Ya sorry i thought it was a S motor and realized shortly after posting it was an E motor. When looking on the Compared motor characteristics page, the E motor is almost double the weight and almost double the RPMs of the M-motor, but with significantly less torque.

I really hope they would produce a motor similar to the micromotor but honestly i wouldnt be surpirsed if a smaller motor never comes into existence. there is actually a "S" motor offered by Lego education. http://www.legoeducation.us/eng/product/e_motor/2028

Thats really awesome!! I cant imagine how long it took to coordinate all the links on the rotating drum. tim

I just got mine yesterday and built it super fast (while doing summer homework haha) i will post pictures sometime soon of the modifications. tim

Wow fantastic truck! Im amazed at the play of the suspension. tim

Thats a very simple and functional claw, it looks really good and functions very well to, thanks for the photos! tim

I am going to guess some type of Scania truck? Are the rims for the truck custom painted? because they look really cool with the trucks color scheme. Looks amazing so far! tim

wow that isnt to long at all. tim

Thanks i can't wait!! How long did it take you to build? tim

I just ordered mine and i can't wait for it come!! I haven't gotten a set in a few years so it will be like Christmas day again haha. tim

Thats a very nice claw! Why not keep the third actuator to tilt the claw? Did you use that drive to drive the claw closing? tim

sounds interesting, do you have any pictures for clarification? tim

Yes please upload a photo, the claw looks awesome! tim

What could you possibly be powering with 20 motors?!?!? tim

Would Lego really be able to move snow? Tim

Very nice video! I love the drivers view! tim

Fantastic MOC! The functions all work very well and i am amazed that you managed to fit them all inside the truck. For the crane, is there any way to gear up the LA's so they move faster? And a suggestion for future videos; use tripod, or a stack of books or something so the shaking will be kept to a minimum. tim

Haha i can agree on some parts . From my experience with the set whenever i would try to lift something with it the crane would bend a ton and i think the crane almost separated from the turntable a few times. But i do agree that it still had a lot of lifting power compared to any other Lego set, which can lift almost nothing. I have noticed something else with Lego sets. The functions work well until they have even a little bit of load applied, then the gears usually click or the beams aren't strong enough or some other part fails. Don't they take playability into the design process? tim

Wow if that piece actually can hold a load well it would be a great Truck trial part! tim

I remember the 8460 crane set. The B model was way better than the main model! tim

Why would TLG produe rereleases instead of new models? Tim

Wow that's very impressive! is it a crane? tim

A working snow blower would be amazing! Another cool attachment would be a grass mowing arm seen here tim

Wow what could you possibly need 400 green panels for? tim

Thanks for the compliments . And no i am not on MOCpages. I dont think i have the time to start an account and write descriptions and post pictures at tthe moment, maybe in the future though. I mostly stick to brickshelf(username: timbob). tim
