JUST REALLY COOL
I actually built this for a friend whose child got it for Christmas. Being that his son is nine and my friend didn't have the time , he called me knowing my love of Lego's. the build was stretched out over three and a half weeks. Reason being I got to the point of installing the third motor and it wasn't there. Not really a big deal but did take some time to receive because it had to come from Norway and as always when a piece might be missing from time to time , Lego took care of it in the same (customer is king) way they always do. Big kudos to customer service in a world where it's hard to find.
The coolest things about this build is the end result. A very detailed and realistic look. Having many friends in the excavation business I know more than the average person. The articulated steering system is so on point that the steering wheel even turns. The engine with its pistons pumping up and down do to a realistic cam shaft and working fan. Without going into a real engine this is a great way of showing a child a little about how the internal combustion engine work inside. I found the build a little more difficult because my hands are big and not as nimble as when I was younger. All in all the satisfaction of finishing and testing it was great and on par with The London Tower Bridge build.
The Best
This set is really fun to play with and drive around in your parts pile. All of the functions work wonderfully, even the steering! Many people are saying that the steering is jerky, but i say otherwise. I do not think that it is jerky at all It gets the job done a works very fast. So much attention to detail was put into this set so it is a great display model also. I just love this so much.
Pros:
- 100% remote controlled!
- Very realistic!
- Giant Bucket!
- Green engine!
- Can chase the pets around with it!
Cons:
- The differentials prevent the loader to really climb through parts.
- The stickers seem to be of lesser quality as some of mine are peeling off and it has only been built for a month.
All and all this is a must by set either for play/display or as a parts pack. My second favorite Set of all time right behind 6989 Mega core Magnetizer.
Great Build! The Articulated Hauler Is Awesome!
The A25F articulated hauler model is awesome! Everyone talks about the Wheel Loader but the articulated hauler is totally worth building. For me the play value was higher since it matches the other cars and trucks in my collection. The online only instructions were easy to follow and very descriptive. Would highly recommend this toy to anyone. Be different and build the truck! You won't regret it.
Wheel Loader
I was late in getting this model, and the reason is the price to parts ratio. Every time I walked by it at the store, my heart jumped a little. After all, it looks awesome. I knew the price point was due to having three motors and a servo... but $249.00? Finally, my brain said, "Hey, it's expensive, but three motors and a servo? What, are you nuts? Buy this thing!" So, I did. Well, it's SO cool. One advantage to having three motors as opposed to one is the fact that when it sits idle, the motor is not constantly running. In other words, the motors are only used when you want it to do something. Other models keep the motor running the entire time. Another advantage is no complex transmission builds. Well, that can be a good thing or a bad thing. I always marvel at how they engineer those things, but I guess you could say it was a nice break from the norm. Suffice to say, this thing is just fun all around. The build was fun of course, but it's also so much fun to operate. My cats leave their toys all over the house, and picking them up to return them to the cat's toy box is a pleasure now. I'm considering adding a clump of dirt to the living room, but so far I've been voted down. I'm very glad I got this one before it was too late. It's very pricey, but I have yet to run across a Lego set that wasn't worth it. If you're torn between this or an Arocs, I would say get the Arocs. It's an enormous build and an enormous truck, and it is more challenging, but this loader is a beautiful piece of machinery that operates like a dream. The "play experience" is phenomenal. You don't have to worry about switching the transmission around - you just turn it on and go. In conclusion, it's just another highly recommended, wonderful Lego product.
Everything is great, except the IR Remote Control
Most of reviews here are positive, I agree and wont repeat them.
Here I want to mention some glitch and fix that may help other players.
PROBLEM: Before I finished the build, I tested the remote control, receiver and power-train to make sure everything works properly. Surprisingly it did not. Followed the LEGO's pf FAQ, I narrowed down the issue to 8885 IR Remote Control unit. Even though I use fresh batteries, the green light on the black eye of the IR Remote Control does not light up.
CAUSES: The issue is caused by the bad contact on (+) terminal. There is a plastic notch holding (+) metal terminal contact, which is too thick to allow battery's (+) terminal to fully engage with metal contact (see the pic). Visual inspection may look fine, but actually it does not. If you use Duracell AAA batteries, just as I did, this problem may happen. It also looks like (+) terminal on Duracell AAA is shorter then other brands.
SOLUTION: Bend the contact outwards, I used a slot screwdriver to do it. Now the Remote Control works fine.
Awesome build
This was and extremely fun build. The playability of the finish build is extremely fun as well. The level of detail is very good. To see the engine pistons moving up and down is very cool. I would definitely recommend this to my friends. I may even buy another one just to build the dumper.
Best Lego Kit EVER!!!
My son and I have built almost 100 Lego kits and we have most of the modern Technics sets, particularly the construction vehicles. I have added power functions motors to most of the sets that did not come with motors, even the ones that did not come with instructions about how to add motors.
This front-end loader kit is absolutely the best Lego kit that we have ever built. All of the others have been slow and limited functionality, but this one drives great and my son has had a blast playing with it. The motor functions and steering servo works better on this kit than the rock climber truck or the big excavator kit.
Lego has hit a home-run with this design. Thank you!
Favorite Build To Date
This was one of my main Christmas gifts this year, and I was excited to get started building it. It is truly an amazing set and very rewarding to build with the double remote and all the functions. The tires were a lot bigger than I expected. Overall, it was an amazing set and I would recommend it to a friend.
Volvo L350F loader
Excellent model I thoroughly enjoyed this build and have recommended it to others and what a reward at the end being able to drive it around remotely I look forward to other similar models .thank you lego for such an enjoyable model to help pass the time cheers until next time Alan
Detailed and Authentic
A great build, with excellent functions and realistic detail. Add the lights, which is easy and makes it the best Technic set of 2014. A bit pricey, stickers are getting tiresome at this price point, but overall an awesome set.
Amazing
the only word to describe the VOLVO L350F wheel loader is amazing. From when I first opened the box to the finished creation I was very impressed with this set. The first part that I grabbed out of the box was the new spade nose bucket that was made just for this set and was surprised on how close they could replicate it to the real life bucket. then I took a look at the tires, now there are big tires and then there are these monster tires. Overall the build was average, but I expected it to be like that. I really like that that there is wide variety of motors for this set. Overall I would give this Technic model a 9 out of 10.
