I am even more surprised by your response!

I'm surprised that nobody mentioned this video: Does this tip solve the problem for those who have a stubborn gearbox?

After closer inspection of the "Pimp up my Porsche" instructions, it appears that this MOD is totally incompatible with this version. I was misled by the post from jb70 quoted above, saying the opposite. But obviously, the images posted by DayWalker have nothing to do with the "Pimp up my Porsche" instructions: second picture third picture That's very confusing… I am not a MOCer, and my pleasure with Lego is to follow the instructions to build great models designed by others. So, unless someone brings clarifications on this reverse gear blocker, I think I will drop this system.

@Aventador2004 : now I understand. Thank you !

Hello, I plan to build the "pimp up my Porsche" version. Before ordering the required parts, I would like to add some parts for the reverse gear blocker designed by DayWalker. Unfortunately, I fail to understand which parts are used to build this improvement. I'm unable to reproduce this with my spare parts. Could someone tell me which parts are used to build this system?

Not a review, but a very nice speed build: And TechnicBricks review:

Thank you very much Gabi_BC for your explanations, because they help me to understand how this strange thing works. (And welcome to Eurobricks! ). I have some questions about the secondary machine. If I understand correctly, this is is nothing more than a mobile conveyor belt. Why this secondary machine is present in some cases, and not in other cases? Also, the Lego set suggests that after the discharge conveyor, the coal falls directly into the truck. Is it a realistic functioning?

Hey! What's this thing? Nice Bucket! Let me inspect the tracks… This thing seems rather inoffensive. I like it! Thank you so much for this bucket LennyRhys!

Welcome to Eurobricks.

Bienvenue sur Eurobricks !

Bienvenue sur Eurobricks! I'm not an adult myself, and I have no children that could justify my Lego hobby.

I'm frequently reading this forum, but generally I prefer to remain in silent mode. Today I've decided to write a short introduction. My name is Jean-Charles, and I'm 47. Without surprise, when I was young I played a lot with Lego. It was the epoch of the very first Technic models, and I had the tractor #851, which I liked very much. A few years ago, I had the curiosity to search on the web what were the current Lego models, and it was a great surprise for me to discover all these modern technic sets. Some of them were so beautiful! I left my dark ages with the front loader 8265, which impressed me a lot. Since then, each year I buy one or two models, mainly the flagship Technic sets, and sometimes other themes too (Creator or Star Wars), if I like them. It's always a great pleasure to build and admire these sets.

I've found this video of the 42042. It's not a review, but a very nice "speed build":

Here is my choice for the Boss Crawler: RC4WD Tomahawk 1.9" http://www.ebay.fr/i...e-/110954128084 104 mm diameter 36 mm width With a little care, the tires fit perfectly the Lego rims. The reinforcements in the new rims cause no problem at all. I like the look and scale of these tires on the crawler. Of course, they perform much better than the original Lego tires.
