Do you mean the planetary reduction hub?

No, I mean the black element used on the outside of the wheel.

To me looks like this https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4185#T=C&C=11 or this https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2958#T=C

No, neither of those match up. It looks like a saw blade crossed with a round 2x2 plate - the underside of the plate faces outward.

Hm, on published photos (ok they are blurry) it looks like one fo those...but you are right - it is on rear wheel; front looks like https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=41530&idColor=4#T=C&C=4 (only black) with this https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4032#T=C&C=11 ?

Or something like that (instead of vent)?

EDIT: actually it has 6 spikes...and 2 x 2 studs round space to fit 2 x 2 plate round inside

Has anyone been able to identify the element on the front wheel hub?

I'm talking about the Zetros, by the way.

Looks like TLG use 35442 splat gear 6t black for front wheel cover.

And I can found some 2x3 panel extender in DBG.

And without that and new tire, I can't find any new interstring parts.

 

[1gor]

@msk6003 I think that is the part indeed 

Thanks

[Maaboo the Witch]

Yeah, that looks like it. Interesting!

[1gor]

Perhaps someone mentioned already, but here you can see that Zetros has 81 x 35mm tire

You can also see that it has This at the edge of the roof of the cab in DBG

Yes

If you check the UI of the app you can see a small switch slider suggesting a gearbox or a diff lock. Also the steering motor seems to be directly attached at the front of the front axle.

As unlikely as it is, the set really needs both to be worth the price

With a use of two or three wave selectors you could switch gears and lock the central and rear diff - all at once very easily. Also from the shape of the slider there seem to be only 2 positions, so no more than 2 gears.

It looks like this piece to me.

I am not sure, but I can see 4 studs, though the image definitely does not give the best angle for working out what it is.

[syclone]

It looks like this system gear to me, with a round 2x2 plate on top. 

P.S. as mentioned by msk6003 a few posts earlier it seems! 

Edited June 21, 2021 by syclone

[howitzer]

Yeah, what syclone and msk6003 said. It's the black splat gear.

[992bricks]

Hmm, I spy this in DBG on the windscreen. Which I think is a new colour.

My only wish for this set is to introduce this part, along with its mirrored counterpart, in DBG after the cancelled introduction last year in the Osprey

Has anyone else noticed that the front axle is quite a bit lower than the rear one? It's most visible on the wireframe image, but the side-on view shows it as well. It looks like a dog with worms dragging its bum across the carpet.

I think they have the same height

@Maaboo35 look again, it's quite level.

You can see the actual body tilting backwards. It's subtle, but once I noticed it I couldn't unsee it.

Mmmm no you really can’t. The rear skirt is level along its entire length. I get you don’t like the set - I have my problems too - but you’re clearly just looking for things to be upset by.

Or the model just buckles slightly in the middle, similar to 42070. There are a hub and one or two motors in there.
