syclone Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Folks, check out Sariel's video right now! Was watching it at 1 AM...
Beard Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 That double PTO is great. Especially as it might have been difficult to mod that, since the chassis is cramped with the steering.
Siegfried Meyer Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Hope Jim's making good progress with his written review.... the anticipation :grin: I will just leave this here (thanks to Sariel's Video Speedbuild)
TechnicTobi Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 @Siegfried: Good grief! You only modelled that in LDD by watching the review video? Good work! Thumps up!
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Cool render! This only from watching a speed build video...well done...!
Siegfried Meyer Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Thanks Using Bluerender 1263 Bricks thus far (Crane & Chassis) less Moc up Hubs @ 16 parts, as they are not available in LDD yet
braker23 Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 To all Truck Trial addicts out there, check out this cool comparison video, the new tires rock!
nerdsforprez Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Perhaps we need to begin an "availability" thread for this set as well as there have been many questions regarding it. I just checked the Lego S@H in the US and it has not been updated. I know others have said to not worry but other sets that are coming out in AUG are there..... plus, even the new Disney Castle, that does not come out until SEPT, is there. So.... I am kinda becoming worried that we will not see the set (in the US) in the month of AUG. Anyone with further information? To all Truck Trial addicts out there, check out this cool comparison video, the new tires rock! Interesting video. My hypothesis confirmed! These tires work best in mud and sand. However, I still do not think they replace third party tires...... and on the secondary market will likely be just as expensive or more so. However, for purists, they are a great addition.
Siegfried Meyer Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Done with the LDD file if anyone is interested model is without attachments here
TechnicTobi Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) To all Truck Trial addicts out there, check out this cool comparison video, the new tires rock! Thank you for this interesting test, but I am not really convinced that the new tires are most suitable for mud and sand because the differences between the different tires are not so big. The reached distances can be more or less a random outcome. Did you perform any repetitions? But anyway, it will be interesting to see those tires in action! Edited July 20, 2016 by TechnicTobi
technic_addict Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Thank you for this interesting test, but I am not really convinced that the new tires are most suitable for mud and sand because the distances reached with the different tires are not so big. The reached distances can be more or less a random outcome. Did you perform any repetitions? But anyway, it will be interesting to see those tires in action! I believe the test is not great at showing the true differences because as the elastic string gets stretched out the amount of energy to move forward is not proportional to the distance traveled. A better test would have been to see performance up inclined surfaces.

A better test would have been to see performance up inclined surfaces. Good objection. One could also estimate how many weight can be pulled on the different surfaces. Then one should have proportionality...
schraubedrin Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 I believe the test is not great at showing [...] Furthermore several times it stopped moving - not because the wheels lost their grip, but because the motor stalled. Indeed an inclined hard surface (wood/concrete) would be good to judge the compound, an inclined soft surface (sand/mud) would be good to test the tire tread.
therealjustin Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 The real question is if/when can we buy them? Hopefully they are not part of the licensing deal
Lipko Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) Thank you for posting the LDD file! It seems that the steering works with the same small geometrical error, as my telehandler. It has a slight rear-wheel steering in normal mode too, and always in the same direction regardless the direction of the first axle. One thing is strange though: the rear cartridge that actuates rear steering and can set the steering mode seems to slide sideways (mode selection) with friction. BTW, in a Hungarias shop for a limited time and count, you could order it for 140 euros. Edited July 20, 2016 by Lipko

Pleasure But there shouldn't be any friction on the sliding bar, or am I missing something?
Lipko Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 There's a 3L thin lever attached to the 2x4 beam that's being slid by the hand operated lever. But maybe I'm missing something.
Siegfried Meyer Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) My error The 3l thin lever 3l Beam is a "spacer" that should be moved completely to the left, to allow the selector to line up with the catch at the back. Thanks for pointing that out Edited July 20, 2016 by Siegfried Meyer
nerdsforprez Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 It seems like I might be running solo in terms of concern whether or not it will be available 1 AUG in the US Anyways.... I called multiple stores here in the US and they all confirmed that they WILL have the set on 1 AUG. I am on a business trip in the St. Louis area..... I truly hope the only shop around me is true to their word and will have it when I make the trip.
vliet Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 I preordered the set and should be delivered between 27th and 30th
Siegfried Meyer Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 It seems like I might be running solo in terms of concern whether or not it will be available 1 AUG in the US I know I won't be getting it then, as our "supply" of Lego in South Africa is always a month or two later.... will be extremely lucky, if it arrives in Sept.
dimaks13 Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) And I would be already the owner of this set, if not-monobrand offline shops in Kyiv were getting the sets at the same time as monobrand... Edited July 20, 2016 by dimaks13
Cumulonimbus Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) Done with the LDD file if anyone is interested model is without attachments here Thank you very much for the LDD-file, I took the liberty of hiding the structure and highlighting the functions in different colours. I really like the clever mechanisms in this set: One thing confuses me though, the drive to the PTO's (in red) appears to be liked to the M-motor with two sets of gears, but each is geared in a different ratio (see image below). Although there is a clutch gear, this seems to be a stange construction or am I missing something? Edited July 20, 2016 by Cumulonimbus
