Hello ppl, I'm new here and I wanted to share the mod I've done to the 42006. When I got it, it only took a few minutes before I noticed how much empty space there was in this model. Secondly, it's really boring when not using motor(s). So it only took 2 minutes before I added a motor. When kids started playing with it I saw how still boring it was, flipping those selectors back and forth. At once I started modding it. A big challange for me, was to only use 4 motors. Why? Cause as you all know, you can only use 8 motors at the same time and having 2 kids, we have this "golden rule", that they have 2 channels (4 motors) each ;) Since I really love the design, I tried to stick to changing as little as possible on it. Don't think it's possible to do that if you wanna have all 4 motors in the main chassi, so, I decided to live with the "flaw" of having 2 motors and hence the batteries in the bottom, which due to the cable limits the turntable to not spin forever. So I did put a stop in the front, so turret (is that what you call it?) can only turn 180 in each direction - which is oki if you plan ahead when "digging" ;) So, I have 2 motors in the bottom for the tracks and 2 motors in the main turret. 1 motor controlling a 4 function sequential gearbox, changing between: Turntable, arm base, arm mid and finally the claw. The 2nd motor in the turret of course powers all these 4 functions. Please, check out my video on youtube and let me know what you think ;) All feedback is welcomed.
