Nazgarot Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 4L diff likely spotted :o In the pack of parts : (we see the 24t side) On the model : Nice work. I hadn't noticed. But that has to an old one. Just wondering if it has 1 or 2 planet gears. I've seen some with 2 planet gears, but I don't know if they are modified or official Lego. If they are official I really hop this is it. Quote
merman Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 Why are those yellow Beams sticking out on top? Quote
dhc6twinotter Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Does anybody know who designed this set? Was it the same designer that designed 8043? Quote
JunkstyleGio Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Usually the clues of who the designer is can be found on the stickersheets. This set, being an officially licensed model, hasn't got any clues... (or at least I haven't discovered them yet) Maybe this set was a joint effort.. Quote

JunkstyleGio Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) A/s is a kind of Company abbreviation like Ltd (English), AG(German) or SA (French)or NV (Dutch). And i guess the guy with the grey scarf is a member of "Comunicade 0937" (The Portuguese LUG)..... Edited June 14, 2011 by JunkstyleGio Quote
AndroTech Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 I was looking closer to the front portal axle, and I cant figure out, what this part seems to be? Does anybody have any clue? Quote
JunkstyleGio Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 @ Provatnik: I guess it is just a reflection of the gear (red arrow) on the black part (blue arrow). So just a camera glitch.... Quote

BrickWild Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 That picture, which I attached, is interessting: They mounted the crane at the front of the Unimog. Very nice, that this is possible. Obvioulsy the attachment-points are the same on both ends of the Mog. BTW: for those, who are "disappointed" about the new portal-axle-part and its one-time-usability. There are two 4WD-cars in the Technic-Lego history: 8880 and 8466. Both cars have special parts for their 4WD: 2999, 6540 and 873c01. For the 8880 the hubs even need special rims to use them. So IMHO it is more than OK, that Lego developed a new part for this special need. Regards, Gerhard The Winch can also be mounted on the rear too! Quote
parda Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Anybody noticed that the brickself folder is down!? At least comunidade 0937 flickr photostream is ok... Quote
Sokratesz Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 What's the most recent prediction for a price tag? Quote
AndroTech Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 I still think the Lego S@H price will be 189,99 EUR. Quote
bord4kop Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) In the Netherlands the lowest prices are still €161,50 to 164,50 (maybe one or two euro 's less) Pre-order though Edited June 14, 2011 by bord4kop Quote
legolijntje Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Anybody noticed that the brickself folder is down!? At least comunidade 0937 flickr photostream is ok... Whole Brickshelf is down. Almost the whole day.... In the Netherlands the lowest prices are still €161,50 to 164,50 (maybe one or two euro 's less) Pre-order though No there is one for pre-order (I think) for 148,95 EUR HERE Quote
tripletschiee Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Whole Brickshelf is down. Almost the whole day.... It is still down, the pictures above are not visable. :( Regards, Gerhard Quote
deAraujo Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 I´m very happy with this set I don't know if this was already explained, but I have been wondering... You can't compress the 2 shocks (in each axis) at the same time can you? At least the disposition of the steering transmission doesn't let you... What do you guys think? Quote

You can't compress the 2 shocks (in each axis) at the same time can you? At least the disposition of the steering transmission doesn't let you... What do you guys think? They have tought of it. In the following picture of the front it's easy to see how it's solved. Here you can see that the top of the shockabsorber is connected to this piece: This gives the top of the shocks possibility to rotate both in X and Y axis. And in the bottom they have used this part: And only connected one of the pin holes to give the shocks ability to rotate in both Y and X axis. In the rear they have chosen a different solution. As you can see of the pictures below they have the same top mount with both X an Y axis rotation, but in the bottom I'm quite certain that the rotation in one of the axes is linked between both sides. I don't know why, but it may be a way to create a kind of torsion bar contradict lurching while turning, but I really can't say. I don't know how this is don on the real thing either, but maybe someone here knows? In this picture you can clearly see that the dark bluish grey 1x11 lift arm in the back is hanging down at a 90 degree angle. The shocks are connected to it, but hidden behind the left hand. In the next picture it rotated in place, and you can clearly see that both shocks are connected to each other through the lift arm. -ED- Edit: Updated how they solved the rear end.

deAraujo Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the quick response Nazgarot but I haven't explained myself well. Besides of each wheel go up and down in each axis thanks to the scheme you explained, do they both go up and down at the same time? For example, when you put your hand in the center of the vehicle and push it down, all four shocks will compress at the same time. I believe this unimog can't handle this kind of compression. I may be wrong of course. Edited June 15, 2011 by deAraujo Quote
tripletschiee Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) I believe this unimog can't handle this kind of compression. I am sure it can! Otherwise Mercedes would have NOT :) given the licensing to TLG. Here you can see the steering transmission pretty clear: They are using at least one of this part in the steering transmission. This part does not have a "press-fit" connection with an axle, but a floating one. So the steering transmission can expand and compress. Regards, Gerhard Edited June 15, 2011 by tripletschiee Quote
Bartholomew Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) Otherwesie Mercedes would have given the licencing to TLG. You've omitted a "not", Gerhard ;-) Don't these rods/beams stiffen the mounting suspension of each axis in a way that permits wide contraction of both shock absorbers at the same time? There are two of them on the front axle too, iirc. Edited June 15, 2011 by Bartholomew Quote

There are two of them on the front axle too, iirc. Thanks! :o) I changed it! These links prevent the whole suspension axle to move left and right without control. If this thing is not there, then the whole back axle would swing left and right. And I hope there is only one link-arm on each side of the vehcile, because otherwise the suspension would not work. It would be blocked. On this picture, you can see, that there are only two link-arms. At least it seems, that they have sorted all the bits and pieces. So they only found 2 of them in the package: Regards, Gerhard Edited June 15, 2011 by tripletschiee Quote

Bartholomew Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Thanks for the correction :) Yes, two diagonally mounted panhard rod, one for each axle. In the marked picture, I got the perspective all wrong... In these pics, all is visible more clearly: Quote
