Marco, I guess you saw the second one.

"Differences between the leaked Marz photo and this photo:

3) The pneumatic switches seem standard grey in the old photo
4) The whole rear arm has been re-designed, pistons moved, the red flexi tube
has disappeared. A major re-design."

I really like this model. Well done lego, the legendary technic is back.

The rear wheels do not appear to be those from the 8466 off-roader. They
seem to be smaller like the RC car, which means it has new bubble tyres.

I wonder why the steering gear things on the front axle are the other way
round. Maybe it has a tilting front suspention, or could it have 4 wheel drive.

I've also noticed that if you look at the crack shaft, it only has one
piston every two studs of lenght, so it must be an in-line 3 or 4.

Does anyone know whether it has a diff or is it like the powerpuller and
what was the second model and is this the finished product, or has lego yet
to finish it?
