Doesn't that make reeving difficult?

I am also interested in the possibility of using the V frame, for either the LR13000 or 11000. Yes, keep us posted of your progress. Still nothing has been presented to me to warrant enough interest to justify the cost of this set. But.... using the V frame system just might....

Surprised this is not getting more attention. I think this is brilliant. TY for the upload. I have been so engaged in building others work for some time I haven't done anything original for a while. That being said, I really would like to add this to my collection.

Just saw your video. I love this entry and the amount of time that went into playing, errr... *cough* *cough* I mean... making the video. Very good entry IMO.

Lol...that's the funny part. I'm not on here much anymore but obviously, even considering that, I DID remember. That's how much you've posted it.

Lol.... I am not sure you have stated this, or some variant, enough. Perhaps you should post this on more of the new space set threads. Seriously though, I think we get it

TY Jerry. And the unit off to the right is BW 1.0 - correct?

Hello Everyone.... quick question... I researched online but was unable to find an answer, and my memory does not serve me well. Can anyone remind me of the distinction between these two BuWizz models?

Not sure it needs its own post, but yes, these counterfeit sets are all over the place. I do not see them in the states, at least in our brick and mortar stores often, but they are all over online.

Ha! Great stuff... how many motors did you use? L, XL? Any possibility of getting some details of the steering, axles, and perhaps the reduction you used to drive/steer this beast?

CADA > Lego. At least for the Technic genre, IMO. I feel almost as if we are witnessing some major changes in the building block toy industry.

Haven't been on this site for a while but glad I stopped by. This is a great build and thats awesome you are offering instructions. These are the Technic builds I like. Nothing overly complicated, but teach basic mechanical and physical lessons that offer tons of playability. Great post (not to mention I think we both have a thing for cranes).

So I finally got around to completing this build and creating a little video. So happy I did. Very awesome build. Here are a few of my observations: - @blaz62 I'm not sure you mentioned in your presentation about the locking diff locking to two rear axles. It is obvious from the drivetrain pic you posted but this is such an awesome function. I demonstrated the utility of this in my video near the end. Driving on rough carpet approaching a rug the vehicle could not overcome the rug driving only the one axle. But switching to all 3 drive axles and it drove up the bump flawlessly. - No joke the torque on this is quite impressive. I used two of the Mouldy King L motors, which are more powerful then Lego L PF motors, and as can be seen in the video, I could climb a 22 degree slope with 1500 grams in the back. Quite impressive indeed given that no real semi would attempt a 22 degree slope hauling a load. Or at least, it is not common to climb that grade here in the US. - The crane is a lot of fun to play with. I spent hours making the video. Usually I am not a fan of filming, but I enjoyed playing with this model enough to make the process enjoyable. Strong crane. I also lifted some relatively heavy things. Had it lifting my Megalodon teeth collection (silly, I know, but diving/excavating for teeth is my other hobby) (pic below) - Also don't think the OP mentioned the working windshield wipers. Again, another plus. Working doors as well. OP already posted the other functions, I thought I would just add these as they are not listed in the initial posting. Wonderful build @blaz62. Highly recommend. Looks impressive among my collection. Sure I will be keeping it around for quite some time.

As others have said, great build. I really enjoyed the video as well. I could see the realism in this build as it dug in, climbed, etc. Great choice of rims and tires, certainly added to the build. Functioning looks great. Right now I am in the middle of a large build, (not my own, other's MOC) but I can't forget these smaller builds. In many ways they are superior to large builds in that they do not tax the limits of ABS as much, can offer superior functionality, and require thinking-outside-the-box to solve puzzles that require small spaces. Job well done.

Great build. I have the 2023 m240i, which is considered an m-lite version of the 2-series. It has some characteristics, though obviously not all, of the M4. But being very familiar with the M cars (we took the performance classes locally - we live near the SC plant, where we got to drive the M4, M3, etc.) I really enjoy what you have done here. The front is instantly recognizable, large kidney grill, the headlights, etc. Great job on this. I fantasize about being able to do the M2; if I ever did perhaps I will use this as inspiration.

I missed reading and watching the video from the first race! Looks like a lot of fun. I also like how you really broke down the scores and analyzed the results. Love these types of gatherings and events. Here in the states (US) there is not a lot of this type of stuff going on.

Hey Everyone - Most on here, if not all, know about Mitsuru Nikaido's inspiring Mech animals. If you don't, I recommend checking out his stuff. Anyways, here is my own Mech creature, inspired by his builds. Typically I build with Technic, but I venture to space/Sci-Fi builds every now and then. Fragile build, but it does hold together. I thought I also would need two stands to have it held upright but surprisingly I was able to make it balance pretty well.

I know this is somewhat frowned upon here, but on FB there are large groups dedicated towards more shelf-queen presentation of MOCs and official builds. Chroming or offering new wheel sets are a big deal. If you just do a simple search you will find some, but also b/c FB algorithm you will then be presented with a near infinite array of ads thereafter. Here is just one example: http://bubul.unasshop.com/spl/909883/Wheel?infinite_page=2 Also, you may consider to reach out to @Lox Lego. He probably would be a good contact given he does so many builds with custom and chromed parts. Especially wheel sets.

I have said this before on this and other threads. I own the LaFerrari and Centenario. I don't see myself ever buying a LEGO UCS supercar again. We'll see how other sets go. But for me, CADA is very exciting.

This is exciting. Watching th8s like the release of Lego flagship.

I saw this previously I believe on FB. Wonderful alternative build. Been wishing this for a while now, but now REALLY wishing I had bought this set when it was in production. ALso, ditto to @SaperPL's comment. The extending ladder was a wonderful surprise.

This. And... on top of it, from what I gather from your posts you welcome the "ambassador" role. Please show everyone and demonstrate that you are not over your head. Being an ambassador is very different than a talented builder. You have already demonstrated the latter, show that you can be the former. For context, I built your P1 model and it was fantastic. Equally impressed by the Italian Supercar you designed. You have checked that box. But, now you are spearheading a movement in the area in which you are especially talented, and spearheading a movement, company, etc. is not the same as just being talented in that area. It requires balance, patience, people skills, etc. You may not want those responsibilities; which would be fine. But then don't pose as the ambassador for CADA. You can't have your cake and eat it too, unless there is some growth on your part. @Sariel is mentioned. And I know I am walking on thin ice here so I will be brief. Again, for context, as a builder I am a big fan of Paul's. It was his creations that got me back into Lego after a 35 year hiatus. Personally, I miss his presence here on EB (when he was appropriate). The tools, etc. he provides on his website are terrific aides. But his online communication skills, overall just-being-decent-human-being skills were lacking at times, and his channel and overall influence in the Lego community has sharply declined. Don't be like that. That is not the example to follow.

Forgot about this. Glad you bumped it. Great build. I wish I had time to build it.

If you run into any questions, feel free to reach out. As can be seen earlier in this thread, I too, love this build and have built it. I still have it displayed in my Lego room

Saw this on FB. This is the version I would like to build. No special truss pieces needed. Boom seems to be out of regular LA.
