Ultimate 8043 SBrick Building Instructions

[Jurgen Krooshoop]

With the help of Alez Zeimet (AFOL1969) and Strikeman, I've created full building instructions for the SBrick-version of the Ultimate 8043 Motorized excavator. Go to the instructions-page to get them.
It wasn't just a matter of exchanging the Power-functions with SBricks. Because of the different shape of the SBricks and the fact that there are 4 PF-connectors on top, the SBricks didn't fit. So I rebuilt the U-8043 and modified it so that 2 SBricks would fit neatly inside the model. And the profile I created for the Link Belt 250 X 3 excavator worked perfectly with this model as well.

Well done, instructions look very good!

Now it is extra tempting to buy an SBrick....

Do you have an updated partslist available?

I suppose it is not the same as the original U8043?

Great work, Jurgen

The instructions look very clear and show an improvement, as my instructions are an early work where I was at the beginning to get common with MLCAD/LPUB.

Thanks for updating these instructions, I'm currently rebuilding my U8043 into a S8043.

Is the backhoe loader on the radar for a Sbrick revision?
