8258 Crane Truck gearbox schematic
Andy D posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I am currently working on the 8258. It is a fantastic set! I am enjoying it more now than I did back in 2009-2010 when I built it the first time (maybe because I have built more sets). Anyway, the gearbox and functions are great, but, I like the way the gearbox on the 42042 functions better, where one control controls both directions of a function. I am not a fan of the change directions by changing the electrics, it just makes more sense (to me) to use the same control for both directions of the function. So is am thinking maybe I can redesign / rebuild the gearbox so that each of the 4 functions are controlled by individual great trains and eliminate the power reverser switch. I was also thinking that (if one exists) that a gearbox / mechanical functions schematic / render would help me to see what is going on with the gearbox and mechanicals. Not a requirement for me just handy. So does anyone know if a schematic for the 8258 functions exist? Thanks so much Andy D
