Good review although you attached the stickers upside down

One Battery box is enough for even 4 or more M Motors. The power is sth that doesn't change (unless you cut off power source or there is not enough current for a higher number of motors). It will not divide it will stay as it is. It doesn't affect motors' power if you add another one but note it will deplete the battery box twice as fast. The speed will stay the same. You can see my telehandler with 11 motors. They can work all in the same time - but the BB lasts for 15 minutes of fun :)

I don't know why you think it will kill the motor? It could suffer from overheating and with new rechargeable battery it's impossible because the BB will cut the power off after too long time of heat exposure to the motor. Secondly the amount of heat generated by locked motor is so low that surrounding air will cool it easily.

Yes. You just use the PF remote controller to do so. When you want the air going to the cylinder you just set the joystick on the pilot free. It's very similar to using LAs - it's of course less precise. I didn't have this hockey part - the advantage of my design over the hockey part is that this valve uses only regular easy to get parts (except the valves and hoses - they are not cheak but you don't need to many of them after all) Thanks for comments.

It's not a pump. This cylinder is used to switch on/off the compressor! Very nice truck. I see you don't have many pieces yet but you still managed to implement nice functions into the MOC. I don't like using pneumatics as the boom raising/lowering device because it causes it to drop along with it's cargo. Keep up!

Here is the movie:

Sometime ago dmac from LUGPOL published the automatic valve steered by PF medium motor. Although it was working very good it's dimensions were quite big and in the same breath - quite disappointing. I need not 1 but 4 or 5 of these valves in my next MOC so I created the simpler and smaller version of the valve: You can replace the red beam with something else to attach it to the frame or other structure in your MOC. Check the video to see how it works: With dmac valves' design the quadruple valve you can make sth like this: Dimensions 21 x 10 x 12 (dl / szer / wys) [st] In the photo you can see that it's 22 st long but it can be easily reduced to 21 st. It's dimensions are quite big, not to mention you still have to put there pneumatic hoses and you use precious z24 gears. On the other hand, with my design I came up with sth like this: Dimensions are only 16x9x6 [st] Now I only have 2 pneumatic circuits it's working very well. I tested the valve with 250 alternate switches and it was still in one piece. I'm looking forward to see it in action. I hope it's useful for you.

Thanks you guys! Comments like these allow me to improve my skills and keep on buidling! My godson (5 yr old) played with it and didn't destroy it (much:P just joking) but probabyl I wouldn't let unknown child to play with it :) It's better if mechanisms work slow than they don't work at all :) Lasse I love your airport engine :)

Well I don't know... :) Just kidding!

Where would I put another BB ?:) It's much better to replace it and have 30 minutes of fun :) None motor could have been removed :) thanks for comments:)

Not much unfortunately around 70 - 80 g. It would be possible to change the gear ration and extend raising the boom to over 4 minutes xD and it could lift around 250 g and not break. There is no problem with breaking the model - it's Lego!

Who is Michael Moore ?:) Thank you! Well I have PF remote controllers so the truth is - I don't need an operator. But it is also truth that it would look stupid without the chair :D Thank you - it took me a lot of hard time:) ^^ This is what kondzios shold have been looking for in the description - thanks Milan. Not really high skill - this is my 4th technic vehicle since Dark Age - and before Dark Age I had only one small Technic set. I'm learning huge amount of skill with each vehicle. Thank you. We need to revive technic forums here on Eurobricks:)

Really nice MOC and the movie. Dobra robota!

I'm trying to find a golden middle between functionality and appearance. So far so good - I think. Thank you guys:)

As I wrote before:

