Thank you for the gear clash mod I was just building this part when I found your post so didn't have much to strip to employ your fix.īTW the Yellow part is identical in size regardless of colour but I'm sure most know that.Ĭould I be the oldest reborn Logoist? at 58 And also thank you for the perfect instructions which gives you a very enjoyable building experience. RC mobile crae)Ĭonclusion: Thank you Juergen for this awesome MOD which hauls up the crane to another and much higher level. (all pics can be found in my bricksafe folder. But nevertheless they slightly improve an already excellent model.

All of these MODs a very small and light. better bracing og the orange L-motor for boom extraction: adding some more support for the heavy crane and its mounting plate: anyway: it has no costs, it is easy and it has no disadvantages.ĥ. This is already useful with the original 2 receiver design of the truck but with my switches replacement it is essential because the cables of the switches needs slightly more space. This ensures that the crane can not touch the cables at the receiver and the switches of the truck when slewing more >= 180 degree. i have mounted the crane one stud backward - this can be done very easily: my fix above eliminates the problem - at least there is no parts collision anymore (but i assume the design would still be judged illegal by lego) - aynway: now it works.Ĥ.

In the original design this yellow pin connector collides with the DBG 24th gear which drives the LAs. fix for the part-collision problem described some postings above: slightly longer engine bay so the receiver, the switches and the cables are better "hidden":ģ. Anyway: the two switches are very easy to integrate - just one important remark: on the pic above you see that the switches are in a row with the receiver (in the backward direction) this is important because otherwise (if they would be in a row in the frontward direction) they would be one stud longer backward than the receiver and would therefore prevent the crane from endless slewing! for this see also 4.

And IMHO this fits better the real live usage, because normally the crane driver operates the outriggers with a cable remote control.you think this is a contradiction? no, IMO it isn't: The lego RC is the replacement for the driver in the crane cabins whereas the lego PF-switches simulates the outrigger cable remote control of the real machine. I did this mostly to save one receiver and one sender (which are more important for other cool MOCs -). (the most prominent one): i have replaced RC-ing of the outriggers by two PF-switches: Nevertheless i have applied some small MODs to this MOD:ġ. Strong recommendation for all owners of the 42009 Cause of the plethora of additional PF-stuff it is a very expensive MOD but IMHO it is worth every cent. Great playability (in contrary to the original crane which has mediocre playability). and it is very well designed, you have admirable building and designing skills - i had really much fun when building it - the resulting model works like a charm and performs very well - the XL has no problems to drive this heavy model. Juergen: kudos to you for this awesome model :thumbup: :thumbup: - IMHO it's more a MOC than a MOD. Just finished this ultimate mobile crane:
