Bartybum Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 @Jim Surely you can just quote a post and then when you press save it merges them, no? Quote

Ngoc Nguyen Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) Is this string the same one in 42009? A search on bricklink say yes, but the strings I've got from 42009 only measures 29L from stud to stud. @M_longer Can you check the length of the string in your set? Thanks!

Yes, this discussion has officially just included the question of "How long is a piece of string?". Quote

JunkstyleGio Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 @M_longer excellent work on the LDD files Some quick renders. Quote
agrof Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 I am absolutely pumped to get this now! I do believe it is a very-very playful set. Thanks @M_longer for the LDD model! Quote

I do like the exhaust for steering, but like mentioned before; it's reversed. And it's directly attached to the rack. I'd rather have some gears in between to reduce and inverse the mechanism. Quote

It is possible to make the steering working in a proper way, but it requires removing those Technic triangles and reinforcing rear part of the frame with different parts, right behind the engine.

Exactly. That was more or less what I was thinking of. Quote

I've added few more parts to front mudguards too. Size comparision with Mack Anthem: Full review in polish:http://zbudujmy.to/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8811 And few words about the set itself: Well designed, playable, but two functions work only properly, but could better (steering works backwards) and forks could move higher than middle of the frame (for example, in last liftarm based forklift, 8416 the forks travels right to the top). Interesting color scheme (Dark Blue is still not so common in Technic sets). Great base for modiffications (like adding those double wheels, rebuilding the forks, changing steering etc.). Actually, with few tweaks it could be the best Technic forklift to date. Quote
1gor Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 @M_longer first of all thank you for your modification by adding two extra wheels. It looks much better ...and if I may continue you could open new topic 42079 mods and improvements. I can only add that I think 4 cylinder engine could fit inside. Color combination is great (IMHO) and this is what I think LEGO set should be - good base with possibilities to be perfected when needed Quote
