Timorzelorzworz Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) I have been reading this topic for a while and want make some statement. I really like the medium azure color and are very happy to see it in a flagship model. The front grill in red looks ugly but can easily changed to DBG whish looks imho more better. The Controlling with 2 motors for the gearbox transmission seems unlogic to me, especially we only have 1 receiver and only 1 IR. I think this thing is solved quite genius and has only 1 servo and 1 XL-Motor. This forces the PF-parts down and makes this model no so expensive. The servo is mainly for steering and the XL for 6x6-drive. A manual lever on a gearbox control either steering-driving-mode or operation mode. In the operation mode, the servo is used to switch between a 4-way-gearbox like the paddle-shaft-system in the 42065 Porsche and the XL simple drive the selected function. In this case, it is only possible to manage one function and the gearbox can privode stabilisation, crane rotation, whinch and crane extension. This engineering makes it possible to have 6 powerfunction operations with only 2 motors (servo, XL). The manually switching is OK, because you only want drive or only want operate the crane, but not both at the same time Edited January 12, 2017 by Timorzelorzworz Quote

On another note, I seriously doubt 42070 will only have two motors. I suspect that PF2.0 (which was pretty much comfirmed) will be introduced to Technic in this set and maybe in the others of the wayve. I think that it could have bluetooth compatibility to compete with Sbrick, and maybe even WeDo sensor compatibility. Quote

mpj Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 So up to now there are no pneumatics in 2017 sets? Quote

Ngoc Nguyen Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Since the A model and B model are usually in the same theme, 42069 B model will be another adventure vehicle with 4 tracks, ad 42070 B model will be another 6x6 vehicle I can't think of any B model for the Fire Truck though. Any idea? Quote

Any idea? Try to recall the 8280 - Model A was a Truck and B a Pick-up with trailer and boat on it :) of course Fire_Boat :) Quote

Bartybum Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 I'd like to see a source that it was confirmed for 2017, not just confirmed in general Quote

BrickWild Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 So there's only one third-party licenced Technic set for 1h of this year? How thoughtful! I really hope LEGO gets everything right with their 2h sets! Quote

Kaanere Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) 11 hours ago, Timoonn said: Source? Source! (WeDo press release). In the end of the page says: Q: Why do you call the elements PF when the connectors are not compatible? A: We call them PF because it is linking up to the new platform. WeDo 2.0 is not compatible with the old WeDo. Although all future PF will be compatible with the new platform introduced with WeDo 2.0. So we know that there will eventually be an update to PF, at least to introduce new connectors. Next year will be the fortieth aniversary of Technic and the tenth of PF, a perfect time to update it. And why not add Bluetooth to integrate Smartphone control? I'm sure that many kids will love to play with that. Edited January 14, 2017 by Kaanere Quote
porsche911bestcarever Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 There are many differend kinds of firetrucks like tank vehicles with a water cannon, tecnical help vehicles with many stuff inside (which would be difficult to make because most things would be very small), or those with extendeble ledders. And there are special vehicles like airport firetrucks, firefightertanks (this is deffinitely sure that LEGO will not make them) and even trucks schooting the water using a jet engine to make fog. So there are a lot options for firetrucks. I hope PF 2.0 includes something like the buggy motors, the regular PF is really not the strongest and is it sure that the advcenture vehicle has tracks and is purpel-yellow? I would like to see a Baja Tropy truck as 42069. Quote

nick97 Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 my thoughts about the 42070 b model: I think it could be something forestry. And thinking about what possible is with six tractor tires, this is the first I would do. The last forestry b model was from 42029 in 2014 And if I'm right, the following models had also a forestry machine as b model: 8439, 8416, 8295, 8265 and 8069 Quote
J_C Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 B model does not have to use all 6 wheels. It can be anything. There is also chance there will not be any official B model (Porsche, Xerion, Unimog - no B models) (change in attachment is not real B model in my books). Nothing wrong with that, all I am saying is that it can be e.g. Wrangler kind of car, or nothing, no B model. Quote
nick97 Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 I know that it could be something totally different, maybe even without wheels It just seems most logic to me. Quote
porsche911bestcarever Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 I hope for a Forwader (a six or more wheeled machine used to transport trees) or a Harvester (It cuts the trees off and makes them ready for transport) as 42070 B model. They both have cranes and sometimes winches. Another option could be a 4 wheeled offroader with a front winch and a trailer to use the other two wheels. Quote

Forest harvester with 4 wheels could be B-model because forest equipment has similar tread pattern like tractors; forwarders with 6 wheels have 2 bigger (lets say model with 107mm tires at rear) and 4 smaller (at the front with 95mm if we want to maintain correct proportions). Offroad wehicles like Jeep usually do not have tires with tractor patterns but bigfoots have... Quote
