The LEGO set 42175 Volvo FMX Truck & EC230 Electric Excavator offers an exciting platform for creative alternate builds. With its extensive range of technical components like gears, axles, and pneumatic parts, the set allows builders to reimagine various machinery and heavy-duty vehicles. An alternate build could transform the FMX truck into a versatile off-road truck or a cargo hauler with a trailer, emphasizing the mobility and functionality of an industrial workhorse. Meanwhile, the excavator’s components can be used to construct different types of construction equipment, such as a bulldozer or a compact crane, showcasing the mechanical intricacies of movement.

By experimenting with the parts, you can create unique models that maintain the industrial essence of the original set while introducing new mechanical features and designs.
