suffocation

Are those yellow 3L pins with bush attaching the actuators to the arm?

Folks concerned about the model being too large to be playable would do well to check out Desert Eagle's BWE from 2016.

Just as I imagined - the usual PC codswallop.

If you're ever travelling through northern Italy hit me up and we can indulge in my speciality, Pasta alla Norma! Always beer Grazie mille! (wielding a bottle of Sagrantino di Montefalco here) More beer! Thank you! The previous model had quite a few shortcomings, so improving was easy Thank you! Not proud, but definitely toasting a few times too many

Looks great so far! Love the modular approach. As for the L motor, its size from front to back varies: the first 2 studs are 3x3, then 4 studs of 4x3 and 1 last stud of 3x3: Don't underestimate the power of M motors: with proper gearing and leveraging they can accomplish quite a lot.

This is my second rough terrain crane. My first one was a bit of a disappointment for me, mainly because of its boxy appearance. I know this one is far from eye-candy but I do think it's a step forward. This thread chronicles the painful gestation of my latest silliness. Before rambling on any further, I'd like to thank all the folks who have gone out of their way to help me out with my clumsy, whimsical builds, especially @I_Igor and @Erik Leppen. Your poise, selflessness and creativity are exemplary. The crane is entirely remote-controlled (2 x BuWizz for the carrier; 3 IR plus 1 LiPo for the superstructure) and features the following functions: - 4x4 drive with planetary hubs (4 L motors geared down 11.2:1) - 4 steering modes: front, rear, 4x4 and crab (2 servo motors) - independent suspension - synchronised two-stage outriggers (1 L motor) - carrier lights (x1) - fake straight 6 (spins at around 1130 rpm, much to my nephew's delight) - boom lift (1 XL motor) - boom extension (1 L motor) - boom winch (1 L motor) - superstructure rotation (1 M motor) - cab tilt (1 M motor) - superstructure lights (x3) I borrowed a few ideas from 42082, namely the slewing ring and the cab. The boom is based on Gerger's Grove found elsewhere on this forum. Other than that, I wanted the model to have lots of guts in plain sight, hence the front-mounted engine and the dozens of exposed gears. I also wanted some form of suspension that wouldn't compromise the model's longitudinal stiffness, so I went for an independent rather than a more realistic floating or pendular solution. In so many words, the model is less about realism and more about playability and durability. As an added bonus, the superstructure can be easily removed and mounted on a 42055-style carrier, as seen below. Comments, criticism and beer are welcome. Especially beer.

All the builds look terrific! I love how you manage to keep everything so compact, functional and elegant. Do you think using an AAA or rechargeable battery box might afford you the room you need to fit all four functions?

Can you post a picture of the base? Just to get an idea of how much room there is for the reversing mechanism.

I use it as an alternative to C17H17Cl2N.

You always come to my rescue - thank you, my dear friend

I got this for a steal (€89) as a parts pack. Any idea on how to remove the prints from the wheel arches without damaging the oh-so-precious (snort) ABS?

Thank you Since I can't shoot a video of the whole thing on the go - only one phone, so it's either BuWizz or video until I get to the end of the rainbow - here's a cringe-worthy video of the superstructure on my crawler crane carrier. I forgot to test the winch but what the heck.

I can't think of one but I imagine it wouldn't be able to handle a lot of torque, since you'd essentially have an axle with a torque-bearing gear in the middle and at least four unsupported studs on either side. Not sure that makes sense - too drunk, can't English.

Well, I thought I was done but then I took a few pics and realised this thing sucks. So I'll let it fester for a while and maybe get back to it later this year.

You know so or you suppose so?

Not sure whether or not this has been mentioned already, but I wonder if the B model might be a PR776.

My car isn't made of interlocking ABS components, either. No comment on the rest of your senseless gibberish.

You're completely missing the point. If he's as smart as he would have us believe then he shouldn't slip on such basic terms, should he?

Tagging @Sheepo as well since his Mustang is there, too. No idea who the creators of the other mocs are ------ On a lighter note - still in awe at your work, Jeroen

I came here for MILFs - where are they?

You again? Taking the umpteenth dump on other people's work when the only "moc" you've ever displayed here would be an embarassment even for a three-year-old at their first try with Lego? I suppose that by "mechanical" you actually mean "manual", and "remote-controlled" by "self-opening" - such a pity you can't even get the most basic technical words right in spite of your "genius". In any case, the issues posed by implementing an RC claw have already been discussed at length; the RC door is a cool feature in any case. The string-driven actuators are actually a very clever solution to bypass the issues posed by standard or even brick-built actuators when lifting a heavy boom. @BrickbyBrickTechnic - props again for your brilliant creation, mate.

@Jeroen Ottens, were you aware of this? https://www.vonado.com/collections/bricks-pieces/products/moc-liebherr-ltm11200

Cable management is arguably the most spiteful thing about Lego. I first realised this with, you guessed it, 42030 - I was very thankful I'd learned Italian by then because I could resort to a bottomless pit of swear words unlike anything we Brits have.
