Fieldtest

Hello lego enthusiasts alike. I've been working on my lego techniques over the past month and decided to build a 4 door saloon. Its no particular motor vehicle manufacturer but just something to get me going into brick building. I still cant seem to upload pics so I will just add a link somewhere here to my flickr page. I would rather upload pics right here which I still plan to do once I figure it out. I have a samsung note 8 and have tried in the past to upload and it's an issue for some reason.. Here is a link, let me know what you think as it's still in progress and welcome suggestions. Cheers. https://www.flickr.com/photos/90937828@N06/

Hi I appreciate your detailed comments here. Very useful and informative. I will apply this to my moc.

Before I start I have tried image upload and have never succeeded in many years. I have searched some images from lego catalogs to try and figure out where I'm going wrong here. I have inserted hinge 19954 into my moc and the door does not close or open properly. I understand there should be a small gap but I have seen many mocs built with no gaps. Is there a solution to open and close with no friction and/or maybe an appropriate link ? The only way the hinge has worked for me for a door to close and open properly is from the Volkswagen 10220 but it has a 1 brick gap. I am trying to install the hinge seamless with no gaps.. Thank you.

Picked up a used 42100 yesterday for $400 CD. Already built. We disassembled it and going to rebuild it with much more bricks. I find this huge set has far to many beams. We will attempt to completely modify it using bricks and plates etc... and much much less beams.. perhaps efferman ?? Will come up with somethinv. I purchased your instructions on the liebherr and it was amazing..

It is steep but it keeps with TLG price point. I will only purchase the parts I dont have ie.. new power functions, hubs, linear actuators etc.. I have all the bricks. Will be a fun build.. I hope they include a B model of a bull dozer..

How do you know it's not? Do you know what is ?

Yes correction, 3L pins are orange here as well.

From where I'm sitting, image no4 the 2 bushings are orange and the technic pins with hole are yellow. If you say the pins are orange then what color are the 2 bushings in image #4 ? Theres a distinct difference in color.

Now that's some interesting revealing close ups. Looks like the turntable is in unison with the large gear track.. thanks for the link.

Oh ok. I work in this industry using a 390f and 973k and the sprocket fluid level here are checked and filled right at the sprocket. There is also a hydraulic tank for expansion, contraction and fill.

Typically the hydraulic pumps are external with hoses going from the pumps to the cylinders, turntable, drive sprockets etc.. unless liebherr states in there technical manuals that the pumps are internal..

The hydraulics run the tracks and cylinders through hydraulic pumps. This is most common in heavy equipment.

Yes I agree. The rear sprockets are exposed to check and fill the hydraulic fluid. The front is equipped with a large roller and doesnt need any maintenance other than when it wears out and needs replacing but not very often.

I'm hoping for the PR776 as well, that would be just brilliant. Another hoe with the reversed bucket IMHO is not really pushing TLG design team is it.. In any case I'm looking forward to obtaining the instructions and purchasing the new control system- as I already have large investments in technic pieces and bricks..

Approx $520 USD, and $700 for me in Canada..
