hello

[@wendypets]

This was amazing to build. I am a 77 year old woman who had never used Lego before we go locked down. I purchased this to give to my son when completed and did it in just over two weeks. I relied totally on the instructions as I know nothing of machinery and haven't done many technics but took it slowly making sure no pages were stuck together and it turned out very well and works as it should, .

[@Efferman]

this is, in my humbly opinion, the best 42100 review so far.

[@FredMellink55]

Except for the again so irritating music. Get a headache from it. Luckily there is a volume slider

[@p3l1k44n1]

@@FredMellink55 Well that's because of youtubes copyright laws.. Can't have any good music that we actually like. Only shitty, more shitty or extremely shitty free music is available for use. You'd think that the artists who make music would like the free commercial of their music being used in a video but no. Too greedy. If i want to listen to music for the music then i use spotify.

Same here, everyone does speed builds but I always wanted to know the actual couplings and the mechanism which is very rare to find.... unless you buy the 421$$ for yourself.

[@Cyberdyne_research]

The format of your videos is Brilliant. You answered 100% of my questions, the text is just slow enough to read, the pacing of information is lightning fast, and the demonstration accurately shows all features. This is grade A KZbin content. You deserve a sub. Thank you for this video!!

Thanks for the feedback & the nice words!

Ein sehr schönes Modell des R9800 mit dem sogenannten "Hochlöffel". Der "Tieflöffel" wäre für dieses Modell zu gewöhnlich. Ich werde mir einen zu Weihnachten kaufen. Ich bin jetzt 43 aber freue mich über Lego Technic jedesmal wie ein kleines Kind

[@user-wl7pj7xt4v]

It’d be cool if they added a pneumatic system to later sets. I remember some of the old Mars mission sets had stuff like that

[@trif55]

This is a model of mixed emotions! I'm so pleased to see multiple motors after building 42009 and 42055 which had very cleverly designed gear systems to power all the functions from a single motor but really struggled for performance because of it, 7 motors is such a step change in design, it's awesome! However there is also heartbreak, seeing initial pictures with the pneumatic hose I was so excited, I've always enjoyed building a lot and the play afterwards less, except for 8439 as a child and more recently 42053, the Pneumatics, especially with an air tank combined with the motorised pump and a hand pump (my 42053 may have had some upgrades from 8439) had such incredible performance, at full pressure 42053 made a really satisfying chomping noise and could lift more weight than it could counterbalance, compared to the motors which have always been a little lacking in power! Hopefully the 7 motors and longer actuators etc will improve performance significantly!

[@crazyivan030983]

Well, at first I was disappointed that this is not a pneumatic set... but I always enjoyed building with gears with Lego so... this non pneumatic is ok for me. And about struggling... this is a beast. Even with 7 motors set is slooow. Gear reduction is high :) greetings from Poland :)

[@YENALEDNHOJ]

Landed this set in a great deal, looking forward to building it this weekend. Also going to do the Johnny Five robot B model MOC as well in the future.

[@DaveyGa]

This type of excavator is called a "face shovel". They are meant to be at the toe of a dirt face and scrape upwards to fill the bucket. As you found, they are hopeless at scraping stuff up off the ground! Nice build and review.

[@AbhisarRawat]

Ya liebher r9800,9600 etc use for scraping material from walls

[@marcelh.4870]

Been out of TECHNIC for decades, but I could easely jump in again... These day's I'm into RC-modelling, full DIY and fully fumcional. DIY linenair acuaters, look like hydraulic cylinders etc.

i have sped up the tracks by switching the 2 gears in front of the safety clutch, when u block the track the clutch still engages so it's still safe.

[@jpatrick1967]

As much as I loved building this set and playing with it, the biggest issue I have with these large technic products is not only do you have fork over 100’s of dollars for the set, you are then required to have a device that costs 100’s of dollars as well in order to use it with an app. So if I were to buy this for my grandson, I’d have to spend almost $500 and then my son would have to either let my grandson use his expensive smartphone or tablet or buy him one. Either way, in order for someone to own or operate this, it could be close to if not more than $1,000 to do so. The fact that there isn’t a remote control that comes with this is disheartening for those who can’t afford all the bells and whistles. I still love it because I bought for myself and my grandson can enjoy it when he visits, but that’s still one of these issues I have with these sets.

[@nmanbamboo1980]

LOL 6:15 pneumatic mock tubes come wobbling in matching the music.

[@TheKurtTribute]

Just picked one up partially assembled for $200. Definitely wish it wasn’t mostly built when I became its owner but my 42082 (rough terrain crane) should be arriving in a few days so that’ll keep me busy.

[@mellowjello2593]

The tracks are fairly accessible so you can remove the clutch pieces and replace them with pieces from elsewhere on the model.

