Set 42050 Drag racer
Strange design, but plenty of functions and big, big wheels!
Steering, lifting cabin. Moving pistons.
Rear frame holds battery box when using electric motor. Extra weight makes it wheelie when going forward.
Also has a wheelie frame underneath that can be moved down.

From the biggest to one of the smallest. Hardly technical at all. Gear wheel on side lifts the wheels. That’s it.

Another monster. Set 42081, Volvo “Zeus” future concept autonomous digger.
Lego went to Volvo and asked them to design the vehicle as they thought it would be.
In the future, apparently digger drivers will sit in an office and remote drive their equipment.
Model has moving arms, tipping bucket, 4 wheel steering. Rear wheels lower to alter angle of dig, and rear body section extends out to change counterweight balance.
