That's a bit illogical, it would ve better called #2,5

How would you have space to deboss the number into the plastic, also the dot would be hard to see.

I hope TLG made 108 degree connector soon.

Very cool video. Around minute 3:50 the video confirms the new angled connector to be the number 7

I was just about to post that too. Nice find and glad it's lucky number seven. Now we just need to find out the exact angle. My bet is still 165°.

Could it be the rational version of 87745 (which I don't own)?

[Ngoc Nguyen]

If the rear driving ring doesn't snap, supposedly it and the gear catch can slide freely, so how is it supposed to be keep in the locked position?

[NV Lego technic]

Exactly, this has been bothering me too. @Divitis they'd have to Introduce an inverted version, and why make a new part that would probably take up space and look weird in the interior, plus if you look closely you see that it has '7' written on it, and has the same texture as other connectors.

I was thinking about the angle. I don't own the one with the fin, but it looks comparable to the new one from the images

[NV Lego technic]

It does not look like it has a defined angle. It looks more like a curve.

[SNIPE]

I have the fins in black, they are around the same angle as the new #7 connector amd can be made into a ring.

The rear diff lock has a white 3L axle joiner, so I belive it can snap in place  using a 3L clutch ring

Bricksafe maybe?

Even if we should download the video first to be able to watch it, as Bricksafe doesn`t allow video previews, still better than nothing.

That is common situation when something is hosted on servers outside EU and didn't allow viewing gyom EU, host provider doesn't go along with Euro regulatives... another possibility is late cloud problems...

So it could be lots of things...

Said video is unavailable for me in Norway as well, non-EU.

Then it is probably based on authors sharing options...let's stay optimistic...

Probably, you all can’t watch the toys video because it was initially banned for Russia. Usually we use VPN services from other countries, but not this time - the sanctions should work! ))

Ah, so they're just being thorough and banning it everywhere, just in case! Makes sense
