    Very nice engine. Makes me wish they'd put it in an official set.
  2. Lost_In_Noise
    Fantastic work as always Sheepo, thanks for sharing!
  3. Lost_In_Noise
    Because it has a shorter wheelbase.
  4. Lost_In_Noise
    Ace!

    Those were the days...

    5.5 axle always was the best for me.

    On the upside, you know which parts he uses. Is there any additional ones, like an extra pin or bush somewhere? Has he said anything about this car?

    I've just done the same myself, what I meant what is there any difference in performance when using these tires. When I tried it I couldn't see any real difference, besides PP wheels being better at moving through a blanket. Uphill climbing was about the same for both alternatives... And of course it looks a LOT better: That sad 8466 in the back..... Its glory days are over.

    I searched this thread for some advantages choosing Power Puller wheels. They seem to make it better at climbing obstacles, and giving the Boss bigger ground clearance and a lower center of gravity. I wonder if the L motors will be too much stressed, though....

    Is there anyone who has given this a shot? It doesn't look too difficult to figure it out...

    The 8479 Barcode Truck uses a similar function with flex axles. When the first axle bottoms out, the entire arm is lifted.
  12. Lost_In_Noise
    That was surprisingly simple. Thank you.

    pics: Sry if you wanted to post these yourself, just ask me to take them away:) This looks very complicated, I would love to see the linkage for the drive axles to the four "legs".

    Congrats Ted!

    8053 and 8069 has them as well. And the 8258 I think.

    Congrats on TLCB!

    I meant if you were attempting to raise the boom with a very heavy load, the clutch in the LA would slip. The "normal" 24T gear is what allows it to lift the heavy load in the first place. I have installed one on mine, and had no problems with it. You could in theory damage the boom, but I don't think the motor would be powerful enough to tear apart all those pieces. The boom is much more sturdier than the one of the previous Mobile Crane (8421).

    Both the LA's and the telescopic arm was fully extended. I tried lifting with the boom in a 90-degree fashion, but the entire structure toppeled over. You won't damage anything, but the internal clutch of the Linear Actuators may slip, causing them to be misaligned. That's an easy fix though, but if left unattended, it will damage both the motor and the geartrain leading up to the actuator itself. Dislodging and twisting one of the actuators solves the problem if it happens.

    I think most forklifts uses hydraulic actuators for the steering, but I may be wrong... Been a long time since I drove one.

    I've got a similar problem. Only got time to build the 42009 Mobile Crane yesterday. Just after finishing, testing it and so forth, my dad invited me to dinner just up the street, so I didn't get time to clear up the mess of extra parts and instructions floating around. Today I had planned on building the, IMO "proper" crawler(41999), but I have to pop by my sister to get some stuff from her. SO that's pretty much my weekend of building. I'll probably wait another week before I build the Crawler, since I don't want to break it up in multiple sessions. /rant

    After building this mammoth yesterday in 7 hours(!), I was a bit disappointed by some of the original designs. Therefore I tweaked the model just a bit by adding some minor parts, and a PF switch. On this photo, you will notice two differences, the first is the polarity switch, which should have been mandatory on all PF models. The second one is the 24T gear on the string axle, which lets it lift something big without slipping. Still, removing the battery box to change batteries is very easy. It is not so easy to spot in the picture, but the cover for the drivetrain(grey panels) has been modified somewhat to allow it to fully open to watch the gearbox underneath work. This was achieved by simply moving some of the 3L pins to alternate positions. The PF switch is fixed in place with a 2x6 plate underneath, a "pin long with center pin hole" and an "axle and pin connector double" with some half-pins. The photos were taken while it was lifting a Mini Mobile Crane (set 8067, which weighs 1/2 kilos. This is very near the limit of what this can lift with a full stretched out boom.

    A good 7 hours worth of build, I can say I'm impressed by the working. I ditched all the clutch gears though....
  23. Lost_In_Noise
    Nice work!
  24. Lost_In_Noise
    How many tripods do you have? Amazing work as always, thanks for sharing

    Didn't know about this shock absorber. Maybe if I do a review I'll include that fact. (I've got a yellow one:D)
