8043 Excavator digging range?

[sed6]

What a fantastic forum! I've spent hours reading and reading and am happy to learn I'm an AFOL and I'm not alone.

In reading about the 8043 I saw a fantastic pic where someone had shaded the complete range of motion of the bucket and arm, but now I can't find it. Does anyone have a link to the pic, post, or thread?

Thanks much!

Conchas' TechnicBRICKS review of the standard 8043 Motorized Excavator construction has a few photos showing the full range of the digging bucket. Scroll to the bottom of that page to see them.

If you want to increase the 8043's range through modifications, consider Out of Sight's "CHEAP and QUICK 8043 Enhancements!"

Thanks for the good links! I just completed Out of Sight's mod and love it.

The pic or post I'm looking for showed an excavator from the side with a large gray area shaded to represent the full limits of travel of the bucket and boom. I can't recall if it was of the stock travel or maybe modded travel, either way I want to review it again.

I'm not sure I remember such a picture for 8043, but Jennifer Clark has such a picture for one of her excavators.
