I was excited when 1st picture of new 42113 set leaked, finally something different than 'car' Even the color design was ok, not to tell it's military plane. But I decided to build by own version as 42082 moc, started in first half of June and I'm about 75% done. All was based on that 1 picture and blueprints. My model should have around 2500 pieces and 6 motorized and 5 manual functions + rotation of wing to transport position not yet decided My model would be 10-15% bigger, more correct - based on dimensions of known measurements Unfortunatelly I will not have this nice rotor blades :( Right now I'm working on central gearbox I wanted to squeze behind cabin to left enough space in cargo area to be used for something different (on top of battery box) space is limited, so it's more comlicated than i actually expected Unfortunatelly i will not have enough time to finish it till end of summer due to some vacations and limited time for building. When i have seen presentation 42113 video: I can see some problems in official model: * not enough power for rotation of gondolas (clutch pins) * elevator moves in opposite direction as it should * dimensions are not 'correct' Unfortunatelly with showed function I'm not much impressed. I understand the limitation for number of parts and final price (I do not have to fulfill, i'm limited just by model 42082 pieces) All said i'll possibly buy it, mostly to compare with my variant Difficult parts of the build: * rotation of the motor gondolas without small turntables not present in 42082 set * 3D avionics handles without technic links (couldn't make it in one, so I used 2 'driving sticks' on top of the rear part of model) * gearbox (in progress) * transfer 3 functions from airplane body to wings still with option to rotate wings (rotor function will be available always. Flaps and gondola rotation will be 'connected' outside the turn-table via gears and will work only if wing is in standard flyable position) functions (function not available in official 42113 set writen in bold): motorized: * rotors + V4 engines (I know, that there should be radial engines, but at least something than nothing) * landing gear (linear actuators) * inclination of gondolas * cargo door bay * rotation of wing manual: * side doors on right side * avionics - rudder, elevator (correct way), flaps * colapsible rotor blades (only for liftarms, but compatible with new rotor blades) * rope with hook + Easy to replace battery box + Color design: body + rotor gondolas in BLACK; wings + bodytop + avionics in RED Any sugestions are welcome! thank you some pictures (more pictures on bricksafe):

I was excited when 1st picture was released, finally something different than 'car' Even the color design was ok, not to tell it's military plane. I also decided to build by own version as 42082 moc, started 3 weeks ago and I'm about 75% done. All was based on that 1 picture and blueprints. My model should have around 2500 pieces and 5 motorized and 5 manual functions (or 6 | 4 dependent on the gearbox) My model would be 10-15% bigger, more correct based on dimensions of known measurements Unfortunatelly I will not have this nice rotor blades :( Model is still missing central gearbox I wanted to squeze behind cabin to left enough space in cargo area to be used for something different Unfortunatelly i will not have enough time to finish it till end of summer due to some vacations and limited time for building. I can see some problems in 42113 official model: * allready mentioned rotation of gondolas * elevator moves in different direction as it should * dimensions are not 'correct' Unfortunatelly with showed functions I'm not much impressed. I understand the limitation for number of parts and final price (I do not have to fulfill, i'm limited just by model 42082 pieces) all said i'll possibly buy it, mostly to compare with my MOC Is anyone interested in my WorkInProgress photos here, of should I start new WIP topic?

So after whole operation buwizz battery is back in business and working flawlessly drsrvs: many thanks for sharing workaround I overheated it when driving my Trophy Truck MOC in configuration of 2x Buggy motors (cheaper china monster motors) + servo motor

This gives me hope, based on this comment i decided to open battery. After unscrewing all 4 screws i had to depart light and dark grey part, that were tightly glued together. Insides looks without burn or anything bad, so i'll try to solder one of battery wires from mainboard. If i'll solve the issue i woud think, for the future, to implement there some small switch accessible from outside of the box, ideally in the top center space let's see drsrvs thanks for sharing your workaround

yes, that's why i didn't want to buy Buwizz at the beginning I wanted hardware controller mainly for my children, even I don't like to controll it just on display on the phone without any harware feedback (buttons, joystick, etc.) I'm using cheep android/ios bluetooth controller by ipega http://ipega.hk/gamehandle.html

I had CaDA battery and hardware controller for 3/4 year before I destroyed it. In general it can connect 4 motors and all working together, but you need to avoid changing direction in rapid manner. I burned out it when using in my Trophy Truck moc in configuration with 2 buggy motors (actually cheaper china monster motors) and servo once rapidly reversing direction of a car. Right now it is not working at all. I bought 2 Buwizz batteries (for 4x the price of CaDA) but i'm really happy with it. It can be used with BrickController2 app with hardware bluetooth controller, which was something I was looking for, because i hate operating mocs from mobile phone

