This one not good? Looking at it, it does seem a bit on the short side.

What about copying the 8109 tail lift mechanism for 'under-car-lift' part?, i do not have the set yet so i can't say if you could fit it in,but its a thought.

Right oh,off to see what i can come up with.

Welcome to Eurobricks.

Welcome to the forum.

I have been using it in the last few videos i have made.

Great mod Efferman.

Best wishes for next year.

Great excavator,I like how you used nxt motors for the valves.It looks just like the real thing what a great end to the year.

I have a tripod now.

I am glad you like it. You need to work on your jokes Tim that is my real name ,I will have a look and see would i can come up with,athough the post that Smrgol posted has a rc mod in it but i don't know if there is clear instructions on how to do this? Edit Here is Efferman's instructions for his rc mod (pdf). Download

In what way do you mean david? Just pneumatic lowering,or lowering and extend/retract?

Ah ok,back to the drawing board.

Welcome to Eurobricks.

I tried different sizes of bands but the resistance was not strong enough to return to the center.

It will not return to center,i don't think it is the size of band that is the problem.

Here you go Dikkie Klijn. Audi

Thats a very simple gearbox.

Well to sum up this year for me i love the unimog and 8109 tow truck,next year looks quite poor i hope i get the log loader truck that looks the best for me so far. In terms of mocs and mods:

Would you be able to make a quick cad of just the steering mechanism,i tried building it and it would not work (the return to center part).

You should try it,how ever i far that it would just drop after the rocket engines.

Any more photos? It looks good so far.

I also think it is a great model i am very happy with it.
