Dyen Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone, after a few months I finally finished my alternate model from Big Red - set 42082 which is this Reach Stacker. Model has lot of functions, some of them are operated manually and five of them are powered by L motor. It is really huge: 60 cm length, 20cm wide (spreader 34,5 cm!), 27,5 - 39cm for height. Dimensions for container are 26,5 x 12 x13,5 cm. It has fake 6 cylinder inline engine and you can look at it if you open the engine cover on the front, you can also open cabin doors. On the right side you can find lever for operating 3 functions - raise and low the boom, sliding cabin and sliding counterweight. That is first gearbox, second gearbox is in the arm where are two functions - for extend boom and spreader. When you turn motor on, the orange light on the arm starts rotating. Only weak part in this model is steering in my opinion - it has not so big turning radius as I wanted because of that sliding mechanism and if you play with it for a while(driving,steering..) , it can touch a little bit the frame over the rear wheel. Reach stacker in official sets exist only like B model for set 42009( I mean in bigger scale, 42062 is reach stacker too) and that´s why I decided to build this one as a C model from quite big set. All functions are in video.

1gor Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Very nice build. Orange rotating light is very nice touch Quote
fosamax Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Really nice model. The general look is gorgeous and stickers do great justice to the model. Linear actuators limit the max height but you can't get better from a c-model. Did you try mounting the long linear actuators and doubling the front wheels (as a mod) ? Quote
zoo Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Very nice build! I especially like the way you have used the curved gear racks. Bravo! Quote
TeamThrifty Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 My favourite C model for 42082!! It looks really good.. the use of the gear racks is excellent! Quote

Did you try mounting the long linear actuators and doubling the front wheels (as a mod) ? I did not try it, but maybe in future. Sure it would be better with new long actuators (like on the real machine..), but functional spreader without red 8Tgear (that one without friction, which is used in 42009 for this function especially) was quite a challenge to create similar mechanism Quote
Dyen Posted November 6, 2020 Author Posted November 6, 2020 Hi all! If you are interested, my instructions for this C model are on rebrickable now! Model has 3500 parts and 1400 bulding steps! Enjoy the build ! Quote
fosamax Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 Instructions are on a nice level also. Forelock did again a great work with detailed BI including stickers. Quote

fosamax Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 Sure. Anybody can take a look at your 42069 helicopter alternate which got revised BI by forelock and is available for free. Really great work. Quote