Very nice buggy, i really like the shape and performance. Have you considered using crawler tires? I also started building VW beetle buggy, but as I was limited only from pieces of 42077 set, it came in little different shape I'm little sad, that you won't think of creating instructions of any kind, but really understand as I know how time consuming it is, I also prefer building insted of modeling/sitting on computer

Unfortunatelly I don't have them, but as quckly chceked in LDD, its same height, but are much wider. I would assume, that it will have issues with front panels when full steered to side. I tried unimog and tractor tires (see gallery), but it is too big for this buggy (wait for trophy truck, which is designed to be built with tractor tires as default :)

Would you mind share that digital model? I think, it would go well to my sons collection of older construction models 8419 excavator and 8271 wheel loader thanks in advance

Hello all, not part of this discussion, but can anyone find on internet instructions for that Xioami Mitu Mobile Crane? I'm more interested in building this, but from real lego parts in yellow color

Hard to tell, there are allready telehandlers made. Everything has to have been done before, so it's alternate / replica of at least parts, that you can allready see before I'm considering it second not alternated of my allready released models (there are also some unreleased which are also original not alternate) But as far as I remember, I allready explained you my goal: 1) to build as much as can be done as c-model from 42043 with as much possible functions as original model or real vehicle, without adding any aditional piece 2) functions needs to be manual (so now 3,5 old child can play with them, not to harm gears by electronics or pneumatics) (wheeled excavator was an exception) 3) if alternate of recent model, add some new functions 4) alternate of model, that can't be easily bought these days (7 years and older), also add some functions 5) create digital model or instructions of finished model, so my son can built them alone, once he is bigger (once it was ready I moved them to rebrickable to monetize them, it took so much time to create it, but the sells aren't the main purpose of creating the model, and real money outcome is also very small) So if you can see the models, all add some other function, that was not presented, also considering that parts aren't the same, there are many build-arounds I was also suprised, what else can be built from 1 set with some inovative thinking. It is filled with great set of gears and connection pins. I initially bought 42043 as second hand set together with 42009 mobile crane, and it stayed 3 months in box till I initially built it. Leaving Mercedes built one week and then started to think of MOCs Also considering that I build all these models during 2 years timespan (after going off my 'dark' age after 20 years without lego (never worked with studless before), with having a 9-17 job, and 2 children at home), I'm very satisfied with the outcomes I have seen your mobile crane, which is really great model, but I haven't bought it yet (not suitable for really small children) I was also considering building some kind of mobile crane keeping it more color consistent and without motorisation and pneumatics, but it would definitelly look like something, that has been built before I hope you will not be treated by that (42043 c-model with the same purpose and possibly same functions) It's not on my schedule right now and maybe I'll not have time for do so, I have so many other models to be finished right now

Improvise. Adapt. Overcome ;) Allready used it for shaping mudguards in my Retro Baja trophy truck, but this model is not finished yet (in terms of creating digital model with instructions). On this model I mostly tested custom made steering wheel hub holder with maximum available use of suspension (limited by parts available in 42043) and I'm very satisfied with the outcome.

Thanks for appreciation I was also thinking about building terrain pick-up (sort of 42039 B-model) but couldn't find any other function to implement, so I dismissed it. I have no other plans for moc from 42077. Getting back to 42043, I've 6 models to get instructions done or finish building (https://bricksafe.com/pages/klimax/zzz-in-progress) I don't plan to share LXF model, as I allready made instructions for sale on rebrickable, sorry

technically you are correct, but i decided make seat for the driver in the middle as in F1 cars I had not enough bricks to do some seat/steering wheel/driver headrest shift to one side.

2 different sized pneumatic cilinders work. If the lower ones would be same, it would be better, but then the narrow one on top doesn't have enought power to lift rest of boom. I've tried all combinations at the bottom side with 1 or 2 cylinders and the narrow one helsp the bigger to lift the boom a little, also it looks cooler with 2 cylinders. This CAT specs (https://s7d2.scene7.com/is/content/Caterpillar/C669414) i took as inspiration for building a model But you are correct, 42043 set doesn't have much yellow color and several details i intentionally missed so i could complete the model in this small scale without needing of aditional parts from other set (e.g. not enough gears for implementation of moving front stabilizing legs > need of loom bands) I should keep name as wheeled excavator, most of them of different manufacturers looks almost the same. But i wanted to differentiate it from 42053 volvo excavator set, which I recall almost at the end of of building - totally forgot about it, initially didn't like this set when i came out from my dark ages 2 years ago
