LEGO Technic 42114 6x6 Volvo Articulated Hauler detailed building review

[@lancelehman1105]

I am glad I finally found someone talking about it and not just playing music. Good review!

[@yousufimtiaz1]

Great review! Just love how you narrate and walk us through the entire video as compared to others which only show a speed build. Plus the tips on where we need to take care to avoid errors. Thanks for posting!

[@zuanverreynne8301]

I can already see millions of off road MOCs comimg from this set, portal axles!!!! diffs that can be locked!!! This is HEAVEN!!!

I really want lego to create a technic train set. That would be so epic, and full of fun functions.

[@Jessikitty2020]

I just bought this then watched your video as I usually do. Very informative. I have all the technic super cars and they’re cool, but I like this and the liebherr because they actually do stuff. The cars have complex gearboxes but who really cares because they aren’t motorized.

[@For891]

Not thrilled about recent technic flagship sets but after seeing this, I’ll be at the LEGO store ASAP. Love the reviews and you attention to the interesting bits of these sets.

[@zuanverreynne8301]

I'm getting this set because of this review!!!!!!!!

[@koenraadlenoir8523]

Very good video! Nice to see you're not doing a full speed build but only pointing out what are the important and tricky steps. Good job! You have yourself a new subscriber!

[@jliu1596]

As for the engine, maybe the 3L beams are to provide more area for the 2L beams to hit the pistons so they don't get jammed. Also interesting what Lego flowers can do at 10:03

[@joenoneoyobinnes4727]

I can confirm this. I just got this set, and I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the 3L lift arms used in this way. Just two weeks ago I built the heavy duty tow truck 42128 which has a similar crankshaft lifting mock pistons tat are the ends of 3L axles with stops: the operation of this mock engine is very noisy and has a lot of friction; the 3L lift arms look like a much better solution which I'm looking forward to seeing in action.

[@JP11155]

Has to be one of my favourite sets LEGO has made. Sadly, my budget so far won’t allow it for awhile. So rip. I will buy this no matter what soon enough though.

[@sitsia3808]

Why don't you perhaps try a site that allows monthly payment? There's gotta be some toy sites, there is such one atleast in my country (sweden) i bought the 42100 Liebherr via that option.

A brilliant review. Lovely model. Your reviews are interesting and bring home how it works. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.

[@RacingBrick]

Glad you like it!

[@MarcMas07]

good video Racingbrick, I love it(the video and the set)

[@ManosLC]

I like that you shows the build in different steps instead of doing a speedbuild. Really nice review!😀👍

[@ZEROBRICKS]

I think the engine was built using the 3L beams to keep it from getting stuck. Good review!

Totally agree.

Hi Thank you for excellent review .LEGO technique is new project for me I build Volvo up to step 3 Paid lot of attention on details Watched your video multiple times. When I tried to operate model it is only working with all speeds when placed upside down, on normal position of car it is hardly moving Calibrated multiple times. Car passing calibration when upside down. In normal position it is not passing (referred to instructions) Is any idea what I should do next?

[@RacingBrick]

Did you use a new set of batteries?

[@babis0]

I'm so excited

[@vmln8]

Great review! 8043 also had an RC gearbox (six functions from four motors)

[@Unbrickme]

this set is the first to have an rc speed transmission tho!

[@varunbhandari9637]

Id manly use this model for display because it looks like the real thing and paneling is awesome, the bed can actually hold 2 X 4 bricks. The best combo display would be this set and the Volvo front end loader.

Hello , nice vids btw! I’m from Brasil and I currently having an issue with this set, the first part, the cabin of the truck seams very loose if don’t hold really well with two hands, front and back, is it the same with yours or maybe should I made something different? Thanks!

[@connortroy5321]

[@zuanverreynne8301]

Brilliant review!

[@davidg722]

Great first pass review. I really appreciate the build tips on potentially problematic areas. Is there a possibility of sharing your code block diagnostics for those interested in experimenting more? It will be interesting to see it perform with a game pad rather than the phone/tablet. Personally I prefer the tactile feel of physical buttons rather than virtual. Again, thanks for another great review!

[@RacingBrick]

I'll publish the test code, just needs some adjustments

[@uigrad]

@@RacingBrick Are there any updates on this? Honestly, I'd love to see the test code as it is now, even if it isn't what you think of as publication quality. :)

[@RacingBrick]

@@uigrad no updates yet, lots of things happened since then. Even the PU app had new blocks so the code definitely needs some adjustments, and in general I don't like to share experimental code without explanation because I always get tons of questions after that. I won't promise any releases soon but I'll find some time (probably early next year) when I'll rework and share all my PU codes.

[@JediTim28]

Nice review. Looking forward to getting this set.

[@robomissionde6444]

Would be interesting to see this model next to the 42100 Liebherr to have a size comparison. Can the Liebherr load the Volvo or is the Volvo maybe to big ?

