Hello and welcome to the page!   One of my favourite sets ever!

It became a part of my collection in a veeery long and hard way several years ago.

I was thinking to motorize it several times. Simply install several motors was easy deal, but I wanted a suspension also. This requires fully rebuild the chassis.

So, initially I built a completely new scale RC chassis, then adapt it for 8285 outriggers, that adapt it for the 8285 crane then adapt it again for the 8285 cab.

I tried to keep as much from original iconic 8285 as possible. None of the 8 PF motors is visible :blush:

One BIG battery box + 2 sBricks OR two sbricks 2.0 can be used to manage al 8 channels. The only manual feature is a pneumatic polarity switcher, because it would be a 9th channel.

Full suspension, rear based on 42043 Arocs set.

  • Servo for steering
  • 2 XL for drive
  • M for outriggers
  • L for pump
  • M  for winch
  • L for crane raise
  • L for boom extensionin

Please enjoy!

Truck now uses 6 soft shock abosorbers. To keep it higher it will be enough to replace first rear axle to yellow shock absorbers.
