  1. I would not say that this is funner than Efferman's driving skills,but I will share it your anyway.
  2. I made one for my excavator sometime ago,you may like it better.....
  3. I am not a fan of the color,but apart from that it looks great.
  4. Good video,watching it I am wondering what it is that you don't like? Ok so the extending boom is a rather interesting design.... (any one else wonder if the designers though about making a longer pneumatic ram for that job?) But apart from the extending boom it looks like it's a great set....
  5. Nice Ferris wheel,well done on being front-paged.
  6. I have that set along with the 8436 which you can also build the tow truck arm,that set is also fully pneumatic.
  7. Watching the video of your segway, there seems to be a quite a long gap between movement of the joystick and any movement of the machine.Can this be improved any more?
  8. Welcome to Eurobricks Chris.
  9. I am still looking forward to getting the model,at least any faults in it will give us builders the chance to make some improvements to the set.
  10. For only £150 uk pounds it sure has tons of parts. Mind you it only has one L motor in the model compared to the crawlers 3 motors and receivers.
  11. I drove both the telehandlers at my old work....cool machines,but I prefer operating diggers. I also have a model manitou,so it should be easy to understand how to go about such a mod. I just hope there is enough room to add two small La's and the required gearing..... Blakbird do you know of a cad file for the 8295 telehander? I can't seem to find one either in MLcad or LDD.
  12. I like the design of the grab on the 42006 excavator,it is a very simple but effective design.
  13. Most if not all telehandlers have small hydraulic rams at the back of the arm,maybe there is room to add two small rams at the back of the 8295?
  14. I am going to have to disagree with you there,I find the crane much nicer.
  15. You could have the vales at the bottom of the back cab window. It would be cool if you could squeeze a motorized compressor into the machine too.
  16. Nice start. I think you need to make a cab of some sort to enhance the look of the machine.
  17. Experiencing gearbox problems.....

  18. Not that are clear enough to show anything....but maybe Milan will explain his idea in better detail. He uses these hinged plates below to make a circle to which he adds the guide wheels via technic bricks.
  19. You could use the older style Universal joint, the wheels would have to be moved out by another stud on ether side.
  20. Hello Cheeze.... Fellow Eurobrick's member Milan came up with this idea for a reinforced turntable: I would mount the turntable upside down on top of this.
  21. I have to be honest and say that the crane truck is a poor set in terms of it's playability, the crane is useless when it come to lifting . If you have the unimog and the logging truck why do you not try and make your own crane truck?
