December 3, 2024Dec 3 We need a proper backhoe, a telehandler and a forklift that don't cost more than 250€ and have proper pneumatic/motor functions. We don't need more cars with barely any function, or 450€ cars with a gearbox that can't be seen. It's that easy. I don't get what they're doing.

It is very simple, they are making sets which masses are buying

I would agree. But a backhoe? I wouldn't want to tie the designers hands by limiting them to a price point, not for a proper, flagship of flagships, fully pneumatic JCB backhoe. Make is as big and as costly as it needs to be. The bucket wheel excavator had to be quite big t do what it does, and I think a properly good backhoe would be the same. While 8455 is a legend, it does miss out many functions of a JCB, such as an opening/closing front bucket, rear side shift, rear telescoping boom, pendular front axle and 4 wheel drive. A super powerful motorized compressor would also be very nice (one farty little motor pump ain't gonna cut it! It's functions need speed and POWAH to replicate the real thing) At a price of 250, I think they'd have to leave out too much potential.

You can already get a backhoe with all of those functions minus the boom in the scale of CLAAS tractor tires at the cost of around ~ 200$. There's no need for a motorized compressor, so the remaining 50$ can totally go to the rear digging arm. Therefore it's totally possible for TLG to produce a fully functional pneumatic backhoe at 250$. It's just that I'm not sure they would do it.

Except the digging arm and the outriggers it has everything that you may think of for a backhoe. It even has 3 steering modes. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-154575/nguyengiangoc/42157-b-model-backhoe-loader/#details

I'd like something like 8455, but they're too expensive used.

I can give you that info right now: just more cars Edited December 4, 2024Dec 4 by GoldVillage
December 4, 2024Dec 4 I’d pay out the nose for a proper RC backhoe. It doesn’t even have to be pneumatic. That, or a function loaded tow truck, are about the only technic models I’d be willing to pay more than $250-$300 USD for. I don’t care about the cars and motorcycles, except they do have some nice assortment of panels. From a technical perspective though, I find construction equipment more interesting.

December 5, 2024Dec 5 I am not really into construction machinery, but a 42070 remaster of sorts would be cool, with RC operated everything and actual suspension If I have parts and time to do it, I will, although I am more focused on buwizz camp next year and faster models.

December 7, 2024Dec 7 Leaks for 2025 summer sets are already flowing for the other themes. I guess Technic should be leaked soon too.
