Liebherr R974 Pneumatic Excavator

[Sariel]

Here's my model of a classic Liebherr exavator. I'm not overly happy with it, but my primary goal - full remote control of all pneumatics with a high degree of accuracy - was achieved.

Oh, and that custom LED beacon is available here: http://bit.ly/buybeacon

I preffer less bricks but I am happy to see better movements on Lego machinery, there are more than one that works really really bad being nice just at simple view.

Nice. Is there way to display the pressure reading on your phone?

Very Cool Sariel. Watched it with my son and he just said: "Bagger!" It's German for Excavator

Just another master piece

since im a nab with compressors i have to ask, does the hoses have a different length for a reason i.e because of the motion of the compressor? (im talking about the last piece of hosing going from each pair of pumps, hooked up to the T, one are long and another one is short)

Sure. You could put a GoPro in front of the manometer and get a live video feed on your phone.

That was the idea.

Nice! Watched the video yesterday. I need so many pieces that I don't have!

Brilliant as always. Pretty cool warning light addition.

The operation is excellent! I always wondered who was going to manage RC pneumatic model with such great manouvering options :)

The thing I don't like and upon which I already commented in your previous moc tour videos is the proportion. I can't help myself but the arm look considerably small compared to the rest.

really liked the smoothness of the pneumatics and of course the Sbrick control!!

The use of pneumatics in this model is wonderful, looks very real in both pictures and video, well done

Great model! Could you have put a weighted brick in the cabin to even it out
