I have made a step-by-step instruction with pictures. It is quite simple and you don't need many lego-parts. I divide it into 2 building-parts: You can do all of the motorization. Or you can do only one part. If you want to motorize 2 or 3 parts, you need 1 battery pack and 1 infrared receiver only. Motorization the chassis Motorization the arm and the shovel The turntable is in progress!!! I just have to test if it works...

Hi, unfortunately it ist not possible yet. May be in future...

Hi, to align the gears you can do the following: If you have for example a Z20 gear. That means it has 20 tooths. It has also 20 blanks. If the tooths of the second gear matches with the tooths of the first gear, you have to rotate it to the blank: One complete rotation means 360 degrees. 20 teeths means, the gear has got a teeth every 360/20 = 18 degrees. The blank is in the middle: 18/2 = 9 degrees. So if you rotate one gear by 9 degrees, it should match to the other gear. It could happen, that you have to try slightly other values, if the tooth don't match exactly. I hope it could be understood...

Hi, if I want to visit the site, my anti-virus program tells me the following: What is it? Is there a malware?

Hi, I am proud to introduce the Lego Technic 8294 - Excavator Excavator 8294.lxf Here are some changes to the original building instruction: Es gibt einige Änderungen gegenüber der Original-Bauanleitung: Bauphase 16: 6er Stange muß 5 mm tief bis Anschlag in Winkelstein reingeschoben werden. In LDD nur 1 mm möglich Step 16: Cross axle 6 must be pushed completely into the angle beam (5 mm of depth). In LDD there is only 1 mm possible. +++ Bauphase 21: Weißer 3-fach Stein muß um 90° in der Mitte gedreht werden. Step 21: White technic lever 3M must be turned by 90 degrees in the middle. +++ Bauphase 34: 5er Stange muß durch äußeres Loch von Linear-Aktuator. Step 34: Cross axle 5 must pushed through linear-actuator. 8294 - Excavator.lxf

Hi, it would be nice, if the linear actuator could vary in its length.

Hello there, it is impossible to rotate the gear (Z24) 360 degrees.

Hi everybody, are there any wishes/ideas for models to built? There are many old technic themes for example, which could be interesting (the plotter 8094).

Hi, before I updated LDD, and before I added the "Lego Universe"-function, it worked!!!

Hi Zblj, could you please describe, how I can rotate the gears? And what is the rod for (behind the gears)? Thank you. Best regards, laserman.

Hi all, if I place the motor and save the file, the motor is gone with the next loading of the file. "1 Baustein war nicht richtig platziert und wurde vom Modell entfernt" "1 brick was misplaced and was removed from model" I can place only 1 motor at the screen. Or I can attach it to severel axles. It is the same effect. Perhaps someone has an idea? Thanks. Greetings.
