42082 - Rough Terrain Crane

[suffocation]

I've always found the z24+z12 combo to produce a ton of friction. Have they produced a new z24 mould to overcome this issue? (Note that this doesn't happen with white clutch gears.)

@Ngoc Nguyen Can you keep an eye out for where the 58-ish white 1L liftarms go?

EDIT: Never mind, just remembered that they’re not your pics

I have just been given 7 weighted bricks (6x2x2) which might be useful with this set.

I have black and red ones... Only thing, they are old and scratched to hell.

I'm on the fence with this set.  There is no reason why a set this size couldn't have a three section boom or pendular axle.  The functions just seem pretty basic to me, although I do like the multi-directions gear boxes.  

Too bad about all the color vomit and extra dribble.  I don't really see a need for things like tool boxes and such on a technic model.  That just pads the part count and jacks the price up.  

The crane might be my only Technic set this year, but I dunno.  Maybe I'll hold off.

I feel the same to be honest. I want Technic sets to be about the machine itself and its functions, not the trinkets that come with it. If I wanted to role play with tools then I’d buy City sets instead.

Yeah if it didn't have the tool box I might actually be able to afford it. Color vomit, moot point, it's here to stay get used to it.

They go everywhere.

So it might indeed be a cost issue. Alternatively it could be to make them easier to distinguish. I hope not though because I don’t want to have millions of white pieces that are impossible to hide. I far preferred when they were DBG.

[Ngoc Nguyen]

Good 1L liftarms go to heaven. Bad 1L liftarms go everywhere.

[Jim]

White ones were used in the Bugatti too. Like orange 3L pins with bush.

[TeamThrifty]

there does seem to be new colour trends (orange 3l pins, white 1l...), but as i have hundreds of the more traditional colours, then it just offers me more choice. Just need to decide what orange means... like most people, red is the assembly points for modules or similar. grey and black for blending in... what does orange mean?! This is a deep metaphysical question. what is the meaning of orange. 42?

[Jim]

It must be 42   

For me red was indeed for special connecting points. But nowadays TLG simply uses a single color for all of them.

Edit: the Crane does have them in black too btw.

like the porsche 42056 for exemple.

Some of the red ones were used for the marriage ;-)

Yeah, exactly

Just found this video on Youtube:

This is the first set (to my knowledge) that has over 1000 (numbered) steps?!

BWE has 669, porsche has 856. Bugatti might have more though?

[Black_Belt_Titan]

The Bugatti has 970 steps

[TeamThrifty]

Porsche was lots of steps on bodywork, suspect chiron is the same, for me the Porsche build got dull when i'd finished the chassis - bwe was enjoyable right until the end. i'm hoping 42082 is like bwe with wheels!

[Dylan M]

Thus anyone knows how many pcs BWE is (w/o the Dumb truck and the ORE) 

i think 42082 is far more parts that 42055

Welcome to Eurobricks!! Nice to have you on board.

If you go about this way, you need to subtract the grey panels from the 42082 as well ;-)
But the dump truck will definitely have more parts than the grey panels.

The 42035 - Mining Truck set has 362 parts.

Yap! That's what I mean and also minus the ORE(56pcs)

I hope the 42082 is more intact in the real inside  

 

and tnx for your warm welcome

The building steps are created by each set's designer (at least, the first draft is), and some of them are ridiculously unnecessary.

How many of you saw a "step 1" that's only showing a lift arm? LOL.
