probably something like this in a 24 stud wide scale. a 2100 would be cool. or i use it at my Scania longtime project or a complete differnt thing what i built in real life, 10 years ago good night

Milan, i think mine will now grow a bit slower. I need the right parts before i could proceed in a bigger one, i will try it, but not in this little thing. this will be a old school, hand driven model. not every vehicle must be remote controlled.

hm, looks a little bit weak, but when you say that the hold the hole crane in air, then it is strong enough. p.s. i have pics from my final outriggers in my ac40 thread

the small one have a very good chance but with 7 studs width is it little bit wide for the scale. the outer box must became a little bit narrower. 1,2m in the original Size are too much. a big edit: i think i have found my outriggers for this moc. a stabilizer base of 36 studs. it looks not to big and it could lift the Crane from the Ground. Currently it is not complete integrated, but here are some pics More pics at the Brickshelf folder when it is online again. But for the front outrigger i must now buy Parts. Comments, questions and suggestions are welcome.

thanks the AC40 clone will be 16 studs wide, 18-20 studs high and roundabout 50-55 studs long. it will have the same scale like my 7to mil gl and i hope it could be lifted by the AC40 clone

Sorry for the double posting. Milans liebherr let me think about the problem, how i could hide the Pneumatic Hoses. And i think i have a good modular solution for my future Projects. Currently it is 20 studs wide and allows a extension of 13studs at each side. The only hook is the width of the outer outrigger box. With its 9 studs width, it looks a bit to heavy for small cranes like the ltm 1050. now enough of the words, i let pictures talk. More pics at the folder when it is online again. comments, questions and suggestions are welcome ciao p.s. no, for the current project it is to big

maybe, maybe not. anyone must try it, to be sure. @ milan looks much better than before. have you a bigger picture of your extra thin outrigger boxes?

jes, i am a little bit faster than a snail

sorry, i dont know what you mean

if the pneumatic cylinder is in Air, then it is only a beauty problem.

so it is done the visible part is only 4,5 studs wide

i think this vid will it explain. sorry for low res. the battery of the hd cam is empty the pneumatic valve is in the position to pull the cylinder in. it must go heavier than the outrigger. then the outrigger will extend to its maximum. the diff is now switching the pneumatic valve to extend the cylinder . to go in driving position the valve must going easier to switch as the retracting of the outrigger(rubberband?). when the valve is switched, the outrigger will be retracted. questions? Do you want pics?

i think this is easy. give me time till tomorrow

how wide could the outriggers be? 3, 4, 5 studs? your one channel problem is easy to solve. first extend the outrigger, then expands the stabilize cylinder automatic. 15 years ago this was a normal use to save functions at the hydraulic steering block.

RC complete Mechanical or with pneumatics?

you dont want using expandable outriggers in this big scale?

thanks for the info btw, i have some pics from my outrigger concept. Sorry for so many colors, first it must work more pis in the folder when it is online again. actually the complete stabilizers have the dimensions 7x6x15 studs. With extended outriggers the length is 31 studs. The "stabilize cylinders" expands nearly 4 studs and they are locked by the axle connector with the 2L axle in it. comments, questions and suggestions are welcome ciao

i did not could find any wrong info. good work

good question, maybe it will become only a simple city crane. maybe it becomes some strange functions. i dont know at this time. Currently i think about how i could make the outriggers to fit them in scale and let it work properly. The final place for the steering wheel is (hopefully) in the drivers Cab and rather sure at a flashing light at the superstructure. the boom will be probably lifted by four pneumatic cylinders, or four linear actuators.

maybe, english is not natural for me and "dogwalk" is imho the direct translation of "Hundegang". That is the only (so far as i know) description in germany, what are used by the owners of mobile cranes in my bussines enviroment.

In this point the description is a little bit inaccurate. There are two modes: Normal steering with the small turning circle and the dogwalk, which let shows all wheels in the same direction.

the redesign of the steering system is complete. Double bevel gears make the switching, between the dogwalk and normal steering, easier. A lever holds the switch axle on its position. here some pics (thumbnails) more pics at the Brickshelf folder when it is online. If one of you wants to rebuild it, make sure that all axles are in the same direction, to make the switching possible. Here is a little movie comments, critics or suggestions are welcome.

sounds like a lottery

maybe the sandhill crane is no crane in the eyes of tlg. and mine was maybe to primitive

absolutely awesome. i love the design of the truck.
