    Thanks PG52 and those who made the instructions. I just finished building the V4 posted on rebrickable, lots of fun!

    Nice! I just built PG5200's V4 Spirograph and am still having lots of fun with it. I can't even imagine the possibilities with 6 speeds instead of 4.

    I like the crane hook mod, haven't seen it before. I will need to borrow that idea for my 42009 =).

    Here are the instructions for the 42009S, be sure to read through the comments section too. https://social.sbrick.com/wiki/view/pageId/18/slug/42009s I just attached the crane structure and it will drive if I give it a little push to start off. More importantly, the crane functions work great with sbrick. The next time I order from Lego, I'll pick up a XL motor to try out.

    Not too thick, it actually moves ok without the crane structure. I am still in the process of modding it and haven't tested driving it with the crane structure attached yet, but I imagine the added weight will be too much.

    Not sure if I should have started a new thread, but I built the 42009 and am just about done performing the 42009S modifications to motorize all functions using sbrick. This is my first technic build as an adult and it was very enjoyable. The drive motor is a L-motor and it works great on flat hard surfaces but unfortunately I have a lot of carpet at my house and it would be great if I could get the crane to drive well on carpet. Would replacing the L with a XL help? Would using 2 x L combined using a differential be any better? Should I just accept the fact that it just won’t drive well on carpet? I would appreciate any thoughts or advice from more experienced builders and modders.

    I was about to pull the trigger on 42030 because of the oob rc and pf. But after a friend pointed out instructions for the ultimate 42009, I may go with that instead. I really like how 42043 has both pf and pneumatics v2, not to mention the model itself is beautiful. If only there were reputable instructions for adding rc. I'm sure it will come eventually...

    42043 owners - how functional is the bucket? Can you actually pick up light stuff with it?

    I recently got back into Lego with some of the Star Wars sets and am now looking to buy my first Technic set as an adult. My two main criteria are play factor and remote control via incorporation of the sbrick. I'm leaning toward the Volvo, should I be looking at any other sets? I've looked into 42009 and 42043, but being able to actually pick up stuff with 42030 via RC makes it seem like a winner to me.
