I haven't seen it, but I would guess something similar to turntables or wheel hubs... which would mean the red gear is useless for anything else but the diff... Quote

Perhaps it could be used similar as 20 or 16 tooth gear with clutch only without driving ring; just my guess... Quote

I'm pretty sure that's the case and that it will also be used in the gearbox of the upcoming supercar - probably as a reverse gear or such. Edited December 12, 2019 by Zerobricks Quote

Does the housing have pins that snap into pinholes in the gear? If I remember correctly, there are 3 clips on the housing that snap into the gear. What I don't know is if the gear can easily be removed or not. 8 hours ago, I_Igor said: Perhaps it could be used similar as 20 or 16 tooth gear with clutch only without driving ring; just my guess... I could be wrong, but from the brief bit that I had seen, it didn't appear that this gear had any clutch capabilities like the 20 and 16 tooth gears have. At least one side of it doesn't. Quote

I was thinking without clutch capabilities...only to spin on axle but without possibility to be "locked" with driving ring Regards Edited December 12, 2019 by I_Igor Quote
HorcikDesigns Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 At first sight I was hoping for the clutch gear-style type of connection, but then I realized, that every clutch gear is loose on the driving ring. I do not want backlash on diff, so I hope for better differential-specific solution, however new clutch gear would be also good addition.. Quote

Permo Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 I'll just buy the diff when it shows up in the store... Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 Who would have thought this set contains TWO 7x11 white frames Quote

Why in white tho? I bet they arn't visible at all, so black would have been better. But eh. Quote

That is what crossed my mind; at the first it looked like there are light bluish gray frames and now I see they are black...they are visible from bottom and front is visible if you open front hood...

mahjqa Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) So, diff is 2 parts, a gear and a housing. Also, there's 5 tan 12z gears in the set, I bet they all go inside the diff. It's got 120 degrees rotational symmetry, so that would fit just right. Edited December 17, 2019 by mahjqa I spel gud Quote
Cardboy Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 looking at the new dif do we think that the wide end on the right engages the new 28 gea? (as that has a different moulding to the current idle gears) and the left hand can accept the current gears? Be nice to see it in more detail. Quote
Zerobricks Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) The new red gear seems to have the axle hole only half the width, which would make sense, since it has to accomodate the 12 tooth gear. I'm afraid it can't be engaged and used in gearboxes... Edited December 17, 2019 by Zerobricks Quote
mahjqa Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 On the other hand, the LBG gear housing does look like it would accept a clutch. Quote

Ngoc Nguyen Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 That video doesnt have parts review, speed build, or at least examination of the new diff. What a disappointment... Quote
Zerobricks Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 Lol, it seems to crawl up a higer grade than 42099... Quote
Meatman Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) What keeps the rear axles from pulling out? Just friction? Probably bushings on them between liftarms. Edited December 17, 2019 by Meatman Quote
mahjqa Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 Called it; 5 12z gears inside the diff. Sadly, Lego's own Control+ app doesn't seem to be available for this model just yet. Quote
