MrNumbskull13 Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Well I guess te cylinder would add to playability and coolness but in the other hand it definitely isn't realistic. :') Quote
rollermonkey Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Why do people think the single piston block will be chain driven? There's not even any reason for there to be a piston at all... If I were to guess, the block just represents the engine. Quote
Paul Boratko Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Why do people think the single piston block will be chain driven? There's not even any reason for there to be a piston at all... If I were to guess, the block just represents the engine. I doubt they would have bothered to include a chain on it if it was not going to move something... Plus you can see a tan bevel gear on the rear axle, so the drive shaft must be going to move something... I don't think Lego would include a cylinder block in one of their Technic models just for show... Quote

If I were to guess, the block just represents the engine. It is quite obvious there is a chain behind the front grill... Quote
rollermonkey Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Not that obvious... I didn't notice it until it was pointed out to me. :/ Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Uh why does the dump truck have a 1 cylinder engine beside the cab? Cost cutting....now where have I heard that excuse before? Those panels do look cool. You got plans for them? Yeb,I have plenty of uses for those. It will be a good year for panel lovers.... Quote
DrJB Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Yikes ,,, the 42039 has instantly gone from display model to parts pack .... Also, it seems there is less and less of Power Functions. Are the motors being phased out? Quote
Thirdwigg Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 I did not notice the chain in 42035. Is it behind or in front of the steering rack? Quote

I don't think Lego would include a cylinder block in one of their Technic models just for show... Yeah, I don't think Lego wants cylinder blocks for show ever (nor do I). Only set I remember where the cylinders were used as "decoration" in a Lego set, was in 8414's B-Model. I can't think of a single main model where it was just there for show. Quote

Saberwing40k Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Don't forget this one. At least this set (8279) has proper 4 wheel drive which lego is weirdly unwilling to do now. Quote
Maaboo the Witch Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 At least this set (8279) has proper 4 wheel drive which lego is weirdly unwilling to do now. True. The 42030 has four-wheel drive, though. Quote
Wiseman_2 Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) I know the new Agents sets won't be of much interest to anyone here, but it almost looks like there is a pin bushing in one of the sets, like that one that appeared in 1995 for one year then mysteriously disappeared. You can see it on the Helicopter's crank at about 1.17 in the video: http://youtu.be/-_wr0jxn3I0 (Also, I dunno how to embed videos ) Edit by Jim: [m.e.d.i.a.]url without https, just http[/m.e.d.i.a.] (without the dots) Edited October 6, 2014 by Jim Embedded video Quote
Conchas Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 It also seems to appear at one of the Speed Champions sets (75911). Quote
Jim Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 It also seems to appear at one of the Speed Champions sets (75911). Which part are you referring to? Quote
rollermonkey Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) I think I know what he's talking about... At the 59-second mark of this video, and on the side of the helo, there's what is issentially a DBG 1L liftarm. On the helo it's on the trans-clear blue wheel next to the cockpit canopy, and in the video it's pinned to a white liftarm on the left side of the garage.

captainmib Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 What's the use..? Would not be on my wishlist for parts. Quote
Zerobricks Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Well spotted! So we are gatting an 1l beam... Odd... Quote
MajklSpajkl Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Is that the part you're talking about - I have those from 8460-1 Mobile Crane - the new part seems to be smooth though. Quote
jantjeuh Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Well, that's a pretty useless part Probably only useful for cranks or something like that. Quote
MajklSpajkl Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) Well, that's a pretty useless part Probably only useful for cranks or something like that. I sometimes use it to fill a 1 stud gap and the double pin with bush cannot be used... otherwise yeah - cranks Edited October 6, 2014 by MajklSpajkl Quote
