+ The model is about half a meter long 58 cm, to be precise
+ The wheel loader and its lifting arm are motorized with LEGO Power Functions and can be fully controlled with the included remote control as can be comfortably from the sofa for. B. mountain of LEGO bricks redeploy, recharge or sort (but to have to pretty accurately control)
+ Total are 4 different sized engines installed (the right and left side of the remote speak each have their own infrared receiver, and control each of the motors 2)
+ Just like the big 540-hp Volvo L350F works cornering even when LEGO model by articulated steering this is not (such. As in normal cars usual) steered by a lateral displacement of the front wheels, but in between one-angled joint the front and rear of the vehicle; This gives the loader a much smaller turning circle
+ The lifting arm can be raised and lowered
+ The 18 cm wide blade makes up and tilt from
+ Is the shovel in the highest position, the distance from the floor to the blade-top almost 40 cm
+ Inside the wheel loader tinkers a 6-cylinder engine in which the pistons move even and the fan
What course once it should be noted at this point: Although the loaders "only" 1,636 parts has (total weight of the pack about 3.5 kg), it is with a suggested retail price of 219.99 euros, the most expensive TECHNIC set at all. By comparison, the second most expensive date set, the "Mobile heavy-duty crane" (42009) has all the 2,606 parts and is still only at MSRP 199.99 Euro. However, the wheel loader can be contrary to the crane controlled completely by remote control, which along with the aforementioned new Giant Tipping Bucket ultimately offsets the additional price again.
The second model can in this way, the set also featured dump truck Volvo A25F are built, which also features the special articulated steering and its dimensions are no less impressive (the length of the truck is for example about 50 cm). By remote control, you can also drive around the tipper will and tilt the loading area up and down.
Now just a few words to the trappings: Inside the box there are 14 bags (not numbered), in which the parts are each arranged thematically included. The guide consists of a single thick manual. Furthermore, this is a sheet of stickers. However, you should think about what it is when installing, because some of them are only for wheel loaders and some intended for the dump truck, so one would possibly remove the rebuilding to B-Model some already pasted stickers again.
Conclusion:
---------
With its colossal scoop one of the truly great detail designed Volvo wheel loader digs initially a rather large hole in your wallet. But if you have assembled it in about 5-6 hours, holding the remote control in hand and can then admire him live at work, you know that the money was invested here very well. In the truest sense of the word a great fun for all ages. One criticism, the person actually not really bother me (but maybe others) is still mentioned briefly at the end: unfortunately Articulated steering steers not particularly smooth, but rather abruptly, so that the steering usually relatively choppy fails. Those who can not anfreuden with this little flaw, could use to remedy an infinitely adjustable other remote control (eg. As the LEGO trains), then with the softer curves are possible.
