Hello,
as the new V2 pneumatics has been released I thought would have been nice to use them to create something amazing! I've been making swing arm cranes for more than 15 years and I love pneumatics aswell! So why not!
- Scale of the cranes fits the 42043 Arocs,
- Special sections designed for these cranes allow to have 4 extensions of the main boom in a 5X5 size boom!!!
- They are WIP so although I've built them they need lots of tests to make sure work fine before make instructions!
- they refer to real cranes, but obviously there are few compromises here and there!
- Routing the hoses it's hard, but will get there don't worry!
- There is a third and a fourth crane coming aswell so I'll update this topic time to time!
- They will all be full RC cranes!
- I'm designing a 8X8 MAN truck to suite the cranes, plus a subframe between cranes and truck as the real ones! (Huge subframes)
Pics of the built ones will come soon, at the moment I don-t have all the parts on the right color so they look like a rainbow :tongue: (ordered parts so soon to complete them!
There are both pics of the real crane and my LEGO version so you can compare them!

The other one I'm working on it's a EFFER 2750:

Enjoy, TheItalianBrick!
