Trawler Man Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 This is just wonderful. I'm still sore about missing out on 8258, but this seems to be a superior alternative in every way. Gonna be nice, building the Unimog again to display them together. Quote

Emmi Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) So where do you steer??? Somwhere behind the cabin I suppose??? With the orange lights??? Can you actually steer with the steering wheel inside the cabin this time > hand of god steering??? Edited January 29, 2015 by Emmi Quote

JunkstyleGio Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Wouldn't it be nice if we got a movie with all the functions fully demonstrated?

jantjeuh Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Tyres too small? Dunno. Looks ok to me. http://i.autotrader....1337cdfadba/600 Ah, good catch. You know, the original truck is simply ugly, TLG is not to blame here Quote
TechnicHead41 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Whats this ??!!! some kind of a new frame ? Or am i wrong ??? Quote
MrTekneex Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Also... 9. Possible brakes ? ...and maybe a sequential gearbox??? Edited January 29, 2015 by MrTekneex Quote
timtimgo87 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Whats this ??!!! some kind of a new frame ? Or am i wrong ??? That is the frame introduced in first half 2014. Quote
TechnicHead41 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) that's not it.. Look here.. And here.. Edit: It could be the dog bone, but i'am not sure.. Edited January 29, 2015 by TechnicHead41 Quote
nicjasno Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 It's part 14720 Technic, Liftarm 3 X 5 Perpendicular H-Shape Thick. I have several of them here. Quote
SNIPE Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Is that a thin 6L liftarm with pinholes on each end in yellow on the side of the crane boom? set ooks very technicAL! Quote
imajor Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 deleted, gonna wait and see, but the new turntable has to have either 64 or most likely 72 teeth. 60 simply makes no sense. "Et pourtant, elle tourne" Depends on the type of the gear. If it is bevel (and the images strongly suggest it is bevel) then it must be 60. Think of the regular 24t gear, the small turntable is basically the bevelled version of that (increasing diameter by 1/2), which means it has +4 teeth. In case of the new turntable that is 56+4=60, Quote

In case of the new turntable that is 56+4=60, Sorry but that sounds very non-sensical. Why would it being spur vs. bevel (double bevel) make a difference upon the number of teeth? The double bevel is there so that the gear can mesh either with a parallel OR perpendicular axis. You'd notice that, in the past, all lego gears were spur except for the weak crown gear. In recent years all newly introduced gears have a dual purpose and can mesh both parallel/perpendicular axes. Again, let's wait for the actual set to come out or, better yet, more/sharper pictures.

In recent years all newly introduced gears have a dual purpose and can mesh both parallel/perpendicular axes. Again, let's wait for the actual set to come out or, better yet, more/sharper pictures. There are two types of gear in technic, bevel and flat. Flat gears have an integral diameter (1,2,3,5,7 for the big turntable), bevel gears have a fractional diameter (3/2, 5/2, 7/2 for the small turnable, 9/2). The number of teeth is always the diameter multiplied by 8. The new turntable diameter will probably be 15/2, thus the number of teeth is 60. Quote
mirecg Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Did you notice how the tires are aslope even though the truck sits on a support? Quote
aol000xw Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I noticed that, I guess the wheels are connected by an axle instead of a three pin hub, and the sheer weight of the model is a bit too much. Quote
zux Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 This one seems to be attached to base, for static demonstration - you can see couple of attachments on the bottom. So tire could be under some pressure and is just positioned in such a way. Quote
nerdsforprez Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Very pleased with this one. I will definitely be buying it. Pneumatics - check (yea! not going out!) And it appears there is a little of division among the Technic clan of liking the front cabin vs. hating it. Sign me up to the loving it side Quote
davidmull Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Wouldn't it be nice if we got a movie with all the functions fully demonstrated? There is a chance for something like this emerging soon, because the Nurnberg Toy show is still on. Don't get your hopes up on a working steering wheel. I agree gio it would be nice to get a video of the model working properly. Let's just hope someone gets something good soon. Quote
