As an alternative build for 42114 this is brilliant and if you ever decide to pure MOC it, I would certainly be a starter. In a previous life I was more familiar with the Terex TS-14, a rather smaller beast also with twin engines, hence the interest in creating a working model. My build is on the shelf beside the Liebherr 776 dozer and your skid steer, so am definitely a fan for your designs.

I have just completed this MOC - an interesting build and use of the available parts - my hope that Eric could solve the gooseneck problem I was unable to solve in my efforts was disappointed as this one is rigid in the vertical plane. Definitely looks good and great attention to detail. To answer your queries - as far as I can see there is only one speed regardless of what the Control+ screen indicates (!, 2, D). Alas, when the ejector reaches its limit the rear wheels lock up, and only reversing the scraper (seldom done in real life) will return it, or using the manual option. Wonder if Eric will do something similar in CADA with no part restrictions at some stage. Truly hope so!

Looks awesome - have been waiting for a twin scraper for years after earlier attempts never quite made it.

The only Technic twin scraper I was able to find was this one: I was able to build it from the video, about 1500 parts, but was never able to get the motors and hidden gearing to work. Tried changing it to pneumatics later with limited success, but certainly performed nicely in the video. Nothing I would like better than to find a good design of one of these monsters.

No problem - expanded the RC trailer with a few adjustments and now it fits nicely.

Really enjoyed building this model - so many clever ideas. Alas, I then built the Mini RC trailer for it without looking at the dimensions - total misfit, my bad. Did you create a trailer for this one by any chance.

Richombx - it is likewise a pity that your manners are also narrow - some of us (and I am 82) do not cope well with cellphones and find programming the PU for MOC's a painful exercise. I have both systems and still find PF more practical on a day to day basis. So - to each his own, and try to show a little respect in future.

Just finished the build - given that it is a C model the range and execution of functions is truly excellent. Decided to add the turntable - is the restricted rotation arc characteristic of the type of truck? Very impressed with your work Dyen - have done 3 of your designs to date - well done each time. A very well presented .pdf as well by Forlock.

I am halfway through building your SV and waiting for more parts to arrive - is it worth pausing at this stage and making your new model?

42098 is also worth a look - lots of parts and a string of alternative builds on Rebrickable or 42108 if into cranes etc.

Having built 42096 with various mods, looked at the incorrect proportions, tore it down and built JamesJT/Geyserbricks MOC-35921. Very satisfying build and a great result.

@fosamax - of the 3 cranes of this type I have built I would rate M_Longer's alternate from 42043 the best, followed by Dyen's with 42108 a poor last (even with M_longer's improvements).

Having built both I found Dyen's one a more interesting build, and the grandchildren were most impressed by it as well. Only purchased the car transporter set so I could build the garbage truck. Well done Dyen.

Thanks @Agrof - the suspension patch is brilliant and the end to an enjoyable build now all the parts have finally arrived. Have also completed the Hot Roadster which was a big nit with the grandchildren!!

8043 came with V1 receivers - I converted mine to the Ultimate version which also used V1's.
