Nice mechanism! It seems that on the real ride that you are copying, there are motors under the seats. I'm not sure that it will work without them: On my ride, they rotate because they are heavier on the back and because the ride is leaning.

I think that it is finished.

All these critics are strange: building a 1:1 Lego car is a better way of promoting a set than just paying for tv spots.

Thanks for your research ! I found this one which works the same way as mine.

I updated the first post with images and a video (sorry for the quality of the video ). There is no lifting. Only rotations.

I decided to remove the gears going to the seats (the real ride has no gears to the seats: it allows to create some cool seats rotation speed variations). The structure and each branch rotates.

I was talking about adding some decorations using pieces of 42055. I did this:

I finally have a working ride. I don't know if I should try to add some decoration arround the ride. Right now, it may be difficult for the minifigs to climb in their seats.

I tested both solutions for the seats and it works better when seats run free. Thanks m00se for pointing out that they aren't motorized in reality. I successfully made 9 seats using only the pieces of the BWE so it will definitely be a 42055 C model.

I added the third branch and fixed a dumb mistake: The wheels on the yellow circle were rotating in the opposite direction! I made them move completly freely. In my first attempt the beam was connected directly to the black turntable and it would bend. To fix it, I will use gears going on the outside of the turntable. I think that I will have enough room to also connect gears of the 3 branches on the turntable. I search for videos of the ride after having decided what I wanted to do in Lego. I didn't know that the seats weren't motorised.The real ride has good seats movements because they are very heavy and because the structure is leaning. I don't know if it will work in Lego. I think that I will try both to see which option makes the best seats movements.

The 1:1 cars aren't usually made of technic legos.

I thought that the white clutch gears were required to not damage the motor. I will try without them to see if the gears run without "jumping" or not. If it doesn't, I will try your other solutions. Yes I will try to make it a C model of 42055.

It's my first MOC / C model / Lego contest. C model of 42055 Bucket Wheel Excavator It is inspired by this ride. The structure and each branch rotate. The seats rotate thanks to the centrifugal force: the weight on the back of the seats and the inclination of the ride varies the rotation speed. The direction rotation of the seats can even change. --- Old first post My plan for TC14 is to create an attraction with 3 levels of rotation. I'd like to use only pieces from BWE 42055. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYwtlriA37M&t=0s&list=WL&index=16 The deadline is close but I'm not really advanced. There will be 9 seats will be on top. But once I added the 2nd branch, the motor wasn't able to make it rotate anymore. I don't really know how to try to improve it : - Modify the black turntable to make it rotate. For now, it is fixed and it is only used to move the gears connected to it (https://bricksafe.com/files/Akbalder/tc14/tc_14_2.jpg/1280x960.jpg) - Connect a gear on the big yellow circle to make the structure rotate - Connect a gear on the big yellow circle to make the 2nd and 3rd levels of rotation

Following the instuctions on YouTube isn't the easiest way to build a model but I finally finished it. The model is great. Thanks for the instructions !

10: 10 5: 6 16: 4 2: 3 12: 2 14: 1

It's original but it will be difficult to play with.

Is there a B model for the crane?

One lever per function or one for everything?

We should compare the sets by weight.

It's strange that it has more pieces than the BWE. It looks smaller.

The rear wing moves.

Yes the Porsche is retiring on the 31.12.2018.

In the leaked catalog.

I mean that it isn't a set targeted to children. Even the BWE is for age 12-16.

The age for the 42083 is 16+ (like the Porsche). There is a good chance that it is a new supercar.
