Ultimate 42009 RC-Mobile Crane

[Jurgen Krooshoop]

Just as I did with the 8043 Motorized Excavator, I made a fully remote controlled and improved version of the 42009 Mobile Crane Mk II set.

All the essential functions of the crane were motorized, which are:

• Driving (1x XL-motor)
  
• Steering (1x M-motor)
  
• Outriggers (1x M-motor)
  
• Outrigger-legs (1x M-motor)
  
• Lifting/lowering boom (1x L-motor)
  
• Extending/retracting boom (1x L-motor)
  
• Lifting/lowering hook (1x M-motor)
  
• Upperstructure 360+ degree rotation (1x M-motor)
  

Funtions that were improved:

1. Boom extends further. Max boom-length 96 studs
   
2. Boom retractrs further
   
3. Better steering-lock
   
4. Solid metal hook
   
5. Increased lifting power
   
6. Faster outriggers
   
7. More efficient drivetrains

Another excellent mod Jurgen!

[FuzzyBallz]

Thanks for the instructions on your amazing recreation Jurgen!

Now to find that extra L Motor. I read it's possible to do it with a M Motor, but I want to do this right. Guess I have to use bricklink for that.

[Edwin Korstanje]

Very great mod's you make for the 42009 and this how the set must be. The music is also great Jurgen .

I can't wait to seen it in action at our Lowlug stand on Legoworld

[Jurgen Krooshoop]

It will be on display at Lego World 2013.

This might be a stupid question but it it possible to retrofit the stock 42009 into this without having to take it all apart? I don't want to spend too much time at this and i know how long it took to build the original. Never mind had a look at the partlist and seems like i have to. Oh well i'll hold of on this for now. I have other things i wanna do first. Anyway thanks for making this. It looks really nice.

[Jurgen Krooshoop]

@EyesOnly:: I'm, afraid you'l have to disassemble your 42009. The differences are drastic, I completely rebuilt the insides of the model.

[skriblez]

Awesome! Thanks a lot for the instructions!

[Ramacco]

The quality of those instructions is amazing!

Very good mod, Jurgen!

[terenshi]

I think the part list is not accurate. For example, I couldn't find the extension cable and metal hook on the additional part list but I found the Engine connecting rod (2852) x 8 which they are already included in the 42009

Parts lists updated, thanks terenshi !

[Theo van Vroenhoven]

Great MOC, will definitely build this!

Q: When I open the partslist in Brickstore I get errors about not existing parts.

Does anybody know how to add these new parts to Brickstore?

I checked and my Brickstore software is up-to-date.

[Alasdair Ryan]

This mod looks very cool,Its a shame you could not of added another stage to the support legs....

Hi Jurgen

Could you add the 42009 ultimate to Rebrickable too? I'm not familiar with Brickstore Database.

Thanks!

[Jurgen Krooshoop]

@ Tech-nick: The model has allready been submitted to Rebrickable. I'm waiting for approval and publication.

[jorgeopesi]

Welldone Jurgen as usual , I like to see how only a XL motor and two wheels can move so easy the crane and the steering is so sweet .

[CisFran]

My additional parts are already on order, can't wait to build this!

[Jurgen Krooshoop]
