Hi! Today I’d like to show you my experiments with a Technic set 8436 from 2004. The truck has no complex mechanisms but the set has its glory due to a number of different pneumatic rigs. Another interesting feature – the model has an even width like the sets from 90th, but it is built out of modern Technic beams that have an odd length. And I really like the look of the truck. You can take a closer look at this rarity set, here is my detailed review:
Since the truck is pretty simple, I decided to motorized it and I did it in two different ways. The first model contains five CADA micro-motors and as a result – some interesting extra functions like independently working fake engine and tiltable cabin.
The second version has only two functions and three motors: Power Functions servo-motor for steering and two BuWizz buggy-motors for rear-wheel drive (slow output).
And as a promised bonus – a detailed review of the CADA micro-motor. I’ve been waiting something like this since the appearance of the Power Functions system, but unfortunately 9V micro-motors from 90th hadn’t got a substitution in the new system.
Thanks for watching :)