[@wim907]

thanks for this video, i am at part 3 now, but it looks like i need to start some things over. the middle wheels seems not connected and i messed something up at the cabin too ( can't attach 1 of the stairs) 🧐🤷‍♂

[@Danisworkshop]

9:53 this solution was used becouse this way the piston driver beams wont jam with the pistons like in the concrete mixer set.

[@RacingBrick]

Honestly it never jammed for me in the Concrete Mixer, not sure what was the problem with Sariel's sample

[@willc236]

@@RacingBrick I am not familiar with the exact design of the engine bay, but it is possible that the 3l beams allow the pistons to sit closer to the crankshaft. With just plain axles, a fairly large amount of empty space must be left between the bottoms of the pistons and the crankshaft to prevent jamming

[@TinkeringJohn]

I was sitting at the Wendy's drive-up window so my step-daughter could grab something for breakfast on the way to her job. We live in a small town in Indiana. It was around 7am so it was still relatively dark out. I saw a truck coming up the road and it triggered my mind about this Volvo Hauler because I am currently assembling it. As it got closer, it started looking more and more like this vehicle. It was on the other side of the 3 lane road so it was still hard to make out what it was, but as it got closer, I could see the back looked familiar and then I spotted the long hydraulic cylinder on the side. I couldn't believe I just saw the real thing while I am building it in Lego's!!! What a ca-winky-dink.

[@clevmagyk770]

fantastic review! i want this one!

[@OldSalty22]

GREAT Video. I am in desperate need of help with this build. When I turn the rear differentials by hand the front wheels move in the opposite directions from the rear ones and I think that explains why only the front wheels work when in gear. I halve already taken this thing apart and started all over. I have verified that the differentials are correctly installed as per the manual. I did notice that in your video you have the clutch installed with the white housing facing the red holder. In the build manual it has the white housing in line with the gear. Is the manual wrong here or does that not matter? I am stumped at this point. I cant finish the build until this is solved. What am I missing here?

[@TinkeringJohn]

I finished bags 3 so I had all the axles connected. I turned it upside down to check my work. I turned the rear differential and the 2 set of rear wheels turned one way but the front axle turned the opposite way. I double checked my work wondering what I did wrong. Then it occurred to me.....When you turn an axle one way, the axle on the other side turns the opposite way because of the differential. The rear wheels on this vehicle are connected to the front wheels thru another differential (the old style one), so the front wheels turn the opposite direction of the rear set of wheels. All is fine!!! DUH?!?!?

[@nrfnrd]

The gears on mine don’t sync. Dump box will not raise or go down. Will not go forward or back up.

[@therickman1990]

3:50 I just finished chapter 2 and got excited to drive it so I hooked everything up and found out I did the gearbox wrong.... So have to take it apart again :(

[@johnjury7316]

Can you confirm that at 3:56 after installing the clutch component, that the “white wheel” and the linked three grey gears actually revolve? Your video appears to show that it does but is not clear. After following the Lego instructions and your video, my clutch “white wheel” and the aforementioned gears become locked?

[@RacingBrick]

The clutch is supposed to act as a brake when the tipper function is used, so one side is fixed.

[@johnjury7316]

@@RacingBrick Many thanks for confirming that.

[@Ziontastic]

How was the tilting of the bed? nice review! You're still the best reviewer! keep it up bro! will wait for more videos before ordering this.

[@RacingBrick]

Slow... will show more of it soon :)

[@sailovspider]

What do you think about locking or replacement of differentials to gear assembly, is it possible without complete re-buid of the frame?

[@RacingBrick]

Not possible, as the differentials sit in 5x7 frames. If you want to make them lockable then it needs a full redesign.

[@sailovspider]

@@RacingBrick so with minimal rework we could only permanently connect axles without any diffirentials (except central diff I guess)?

[@jamespeterbates]

I need some help. I’ve built this and it drives and tips fine but there’s one set of cogs on the underside that never moves (the thick white plastic one and the three grey cogs connected to it). I’m worried I’ve made a mistake but looking at the manual I fear it was an early step and not sure how to fix retrospectively.

[@patrickorourke2105]

Disappointed in the design of this set compared to others like the Liebherr. As you mentioned, no confirmation opportunities as you build to confirm you are on the right track. Also, the gear elements that raise and lower the bed are only held in place by the gear at the end of the axel (5:30). After a few uses, they detach themselves.

hey Racingbrick, I just found something out in the 42099 but it may work in other models as well, if you hold the car in a way that the front wheels have no resistance(on the air) and the rear ones are doing force but you stop them, there is a point in which the hub stops sending power to the rear wheels, same thing on the front, I think it may be the firmware update just released, could you check please?

If you block the motors then the hub will cut power, that's not something new
