    Supported and shared. Love the looks and how it rolls - I'd buy this instantly, provided TLG didn't apply an extortionate 42070-style pricing policy. On a side note, some users here who have never contributed anything constructive need to know their role and shut their mouth.

    This is terrific! I tinkered with a similar solution but couldn't get rid of the slack. You nailed it! Thanks for sharing

    Looks terrific! Have you got a link for the universal joints?

    The old driving ring isn't compatible with the blue gears. As for the driving ring touching the half-bevel gear, it does but not to a degree where it produces a ton of friction.

    The term "feller buncher" would've drawn comparisons to @desert752's masterpiece, followed by a lot of mocking and guffawing directed at TLG.

    No problem mate, thanks for the feedback! Not sure what my phone supports - it's a lousy old Samsung J3. I'll check the documentation.

    My first thought was this:

    @Zerobricks - is there any reason why I can't activate more than two sliders at the same time? I have a configuration with three sliders (two XLs on channel 1 and one servo each on channels 2 & 3) but if I want to drive and use both servos at the same time I can't - either I drive and use one servo or use two servos and don't drive. If I try to move the three sliders at the same time, one of them always remains in neutral. Thanks in advance

    Thanks again, Igor Funny thing is, I knew something was off with the front and I finally figured it out today looking at the pics while I was sitting through a deathly boring faculty meeting. Will post updates soon, I hope. Thanks, Gate! Yeah, I think there might be too many colours going on now. Tan and red can easily be done away with, but I'll see what the overall package looks like first. As for the boom, I made an extended version of 42009's and the overhang is a bit more pleasing now. I hope to have a rudimental superstructure done soon.

    Anyone falling for that shite must have left their brain in the womb.

    Thanks! I dunno, I really like how yours turned out, especially the front-to-rear flow. The sides definitely need a lot of work. I'm not sure how much room I'll have there after adding battery boxes or BuWizzes and Sbricks Thanks, Igor! Don't you think the front is a bit flat, or at least a bit "overbricked" compared to the mass of gears and the engine right behind it?

    Love at first sight. Great lines and functions, and a killer colour combo.

    First, very tentative bodywork tries. Not too pleased but I just can't seem to improve here

    It's necro time again I've ordered two Sbrick units to couple with my half-dud (atrocious BT lag) BuWizz units. I have a couple of questions: 1) How do I get the BuWizz to run on Normal or Fast through the Sbrick app? If I use the BuWizz app and then run the motors using IR receivers, the BuWizz unit reverts to Slow within a matter of seconds. 2) How many motors can a single Sbrick receiver handle efficiently? And how many per channel? My model is driven by 4 L motors and 2 servos. It's not designed for speed but I don't want the motors to be underpowered. Thanks

    Great start to an ambitious project. I'm especially interested in the four-section boom, since I've been toying with one for a few days but haven't come up with anything that works even half-decently

    Great model and the front is beyond-imagination awesome Expect to see that design technique stolen quite often

    Hi Hurri, welcome! I'm a rookie myself but from what I can tell, it looks like you're off to a good start. In any case, don't be afraid of test-building, tearing down and rebuilding - it's a great way to learn and quite a common one, too.

    I was quite happy to answer the questions before accessing the forum. Luckily, I have yet to reach the level of apathy where typing anything other than LOL and OMG is a strain on my fingers and brain cells. You guys running the board are doing a tremendous job and if this can help cut down on the spam, users should be happy to comply.

    Hi Igor, I'm not really following a blueprint of any sort - I'm just going by what might look good If you were designing an RTC from scratch, would you make the boom longer, shorter or keep it as it is in the picture? As it is, it has a dozen studs overhang.

    Thanks, Igor The carrier chassis is ready - before moving on to the bodywork, I have to figure out what livery to give this bad boy. Since I want the green engine to be well in sight and the outriggers are pretty much stuck in grey (I have the gear racks in red but I don't want this thing to look like a Christmas tree), what would you guys recommend? I was thinking a mostly black carrier and a mostly yellow superstructure. I tried mounting the superstructure from my crawler crane to see what it might more or less look like: So, a couple of questions: 1) Do you think a mostly black carrier plus green engine plus LBG/DBG outriggers plus mostly yellow superstructure livery would look decent or is it a recipe for colour vomit? Please help out a colourblind lowcarder. 2) Does the boom need to be longer? Thanks for any feedback

    Thanks for the feedback As I stated in the first post, I'm aware that this type of vehicle typically has live axles. However, any kind of live axle setup is going to either take up a ton of space or compromise the model's rigidity, which is much more important to me than a "realistic" suspension setup. I already used a pendular suspension setup on my first crane and, while very effective, it took up a lot of room. As for the outriggers, I actually had the 42070 setup in mind - never was even aware of 8460 - but wanted the stabilisers to extend much farther out, hence the hybrid solution. My solution goes from 27 studs retracted to 64 extended - I'm not sure that kind of reach is feasible with a typical two-stage solution without the end result being flimsy and/or taking up too much space, and/or compromising on clearance, and/or perhaps resorting to pneumatics which I'd rather avoid here. I'd be quite happy to be proven wrong.

    How about another crane?

    @BrickbyBrickTechnic pulled it off pretty well.
