Technic 2020 Set Discussion
Zerobricks replied to dimaks13's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Using that diff and a 40 tooth gear would make the car go even faster. So...why did TLG decide to develope a new diff? -

So people can complaint that is not. And if it is, people will complain about that too. -

Of course it can. You could easily use a 40 tooth gear and the old linear diff in place of this: -

I have a feeling something massive is heading soon. 42099 relased with new hubs, which are overdimensioned for that low geared and light model. 42109 has a new preassembled diff, even though any old gear would be strong enough for such a simple, light car. These two new components are IMO pointing that there is a heavy, maybe AWD new set coming out soon. Why else would TLG develop expensive, much stronger components? I'm thinking we will see something like a new monster truck with even bigger (150+mm) wheels, or maybe an 8x8 truck with simillar finctions to the Arocs, but in a bigger scale (5000+ pcs). -

They need to hire more designers! Regarding the model, it looks like an updated 8460 with and extra axle and LA instead of pneumatics. Even outriggers seem to have a simillar mechanism. Nice use of the bewel 20 tooth gear to extend the boom. -

I know it may not look the ebst, but look at it from a different point. This is a very nice starter pack to start with PU. It's also the first time in many years if ever, we get a very simple model with drive and steering. I have a hunch we are also gonna get a new differential casing, one that's can be meshed parallel and perpendicular. -
Not sure if this is a correct place, so apologies in advance. As a Youtube creator who builds and uploads MOCs made from Lego Technic, how can I decide if my videos are targeting kids? I'm a bit perplexed, since technically looking, yes kids do watch my videos, but my models are not targeting them, since they are gerneally not simple lego set reviews, but a few steps above that. In my interpetation, if I made a video like 42100 review, it would be marketed for kids, even though 42100 is 16+, I'm stil reviewing a toy. But if I build a custom, complicated model from Lego pieces, and make a video which is clearly made for more mature audiences, is it sill targetting kids? Also, I noticed the YT's own algorithm tagged most of my vidoes containing LEGO in the headline as for kids... What is your opinion, fellow members? The way things are going with YouTube and politics lately I'm thinking of just leavening it...

Tiger 6x6
Zerobricks replied to Zerobricks's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I spend the afternoon finishing up the LDD file which you can download here: https://bricksafe.com/files/Zblj/tiger-6x6/tiger 6x6.lxf Notice, there are few parts missing: 2x Front wheel from Land rover defender 1x Blue 20 tooth clucth gear to drive the steering wheel The LDD model is grouped in various submodules to ease building. Having said this is a very complex and interconnected build, so it's not for the fainthearted. -
What I would suggest is to replicate the gearbox in LDD or such program and color all the gears in different colors to help visualize how the power is transfered.

Yeah with 1000 pieces it's going to be a small, manual model, maybe just 6 wheels scaled smillary to 8460. Probably a single stage boom, simple outriggers, maybe a fake engine driven by a central axle and if we are lucky a single large LA to lift boom.
