Yalta Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) Hi all, been reading eurobricks for a long time. It is a great source of information and new ideas. I have recently built set 42082, the mobile all terain crane. I have some queries and comments I would like to share. I think that the outriggers do not match this type of crane, they are also quite weak as they use small LAs, has anyone modified them? the chasis appears to be quite flexible where the axles meet the section with the turntable mounted. has anyone managed to reinforce this? finally the clutch gear for lifting the hook slips far too easily, has anyone managed to re engineer the gearing to reduce this happening? I have achieved this to some extent but it is not neat and I have had to move the battery box back (although this does help it be a more effective counterweight) Although this may appear to be negative it is not, I think the crane is great and a major improvement on my previous set 8460. I would welcome any photos or info from anyone who has built this set and managed to improve it at all. Thanks in advance. Edited April 4, 2020 by Yalta Quote
