Errors in Lego Instruction Booklets

[Crtlego]

I was building my brand new 8043 excavator and I noticed that there were errors.. not in the actual order of steps or putting a piece in the wrong place.. but as in actual "graphical" errors. After all the years of building I have actually never seen any so I thought it was interesting to actually find some. I created this topic to see if anybody else has noticed any "errors."

First.. Included in the 8043 are a new version of the gray 16-tooth gears. The change is in the look of the place that the axle slides into it. The first reference to this piece is on page 20 step 7.. If you look at the gear it is the old version.. not the new one..

Second... On page 51 step 10.. Two M Motors are installed.. If you look inside the tan box with two steps.. the motor on the right is messed up where the axle would normally be placed. When looking at the motor in any of the steps this error is gone..

I have not finished building and am still on booklet A so there might be more errors that I will run into..

Its not a big deal at all but I just thought it would be an interesting topic.

While not solely about Technic booklet errors, there is a thread here.
