    As rasikaa explained tracks are about the only feasable option here, you could somehow make a liftarm rotating underneath the "ground" and have another liftarm that slides on that one, but speed would be variable as the character comes closer or moves further away from the center of rotation. But the sliding liftarm would have to have a groove from underneath "ground" to above "ground" and my thinking is that it would get jammer often. A track sound like a really good option. Im curious to see your project on this be cause I must have missed your last project unless this is all one big project in which it sounds awesome.

    Stop it! Your making me want to buy things I can't afford! Wonderful video showing what it's capable of.

    And how many small 28 tooth turntables are in this beast? Should be 2 for the superstructure pivot.
  4. andrewganschow
    ahh thank you, just tested that with a track piece and you are correct.

    ok someone smarter then me look at the top image and tell how the beams are connected to the conveyor because it looks like it should use 2l black pins, but the TAN!! More unnecessary colors?

    USB would be very useful to hook to the buwizz of say a stationary model for analytics of motors, amp draw, Voltage, wattage used, temperature of battery, Etc, through a computer program.

    I believe you hit the nail right on the head my friend.

    Hmm, I wonder if this set contains a new hand pump, and a 5 or 6L pump, both connected to the valves Via a T piece, so you can hand pump it, or motorize the small pump, I see room in the superstructure for it, so it might be possible.

    Gonna take a guess and say that the review might end up containing animations of different functions, high quality renders and photography, hmmm I wonder who that could be.

    to my knowledge the exact number of tread links has not been posted or heard of, but I'd assume 200~250 links is about right, 50 for each driving side, maybe 50~75 for the main conveyor belt, and another 35~50 for the off loading conveyor.

    I think it would be awesome to see the levers drive each function in two directions. Sounds good to me.

    Now that I have my computer setup at my desk with all my beams and bricks, (I have a separate desk for gaming), I've started using more online resources when I build, various ones include sariels gear ratio calculator, his blueprint scaler, and online building instructions to help design mocs and modify sets, so what resources do you all use when you build?
  13. andrewganschow
    When I modify a set I usually look at the part of the instructions where the modifications will be made, see what that area holds together and does. I just put an L motor in the chassis of 42009 to run the outriggers separatly from the superstructure. Found an area that I could gut to fit the motor, then a clear path to route the motor cable, then a clear spot for a switch and battery. Modifications are all about observation of what your working with, limitations of that area, and structures that are attached or attach later to that area.

    now that would be really interesting, although to be ultimate, youd also have to make it 6 or 7 axles, just to be over the top.
  15. andrewganschow
    that is an amazing use of the sequential transmission to transmit power, i was really mind boggled when i read the title and it said only 4 motors.
  16. andrewganschow
    the outriggers are very finicky, I placed a L motor in the chassis, where the superstructure mounts, the axle that comes down I removed, and opened that space in the chassis for the motor, also placed a switch on the chassis, and have to figure out where to put the battery box.
  17. andrewganschow
    I ask this question as I rebuild 42009 every 2 or 3 months, Spend a couple nights to rebuild and reminisce on the experience of the set, the different techniques it offers to build and strengthen a build. I feel that i constantly come back to this set as it ignited the Technic fire inside, it opened me up to the theme. Just curious if others have a similar set or experience that they love to Re-experience.

    looking at that picture, your right it would be to big, if only 8288 was easy to get a copy of to build, ive eyed it for a while, but its to exspensive second hand.
  19. andrewganschow
    yeah the winch sucks, if you replace the clutch gear with a regular one its a little better, but if you use the LAs for lifting it has some strength.
  20. andrewganschow
    well i guess i should get 42009 put back together to help with the assembly of this monster, doesn't look like it'll be to pleasant to try and hold the superstructure and mount it at the same time.
  21. andrewganschow
    Ah ok, I see what your working or now, I don't have experience with those axles, ive just experimented with using the steering axle as a lift axle, a bogie is a really strange setup, never seen one before.
  22. andrewganschow
    If you had the height, you could implement one of 42043 steering axle, replace the shock absorber with small cylinders, they provide plenty of downward force, ( my whole arocs sits on those Cylinders at the moment, and it is extremely stable when there full) but you'd have to find out how to position the cylinder so you wouldn't have interference from the hoses hitting the wheel. That's been my only experience with lift axles, I hope the best to you and your build. You even be able to make that last axle steered.
  23. andrewganschow
    You know with all this nonsense talk about "ultimate" I'm really beginning to think someone at TLG goofed up and called the Porsche ultimate, when they really meant to call 42055 Ultimate. Let's go with that theory to ease the ultimate talk. Just a guess.
  24. andrewganschow
    I can only imagine what this beast will look like when replace the false lights with pf lights, or a different light source, digging bricks at night, then make it full RC so I can clean a path in my Legos to the bathroom.
  25. andrewganschow
    It might make the build harder, but have you considered the rocky boggie suspension, but in an articulated setup so the axles don't need to be steered?
