42030 - Volvo L350F Wheel Loader

[TheItalianBrick]

Yes but what a shame that "Pick a brick" and "customer service" aren't the same!! I mean I can't find the bucket and the Unimog wheel in pick a brick, but you can buy them as customer service!! :hmpf_bad: :hmpf_bad:

[TinkerBrick]

They won't ask. You can order online:

https://service.lego.com/en-gb/replacementparts#WhatStore

Select "I want to buy pieces" than the "Bricks and Pieces selection".

Afterwards you can enter a set number to see the inventory or supply the part/design number: Element ID 6055632

Design ID 15265.

You can shop for pieces from various sets. I recommend to finish the ordering process once started-after 15min or so the shopping basket is cleared automatically as the process is being aborted.

Thanks also to you Tinker, now the only doubt it's about the different prices between Pick a Brick and Customer service....I did open another topic! feel free to comment if you have answer! that would help me a lot! Thanks!!

At last! I built my 42030! And the first thing that I wanted to change - is to put 108 mm tires, they look more realistic and cool. I had to change the design front shields instead of thin bims 4x stud set bims 3x stud. I do not supported the replacement of original parts LEGO, but in this case it is good (as in 9398/41999). Overall, the model is very steep and playable. By itself only changed the original optics for more realistic and hide bumps on the lifting mechanism - they're unnecessary.

Curious...

Many people have been waiting yellow rims for years, and with your pics, I tend to believe that the model looks better with black rims. ^^

[TJoling]

Wow! That is such an improvement on the looks! Now it really looks like a mean machine, instead of a toy!

Damn filsaw, those tires are awesome. Where did you get them? And I agree, somehow black rims look better.

Thanks to all!

As far as I know, this is the tire for RC models. And where to get them knows RM8 :)) I bought them from him

[Boulderer]

This mod makes a massive difference to the looks. If only TLG would partner with a tyre manufacturer to offer more options. Afterall, it works for F1

Bad @$$ looking loader with these black rims and those tyres! Really like the tyres, they do the job :D and prefere black instead of yellow for rims! Well done!

Nice modifications, the set looks so much nicer with black rims and upgraded tires.

[Paul B Technic]

Well done, that has improved the looks heaps :)

[Dafgek81]

Yep, it looks better, but the real machine has yellow rims.

So I will stick to that.

The tyres look great, a real good addition to the model.

When I get mine, I will order a set of rims that Efferman designed on Shapeways, not the cover but the complete rim.

On the technic website lego technic has made a short video looking at a 'behind the scene' look at making the 42030 wheel loader.

Thanks for posting the video Alasdair. Took anyone notice, that the prototype shown at 0:53 used the rare cylinder brackets? Would have been great to see those return.

Hi, sorry for my english, i am italian,

one question, the rims are of the Lego 9398? The codes are: 44772 with 3 hole pin or 15038 with 6 hole pin (6 pin that of you photos)

And the code of tires are: Rock crusher xt 1.9 ? 108mm or what? There are lot of models... thanks

Just today I got in the mail these tires and mounted them on my 42030. They fit almost perfectly, they are made out of an soft rubber but they got foam inside so there is no sustaining the model (maybe with the batteries on the back tires could flatten as the rubber is kinda soft). I got them with free shipping and I think 15$ is a great deal for four tires.
