The problem starts when you need to use 2 or 3 holes - like in my bucket wheel excavator for TC22. I had to pair these elements which was a bit of pain, but still possible. In my 42120 (I bought it on March last year) axle holes orientation was correct. I saw this discussion before and one user said that the problem already looks resolved, which is why I was surprised with my order from this year. So you are right, I was just unlucky.

If anyone wonders that problem with cross in new elements has been fixed the answer is no. Unless I got some elements from old storage. After reporting got a second set of elements with the same faults. I also bought a few technic beams 2x5 L-shape and it seems that this problem happily does not exist in them.

Thanks. Below is idea for a transporting belt: First attempts to connection it for arm showed me that transferring items from wheel bucket to belt will be a big challenge. Smaller tracks reduced model dimensions, currently WxHxL 13x20x32=8.320. BWE is starting to look nice:

Thank you. Next step is try to change the tracks to the smaller ones you have indicated. Thanks. For this moc I plan making and sharing free instructions, so anyone interested will be able to bulid it. Current progress - main drive system works without stucks and more smooth than gearbox in my 42110. Additionally this solution allows free rotation of turret and lifting the arm.

Thanks. Thank you! The biggest challenge will be keep proportions. I did 2 versions with different size tread sprocket wheels and I don't know which is worse. First I will take care of the drive system to the bucket wheel and then I'll try to change treads to smaller ones. Below 2 bad version tracks:

Thanks. Unfortunately I don't have it in my collection and now buing it is beyond my budget. But I still hope for a successor with control+.. Thank you. I remember that contest and for me your forklift was in the top5. I even built it.

Hello everyone! First of all I would like to say that although I am a new user, I have been visiting this forum for some time and some of you may know me from my activity on Rebrickable. This contest has finally motivated me to register here and to make BWE that I have been thinking about for a some time. Planned dimensions in studs WxHxL 15x20x33=9.900 Planned main functions: - rotaring bucket synchronized with the belt for excavated material - gearbox for switching drive from tracks to manual - rotaring and lifting main arm with bucket Some photos showing gearbox, bucket idea and current progress:
