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.

Video of actual Lego Technic Excavator – 8043

May 24th, 2010

An actual video of the new Lego Technic Excavator 8043. A Lego fan club in France managed to get hold of 3 of the models and build them up in record time.

And here's a picture of the 4 medium motors in the gear box. The left hand motor switches the other 3 motors via clutches.

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.

Review of Lego Technic Crane Truck – Set 8258

July 27th, 2009

8258-03The first detailed review of the Lego Technic Crane Truck has appeared - although sadly it's written in French!

http://www.setechnic.com/review-lego-technic-8258.html

Google Translated pages - Not 100% accurate, but enough for you to get the gist of the review

The review is split in 7 sections

  • Information
  • Design
  • Features
  • Content
  • My Opinion
  • Photos
  • Video

From the YouTube video of the model we can see a good overview of how it works.

My first impression is that the stabiliser legs look very flimsy.  On previous crane models the legs have actually raised the model of the ground.  There appears to be a lot of "play" in in the crane boom.  It would have been good to motorise the winch in some way, and to maybe have a motorised extension of the boom.  Rather disappointed that the crane arm doesn't extend much beyond the base of the model.

So will I be buying it?  I'll probably wait till it's available from Amazon and buy it as part of a bigger order.

Lego Technic Crane Truck Advert on YouTube

July 14th, 2009

The Lego Technic team have uploaded the official advert to Youtube. The model in the video actually looks quite large until you see the size of the kid!

The first Crane truck has also appeared on eBay here.  It'll be interesting how much it finally sells for.  As can be seen it's about the same price as the online Lego Shop!
