Motorized Excavator

[steph77]

Hi everyone,

Let me present to you a model of one full motorized excavator.

That excavator is using a single L PFS motor and reversed gearboxes able to run all functions at the same time.

I build that one few month ago, maybe some of you have already seen the vid on you tube.

I only present the vid here, pictures are not possible anymore since this model has been put in parts some weeks ago.

Embedded video. Maybe caused by https?

This is a motorized 42006 Excavator, right?

Any other modifications, besides motorizing it?

Thanks Jim for ediding my post. I'll try to understand what was wrong.

This is absolutely not an 42006.

I use the arm of that set, but larger. The whole set is larger than the 8043.

The motorisation of the set is the first interrest of it.

I use one only L motor that is able to run all function at the same time

The engine is able to put all the function and movement in every direction without intervention on the switch BB.

The playability is thus much more efficient.

Not sure either. Think it might had something to do with https instead of http. (not tested)

This is absolutely not an 42006.

Looking at it more closely I notice the differences. I don't own the 42006, so I had to take a good look.

Great build! Seems to be raining excavators

I really like How you made this.

I don't think that the clutch gears will live long this way.but there are plenty of them out there .

just maybe if there is room you could motorize the cabin tilt and it will be really finished.

All and all really nice excavator.
