suffocation

Migros always have 30% off all toys in October, November and March

I'd like RC drive & steering, with all the other functions motorised à la 42082 (and many more). There should be enough room to move the side outriggers forward and squeeze in a six-function distribution gearbox; another four can be crammed into the crane.

Maybe the central diff locks automatically when shifting from high to low gear.

Nailed it The one redeeming thing about the set is that it helps round out the orange palette on B&P. That's pretty much it

Brilliant work! The colour combo is really nice, too.

Now that's one gorgeous studless replica

Not big on cars but I'm big on blue and this one is beautifully crafted

Wow, this is amazing I like both bonnets but if I had to pick one I'd go with the JK.

Hi Aleh! I just thought it looked better with the tractor tires

Thanks for the kind words, guys Unfortunately not. I might make a second full RC version to keep the drivetrain shorter and deliver more power - that should give them enough strength to lift the whole thing.

She's a beauty! Is that regular orange (42056)?

Been working on a fantasy crane truck very loosely based on a Kamaz I saw on Rebrickable. The idea is to have RC drive (1 PF XL) & steering (1 PF M) and motorised crane/outrigger functions (probably 1 PF XL). A previous attempt had live axle suspension but came out far too brittle. I've got the truck more or less figured out; the crane is still up in the air (no pun intended).

I think you've done a great job

Love it!

Loved the Arctic sets! Really glad you're recreating this set with a modern twist.

Definitely looking forward to this set; it should also be a great parts pack.

See 8043, 8258 & 42070.

Coming along beautifully

Looks really good! And the two idler gears fit in just perfectly, giving the set that extra pop.

Reboot.

One of my childhood favourites Really looking forward to your studless take.

Looking forward to this - 8848 was one of my favourites as a kid.

Lovely clean, compact design

Beautiful model Love all the functions and aesthetic details.

Awesome mod! I'd love to see some pics of the internals.
