MajklSpajkl Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Guys, our dreams came true!!! Arocs is fully suspended, double rear wheelz, new pneumatics, LA tipper bed...so juicy!!!!! Quote
Appie Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Ok... that 42043 is really freaking awesome!!!! It ticks pretty much every box people wanted to see in that set lol. Job well done Lego! Quote
z3_2drive Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) A must have set, lots of potential for modifying/improving bodywork and color! Haven't bought an official set in a long time, looks like this is the one :) Edited January 27, 2015 by z3_2drive Quote
Saberwing40k Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Shut up and take my money, the Arocs is awesome. I'm probably going to skip out on 42030 and get this beauty. I may even get two, for the sake of all the new parts. Edit: I just noticed that above the 3rd axle on each side are yellow pieces that are probably removable wheel chocks, a very nice touch. Also, the designer should not be that hard to guess: Markus Kossman. Edited January 27, 2015 by Saberwing40k Quote
Blakbird Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 This certainly confirms longer pneumatic cylinders in both the large and small diameters. I wonder if they will be exactly twice the length of the old ones? If so, that would allow me to go back and replace my old back-to-back cylinders with the expensive brackets with the new longer cylinders. Quote
Interceptor Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Arocs is dream set in every way, bravo LEGO! Crawler crane is pretty awesome as well with 4 motorized functions and blue colour. Epic. Quote
Ondra Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 This set has everything, that I can imagine for flagship with 2793 pieces, only problem I see is front of cabin. We my christmas present is choosen! Quote
gevans12 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 This set has everything, that I can imagine for flagship with 2793 pieces... We my christmas present is choosen! Couldn't agree more! My only "issue/gripe" is this....thank heavens we have new pieces and at last a clamshell grab...but is it me or do the halves of the clamshell look quite small and out of proportion, compared to say the claw pieces that were introduced on 42006?

Rishab N Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Acros looks stunning and the suspension just makes it better. The steering linkage looks cool.I think this set is shaping up to be one of the best flagships in years . It's like the first model since 8285 that has double wheels Edited January 27, 2015 by Rishab N Quote
Balrog Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 This set has everything, that I can imagine for flagship with 2793 pieces, only problem I see is front of cabin. We my christmas present is choosen! For me it will be my birthday present. From me to me Quote
Rikus Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I'm speechless It's gorgeous... Definitely a must have! Quote

We my christmas present is choosen! So is mine, I love what they did with the chassis, it look like the rear axles are also on kind of realistic boggie system... So awesome!!!! Quote
gevans12 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I know dokludi has already done reverse engineer of it from the little pic, but I wonder if he will update it now the video is out? Quote
gevans12 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I'm really liking the use of L motors over the M motor, I think it's a good step in the right direction Quote
andythenorth Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 So (this ages me badly), is the Arocs more or less monumental compared to the Air Tech Claw Rig? http://www.technicopedia.com/8868.html Quote
Leewan Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Wow, the Arocs is impressive ! Among the best Technic sets ever, if not the best. Also, the Mercedes logo isn't printed on a boat stud, it's actually on a shield. Quote
Conor Hyland Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Isn't 42043 an absolute beauty! Longer pneumatics, fake engine, suspension on the front, dual rear wheels - I think everybody will be happy with this. Is the tipper using long LA's? Them stabilizers look pretty sturdy and the front looks absolutely fantastic. I can think of endless uses for them longer pneumatics. The biggest (piece count) and best Technic flagship to date. Thank you TLG, now I won't sleep a wink tonight! Quote
Balrog Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Wow, the Arocs is impressive ! Among the best Technic sets ever, if not the best. Also, the Mercedes logo isn't printed on a boat stud, it's actually on a shield. I think, the only way to step up the game even more: all the current functions and features of 42043 + *drumroll* complete remote control Quote
OG_technic Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Arocs: Obviously, the bed is being tipped through LAs. The steering mechanism through a linkage seems to be interesting. Indeed. I am absolutely in love with the arocs however the cab does look pretty ugly... Edited January 27, 2015 by OG_technic Quote
rumpletump Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 The bed is no doubt a mechanical lift of some kind you can see the function selector being used in the video and the battery box switch being reversed to lower it down again.. Quote
TheItalianBrick Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 That actros! is the probably the best sett ever!! Well.....can it beat the 8455?? Not sure my friend... Quote
Conor Hyland Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Fire Plane? Good spot! It seems to be in the Technic section anyway, so that must be it. It looks nice! Quote
