Dafgek81 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 I have taken a look at that to, but I could not find a 4x4 version of an A25F. The only one I could find was an A25E 4x4 version. Quote
davidmull Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 I couldn't find any pictures, and Volvo's brochures do not mention a 4x4 A25F. Would be curious to see a picture of it, then we can put this 'debate' to rest. I agree i could not find any pictures at all. For a licensed set it's a major slip up i think! Quote
Milan Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 If those pictures are on the net, they certainly are very hard to find, therefore that machine is either really rare, or non existing. In either case, it would be more logical for LEGO to make a more known and documented model of Volvo 4x4 hauler, especially if the model is licensed. Quote
jantjeuh Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 I think A25E is EOL, that's why they went for the A25F, even though they're technically 2 wheels short. Quote
N-4K0 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 I am 100% sure that I found pics of the A25F with 4 wheels, but now I can't find any... maybe someone should try contacting TLG and ask about this, if it hasn't been done. Maybe it's a mistake. Or, maybe Volvo will introduce a 4x4 version of the A25F later this year, maybe around the release of 42030, and that's why TLG have done this. Quote
98267a Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 i am going to have to buy this as soon as it comes out Quote
davidmull Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) Anyone know how this will perform off road ? Is it driven by 2 or 1 XLs? Something I forgot to ask but what motor does what? Edited March 12, 2014 by davidmull Quote
efferman Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 one xl for drive, one servo for steering, one L for lifting the bucket, one M for tilt the bucket Quote
davidmull Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 one xl for drive, one servo for steering, one L for lifting the bucket, one M for tilt the bucket Will 1 xl not be hard on the drive train? It is 4x4 I take it? Quote
MrNumbskull13 Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 One XL should easily take this thing. People make 8x8 trial trucks driven by one XL. Quote
Theo van Vroenhoven Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I am really looking forward to the parts list of this model. Apart from the green engine and the new bucket I suspect that it can easily be build from your own parts if you already own 8265, 8275 and 42009. Or are there a lot of new parts included in this model? Quote
jantjeuh Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) Green engine pieces, yellow hubs, bucket. That's all the new parts I've spotted so far. Probably also uses some of the new pieces introduced this year, such at the 5L axle with stop, dog bone frame, etc. Edited March 13, 2014 by jantjeuh Quote
Tji-chan Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Hoi I also try to vind pic's of a 2 axel A25F but all the pic's are whit 3 axels. The set on itself looks nice but not that i say jee going to bay it. Price / part ratio is a bit high. Muddy Quote

AndroTech Posted March 14, 2014 Author Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) http://www.volvoce.c...ifications.aspx Here is the 4 x 4 But this is A25E ....... ....... we are looking for A25F 4x4 ...... Edited March 14, 2014 by Povratnik Quote
technicfan Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) As far as I can tell there hasn't been one unless they are releasing one soon. Only the A25E and A25D in 4 x 4. Hopefully it has a decent R/C steering system on it. Edited March 14, 2014 by technicfan Quote
GoldVillage Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) Maybe its a typo or a misunderstanding? Technic believed that "F" series existed for the dumper only because the wheel loaders does. Edited March 14, 2014 by GoldVillage Quote
davidmull Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Maybe someone could email Lego about this? Quote
jantjeuh Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 I stand by my earlier hypothesis: the A25E is EOL and Volvo did not want an outdated model referenced, the missing axle is taken for granted. Quote
EyesOnly Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Funny how no one at Volvo has said anything about it, i mean even their own press statement says F. I guess proof reading isn't Volvo's strong suit. Or as others have said, an F with 2 axles really are in the works, for Volvo's sake i sure hope so. Quote
davidmull Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 I stand by my earlier hypothesis: the A25E is EOL and Volvo did not want an outdated model referenced, the missing axle is taken for granted. I'm not sure i get ur point? And what is eol? Quote
N-4K0 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 He probably means "end of line" - A25E going out of production and replaced by a new A25F, which could explain the presumed mistake. Quote
GoldVillage Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Four big wheels, yellow parts, LA's and a Volvo license.. Could this be the B-model? Or does Volvo make something like this: ? Ideally it would include an extra pair of wheels and heaps of yellow 5x11 panels as spare parts, and the B-model could be pretty close to Designer-Han's dump truck! Well, they actually do! (in smaller versions, but the euclid series are full size) look http://www.volvoce.com/constructionequipment/corporate/en-gb/AboutUs/history/products/Rigid%20haulers/pages/introduction.aspx Quote