TELEHANDLER This is my first MOC in 2010. It was created after I had failed on my two previous creation (not published). I had a hard time with this one - I almost disassembled it! But here it is: Tech sheet: Jib retracted. Length 520 mm Length with fork: 640 mm Width: 232 Height: 224 Axle span: 224 Weight: 3088 g Max speed: 0,11 m/s Jib: Min angle: ~ -11 degrees Max angle: ~ 63 degrees Length: 480 mm Length with extended boom: 720 mm *Length without fork. Extending time: 30 s Max operating height: 440 mm Boom raising: 85 s xD Boom weight: 715 g Fork: Fork span: 64 mm Length: 90 mm Width: 162 mm Height: 112 mm Building time: With huge breaks - 7 weeks. But if you count only days I was modifying/adding bricks it would be around 2 weeks. In MOC I used: The parts I used. Each motor's application I will describe later. 2 x XL 8 x M 1 x old motor 2 x switch 1 x New BB 9 x extension cable (5 x 200mm, 4 x 500 mm) 4 x IR 7 x Lights 2 x Large pneumatic cyllinder (dummy) 1 x small pneumatic cyllinder (dummy) 5 x Clutchgear 2 x LA 7,5 m of cables, 11 motors in total. Functions: Detailed description is found below this list. 1) 4x4 drivetrain, full independent suspension, 2 shock absorbers per each wheel 2) steering - two modes: normal and crab, steering mode switching 3) Jib raising 4) Jib extendind 5) Fork angle regulation 6) Cabin light (switching ON/OFF) 7) switching on/off of nightime lights (manually controlled) 8) V6 engine dummy 9) raising engine hatch and opening cabin doors (manually controlled) Drivetrain & Steering: In vehicle there are two PF XL motors used for propolsion, 2 mediums for steering and another medium for changing steering mode. To stop sliding off the axles from gears in differentials I used hose ribbed (as can be seen in the pic above). The turning radius is very low and vehicle is extremely manouverable (for it's scale of course) due to very short axle span. Boom raising: To raise the boom I use 2 medium motors. It may seem that I added the second motor just to increase the motors' number. Please remember the boom weigths over 715 g WITHOUT any cargo. It is 720 mm long when fully extended and can be operated between -11 and +63 degree angle. When you use two LAs and two motors you need to sum the moments and then pass it along to the common shaft. To raise the boom it takes... 85 s :) Boom extending: Second part of the boom elongates it for 260 mm. It takes 30 s to extend it and then the maximum operating height is 440 mm. Fork angle: I think this is the first fork angle andjustment in Technic forklift. The medium motor is used to adjust the angle and it is at the end of the second section of the boom. The angles allow to hold steadily the pallet on the fork. Outriggers: In front there are two outriggers. Although they can't completey raise the front of the vehicle but they allow to raise it a bit - a lot of weight is still supported by the suspension and wheels. They are operated by old motor. I used it to shorten the vehicle for 2 studs. V6 engine dummy: On the right side of the vehicle there is an engine dummy propelled all the time by medium motor. Aesthetics Cabin: Is equipped with backlight (remotely controlled), as well as the air conditioning and specialised computers used for controlling of the vehicle. You can open the doors. I had to fit two IRs in the back of the cabin - i know it doesn't look good but it was the only place available. Hatch: You can open the engine dummy hatch and see the pistons moving from above and from the right side through the ventilation grate. Lights: At the back of the vehicle there is a switch used to control the lights - 2 pairs of white in fron, 2 pairs in front on the boom and 2 pairs of red in the back. Others: Two other IRs I managed to hide before the fron axle and behind the outriggers. Battery box I managed to locate it at the rear side of the vehicle. It's accessible. With so huge number of motors and electric parts battery's capacity lasts for 15 minutes of fun and then it needs to be recharged:) FILM Youtube movie is here. Make sure you check this out! I hope you like it. Enjoy! Please share comments and critics.

Thank you guys for positive comments :) The idea of creation was to share the creativity and idea not some wild porn fantasies. Cheers:)

I created a simple MOC after influence of my polish friends from LUGPOL (we usually don't make MOCs like these and don't have such extreme fantasies) and after seeing Crises's MOC: and here is my MOC: ADULT MATERIAL - Image removed by TheBrickster I hope you enjoy :) Please make sure you see the other normal crises's MOCs! (Click the thumbnail) If it's too hardcore please remove the topic :)

I've already completed the telehandler and put it aside for a day to make final design alterations. Therefore I kindly ask for closing this topic. I'm publishing the MOC on 1st Jan 2010:)

Not at all. Although one LA would not be enough to lift the boom because of the safety clutch on it. Also it wouldn't be stable enough for the boom to use only one LA. You will see that in the movie soon :)

At first I wanted dummy to be propelled by one of the XL motors but it''s stupid for me because it would only work if TH was moving :(

Why too many? Too many for one BB or what other reason? I've just made outriggers and tiled the front of the vehicle. I need to lower one part of the tiles for boom to go low enough to be able to pick up pallets.

The video will be published right after the completion of the model. The motors: 2 XL for drivetrain 2 M for steering 1 M for changing steering mode (normal, crab) 1 M for engine dummy 2 M for raising the boom 1 M for extending the boom 1 M for fork leveling 1 old motor for outriggers 7 pairs of lights in total 1 new battery box Over 9 m of electric wires. Around 3 kg of weight. I know it has a lot of electric parts for just one BB therefore it's possible to manually switch the lights on/off. I have already tested two functions that need to have a lot of power (which could result in power cut off by BB) - driving and boom raising with lights switched on - it works great therefore I'm looking forward to completion of the model.

I'm working on a telehandler. It will use 11 motors in total. It's almost complete but I would like to see what you think about it. Here it is what I have so far: Short video:
