Hi @superdog, you're right: there are 5 motors. But you can use one channel for both driving motors if you use a switch (8869) to reverse one of it ;-) You can see the switch on the first pic of this topic in the middle of the cabin. Regards Leonard Goldstein

Your solution looks very smart One little detail you should keep in mind: driving the housing of a differential with one bevel gear fixed runs the other bevel gear with double speed. To compensate this you should have a 1:2 gear ratio on the input side. With the old style diff this is easy: 12:24=1:2. I also tried to find a solution for the new style diff, but did not succeed. The diff hat 28 teeth and there is no 14-teeth cog wheel available ... With the 12:28 configuration of your solution the subtractor will not completely compensate the two input rotations (rotating the super structure with fixed steering wheel will result in a little rotation of the steering output). With your earlier concept you will not have this problem of course. Using the two bevel gears as input and the housing as output might be the easier way. Now I can't wait to see the complete MOC Regards Leonard Goldstein

Hi @ancientpixel, maybe this can solve your problem: The green differential is just used to bring two functions through the turntable: 1. Steering (red) 2. Rotation of the superstructure (green) Both functions are added using another differential (blue). I am not sure if this really works (I am out of LEGO now ). Maybe you have to adjust the gear ratio. I used a similar solution as a subtracter for a tracked vehicle. Regards Leonard Goldstein

Hello eurobricks, today the last parcel was dropped - I am officially LEGO-free. Thanks again for all the feedback and a good time in eurobricks-land. From time to time I will have a look at the Technic-topics. I wish you a merry Christmas and a lot of inspiration for new MOCs Bye bye! Leonard Goldstein

Hi @MattL600, sorry, everything is sold and will get to the post office on Monday ... Regards Leonard

Hi @Skeltertje, wow, that looks great. It seems you spent a lot of time to improve the crane I really would like to test it myself - but on Monday I am "free of LEGO": Have fun with the crane (I did !!). Leonard Goldstein

Hi @evenfall, great, we have a deal You can contact me directly via email: --- Good chance to get it before Christmas Regards Leonard Goldstein

Hello everybody, PM seems not to work for some reason, sorry! (Maybe because you have not enough posts?) Some information about shipping costs: The whole collection as described above will fit into 3 parcels with a limit of 20kg each. Within Europe it will cost 32,- * 3 = 96,- Euro. Tracking and insurance is included. As an example to Sweden it will take about 4 days (hurry to get it before Christmas ). @LeechLord sorry, @evenfall was first . Anyway: The sale of the complete collection is priority 1. As I messaged to @aleh: I started to check some of the sets but it is extremely time consuming to disassemble all the MOCs and rearrange the parts to fit into the single sets. That is why I offer the complete collection for that stupid price Regards Leonard Goldstein

Hi aminnich, thanks - I know shipping to the states is a little bit difficult To all: I updated my offer from yesterday. 1000,- Euro - it's a steal at that price. Only the power functions would cost more then 500,- Euro on eBay Again: Deadline is 15th of December. Snag it! Regards Leonard Goldstein

Hi @pleegwat, I integrated some of your suggestions into to LDD: https://bricksafe.com/files/Leonard_Goldstein/luffing_crane/Luffing-Crane_42055-C-Model_by_Leonard_Goldstein.lxf The gearing for the rotation of the super structure is changed. As there is a change of direction I also moved the bevel gear at the front from top to bottom to compensate this. The pulleys between the legs are no longer needed and I changed the structure like this: Concerning the other changes I am not sure if they can be done within the C model limitation - so lets say they are optional Regards Leonard Goldstein
