Yeah, that's what I did with 4L stop axles. I bought 40 of them, which apparently is just enough, I only have 4 of them left.

What the heck are you building?!

I don't know, stuff. They run out faster than you think, especially when you're building something big.

Please post a pic when you're done!

Here is the cost of most of the new parts if anyone is interested...

Dogbone Frame: .49 <- I expected this to be more

3L long axle pin: .17

5L axle with stop: .16

New worm gear: .41

3 x 11 white panel: $1.36

Suspension Arm: .63

New Hub: .28

New Linkage: .72 <-This seem high for this small part

Wow, everything is actually a lot cheaper than I expected! Even though I'm mostly a studded builder, I'll be stocking up on dogbone frames, 3L axle pins, 5L stop axles, and suspension parts. The price for the linkage is ridiculous though, that's odd.

Agreed regarding the linkage price.. I also can't think of very many situations where two 3L thin liftarms and a couple of axle pins won't do the same job as the new linkage!

Same here. Just seems like a total waste, I don't get it.

I agree. Maybe the new part was designed to solve some other problem that couldn't be solved with existing parts, and then they used the part in the snowmobile because it was available? Maybe we'll see the part in a 2H 2014 model in a context where it makes more sense.

I'd wager it's for a new supercar.

They should scale up the twin rotor helicopter (read Chinook). Give it power function rotors, winch and ramp. Also perhaps power function cargo hooks on the bottom fuselage. The real Chinook has three.

I'd wager it's for a new supercar.

What do you think it may be used for?

With its light blue panels and the flame stickers, the 42022 would be perfect for a mirthmobile (from Wayne's World) :

Party on !

Party on? That's Bill and Ted isn't it? Game on!

No, that's Wayne and Garth.

I think Wayne and Garth would make a MOC of this vehicle - and not a bad idea for 2H2014, has some interesting PF, and the air compressor can simulate the flow of concrete through the tubing

The new suspension links probably for a new suspension setup, the part with the 4 balljoints... i don't know.

I already have a new chassis/suspension ready to go.. Just waiting on my parts order to replace the regular 5L liftarms in it with the new suspension arms and 5L axle with stop...

Only bad thing is I built it to work with those crappy new hubs from the 42000...

Use my hubs. :)

Killed myself laughing on this one! And yep, does look like a great model! An imaginative proposal too.

Those angled legs would be a real pain to build,as much as it would be a great model I don't think we will see that kind of truck for a while.

I don't know, stuff.

Hahaha! That's my kind of answer! Mainly for the wife: "Gee, what are you up to?", "Huh, err, stuff..."

This would be cool:

I hope instead in a garbage truck like this

I'd love to see a tipper truck with suspension and realistic rear tandem axle.

"Hang on, lads, I've got a great idea..."
