    Why mistake? Maybe we can see this as a model that is meant to bring peace between the two warring factions of LA-ists and Pneumaticists

    From the comments I feel that it's going to be some demand driven repricing of 8053 and 8421 on bricklink...

    This looks so BAD for my wallet... both the truck and crane.... :) But I'll get them!

    Good compact review Paul. As this was my first set to drag me out of dark ages, I made a photo instructions of motorizing it with just the pieces of 9395 and 8293 PF set. They can be seen here: http://laurisklavins.blogspot.com/2012/08/upgraded-9395-b-model-with-power.html When I finally will make a normal video and photo instructions of my 9395 RC version (seen here: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=74488&hl=%2Bmani+%2Blego+%2Bdarin%C4%81jumi), I'll try to further modify and RC the 9395-B version as well. In my opinion this is really good set if you want to drag someone out of dark ages - just present the person with a box of #9395 tested on myself!

    Really great one! Hope I will learn to build such machines in some time

    gotta get two of those because of shock absorbers, tires and orange panels

    Although my favourite was MarkusOSX entry, I just voted for your entry as it might actually win :) Ok, let's believe it will win and it will - it is indeed very good entry and congratulations to all finalists from EB.

    very nice progress for a challenging model you've choosen in terms of design (if it's Aston - I hope it is! )

    Sad I don't have 2 more tyres of this type then I could try to make this mod as well to my RC 9395. The V6 goes under the hood almost without changing the dimensions -

    Just supported this on cuusoo... It has 100 supporters now :) Really clever mechanics.

    8066 and 9391... Hope to get 8069 next week. + about 140 used parts from my gfs brother's drawer and Sariel's book came early.

    I got my 8043 in august and it had V2 receivers. Also, in July I wrote to LEGO about lifespan of 8070 and 8043 and they answered me that they will probably be in production till the end of this year, so yes... not long left. About the value of the set - if I remember correctly, 8043 is like top3 set in rebrickable, so I think many people already has it, so the price jump might not be so huge, but still, if I had funds and good offer of ~180 EUR, here in Latvia, I would grab one and put it somwhere deep and safe to avoid wanting to unpack it :)

    Ok, there are no more gear cracking in the back and everything works very smooth Here's picture of the new gear arragement with reinforcements:

    Looks like recreation of legendary claw-rig or 9397 mod

    Ok, I can report for some sucess in my first more serious MOC (or MOD) now My 9395 is now RC, and I have managed to keep the original looks for I guess, 90% wich is in my opinion - a great sucess and achievement of the goal I had in my mind when starting this project. The fake engine in the front is V6 now and the roof is in an angle to make the truck look more "aerodynamical" I guess It has 4-M motors - two for drive, one for steering and one for functions controlled via switch manually. At this point, I guess I have to somehow optimize the powertrain in the rear - each motor gives it's power through two 8T, two 16 T and a 20T to in the mid of the car mounted 24T wich is connected to another 20 wich turns the diff. So the gear ratio is 2,5:1 or 3:1 (I am not sure where it should be measuered ). There are some cracking sounds while switching the driving direction... probably because I didn't use an adder and because the 8T are moving a bit on their axles. I'll report if I am succesful.

    After about 30 hours of trial and error, I have successfully made my 9395 RC mod chasiss. The design still has to be finished It has 1-M motor for steering, 1-M motor for lift and winch functions, controled manually via switch and 1-M motor for driving. Ofc, the v6 engine moves with the truck. The steering mechanism has the return to center brick. I abandoned the concept of having the drive motor side by side with the steering motor. I mounted the functions and steering motor under the truck's cab and squeezed the drive motor side by side to the function changover gears in the right side of the truck - As I secured all the axles that are involved in any of the motorized functions - nothing cracks or trembles anymore and everything works smoothly. I'll try to post a video once I get my hands on proper camera. Also, I'll try to make photo instructions later.
