According to
http://www.lego.com/catalog/amr/product.asp?number=8448
it has 1408 parts. So, it again has the largest piece count of any Technic set
ever (and the largest current piece count overall if the MT semi-tractor is
indeed discontinued).
I just noticed on
http://www.lego.com/catalog/amr/product.asp?number=8445
that those 8440-style wheels now get the flat-alloy coating, too.
Better than the white hubs of previous years, but I doubt that
either these or the 8448 wheels will ever be available in parts packs...
