This is an excellent MOC! The size of it is impressive, as is the level of detail and the functionality of it.

very impressize!

my only concern is the rc drive, as i only see 1 driven axle, with the new style diff

does it really drive without clicking of breaking?

[Badger]

Thats amazing , the only hitch i would say is the gear slip through the new diff

[Erik Leppen]

How on Earth does this boom lift with only two LAs???

For the rest, great looking model. I particularly like the pneumatic outriggers.

[Traktor]

I think he has to to lift the boom up before he extends it, if not, I do not think the LAs would make it. To bad that there is not any bigger/longer LAs. And I do not understand why Lego has not thought of useing that kind og outriggers, so simple, but still very effectiv.

Impressive and beautiful MOC!

This crane is full up of PF motors ...simply amazing!

Now, he has posted a video:

[Cheng Fei]

As usual, it is difficult to MOC a huge mobile crane due to limitation of special LEGO parts such as;

Long size LA: Preferably 9 to 15 stud length motion;

The challenges of building such a MOC includes;

The outriggers: It would be very huge and troublesome to MOC the telescopic type of outriggers;

All wheel drives and all wheel steering;

Weight balancing.

Comment:

I'd say Dikkie Klijn has balanced every aspect very well and used every possible part and piece to mimic a real crane.

GOOD JOB.

I "liked" your video in YT.

[Milan]

Proportions are nice, crane is functional and realistic, colors are just the way I like them for a mobile crane: Yellow and Gray

The only thing I don't like is the chassis...I know studless has to look like that, but it seems very cramped and unorganized, and not very stiff.

Overall, beautiful crane that deserves to be indexed.

[Alasdair Ryan]

Great video to go along with the crane shame he did not lift a load , it was only the spreader beam he lifted

great crane well made great music shame its not mine

[dhc6twinotter]

Fantastic crane! Great functions, great color combo, and love the song on the video.

I'm trying to figure out how 9 functions were accomplished with 8 motors.

This is a really nice crane.

The same mechanism that is found in the 8043 excavator.

The same mechanism that is found in the 8043 excavator.

Yes, he said on LOWlug that he used the 8043 mechanism.

If someone want to ask him something; he is a EB member, but he has 0 posts, but he was last active yesterday

Yes, he said on LOWlug that he used the 8043 mechanism.

Thanks! I was wondering if a mechanism like that was used, but for one extra function, I thought maybe a couple of the functions were doubled up instead. Fantastic!
