42146 - Liebherr LR13000
Snorrowitz replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I get that people are disappointed about the short boom lenghts. One tall boom without luffing jib would have been more realistic, but the jib offers a lot of cool functionality. i think this is an understandable compromise to keep this functionality, while still having a reasonable stable crane. It is also not that unrealistic. I've seen one with shorter booms used for a heavy lift, not very high, but at some distance. The choice for counterweight placement does seem weird. I guess it's also to keep stability, without adding a second weight pack, but it looks off. Personally, if i ever buy the set (this will only happen with substantial discounts), i would use the parts for the jib to extend the two booms and add a custom build jib. I would also place the counterweight closer to the center and add a second weight behind the crane. -

I keep on seeing this argument, but it really didn't take me long to find this image. Same boom config, same red accents... -

Keep in mind that those prices are excluding taxes. Including taxes it's more than the Lego price. Delivery dates are odd though... -

42099 - 4x4 X-treme Off-Roader
Snorrowitz replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Yup, it is. And I stand corrected. Dark Yellow is what they called it, if I am not mistaken. Is it? I happen to be building the 42096 Porsche today an I noticed that the yellow of the cilinder heads an crank shaft end pieces are a darker yellow than normally. Might it be the same as the "new" technic color? -

42100 Liebherr R9800 Excavator
Snorrowitz replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
It seems pretty obvious to me that one hub in the superstructure controls the 3 articulations of the arm (3 pairs of XL LAs) and the opening of the bucket (1 pair of small LAs). The second hub is most likely to be in the undercarriage driving the 2 tracks and for slewing. Since Lego has never done a subtracter And subtracters are difficult to execute I suspect direct drive (or with some reduction) on the tracks. -

Trying to read about the 42100, but it seems that most of this topic is about the Control+ system. Maybe it's time for a dedicated control+ topic? -
42082 - Rough Terrain Crane - MODs and improvements
Snorrowitz replied to Cumulonimbus's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Got this baby for Christmas and although it is an awesome set I think it needs improvement. My plans with this model are as follows: Fully motorize all functions: Drive, of course keep the 4WD 3 mode steering outriggers: ultimately 2 stages, lets how we can get this done super structure rotation boom height boom length winch Add a three stage boom Increased range for the boom metal hook independed suspension Claas tires I started by motorizing the super structure and enhancing the boom with an Efferman inspired 3 stage boom. I realize I'm not the first one to have done this, but I didn't see it on this forum yet. The boom is now 6 panels long. I'm not shure if it is maybe one panel too long. It seems that some real life cranes have similar proportions. This is what it looks like in transport mode: And fully erect: I was happily surprised that the LA's were able to lift this super heavy boom (albeit only in retracted state). Due to the limited range of the LA's the maximum height is now 120cm. I'm planning on using the Firgelli actuators to increase the range. Next year we may possibly do this with the new long LA's from the 42100. This should get the hook up to 150cm. Also note that the hook is modified with the metal hook. There are now 4 large motors in the super structure that which are powered by a Buwizz unit. Making this part RC was surprisingly easy. Removing the gear boxes gives plenty of room for the motors and Buwizz. the 3th motor is vertically placed right behind the Buwizz, directly underneath the worm gear, while the 4th motor is deeper inside. I'll continue modding this set, starting with the Firgelli actuators. I feel than the easy part is done. Motorizing and adding suspension to the under carriage will need a lot more modding. I feel the under carriage. Will also need to have some improved stiffness, since it is bending quite a lot already. I'm wondering if more people are modding this model. Ideas and input are very welcome. To be continued.... -
