A vehicle recovery truck would be a better description.  It looks like the model has a sliding flat bed at the back, possibly has a Linier Actuator to move the bed, possibly has a manual winch, possibly has a "spectacle lift" at the back. Has Hand Of God steering

It's expected the service packs will be sent out in October.  At this stage we don't know when the set will be re-released back to shops.

At this stage it seems that some of the functions are under powered when using the medium motor.  The faults develop over time and the movements of the excavator start to slow down even with fresh batteries.  Lego says they're investigating the fault and some people have been offered full refunds when the products been returned to Lego.

Lego are investigating if it's a faulty batch of motors, or a generic fault with the design of the model.  They hope to have more of an idea within 7 days, and a redesigned model within 3 months.

This is the second fault to hit Lego this year.  Faults were found with the new PF remote control system earlier in the year.

Various issues have been reported with the model including

  • Motors heating up
  • Motors making sounds as if under high load
  • Tracks running at vastly different speeds
  • Slow slewing
  • Main arm raising very slowly
  • Main stick moving slowly
  • Actuators making unusual noises
  • Batteries not lasting long
  • When dismantled, there is visible dust on the gears and axles

I would describe it as a Crawler Loader.

Unlike the main excavator model where only 3 of the 6 functions can operate at the same time, all 4 functions of the loader can operate - left and right tracks, lift and tip.

Ryan, a member of the LOWLUG message board has posted his review to TechBricks.

The review contains a few photos but sadly they're a bit dark and blurred, but give a good indication of how the model is built.

The box comes with 2 manuals for both the main A model - the mini digger and also the B model - the log handler.  This is unusual for Lego as they've tended to publish the B model instructions on their website.

The model contains a number of new parts:-

  • 20 Tooth bevelled gear - with a hole rather than an axle fitting hole.  This means the gear "free wheels"
  • 4 length axle with a stop at one end
  • 3 Length axle with stop
  • 3 Length pins with axle holes
  • New Body panel

The build starts off with the building of the undercarriage - Ryan finds this rather straight forward.  It appears the track treads "free wheel" and aren't powered in any way.  The rest of the model is then assembled on the base.

There's 2 gears / knobs at the back of the model that allow it to function.  The first raises and lowers the boom, the other controls the stick and bucket.

The model looks like a good set to obtain parts.  The tracks are very difficult to find new these days as it's a while since they've been part of a set in any numbers.  There's also a wide selection of gears.

Ryans review can be found here.

The review contains many photos of the tractor and a few of the trailer.  It can be found in the Lego Technic section of Eurobricks forum here.

From the review it's more than apparent that the tractor model is virtually the same as the previous Technic Tractor (set 8284).  There's a few minor changes including newer shaped body panels around the motor, and a slightly different 3-point linkage on the rear.  Apart from that their identical.

The trailer contains 13 of the new 1x5x11 body panels (part 64782) and one new Linear Actuator (part 61927c01). Apart from those parts there's nothing else in the set that's new.

It has been mentioned that this Tractor and Trailer set may be a special set exclusive to Toys R Us as they're currently the only ones selling it.
