Finally, someone did it! This is the first c-model I could think of coming from this set, and you executed it very nicely. Great job! -
Now that is the greatest alternate model I have ever seen! Amazing use of parts and beautiful result. I want to get my hands on a 42083 now, just to build this!
-
Wip pictures would be amazing if possible.
-
I can work on changing it in the next few days.

Both look really good IMO. But if I had to pick, v1. -
Awesome! I assume you used some sort of programmed cycle to control the movement?
-
Ohhhhhhh. I thought you meant to increase the downward range. That would have required extra cylinders. Yes I can, though I would need an extra t-piece. Sorry about that
-
Plus one as well. It's so beautifully done.

Darn, you have "taken" my idea! (haha, not really- I was planning the same thing and started to lay some stuff out, but whatever, it's for fun.) Yours already looks better than anything I could build with my pieces, so I think I will reconsider what my idea will be. I am intrigued as to how you will do the pendular motion motorized. Following with interest -
Thanks! 1. No, there is not. I tried the 42043's wheel but it was too big and I forgot to look for an alternative 2. I think it would take some extra cylinders that aren't in 42043, but it should be. Thanks. I agree, the forks' range is probably the worst part of this MOC (IMO).
-
Sure looks deadly, but really cool project. I wonder how you will control the actuator going up & down (regular IR vs. some sort of cycle where it reaches max height then goes down automatically).
-
Thank you! I had never heard of them until 2 weeks ago. Thanks very much Thanks a lot! Thanks! They are quite interesting.
-
Interesting concept, but why is such a small weight difference so important? If you want to save 0.3oz, just remove 5 parts, instead of building your entire MOC black?
-
Not bad. I find the idea of mounting the crane on turntables interesting.

Hey everyone, Presenting my latest MOC, the side-loading forklift. It is a C model of 42043 with 3 manual functions and 3 pneumatic functions. HoG steering Live-axle suspension Outriggers Opening doors + bonnet Sliding forklift Raising lift Spreading pallets This one was quite a challenge to build, mainly because there was no space for real mechanism due to the fact that I had to put a U-shaped hole in the chassis for the authenticity (Here's an image for those who don't know what a side-loading forklift is). That also meant I had to make a really strong, 2-stud wide connection between the rear and front of the chassis, which was a pain given that an axle for outriggers had to run through that joint. Here are some pictures: Thanks for reading! All comments are much appreciated. BbBT

Are 9l links possible? If so, there should be enough room to stick in the shifter. EDIT: I checked the renders again and using 9l links means ample space for the shifter. If that fails, I have 1 more idea.
-
This is a pretty simple, ingenious mechanism! I wasn't sure where this was going at first, but now I think this is really nice! Do you plan on coupling the ratchets?
-
Shifter time! After tampering with several designs, I settled on one of @Didumos69's designs. I took the essential concept and built a compact housing for it which fits the renders of the chassis. The 9l and 13l beams represent those of the chassis as it is now. Hope this works.
-
Awesome (and somewhat similar to my idea)! Looks like a really fun ride and a great concept to build!
-
Ok, I won't. I was just throwing around a suggestion
-
Hey everyone, just a question: I managed to order some of the new 20z cutch gears and wave selector. Does anyone want a redesign of the gearbox which contains both parts? Also, shifter redesign will come in a few days.
-
Well in that case 42082 only has one function, move the crane, doesn't it? Why do we need 4000 pieces to move a crane? It's clear the thing is bigger than it needs to be (76cm long in closed configuration); it could have been done in 2000 pieces, even with @Jim's wheel covers.
-
That sounds like quite an amazing contest! Maybe looks should be factored in as well... Sorry for contributing to offtopic
-
And why exactly would they be needed? Hasn't the video already established the placement of all the switches on the thing?
-
Awesome! This certainly seems like a scary ride
