[moc] green crane truck

[suffocation]

Easing back into building after a couple of dreadful and almost Lego-less years and it's doing wonders for my mental health.

This very basic crane truck is an upgraded hybrid rehash of two older designs. There's no pretence of aesthetics, proportion or whatever, just the fun of building and coming up with something that works reasonably well. Was also really keen on using whatever green this is (medium?) as one of the dominant colours. 

Drive: 1 PF XL

Steering: 1 PF servo

Crane: 1 PF L

Outriggers: 1 Cada small motor

Power supply: Cada battery/remote combo

All crane functions are driven through an old-school selector gearbox. 

All axles feature pendular suspension. 

Cabin and crane doors all open.

That is so cool to see! I love gearboxes in sets although I know that I'd fight so hard building them into my own MOCs. Great work and I also love the colour scheme.

Such a cool little crane!

So many good stuff here: Tight turning radius, full suspension, twin tires on both rear axle, gearbox for crane functions and all work so well!

But I got one complaint for your video: Lifting stuff without the outriggers in place will get you in trouble. Construction site safety authority is already informed.

Hey, glad to see you back on here! It's a very clean looking truck, as usual, and I like the green!

Wow, like it - loooks playable and not for shelf - indeed technic!
Looks accurate! Very well designed!

The only thing I'd fix - the boom in transport position should be horizontal :)
