I got this set for Christmas too. I was thinking about making it r/c. any thoughts Alasdair Ryan(what is your real name?)? tim

His modules are so clever! I dont know how he thinks them up. tim

Nice, very simple. tim

I couldn't agree more. i got this set for Christmas and built it the first day. i have to say that i have no complaints. tim

ohh thats a great idea! tim

Wow beautiful crane. tim

haha join the club. tim

haha what does that mean? tim

Wow very nice r/c mod. How does the steering work? is it return to center? tim

Wow so simple and yet so effective, nice job. tim

I like your solution but i have used a different autovalve instead. tim

I like it a lot, very nice build. tim

Great topic idea! Well first i would like to praise Sariel's Tow Truck2. This epic machine is what inspired my to build my first realistic and fully functional rotator tow truck. Second i would like to share my favorite MOC of all time that i have built, the walking excavator. This was by far the most challenging MOC i have built. It was nearly impossible to fit all the functions that i wanted into such a small machine, but the finished product was an absolute blast to operate. Ultimately i would like to revisit the machine as i now have many more ideas for improvement and even better parts. As for the future, i am currently working on a US style truck with a goosneck trailer, all to hold my other project; a snow groomer with an excavator on the back. I have stopped working on the groomer because i can not figure out how to build the cab. the truck will have r/c drive and steer with a remote controlled detachable goosneck. I cant wait to finish building! tim

You can click the button "go buy it" which will redirect you to the seller's page. once there you can add items to your cart and when you "checkout", the seller will send you an email with his Paypal address (assuming you selected paypal as your billing method) to which you can send the money to. hope this helps! tim

When i tried using sariel's switch with an automatic compressor i would find that the switch would take a few seconds to turn in the opposite direction so excess air went into the switch which pumped the cylinder more before the switch even switched directions. does that make sense? tim

Nice mechanical arm. it has a lot of movement. tim

Wow superb MOC! that technique to prevent slipping is ingenious, i will have to try it sometime. tim

Some photos of the mechanism would be awesome. tim

I know i would love to build the creation but i dont have the pieces :( tim

Nice moc. that thing is huge! very well constructed. tim

Nice model! I can not believe there are 72 lights in there . tim

I couldn't agree more. the way the rear wheels lower with the bed is simply amazing. And the way the car lift has 2 actions controlled by one motor, also genius. Not to mention the beautiful cab design. i think i am in love . tim

@Alasdair Ryan thanks! You should make a go at building one, they are very fun. tim

You could upload photos to brickshelf.com and then deep link the photos here. Anyway, nice model! tim

I would say the 8421. The huge size and rc motor are a must. tim
