, but with cost of more space used in the model. The PF motors required an IR receiver to work with remote, but it could be placed in various places in the model, even far away from battery box, thanks to extension cables, which does appeared in the C+ line so far. Thanks to @Philo, who made all C+ elements for Ldraw :)

And in PF era you could just connect it to the battery box and check if it works :))

I wanted to have nicely chaped counterweight, that can be taken off as single piece. Now it will be a little more difficult :)

I am almost sure that I will buy 42110 + 42095 instead of 42100... C+ hub is large. Too large. I am struggling with rear part of the body, because it must be thin as possible, due to dimensions of the hub. I am trying to recreate a loader that has almost biggest rear on the market, and there's almost no space left. I think that with next model I will stay with PF range.

I can't wait to see how you will manage bending frame, loose wheels and weight distribution between counterweights and boom.
