Thanks guys, bigger actuator it is.

Hey guys, I have a quick question related to the different size actuators. I'm not quite sure, but does the bigger actuator have more pewer than the smaller ones. Ik it sounds like a dumb question, but they both do the same thing, the one just has a longer actuator. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

If you have not noticed my looking forward to a lot of different mods for this set. I love the idea of an easy coupling system for all of the different attachments I have in mind. Personally I have never seen the crane boom ona front end loader before, but I like it. Once I gets one time, I'm hoping to make a side dump attachment. We will c how that works out.

All these look like great ideas, post more pics when you have more build.

Yu r going to need to use L motor(s). The m motor wnt have enough power and like black build said a servo would be better to use for steering. Sorry, but I think you will only be able to use the battery box and lights. Thats just my opinion

Hey guys, I got this set a couple days ago and built it in 4.5 hours. The build itself had its challenges and different building concepts (for me) and pretty many different pieces. I like those things but before I bought it a loved the size, what was included, and that it would be my first front end loader. But while I was building it therear part of the loader was very detailed and very well put together. But when u started building the front, it was like the designer kinda gave up. Not saying he did a bad job, I just think it could have been done better. I wish the front was as good looking as the rear, just saying. The functionality of the set is great. I'm looking forward to a mod for this, thanks

Rc cars. They go well with Lego technic power functions. It is like the same, but different.

I was amazed at all of the models that were made, but here are my favorites... 3 : 5 5 : 5 9 : 2 15 : 2 31 : 6

It is officially August 1st and Lego.com is out of stock.... And amazon.com is $100 more expensive.. :(

Im jealous, I need to order it soon...

All I saw on amazon are the prices you are talking about and if those are the ones old schooler is talking about then I can wait.

How much did u get it for on amazon, I'm planning on using up a lot of old gift cards for amazon of this set.

I think I will be getting this set. The price is a little high but for $112 worth of power functions alone, I think it is worth it.

Hey guys, I was looking on the Volvo construction equipment web site looking for mod ideas. I found a side dump attachment, where the bucket basically spins, do you think it would be a possibility to incorporate this into the loader? Just saw another loader using this, it looks like an actuator lifts the bucket, it doesn't spin.

Ik it works, you could still try it

I know that hot glue comes off if you freeze it. I'd try it

At least I'm south, haha

Thanks, I think that is an ok price for the pieces you are getting. Somewhere I saw $300.00 that thought that was crazy

Does anyone know what it is going to cost in the U.S.? I've seen €169.99 but you can't just convert it into us dollars.

I've been wanting to buy this set since I first saw it, but now their are a lot of "cons" to the set.... Price especially. What do you think I should do, buy it now or wait...

This would be the first thing I would try. The actuator won't do it's job if it is under a lot of force.

Hi guys, I building a landscaping "scene" and need some help with the truck. I'm a little rusty on my Lego brick building, lately I've been working with a lot of technics. So I basically need a pickup truck that has a hitch and if possible, four doors and a longer bed. I have already made a utitly trailer. So all I need is the truck. Thanks

Bravo, not only does your crawler look like an rc crawler, it also preforms just like one. I love it.

I'm not worried about it, it will work

Man your the best, thanks. I really think this is going to work for me. I'll even be able to make the motors look like gas tanks with set up, which was an original want. Thanks a lot
