Exactly ?

This set is really nice. Definitely my favorite set in the last few medium sets.

Maybe I missed, but what about the lifting height? And would my MOD to increase lifting heigh by making a longer (double) rope solution actually work?

(Or should I just sit back and wait for the reviews to be published on August 1st? Thats also fine with me)

 

To be honest; I forgot to measure the lifting height and now I have the B-model assembled

I have put a 16L link under and it fit perfectly ;)
I am going to build the B model in the evening too.

@Jim Would you review the B model as well?

That would make sense 

I will have some pictures of it, yes.

Look at instruction page 13 and see the magic going there:

Oh wow. So Technic. Such accuracy. Much quality assurance.

Very cleverly designed lifiting mechanism, which does not work like real thing, but I still like it. Full review will be posted tomorrow.
Also, one of the best looking B models in Technic line in past few years.

I have almost done mine thank you to M_Longer. First of all great look with a few pieces and second I would change some pieces but I don't know yet if it uses them for the B model so a very nice and playable set, must have if you can do it or if you need 4x2 L liftarns  .

Will build this as soon as I have time! Thanks for all the pics to M_Longer

This set is really cute with two nice models. A great first Technic set for my nephew. :)

What am I missing? I haven't built the B-model myself, so I have missed this mistake (?)

I am looking at my picture of the chassis and I am probably overlooking the mistake.

The mistake is that in the instruction two axle holes are connected at an acute angle, which is impossible  Axle holes are connected only at angles whose measures are multiple of 90 degree.

Ahhh yes. I see what you mean. That's weird.

The lifting height, looking at it now is not too unrealistic:

But the lack of double wheels on front is? ;)

But if you look at the schematic drawing, the front wheels stick out about a stud more than the rear ones:

Same probable reason the 42071 didn't have double wheels: the price of the set.

Yeah, I have 42071 and the wheels just look rickety without doubles.