[@FerroequinologistofColorado]

I was annoyed by the constant need for recalibration but I just got used to it and now just recalibrate the model about once a month to deal with any travel limits of the Liner actuators.

[@newsmansuper2925]

the main reason to get this set is the great number of B models tha you can get plans for or make because of the number of pieces and motors

[@wolfgagaming2168]

This may be the coolest LEO set ever

How to draw your dragons lucky you 😱

[@bossolo7582]

i cannot say it's a bad set but i also can't really say i desire it, just the new xl actuators and big sprockets...for sure it doesn't seem to come from the creator of the arocs which is absolute gold! i'm not even so convinced anymore to buy the so wanted 42099, just because i need new joints and planetary hubs mainly, unless a supermega sale happen...i'll stay with bricklink, buwizz, brickcontroller and good old motors! the new control+ has only cons compared to what i already have...no possibility of a 'touchable' controller, no better power and possibility to manage it, size of parts, it feels childish and hostile to mocs and...that battery hub that runs on stilos is simply embarassing.

Love your videos! This is the best Lego set of all time IMO. My only complaint about it is that it is painfully slow. Why don’t they make faster/better motors for these sets? Do you know if they are coming out with a massive Liebherr crane this year?

I have no idea about the unannounced sets unfortunately

[@crazyivan030983]

I love this set. This is my only one set and I think I won't be buying something like this in the future. Why? I think that is enough :) pure joy and with 7 motors and two hubs posibilities (for me) are endless. But I am annoyed with this 7 motors. I am planning to buy one more motor to have round 8 (seriously) :) greetings from Poland :)

[@DrewMarold]

So here we are, 14 months later. I'm just at the start of section 3, and the bug about needing all the motors connected is STILL in the app. My biggest observation so far is that while this set has about twice the part count of the Mercedes Arocs truck, and nearly 3 times that of the blue crawler crane, both of those models were more technically challenging, and IMHO more sophisticated engineering. The gearbox in the crane is bloody brilliant, in how they route the power of a single motor to 4 different functions in 2 directions. The new powerup stuff is cool, but this model is mostly an exercise in structural reinforcement and not a master class in powertrain engineering like its predecessors.

[@Peip692]

Great review! What music did you use? Reminds me so much of Last Chance to Evacuate Planet Earth by Porcupine Tree .

[@ThePulmentinum]

I think that these control huba could be very much improved with integrated rechargeable batteries (charge them via mini USB). I like these huge sets but I don't like to buy batteries.

[@MagnifiedGiant]

I want to buy this and figure out how to change it over to an excavator (where you fill the bucket by drawing it in towards the machine and you can dig below the track level) from a shovel front. You could dig out of some sort of bin full of lego and fill the bucket easier.

[@carmatic]

Back in my day, it you wanted an excavator bucket, you had to build it out of bricks!

[@nevermind3415]

Can you name both songs used in the video please? Thank you.

[@BlackringIII]

Just partially built it, got track base done. There is the option to test different parts while you're building, and I managed to connect to the track base (I know cause of the blue light on the hub) but the app believes that it has not successfully connected yet, and is keeping me stuck on the same "pairing" screen. Dissapointing, but maybe I'll find better luck with the completed model- or possibly another device (even though mine is perfectly compatible).

[@RacingBrick]

Did you double check that all the motors are connected to the proper ports?

[@BlackringIII]

@@RacingBrick Yes. I re-looked at the instructions carefully, and multiple times I unplugged motors and even checked how it would work if they were placed in the wrong ports. I believe it has something to do with the app; most reviews I've seen had that firmware update when they opened it up, but the version I downloaded yesterday did not ask for such while I was doing tests. Maybe it will when I connect to the completed model. I will give update when finished.

[@RacingBrick]

That's strange since the fw update happened to me right at the first connetion. Another option would be to reinstall the app or try with another mobile device.

[@BlackringIII]

@@RacingBrick trying with another phone and/or when it's complete Are probably my best bets. I have tried installing and uninstalling it. Also, yesterday I was sort of pressed on time so I built the 1st section as quick as I could- 1 hour and 38 minutes. Do you remember your approximate time? Oh and one of the developers for the app just replied to me on the app store. He says to just connect to a completed model. He may be implying to skip testing.

[@RacingBrick]

@@BlackringIII That's quick :) I stopped filming several times so that added to my time, here are the sections: 1 - 2h 2 - 1h 50min 3 - 1h 50min 4 - 30 min 5 - 1h 50min

Because you cannot really use pneumatic ones for precision control

[@Jessikitty2020]

Need some help. When doing the second test at the end of book one I had the cylinders down and ran the base test again. The cylinders jammed the rotation of the base and now the superstructure is not parallel to the tracks anymore.
