Alternatives to the A and B versions of 8052 Container Truck

[korral]

Nice just finished building it. Only thing I changed is replacing 3 long axle with 5 long, where LA is mounted to platform. My son is playing with it right now, so we'll see how sturdy it is :)

I have never seen anything that stupid with LEGO Technic. Thank you DLuders.

[Zerobricks]

Agreed with grohl. Poor Lego, dislike.

[JunkstyleGio]

This video is a good example of a bad idea going to its worst!

I would never let fire or extreme heat go near to my lego-stuff.

If you listen closely you can hear the "filmmaker" saying "OH S**T" in slowmotion!

Serves him right i would say!

And he probably didn't pay attention in "Firefighting 101": never put water on a oil based fire!!!!!

Not broken, but I bet it was burned.

Let me take the freedom of hijacking this topic to propose another alternative model of this set: my own :P

And where is the truck?

[JunkstyleGio]

Guess this is just a teaser....

We have to wait then...

[grohl]

Do I see two light bluish grey 16t gears behind the black 20t double bevel?

[efferman]

i see them too

[grohl]

8052 is known for its lack of gears, but adding any parts to the model does not make it alternate anymore.

[Erik Leppen]

it's not a one set moc. It's an addition to the original set to expand the model. The picture shows that pretty obviously, as it clearly shows "[picture of 8052] + [picture of trailer]". Similar to when sets to [set number] + [motor set number]. It's not meant to be an alternate model. It's just a trailer to put behind the original 8052.

You can find instructions for telehandler built as alternative model from this set here.

[Tazio]

I'm building a car out of it, using nothing but this pieces. Since it is my first MOC after a LONG time, it might take a while to finish.

[DLuders]

@ Tomik: Your instructions are very clear and well-made. Thanks for sharing them!

I have compiled all 50 pages of his 8052 alternate's Building Instructions into one 4.2-MB PDF file -- download it here via MegaUpload SkyDrive.
