User Created Technic Container Truck – Set 8052

June 29th, 2010

Lego Technic fan Barry Bosman has recreated the Lego Technic Container Truck (set 8052) from photos using currently available parts and colours.

This video explains how the one mechanism manages to both tip the body up, and to also offload the body. This is the main function of a Lift hook type vehicle. (see 1:33 > 2:00)

Many Lego fans have been trying to build simple Hook Lift lorry's for years without managing to recreate such a simple mechanism to both tip and offload.

B model for the Lego Technic Mobile Crane – set 8053

June 16th, 2010

Thanks to a Lego fan club in France we now have images of the alternative model (b model) for the Lego Technic Mobile Crane (set 8053). The b model is a harbour crane!

And in case you missed it, another Lego Technic fan from France has managed to recreate the main model from photos.

From this you can see the unusual outrigger style.  On the full scale cranes this type of layout is normally reserved for the biggest mobile cranes.

Also available ton the site is a comparison with the previous Lego Technic mobile crane, and also the latest Lego City Mobile Crane

You can find the build review here - http://atixnaid.free.fr/?p=360 and the google transalation in English here

Lego Technic Crane Truck (8258) – £103 from Argos

March 28th, 2010

Now that the Lego Technic Crane Truck (8258) has been out for 6 months I though I'd better buy the set before it sells out. On checking a few retailers I found a bargin price of £103.91 at Argos UK here.

The next cheapest is Amazon at £125 - a saving of at least £20.

Whilst it's not available for home delivery from Argos it does appear to be available at most shops.   Normally when Argos discount Lego Technic it usually means they've run out of stock and it's shortly to be discontinued from the catalogue.

Lego Technic Linear Actuator Load Test

March 21st, 2010

While browsing YouTube I came across a load test video for the Technic Linear Actuators. From the video we can see they can push up to 3.6kg of pressure before the internal clutch kicks in.  The internal clutch prevents the actuators from being damaged.  Without them an XL motor could cause the actuators to destroy themselves.

Hi Resolution image of the Lego Technic 8043 Excavator

January 11th, 2010

lego-technic-8043-excavator-bigA new higher resolution picture of the Lego Technic Excavator has been published on Eurobricks.  The photo was taken from a trade toy catalogue for upcoming toys in 2010.

This image clears up some of the previous confusions about this model but raises more.

First of all the model does use the standard PF Remote control units.  Notice that the right hand level has a red connector on it.  This has led to speculation that it controls some kind of switching unit to convert some of the motor power from one function to another.

The model supposedly has have 4 motors.  By the look of the gears next to the tracks, it looks like the tracks will be powered.  There's also 3 sets of Linear Actuators and the model also rotates.  So that makes 6 "functions" - so how can this be done with only 4 motors?

It's possible that the right hand lever controls one motor connected to some kind of gear box.  In one gear the remaining 3 motors control the left and right tracks, and also the rotation of the model.  In the other gear the 3 motors control the boom, stick and bucket.  By doing this it means that 2 of the motors have to traverse the turntable in the middle - not something that's ever been done in a Lego Technic set before.  The rotation could be powered from either the upper part of the model or the bottom.

By the looks of it the picture is actually a computer generated image rather than a true photo.  Some detail is lacking.  An example of this is the 2 LA's that lift the boom.  If they are really geared in this way one LA will go up, the other will go down.  To work, both LA's would have to be geared from the same side.  The LA's also look longer than they should be - either it's a trick of the image or they're a new part.
