It is easy for me, if you need non Lego parts then it is not a Lego MOC for me, what is the limit?, wheels, linear actuators, motors. It will be a great MOC but not a great Lego MOC, call me purist.

well done that is the spirit, only Lego parts awesome, fantastic big creation, I am near 270 pounds, can I drive? Good enormous job.

I say in the first post 5 normal motors . The first reason I choose to use gearbox is because I don´t like to do the easy thing, with 8 motors you don´t have much more to think, is very easy to put a motor on each function and in my opinion doesn´t look good also I have more room using less motors and receptors. Another reason maybe that I only have 5 normal motors and 3 receptors . I take some pictures, as you can see I don´t have more room...

Great, great, great idea, for a big dumper or a crane is perfect where the cylinder only has to lift, not so good for an excavator but we will see, nice idea again.

A video can speak better than me , more easy imposible a thread tied and a worm mechanism for raising and lowering the ladder, actually it was my wife´s idea http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ua7ynmO_tNw&feature=plcp Wow my first time in a not spanish blog I am nervous , I am working in the final video but you have this old one with all the functions. Thank you all for your comments I am happy and thinking what will be the next MOC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Iq_UKhSjqU&feature=plcp

Great MOC and great collection of them

8848 my first Technic set long time ago... I was lucky when my father bought it.

Thanks for comments dudes, go heavy machinery go!

At last I finished my machine... There is a open post Front Shovel but it seemed appropriate to open a new one with her ​​finished. The machine is a Caterpillar 6090 which is very similar to terex RH400, I think the only difference between them is in the colors and in the mechanism of the retractable ladder. The Technic MOC works with "only" five normal motors and it has got 8 functions. Each of the 4 motors has got two functions and the fifth only changes between them. First motor - Right track chain and third section of the arm (2 big L.A.). Second motor - Left track chain and second section of the arm (2 big L.A.). Third motor - Retractable ladder and first section of the arm (2 big L.A. again ). Fourth motor - Rotation thanks a big turntable and two 8 tooth gears and open bucket which is powered by an air tank, a pneumatic autovalve and 2 small cylinders. Fifth motor - Gear shift with a small L.A. When I can I will make a video, I hope you like. Thanks for the help and comments. Thanks to Parda for this epic pic .

You are in the perfect place, I am 34 and I came back from my dark ages 2 years ago, I have learn much around here.

Failed projects also have much to teach, I know from my experience

I have done a normal D11, great idea with a side boom. My D11 Buf... I have done too much tracked machines... D11, 6090, High Speed Dozer and I tried with a Challenger... I have to take a rest with another supercar...

I think is possible to do it, if you look for shovel machines at bricklink you can see awesome and big lego machines. If someone has done a wheelchair strong enough to carry a person, not like me , I think is possible to do the digger. The challenge maybe the big and strong turntable you need, sorry about or for my english

The sandvik digger machine is amazing... maybe one day I will do it, I love all the tracked machines

Good video maybe a little long, I will try to something like you with my machine

I think you will have to wait until march if you want to buy them at Lego´s shop...

Awesome both bikes, impresive work without space.

I agree with Erik Leppen, 8880 is not very playable but anyway is my number one flagship, maybe because I only like the construction part. When I was a boy I didn´t like to play with sets or my MOCs and now is the same.

One more video before the finishing touches http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Iq_UKhSjqU&feature=plcp

Looks really good, I am looking forward to see this project.

The unimog wheels are perfect for loaders, good job I like it.

8043 and 8421 of course.

Oh, looks really good with the unimog wheels, here we are a awesome entire Lego MOC Now we have to test the small wheels outside

Nice creation, can you show us some pics with the unimog wheels?.

Great video nice movement.
