8043 Monster Mod

[Alasdair Ryan]

Well as promised here is my tweaked 8043.

I found out that i could use just one mini motor for grap (it slews 360 then closed by its self but only one way as the other opens it.)

The bucket doesn't spin, but tilts.

Changes:

Got rid of the gear change thing so now all funtions can be controlled at the same time.

New cab.

extended the whole upper section by about 2 studs.

Made/fitted grab and tilt bucket.

Added an Xl motor for boom.

Added an small motor for slew.

Added two more pf receivers.

Added a hand rail.

The video's are not the best as i am recording while driving.

Having a wheelie good time with the grap.

Comments Welcome.
