1L liftarm coming in yellow

Yes, it is known. Dump Truck, Submarine and Bush Plane contain them.

Technically, this yarn element is a Technic part too.

And Trans Bright Green tires.

Or Neon Yellow rims

These new transparent 1x1x2/3 dome elements will also be useful for lighting. They connect on studs.

These look incredible, I wonder if they'll look so bright in real life.

I'm here for the transparent tires! I just picked up the Creator roller skate for the pink tires too.

Maybe someone will find a nice way to illuminate the green tires too.

The old version with + hole also slides freely with no friction, it's never had any kind of grip as far as I know, by design.

Yes, however the newer mold is too loose to fit a bar in, which is useful with axle pins if you want 2 levers with a 1L gap between them but where they are independently movable, so I usually just always grab the older mold just incase.

This may have been mentioned but there's also a 1x1 round plate with a clip on the bottom coming out very soon.

I think this'll be of interest to some here: https://rebrickable.com/parts/7229/technic-beam-1-x-3-thick-with-center-axle-hole/

Axle hole in the MIDDLE of a liftarm?!

OMG YES we finally get this part!!!

In what sets will it appear?

Set inventories for the new sets will probably be up tomorrow, we'll know then.

WOOOW

Amazing!

Such a simple piece, but needed so often. Thanks Lego!

Okay, so far it looks like that part only appears in this Star Wars set: https://rebrickable.com/sets/75402-1/arc-170-starfighter/?inventory=1

I expect it'll show up in more sets eventually, though.

Here's a basic LDRAW mockup of the new 7229 liftarm 3L with centre axle hole

Wtf is it doing in some star wars set anyway, doesn't look like it's absolute necessary for the design to work?

Well, I guess they are making use of the new part as much as possible to get it in the market in more sets and we'll see later the set that it was designed for.

Anyway, no matter, this will become a very useful part.

Hmm, that new part seems useful, unfortunately not possible to sculpt from an existing part (something I do nowadays so I don't have to wait for new parts to be avaliable).

A totally unrelated question. My part finding skills are very poor, and I'm looking for a part if it exists at all. 1L spacer with a pinhole (like the 1L liftarm) but with a rim on one side. Like a small cup. For some reason I remember such part exists.
Or if it doesn't exist: the LOTR ring part is half stud thick, or plate thick?

I need these for a one unit diameter wedge belt wheel. The rubber band keeps wandering off from a simple 1L liftarm, and the only possible connection is a pin.

I think, this is closest LEGO PART 42610 Wheel 11 x 8 with Center Groove | Rebrickable - Build with LEGO

If you need really 1L diameter, then halfbush on axle, or some axle/pin part.

How about this

Thank you! That is it!
Though it's very old. I'll look for other solutions first.

That 3L liftarm with axle hole in the middle is very useful indeed!

Though often this can be used instead, but still I like a lot that they are bringing the liftarm out!

That would fall apart, because of the long slit ín the middle.

There are pearl gold Driving Ring Extensions 35186 in one of the Ninjago march releases.

@Lipko Just cut two 60483 through the middle of the axle hole and glue them together. That's exactly how I modeled this in Part Designer.
If you fear it will break when inserting an axle, leave one beam intact, drill the axle hole from the second out and glue them together like this:
