husko Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Hello guys! After a quick search on the internet I was surprised how few pneumatic mods of the 8043 there are. As powering the boom with pneumatics seems somehow natural, I had a go at it myself. I can't be bothered to describe it at length, you'll figure it out. Let me just say that the base remains original, the gearbox is manual, the arm is about as powerfull as the LA version, it's movements are quicker, however it is difficult to operate the pneumatic valves via the RC, so precision is at a loss. there's also a fun video: Bye!

Tazio Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Looks amazing, congrats on the mod. Now, your video is only making me want this set even MORE, and that is not a good thing hahaha. Cheers. Quote

Technic Gearhead Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Nice work! Thanks for the bump as I wasn't around for the first one. I feel like I should go build up an 8455 with all LA's right now. Quote
