    I really like how it came out. Yes, it's rough around the edges but I think that just adds to its character. My first thought when I saw the updated post was "This looks so bad-a$$!" It's a pity you had to do away with the suspension but with that kind of weight I guess there was no failproof way around it without using a dozen springs per axle. I love how you used the quarter-gears and buckets to shape the superstructure - that's some really creative work there. Looking forward to seeing more from you!

    Beyond awesome - flawless functions and drop-dead gorgeous livery.

    Good job, but the suspension travel is really limited. Sprung pendular axles need to have the springs mounted on a pivot. Then again, I guess more suspension travel would make the three-mode steering problematic.

    Thanks, Efferman So these should be okay, if I'm not mistaken: https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B07FCLHXBZ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A250KNM9XJL1LQ&psc=1

    Looks nice but the picture's really small. Can you upload a larger one? You can use bricksafe.com and link larger images from there.

    What tyres would you guys recommend for a heavy model (around 4.5 kg) with four planetary hubs, so with the tyres squeezed between two second-generation z56 turntables? Unimog and Claas tyres seem to pop out as soon as I press down on the model. Sample axle by @efferman with the planetary hubs I have in mind:

    A lavish feast of scrambled eggs. On a more jocular note infused with romance philology, no hope for an S motor then?

    Let's leave 2018-Italy-style politicking out of this, shall we? Shineyu, welcome back! I hope you managed to solve all the issues you mentioned a few months ago. It looks like you've broken through that plateau to rarefied air only a few breathe - Sheo and Sariel come to mind. The first Scania truck and the Fassi cranes are dope sick.

    Love this build - so much going on in so little space, and it looks great. I think I'll steal your boom idea and turn it into a custom actuator

    I don't see what the big deal is about fitting the switches. I'm one of the worst builders out there and still managed to cram six (there was room for a seventh, not needed) on my tow truck, and another three on the crane: Each switch is mounted on a 2L axle pin and works fine.

    Yes, it is. A 2-way, seven-function gearbox, motor included, can be packed comfortably into a 7x7x15 structure, which in turn can fit snugly into the official superstructure. I think the reason TLG didn't do this is that if you activate too many functions at once, the motor isn't going to be able to deliver enough torque.

    Looks good. I wonder if you wouldn't be better off with a brick-built actuator, though - the boom is probably going to be very heavy and I don't think those two large actuators are going to be strong enough to lift it to a decent angle, unless you gear them down to a snail's pace.

    I beg to differ Let's say it's the only valid alternative to 42082 despite all the chatter.

    Looks terrific!

    Hard-coupling two motors will theoretically double the torque but not the speed. The only time you'll see an increase in speed is if a single motor struggles to overcome the friction in the drivetrain.

    Thanks for the kind words, guys Haven't tested it for fear of breaking something. It should be pretty decent though - the clutch gear can't slip since it's sandwiched between a worm gear and a z8 gear.

    Found this. Still have to figure out how to thread it.

    Not sure the "rare machine" argument holds much water - if a snow groomer's an unusual sight, what about a bucket wheel excavator? Then again, a BWE's got a wow factor to it that a snow groomer hasn't, at least for the average buyer.

    It was discontinued last year.

    Forgot to mention that I really like how you've spread the switches on both sides of the superstructure. I usually stash them all together and it ends up looking hideous.

    A homage to phat tracks.

    What Erik said. With a custom actuator (not so different from yours, by the way) you can get at least eight studs of range and lift an even heavier boom almost to vertical.

    Only one of those is coaxial. I think the OP is looking for three coaxial functions that will work while retaining 360° rotation of the superstructure.
