LEGO Technic Bulldozer Battle - 42131 CAT D11 vs 8275 vs 42100 B model Liebherr PR 776

- Here is the third part of my LEGO Technic 42131 CAT D11 Bulldozer review. I thought it would be nice to compare it with two other LEGO Technic bulldozers, the classic 8275 Bulldozer which was the first Power Functions set ever and was also designed by Markus Kossmann, and a custom B model of 42100, the Liebherr PR 776 Dozer designed by Eric Trax!

@@richardjulien1329 it was definitely the first Technic set with PF. There were other sets released in 2007 with PF components like the Monster Dino or the Ferris Wheel. According to the sources I found they were released in the same month, so in general the dozer is referred as the first one with the full range of components available at that point.
@@RacingBrick wow.... I just double checked, and yup, I was wrong... I really thought that the motorised AT AT from Star wars had a few more years than the dozer, but nope... I suddenly feel old now XD
hi
Thanks not only for the comparison, but for shedding some light on why the CAT takes forever to shift the gearbox! It's still very bad for playability, but now I can at least appreciate the thought and engineering that did go into it!
I bought the Lieberr last year for this exact reason. I want to build all the amazing Alts that are out there.
I'm still a little bit salty that Lego is not providing a official B-Modell for these sets anymore. But what Mocers are capable of is awesome.
The cat d11 also has really cools alt.
I'm still trying to choose between the liebherr excavator and the cat D11 for the big purchase.
From a playability perspective, I greatly prefer a gearbox over simultaneous control. It makes you think just how complex the setup inside is, and how gearboxes in real life work!
Well in my opinion that does not add to the playability side. Certainly a nice education aspect and makes the building experience more interesting, but from a playability perspective the fact that you need to wait long seconds every single time until something happens becomes annoying pretty quickly.
@@RacingBrick same bro
I agree. Actually I don't "respect" the formula motor = function.
hi
Damn it, I should have bought a second Liebherr yesterday when it was 37% off on amazon, but I usually avoid to get 2 of the same sets. My favorite among these 3 is definitely 8275. Still remember when I bought this set after my dark ages and it blew my mind cause I didn't have any motorized sets before that. The thing I like most is you just place the batteries in, turn it on and it's good to go... Plus it's fun to drive on laminate floors. With a second remote it can both drive and use the blade/ripper simultaneously. And this is how I would have liked the CAT to work as well. What a pity.
Thanks for the comparison video. As always awesome content, Balázs.
8043 that followed a few years later was also pretty fantastic, especially after the updates from Lego (instructions needed to be updated and the PF actuators needed replacing, which they did for free) - I still have it and man it's such a fun set, both A and B model.
That B model bulldozer set of the Liebherr is amazing. Well done to the designer. Nice video showing the comparisons between the three models.
Thank You :D
@@EricTrax Great work indeed! Putting all the features in a much smaller bulldozer than the official Cat one, using majority of the parts from the A model is an awesome feat! I'm honestly disappointed that the huge Cat only has one hub and four motors but I guess it would have been insanely expensive with more tech.
I just finished building the D11 ... you're right - the building experience is AWESOME! I am so impressed with the newest generation of Lego Technic. This was my first Lego build in almost 30 years, not counting the little kits for my kids. I also have the Liebherr 9800, still in the box, and will be building it over the winter, as well as the other Control+ models [Mercedes Trials Truck, Volvo AH60, and Xtreme Off-Roader]. The building experience and first go at the app [I bought the latter 3 kits after completing Step 194 on the D11, but well before I finished construction].
Tonight I finished the D11, and immediately calibrated it and started dozing things in my living room. It's fantastic! I don't mind not using multiple things at once, and am used to the primary controls from farm equipment I used as a teenager. I love the scale of the D11, which allows for a lot of detail, which I also love. So much fun!!! I plan to keep the Liebherr 9800 as an excavator so I can use the D11 and the 9800 in conjunction with the Volvo, to mess with my kids' Lego :D
I like the way you roll!
@@pikewhite Thanks!
The 8258, 8275 and 8043 were the holy trinity for me in that era up until 2012, so you can really call them the heros of 2000-2010 period. They were sets I actually played with, A LOT, and were not display models. 8110, 9398 were also playable, but not as much, probably due to some imperfections in their designs. Clearly the 8275 cannot fairly compete with the post 2010 sets, as it belongs to a different Technic era (which seems to be updated every 10 years)
I own 8043 new, sealed.
I bought a 8043 not long ago to see what the fuss is about and that set really is something special
Another great video as always!
Thanks for finding out and clarifying why the motor wiggle is needed to switch the gearbox... this also means that a direct control physical remote may not be possible at all, and that is very bad news.
I own the good old 8275, I bought it after a long dark age and wanted to build it for x-mas, I have never played so much with a single set before, it was amazing!
Just maybe it is time to build it a third time!
Definitely going to get the Liebherr
Another great video!
Great video, thank you.
My humble opinion: if it hasn't a gearbox, then it is a simple toy. Gearboxes and/or pneumatics are essential features.
I feel like people will start making Mocs for the CAT soon so I’ll take that if I could. It also looks nicer in my opinion. There’s no point in buying something you don’t like the design of just because it has more motors.
If I only had 450 dollars, I’ll just wait for next year and get the 1:8 super cars lol, og technic fans don’t seem to like those but they’re why I came back to LEGO this year
You make some excellent points, but I'll still buy the CAT D11 for the emotional connection of working on them. xD Great video.
