[MOC] Mini Off-Road Crane
mitx2529 replied to weavil's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
it's so cool and playble for kids nice moc!! -
thnaks! yes, the boom lift and extend works with string,I got the ideas from brickshelf and modified to my moc, but I thought the most difficult issue is putting motors and gear in 3 studs space. I had spent so much time to overcome the problem. you mention that variable counterweight positioning sounds awesome and challenged, i had no idea how does it work I can't wait for the final result

thanks for your comment, yes, all problem are exist the 1st and 2nd are the same problem, but I think it's not serious it's all about center of gravity, in the real crane, the boom set up behind the turntable, so did my brick crane. when the boom is in the high angle, the counterweight can balance center of gravity (even with the light counterweight) on the other hand, low angle(under 70 degree) must with a heavier counterweight to balance center of gravity and unbalance center of gravity could resulting in the superstructure would't slew well in this case I had already keep some spaces to add weight in addition, the lego turntable 48452 was too small to handle the superstructure, the lego 24121 is too big to fit in 17 studs (I think we need the new turntable part) I didn't solve the problem though I had add rollers around the turntable already the 3rd problem is the chaissis problem, it driven by only 1 axle(just like u42009), to solve it is add more driven axle maybe I would build my chassis version in the future sincerely.

Hi, as a crane fans, i'm happy to introduce my lastest building GROVE GMK5250L in scale 1:20 it's a revise version to my last crane project more accurate appearance and gear functions are more effective the 6 panel boom max can reach around 140 cm after extendend, and the crane high is 165-170 cm The angle of rise can reach 82 degrees, just like the real crane the counterweight is datchable Thanks for viewing and appreciate any feedback! 07/08/2021 the video added 09/09/2021 the instruction is available on rebrickable https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-86030/mitx2529/grove-gmk-5250l-mobile-crane
