    Racebuggy from set 9398: Instructions.

    What is that technic changeover catch left from the steering wheel supposed to do? You can see it on the picture with the doors open. It's in a very weird position.

    I like the new short panels. Also the rims seems to have the pivot point more in the center ( but not 100% sure about this, need ot see better pictures ).

    What scale is the car? Same as 8070?

    Nice use of the concrete mixer parts in the heavy lift cargo.

    Love the gokart, nice color scheme! Does it have a red 4 long axle at steering wheel? I guess / hope that we will still get one or two bigger sets the first H1. Last years their was always one with Power Funcions in it.

    This one in black but it is not new. In fact it appeared in 2014. But as it was in only one set ( 70163 ) I think a lot of people ( including myself ) may have missed it.

    Great minds think alike!

    This looks like the new turntable to me.
  10. jovel
    It looks like the new turntable has no teeth at the inside. You can see that in the last video I think.

    Edit: In the circle there goes a 12z to the turntable. Also, at the rear, they use the grey springs for the suspension instead of the yellow ones.

    I actually think that it might be possible that it can steer: On the foto you can only be sure that the left axle is driven by the 12 - 20 bevel combo. You can't see ( at least I can't.... ) if that same 12 - 20 also drives the right track. I think / hope it only drives the left track and that there is at the back end a similar constronction for driving the right track. In the center there seems to be more then enought room for a driving ring construction to switch between forward-backward and turning. The motorisation would then be a bit similar to the 42009 mobile crane. In the superstructure there would be - I gues - two driving rings that control four functions: 1 - operating the boom 2 - moving the grapper up and down 3 - rotating the superstructure 4 - "activating" the tracks: so it goes through the turntable and there you can control another driving ring for switching between forward-backward and turning

    You can also use + . These things work with the same angles as angle-connectors and have been used in LBG in 2014 sets. In fact the combination of these can sit next to a beam and wil be able to place in any position. An angle connector wont fit all the time as the "pin-hole" part will hit the beam in some positions. Example: connectors good and bad fit by jovlem, on Flickr

    @Sariel Can you use the driving ring extension with the new 3 long driving rings?
  15. jovel
    Do you mean they are on one side and like these panels ( 5x2 ) and on the other one side like these panels ( 3x2 )?

    @Lipko Go ahead! I forgot to mention in my previous post - but I also think it is pretty clear - that if you want to use this system in the Tumbler, you gonna have to completely rebuild the whole front ( and also wil need to make some changes to the styling parts ).

    Congratulations for hitting your primary Kickstarter target! For stretch goals I would mainly focus on hardware. I am pretty sure things like a profile designer and chip tuning are amazing but these are software and can be upgraded after release ( after you made some money by selling some of them ). Upgrading hardware after launch is a bad thing you most likely do not want. For design, I would like to have some extra pin/cross holes on the sides to have some extra attach options ( this also irritates me with the PF reciever ). I dont know if it is already implented yet but support for mindstorms would also be very handy. I am not a Minstorms builder myself but I if you want to use more then four motors in a model you already need two mindstorms sets. So a solution with the Smartbrick will be far cheaper. WeDo support would also be nice.

    I love the overall shape of this model, but I think you placed the seats too much to the outside ( nine studs between them ). I think because of that the view for the driver is a little blocked by the style from the front window. For the rest this model is pretty much perfect ( as usual )!

    Why did you make that 20 tooth clutch gear non bevel? A bevel version would be far more usable ( at least for me ).
  21. jovel
    A 20 tooth ( thick ) clutch gear would be extremely useful.

    Does the Volvo have pendulair suspension?
  24. jovel
    The Volvo looks great! I can't figure out how the steering works, but in the bottom there is a Dogbone-beam. Also it looks like there is an axle going back upwards for the steering wheel in the cabin.

    Does anybody now if these parts fit correctly? If yes, the next parts could also fit: or or used with
