I really like this one Tomik. Sleek design and nice functions with a unintended use of the pullback motor. I own that set and will build it with my kids someday.

Are you going to bump every ten years old topic ? -
Hi, my first cada battery is now broken. Only one port is working fully and one is working in only one direction. Did anyone succeeded in replacing the mx1616l chip ? I saw that mx1508 is more available. Could it be a viable option ? There's not any sign of defect when I open my battery box so it's not easy to guess what to try. Will probably go with buwizz but I would be happy to fix those, at least for children.

[C-MODEL] 42078 - Mobile crane
fosamax replied to Dyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Just bought those also to support your work as I already bought from Rain user but noticed some changes in building and missing parts here and there. I will build the original instead.- 33 replies

Impressive moc for sure but shoud'nt the first axle have a better turning radius than second and third axle for steering efficiency. At 21 second the left wheel on first axle barely turn when the wheel on third axle is already at max steering. I took a look on Jeroen Otten model LTM 11200 and it does indeed seems to behave the opposite. Or maybe the shooting angle is fooling me ?

[TC18] Pullback Racer 42106
fosamax replied to Tomik's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Yes it does mean more models from you... not that you're not building already lots of models, but usually, those are greatly thought and I know for sure that you mainly avoid illegal building in lego terms, which is quite difficult. As you know, my models are not always respectfull of that doctrine and I have great respect for people who force themselve to avoid it, as it is probably more difficult. Take care of you. -
[TC18] Pullback Racer 42106
fosamax replied to Tomik's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Great b-model Tomik from a set that didn't looks too appealing. I think your alternative is way better than the official Lego model. Hope to see more from you as well. -

Awesome work, as usual. You're a really talented builder. And photos are great as well. -
42108 mods and improvements
fosamax replied to M_longer's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Great job @M_longer In fact, it should have been designed that way from the beginning. You just have to build a decent model B now. -
Volvo Crane Truck - 42078 C-model
fosamax replied to mpj's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
That's a very nice looking model. It feels really authentic and should be interesting for younger audience as well since playability seems top notch. -
[moc] rc/manual plum picker
fosamax replied to suffocation's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
This is a really nice model and I think that this is what Lego technic is just about. Nicely designed model, that don't necessary need to mimic too closely a real one but packed with a ton of function. It's really clever to have the possibility to switch from RC to manual and you've designed a quite compact gearbox. Hope to see it on rebrickable at some point. -
I had no problem with electronics so far ( except you must use the included cable to charge). The product is inferior to buwizz but the price tag is not the same either. I would have prefered analog support as well as precise servo but I can't really complain for the price (got one free set from gearbest only for a broken suspension shock...) There's also some nice addition : battery box of the same size as buwizz, RF 2.4 GHz with physical remote. So I'm OK with the electronics (but that not the general impression so it may be gamble) but don't find the all set really good for the rest of the parts. If Lego had released official 2.4 GHz PF, I would not have bothered with Cada. Regards, Marc

42108 - Mobile Crane
fosamax replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I would buy the Mack (available during sale for less than 100 €) and would build Dominik Novak's crane moc out of it. -
That's why I wouldn't see those as anything but an alternative source for the now discontinued power function with extra functionnality. I bought those in set (with a model and instructions) but only because it was the cheapest way to get the electronics but I was far from being impressed by the model itself. That being said I would not buy mould king or other brand that sell rip off of official lego or moc stolen from rebrickable users.

42108 - Mobile Crane
fosamax replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
One of my first big (in fact middle) sized set was lego power crane (8854) which was released in 1989. The part count is low at 518. I think it looks more than an unimog with a crane add-on than a real mobile crane but it seems the number of functions packed is this model is rather impressive : - steering with HOG - crane rotation - raising and lowering the crane with pneumatics - boom extension - raising and lowering the (metal) hook. - syncronised outriggers. Not to mention that a B-model was included as well as the printed BI. Main trouble was the turnable that was not as good as those we've got now. IMHO, it performs pretty well for a 1989 set with half the amount of parts of the 42108. -

[C-MODEL] 42078 - Mobile crane
fosamax replied to Dyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Just a reminder of that excellent alternate from 42078 for those who missed it. I find it somehow better than the upcoming 42108 set. It has a nice detailled cabin with opening doors, working steering wheel, side mirrors, excellent seats and so on. There's also the ladder for the back cabin, fake 6 inline connected to wheels. There's some downsides also like the pretty massive boom and lack of turnable for supporting the rear but it's trully a masterpiece IMHO. Not to mention that there's also a lot of other excellent C model already available for that set (which also includes an official B and C model).- 33 replies
