I can't find any information about the front axle, but I feel it would make sense for the real thing to have it sprung. Front axle has hydraulic suspension, rear axle: 0:14 Quote
Bartybum Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 @Gimmick yeah I figured the front would also be suspended Quote

I tend to agree, I just find it weird as there's no rationale for producing something so ugly. The simpler explanation really would be assembly error, rather than assuming a bad design no? Or is this just now standard AFOL opinion on Lego? Pretty much everything Lego produce is now hated here. Anyway, the 42030 B model had a much more sophisticated cab shape, with the correct backwards-sloping rake to the windshield. Quote
suffocation Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Looks a jolly sight better than anything I could ever come up with. Quote

I've been saying it and I'll say it again, aside from the weird proportions, the designer's done a fantastic job creating a model with clean aesthetics Quote

Theres a youtube video dedicated to the suspension, i posted it previously and someone else has also posted it since.. if you've not seen it, its worth a watch. There's some additional links between the back axles. Really hope they're replicated it.. Quote

Bartybum Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Ah yes, I remember that. I do hope they include the panhard rods, that'd be really nice. I really doubt we'll see sprung/hydro suspension since the A60H doesn't have it Quote

Just the windscreen rake is so weirdly wrong. Anyway, it's not causing the sky to fall imho, Lego is changeable. Just weird. Unrelated, did I miss the introduction of a new stronger universal joint somewhere? Or is there a stronger CV now? There'll be at least one carrying drivetrain through the center articulation joint. Standard universal won't last long, even if the hub reduction is high. Edited January 31, 2020 by andythenorth Quote

So a delibarate design choice in favor of playability IMHO. Quote

1gor Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 But it looks (on my mobile phone) that tires are smaller than Unimog tires or mudguards are a bit bigger than ones from Land Rover defender? Quote
1gor Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 On laptop it looks like Unimog tire, so ignore my previous post Quote
Timorzelorzworz Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 It's the fourth flagship with those tires, but the first one that uses six of them Quote

mpj Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Rims should be black with inner yellow sprockets, so the look could be improved (in real model the rims are much smaller compared to the tyre size) Quote

Timorzelorzworz Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 'cause it is Control+, there is no B-model for this set. We are lucky if 42112 and 42113 has one... Quote

It will be B-model when we konw the inventory because somebody will do it, with so many pieces I think it would be easy and more than one version. Quote
