I like your backhoe You have found a clever way of making bigger wheels ,i am not to sure on the rear backacter it seems a bit to long and thin (the first part of the boom). Your video is blocked on copyright terms.

Milan if you like you can send me some pics and i can make a cad file of your actuators.

I think you will need to get a mindstorms of some sort and then set a time you want it to run for,i think you will need a mindstorms block any way if your cars are going round corners.

Ok It still needs work done to get it working (i think i wired it up wrong) . It has 2 small pumps in it (stepped),i know it is a bit week and would be better if you mount the pumps somewere else but this is fine for me.

I have built it up,now i need to fit the compressor and the battery box in it,should not take me too long.

Has any one not tried nxt with pneumatics? thay have servo motors dont thay?

I would like to have a go my self but it is in bits at the moment. I just checked the instructions and you should be able to fit a compressor were the fake engine is,removing the pumps should leave you with enough space for the battery box you may need a valve as well but fitting this should not be to hard.

Thay are various different desgns floating around the web: Made by seriel I like to gear it up a bit as it is a bit slow for me.

Sorry i ment the whole thing (what the seat and the switches are mounted onto) A wee doodle

Yes liking the seat you could mount a turntable under the yellow plates to give a rotating seat.

How many studs might i need to take out to make it look more to scale?

It's coming on well.

Is it a bird is it a plane ... no its a big white and red blob 'with a touch of black weighing in at over 2 kg .It drives slowly and the steering works ok, i hope once i add a bit of weight to the back it will be better at driving. I still need to finish the cab ,i am waiting for a order,i also ran out of red tiles at the back,then its the hock lift part its self,i think i will be spending £150 on just one skip. Thanks to Allanp for the drive and steering. I do realize it is a bit out of scale at this point am hoping that when it is done it will look better

Longer rams and pumps or just rams?

Em i had to watch this video twice once for the girl and another for 'thing' Any one else see that it uses a rip cord i wonder if any one suggested that here all ready?

As i have the 8455 myself and that muck older one also i can say the the 8455 is a great set,i dont think it needs longer pumps,but yes longer rams i think will be welcomed?

Looks great do you plane to take it to the 'paint shop' mayby some tiles could go on the top of the roof.

GuiliuG your my idol as well, but for everything.

I would slide off the side of it if i went over a bump ( it also looks like a booster seat the kind for kids) some of you may recognize the seats.

junkstyleGio You made a nice job of the sweeper i like you it disengages from the pto when you raise it.

Your doing a good job 2 or 3 things need tweaked. Your rear arm is still sagging but not as much as last time Your front grill is to big you need to make this smaller oh and the seat needs changed but dont worry about this now.

Welcome to the Eurobricks. GuiliuG nice truck.

Em sorry alan but i fell a sleep reading your reply ,are you thinking of a fly wheel or a rip cord?

Next month is when we get to vote for the AFOLS.

Thats for the working exhaust system he is going to be adding.
