8265 Wheel Loader Mod

Nagy Abonyi Attila has created this wonderful 8265 Wheel Loader modification. As a result the loader is now fully motorized and can be controlled with an IR remote. The loader was also mentioned on TechnicBRICKs, congratulations!

Details about new Technic sets

The second half of the year is upon us so more and more details are available about the forthcoming Technic sets.
The 8263 Snow Groomer has 590 parts and sports treads and shovels in the front and back, both adjustable.
We have already covered the 8265 Front Loader. Now it is clear that it consists of 1091 parts and has a V6 engine with gearbox and most likely an all wheel drive with multiple differentials. The linear actuators move the bucket in the front.
The new flagship is the 8258 Crane Truck. This set has 1877 parts and will probably contain a hostload of working features. We expect a V8 engine and gearbox, but it will certainly have adjustable supports and a fully functional crane as well.

TechnicBRICKs has more details.

New Technic Wheel Loader

TechnicBRICKs published new details about the yet-to-appear 8265 Wheel Loader set. We can expect quite exciting things like the Linear Actuators moving the bucket - they are like the older pneumatic elements but work with electric power.
