I didn't want to create a new thread, so I'm just using this one as it is a similar topic: Is there a change log or anything to see, which are the new parts? Especially as a technic builder, I still miss many new parts (introduced mid 2019) like the Control+ elements or new tires.

Maybe better go with this part for the cabin?

.... no words....

Amazing! The look is great and the functions seems to work quite well :-)

Just amazing! I really would love to have this thing as an official build. The looks and the efficient built is just what lacks the 42108.

Apart from these pieces which don't exist Lego: Wouldn't it be hilarious this thing would actually copied by TLG and brought in as a new set? :D

Me too, I think it will be very similar to the 42024:

Maybe it's a contract TLC have to fullfill as we've seem Volvo's every two years since 2014? But I agree, with the 8264 (which wasn't licensed?), it really gets a bit repetitive. And as I just again had a look at the 42114 promo-pic on page 1, I really struggle to buy this, as even the B-Model of the 42030 looked better somehow...

Both have many similar heavy building equipment like dumper trucks, excavators, wheeled loaders... Liebherr just have been around last year, so 2020 is a volvo year again it seems :D

Very good point. I am a big fan of the Charger as in my opinion it is the best meanest muscle car of them all, I am not looking forward to this from a technical point of view. I think we can expect a fake V8 engine similar to the 42097, steering and openable bonnet, back and doors. This should be a creator expert set in my opinion, not technic.

@jorgeopesi Do you still work on your Broyt D1000? Would be nice to see this one :-)

@jorgeopesi The cabin has been the biggest problem? :D Jokes aside, really nice model! I really like your solution of the cabin with steering links, this just give the perfect shape without many parts. There are however two things I find strange: Is this 5 studs thick arm (and thus the 5x7 frame) really needed for stability? The other thing is just for the looks: There is a big hole in the backend floor next to the engine, maybe use some panels to cover this?

That’s precisely the model I had in mind. It’s slow and sways around a rather large amount. I am sided with @Bartybum on this on. This model really is beyond the limits of what Lego (or better say plastic bricks&pieces) can do. When it comes to technic, TLC really decides for more rigid and playable models instead of putting as many functions in but lacking stability. And if we really see it from their standpoint of selling sturdy models to children to play with but also look nice, they find a good balance in most big models in recent years (42043, 42054, 42055, 42078, 42082, 42100). Back to 42114: I hope this thing is not that slow, it should be at least as fast as the 42070, the steering angle is tight and the tipping doesn't take ages.

Why not buy the XLs on Bricklink? Or order them from Lego for 9,60€ each? :-)

If the functions are exactly the same (tipping, steering, driving), I don't see a problem here to not implement a B-Model.

Was just about to say that! :D Yep! Why a slightly more rusty look, this would be even better!

This one is important I think. Sometimes, you need to write a message or take a foto of a moc while using the App. Would be handy that you don't have to reconnect again afterwards. BTW: It is really great that you are collecting input :-)

Problem would be, that the rod and the piston would be 0.75L, therefor a new crankshaft would be needed... Why whopping? The tire from the 42056 Porsche is 10 studs in diameter, according to this picture of a stripped aventador, it seems perfectly fine to fit in a 14 studs engine.

That really helped, thanks :-) As I can see from your video, the acceleration and speed on mine is nearly identical. My MOC mostly struggles with tight corners as it seems to drive a little "bumpy" now and then. Maybe I'll try the new diff and see if it helps as the gearing is reduced a little bit. Just ordered from TLC

Thank you :-) Next model in plan is a grader... coming in a half year .... :D @jorgeopesi Can you weight your dumper? I am just curious... if I could start again, I would use two XLs for driving.

Thank you :-) Thanks! As I don't have that much time on my hand, I didn't thought about to make instructions, yet. I have the .io version of it though, I don't use LDD. Oh that never occured to me, thanks! :-D

Yep! I am curious about the scale, though. For 99€, it should be in between the 42093 and 42096. Even if it sounds a bit strange at first, maybe these could be used as the rear tires (from the new batmobile) while having smaller front tires (from Arocs).

Hi guys, yeah I know, I am late showing a MOC of a dumper truck, as both Effermann and jorgeopesi both did excellent jobs! I started with this MOC of the Liebherr T264 in july but couldn't keep up with their pace... In contrast to their more playable MOCs, I tried to stay closer to the design of the 42100 while maintaining all the main functions of the original dumper truck. The T264, as it is the little brother of the bigger T282/284, has been chosen because of the better suited scale of the 94.3x38R tires. The three main functions are driving, steering and tipping. All are controlled by Ozzees ControlZ, which works like a treat. The MOC is driven by a PU XL-motor, steering is done by an PU L-Motor. The two pneumatic pumps and the switch are both driven by one PU M-motor using the ingenius idea of Sariel for the compressor/valve combination. Overall I really tried to stay as close to the original look and functions as possible. The rear suspension is a live axle guided by a center pin and sprung by two hard shock absorber. The steering has an Ackermann geometry and a very narrow turning radius. I am not really satisfied with the placement of the steering rack in front of the wheels as the connections seem a bit too flimsy for this big model (1620 pieces, slightly over 2 kg). Although I tried different configurations, I couldn't find a better solution of the placement. Two hard shock absorbers on each wheel manage the weight very well and bouncy :-). The PU-hub is placed in the easily accesable front section. I added some more little technic features, as both cabin doors can be opened and the little ladder can be lowered. And finally, here with the reason why I build this MOC :-)

This suspension looks good, I like it :-) I can imagine it to be used for flatbad-trucks.where you need a small silhouette and ground clearance is not that of an issue.

Maybe that is the reason they had to make the cabin bigger just to fit in the hub?
