That looks like a neat set Sunhuntin!
It looks like the new chassis is almost identical to the previous generation ones except that the side where there is no battery is 'sliced' off. My guess is that the old Big Loader shells will work fine with the new chassis but the new shells may not work with the old chassis . The photos on your site don't show the underside of the shells so I can't be sure if the 'sliced' off sides allows the shells to sit better on the new chassis.

Hi Plarnold....how you been doing?
RE: Big loader - sunhuntin - 01-18-2021
good point, plarnold. next time i get them out, i will take photos of the undersides. if memory serves, other than the "slice" they were identical.
RE: Big loader - Super - 01-18-2021
I am anxious to see the results if the new can work with the old as I am sure that others that have a non-working set will be thrilled to know

I'm trying to source a reasonably priced John deere set so I'll let you know if the new chassis works with the older shells
RE: Big loader - Super - 01-18-2021
The John Deer set sounds like its right up your sons alley Iain
Look forward to seeing a test of old and new.

Hi, maybe I'm mate but I had the same trouble with our old Big Loader and my grand son ;-) teeth were used on "tires"
first the John Deer chassis works, but all other parts are crap, new plastic is too soft
I have succesfully 3D printed replacement "tires" for the original Big Loader if needed https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5264372
