howitzer Posted May 2 Posted May 2 I haven't been buying much Technic in the recent couple of years but this thing I surely must get. Waiting for reviews but at the moment it feels like Technic at its best. Quote
Saruzeufel Posted May 2 Posted May 2 This set seems nicely packed with functions. To me the proportions look a bit off though compared to the real machine. Not sure it's just the angle from the pictures, but especially the cab looks a bit squished Quote

What a good parts pack! Quote
Timorzelorzworz Posted May 3 Posted May 3 This little cute loader fits the scale for the 42203 Tipper Truck from March. It should be possible that the Volvo loads the Truck with ease. Remembering that Kids are the main audience here, this 42209 Volvo together with the 42203 Tipper together with the last years 42175 Volvo creates a very nice construction play theme. I like it that TLG finally brings sets that match together in playability and scale. Quote
R0Sch Posted May 3 Posted May 3 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: Quote

Auroralampinen Posted May 3 Posted May 3 That drive shaft is really really genius and impressive. The usage of clutch for extension, is soo clever and brilliant. Im now really impressed:). Quote
Zerobricks Posted May 3 Posted May 3 (edited) Trully what Technic is all about. Interesting engine design with 3 spinning cylinders, any idea what it's suppose to represent? Well done, @R0Sch! Edited May 3 by Zerobricks Quote
Timorzelorzworz Posted May 3 Posted May 3 Amazing! Can't wait to see the first pictures with this beauty carried by the 42175 Volvo FMX Trailer. Quote

Say no more! ;) 5 minutes ago, Oh_Hi_Mao said: R0Sch, is it something you could do? Could the fit be checked in studio? Please :) 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. Quote
Timewhatistime Posted May 3 Posted May 3 This gives new hope that Technic might find its way back to cool functions driven by maaany gears. Very well done, very impressive @R0Sch! The usage of the clutch is something we have seen many times whenever to axles are routed through one turntable. But I think we never saw a 8t gear meshing with a 28t gear in an official set, did we?

jorgeopesi Posted May 3 Posted May 3 Wow it is better than I thought, Technic always do its best with wheel loaders. Quote
Auroralampinen Posted May 3 Posted May 3 Its, really cute, that this uses same tire pattern as the 42030. So they can work as a family. Im really happy that lego didn't choose the audi tires, because this would look out of place with those audi tires, when you display this with 42030:). Quote
R0Sch Posted May 3 Posted May 3 (edited) @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. Edited May 3 by R0Sch Quote
Timorzelorzworz Posted May 3 Posted May 3 @R0Sch Thank you for your hard work! It looks like an instant buy only for this combination. I wonder why TLG don't want to promote these two sets together with images. Quote

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. Quote

Bartybum Posted May 4 Posted May 4 If it really does have such a complex gear train then I am stunned, I might actually buy this for once! Quote