Excellent comparison RacingBrick, thank you! I am surprised though that there's no mention of 8043's B model, which is a bulldozer. I built it once and it was SUPER fun. Nimble, easy to pick up stuff and push stuff, and unlike the A model, which needed a switch, its functions could be used at the same time! Not quite as big, nor did it have as many functions as 8275, but still, very fun!
There were many bulldozers over the years, this one was a good example as the first PF RC bulldozer and has a nice connection to the CAT being designed by the same person.
That wasn't a bulldozer, that was a tracked loader.
Thx a lot now I'm waiting for black friday
I love the yellow giant but the leiberr dozer is impressive, I may have to wait for a deal on the Cat
can I move the bulldozer manually? For example, when the hub breaks down.
Mind you with the sets 42100 42131 and 42083 the rough crane
I like the MOC the best
makes me want to purchase 2 other sets of the 42100. purchased the first simply for parts.
I had the first track dozer back in the 80's. Wish I still had it.
856. The price on BrickLink for the parts is reasonable. Had build it some weeks ago.
i think the cat more complex mechanism is great from an engineering perspective but terrible if you just want playability
I would choose b model over Cat given 7 motors 2 hubs cost/function perspective but if you are a collector then having all three is a must have lol
Balazs, hello! Please answer the question. If you were offered the following combinations of motors for motorizing the Raptor, which one would you choose?
2L
XL+L
Unless you want to make it a crawler it won't make much difference, both are fine
@@RacingBrick But what if for driving down the street (on grass, sand, to overcome some small obstacles - to move off the curb, to run over a stone ...)?
I think the liebherr pr 776 is better because it’s smaller has no delay you can use them simultaneously and It looks better thanks racing brick I always look forward for your videos
3:34 does the '6 cylinder engine' add extra horsepower to the dozer? And would the dozer have lesser push force if u removed it?
You must not have built any bigger LEGO model before... Of course it doesn't add power. It is built from bricks and driven by the track motors. It's just there to look cool.
If you remove it you will have slightly more push force, but it might be insignificant.
racing stripes add more power than the fake engine ;)
Of course it adds. Like tons of brick horse power :)
I think people here are da. One's spitting their facts it doesn't and the other is preaching it does. There can be only truth. Either this or that.
Do you know of a truck/trailer combo to put the d11 on?
A real one maybe, this thing is massive
The Liebherr is definitely the BEST! (I speak from experience of building the Cat D11 and the Liebherr 42100
I prefer the C-model of 42121 set by Dyens Creations )) because just using details of this set it is good looking and full featured
Can you do a comparison to the Mould King Bulldozer?
Nope sorry, don't review MK products on this channel
@@RacingBrick what do u think about the large motorized mould king sets?
I'm not interested in them. Last time I checked MK was still producing a lot of stolen MOCs so that's not something I will look into.
Yesss
I tend to agree with you. The Liebherr is a better model all around even though the yellow one is very nice looking.
My opinnion is that the old 8275 the best one is, then the MOC and then the CAT D11
I watched the video because Eric's dozer. It's a reality good ad. :)
The competition was totally open, the CAT had every opportunity to be better and I was happy to "advertise it" as you said. Unfortunately that was not the case, so the Liebherr MOC won this battle for me.
I'm reconsidering the Liebherr set, now that's also discounted.
I hope that you've already purchased it because at least here in Finland it's already out of sale everywhere and collector prices are already going up.
The Yellow Dozer is so much attractive ! Sorry :) I have the two kits , very nieces kits BTW
When first leaks about cat came out i bought Liebherr straight away. Its just a better and more universal set and pieces colletcion
IMHO Liebherr PR 776 the best choice
Definitly the Cat Bulldozer!!!
Next set cat HDTV for 500 UK pounds 3hubs 12 motors 2 per wheel 2 for the dump function oh and 5000 pice count
I can't complain I have them all well the cat will be drag home on the first
Where can one purchase the liebherr776 bulldozer?
No,that one is a custom build
You need to get the liebherr 9800 then download the building instructions from Eric Trax and then build it.
@@deathified Do you know where to get the Liebherr 9800? I can't find it anywhere.
@@jamessaunders7359 I got mine from Amazon at $420. It is retiring at the end of the year, an d prices have increased. You can find one a little above retail price at Amazon if you look now, I believe. I will check Amazon and see.
Alright, I checked. When I said prices have gone up a little, it apparently is $600 now. Should still be worth it, insider info the overpriced motors and the 4000 pieces, but you should not buy it yet until you have seen other sellers other than Amazon. I would suggest not waiting for more than 24 hours if you plan to get it, though. Sorry.
If you don’t want the D11 can I please have it. As I really like these things. Cheers
William
42131
any tips on persuading my wife for buying a second liebherr XD
This set has the most Powered Up components for the price and as it is retiring it will cost hundreds more in a few months :)
@@RacingBrick thx man, second excavator is coming in tomorrow XD
8275!!!
5:55 something the CAT should be having 🙄
The CAT dozer isn’t huge just to be huge… The D11 is the largest bulldozer in the world, that’s why it is so large.
nope,Komatsu D575 & Acco super dozer is way bigger
Fav? It is definitely the D-11T!
-But its held back my underperforming motors for its huge size
-No simultaneous blade/ripper/track operations
-Cant lift itself off the ground
-And slower
I don't know that even 42100 has b model
eyyy
