PF XL motor is almost twice as powerfull as C+ one.

Ladies and Gents, let's face it: In next few years CaDa motors and steering will become only way to build MOCs made trough PF era. Power Functions motors will be retired soon, and C+ motors are not a replacement for them, because they are bulkier and weaker. Of course buying used parts will be still possible, but I think that having 2 motors in price of one will be tempting. Thoughts?

Thank you, I'm doing my best :)

It would require rebuilding of the main frame, because most of moving parts are connected to XL and L motors side holes.

Yes:

42114 Wheel Dozer WIP Another alternate model in the making. Fully compatible with Control+ 42114 profile, with 3 drive gears + blade movement (in place of bed elevation). Working fake R6 engine and two working fans behind the cab. Loosely inspired by CAT Wheel Dozers (834K mostly). It is still a work in progress model, so some things will be changed, maybe stickers and rear wheel arches will be taken off, because it is definitelly not a Volvo

I have been playing with 42114 and its "gorgeous app" trough our exhibition last weekend and OH MY GOD why this thing needs up to 3 minutes to calibrate? And why using Buwizz app for the steering and driving is far way smoother and easier than LEGO C+ app? If Buwizz app would support centering the servo motor, I'd never use C+ app again.

Not quite :) Also, comparison with our first 42100 alternate, the Skid Steer Loader:

Usage of black 40t gears will be pricey :)

I'd love to see 3D model made in Stud.io ;)

Well, here? :) https://sellfy.com/m1longer/p/whlbvy/

It looks unfinished, yet it got instructions already. Not a way to go my friend.

First of all, two z8 gears without support on both sides, need to be reinfiorced to work properly. Second, get rid of them, because it is you weakest point.

Zawsze mogłeś spytać na polskich forach/grupach na FB ;) (you could also ask on polish LUG forums/FB groups).

Because more and more people will buy 42099/42109/42100 and they will only have new C+ range of components. So MOCs with instructions should have them too ;)

Yay, precision for powering driveshaft in a 3kg model is what I always wanted ;)

Control + HUB and motors available. Time to sell your kidney. Really. I am really, really angry about pricing of new C+ elements at LEGO.com. Picture show prices in €, but here are some other currencies: 88012 Technic Hub | 1 piece US $89.99 | CAN $119.99 | UK £74.99 88014 Technic XL Motor | 1 piece US $39.99 | CAN $49.99 | UK £29.99 88013 Technic Large Motor | 1 piece US $39.99 | CAN $49.99 | UK £29.99 Two C+ motors are worth more than entire 42095 set these days. Even HUB alone is worth more! 42109, which use single HUB, single L and single XL motors has 129.99€ MSRP price. Those electric parts bought alone are worth more! Older PF elements are much more cheaper. Hey, PF XL is three times cheaper than its C+ counterpart! Even PF servo motor, the most expensive PF motor to date is 10€ cheaper than C+ motors. What the heck?

Not a mod, but complete rebuild. A tracked backhoe: Thoughts?

You are using Stud.io - select tires on your model and change their colour to "Rubber Black".

Change tire colour to "rubber black" :)

B one, this set is one of those with no official alternate one :(

An alternate model for 42108 Mobile Crane: Inspired by DAF CF trucks: But first, what is a roll-off? Roll-off truck at first glance looks like a hook loader or dump truck. The difference is how the whole loading/unloading of container works: the roll-off truck raises its hydraulically operated bed, the roll-off container rolls off the bed. A cable is used to slowly lower the container. After the waste container is loaded, the roll-off truck pulls the filled container onto the roll-off truck with the cable and winch system. Comes with three manual functions, which are HoG steering, bed elevation and winch. Model usues almost all parts from the set, which allowed to make detailed interior and exterior, with working steering wheel, openable doors, dashboard, air filter on the roof etc: Let’s start with the container: It almost does not have any gaps, so it can hold almost anything, starting from 1×1 plates, up to large chunks of “scrap” (here made from remaining parts): Rear door of the container can be locked: Underside of the container have added self-guiding rails, making loading of the container easier, if it’s not perfeclty aligned. Presented here by Rudolf: This model can work as a regular dump truck: Or as a roll-off system truck: Both functions are operated by knobs located on either sides of the frame. Basically, whole middle section of the chassis is built around the XL actuator. Here’s the video showing how it works: Model comes with instructions, available at Sellfy and Rebrickable: https://sellfy.com/p/7elaug/ https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-41384/M_longer/42108-roll-off-truck/?inventory=1 Here are few sample pages: Few comparison shots with test model (yellow door on the container looks better, don’t you think?) Available in European and Australian specification: And with my MAN TGS: More pictures can be found here: https://bricksafe.com/pages/M_longer/42108-alt/roll-off This model could be also built (after few colour swaps) in Red:

No, they are not, Yellow panels used in cab for example.

How many percent of the model uses non-lego elements?
