This MOC was built after 2 other attempts, 2 years ago and these didn't work. (I can explain a little the reasons if someone is interested) The design was difficult to do because of the round shapes. But I think the result is so good. You tell me ! The functions are : Left track Right track Blade Rotation of the turret 1st section of the arm 2nd section of the arm Moving the bucket Rotation of the arm (right/left) Opening/closing the clamp (pneumatic) All the functions are powered by M motors, except the rotation of the turret. But there are 9 functions, and it is possible to control just 8 functions with the IR system. How it's possible ? It's quite simple ! A gearbox allows to choose between "rotation of the arm" or "opening/closing the clamp". The chassis is very compact. It has 4 motors and 1 IR ! The mechanism of the rotation of the turret is not visible (the turret is too compact ! ^^) The rotation is quite fast (not too slow). Here you can see the motor actioning the 1st section of the arm. The motors of the 2nd section of the arm and the bucket are placed inside the arm. The last motor is placed in the middle of the chassis. It actuates the gearbox and you can choose the function to activate. With the clamp, there are a bucket and forks. -
Here is my idea for this comp. My excavator a going to be as small as I can get it with all functions inside of it so no external hose and pump. I'm not going to base it on a particular model but just get it to resemble something like one in general. I've started with the boom and dipper arm so here is my first concept, maybe it will stay like it but its early stages. Its 2 studs wide. The biggest challenge is the 3 studs of extension from the small cylinders and getting them to achieve more than that. Boom and dipper arm raised Boom and dipper arm reached down And Bucket to body All thoughts welcome. -
Hi guys! Herre is my entry for the pneumatic contest. It's a volvo wheeled excavator. I was not really happy witthe new volvo excavator o I have decided to make my own Fonctions are: (Frame) HOG at the rear of the chassis; Rear stabilizers; Front blade (Turret) PF pneumatic pump operated by m motor First boom section (large pneumatic cylinder) Second boom section (large pneumatic cylinder) Bucket (Medium pneumatic cylinder) Here are the pictures: I hope you like this if you have any questions don't hesitate to post! Have a good day! -

Hi! After completing my Swingloader Mk III, I haven't had a lot of time to build something big, so I tried my hands on something small instead. I made this a couple of days ago, trying to get a lot of technical (albeit simple) features into a small package! I tried to make it a scale comparable to that of this years' constructon crew set, and here it is next to that set's excavator Most of the features are explained in the next picture, except the second stage of the dipper, which is lifted manually. Here is an underside shot, showing the track extending mechanism. Not the sturdiest of designs, but more than enough. Higher resolution images can be found in my Bricksafe folder I will be making an LDD file, if anyone is interested.. Lastly, I actually made a video BEFORE making the topic, so here you go, showing all features (I think) -
So, I decided I'd take the plunge and attempt the zorex-220 build from the uber designer that is Jurgen Of JTC... And so I bought his instructions and after spending almost 7 hours sorting out my spare parts and realising that I had to cannibalise my 42006 and my modified red excavator ( the one with the weird dipper set up from like 2009, I forget the set number) I discovered I had about 90% of the parts... A few stops to some parts sites and a stop by WASSERMANS shop as recommended on here for a 8878 rechargeable batt pack, once my orders arrive il be in a position to start building it.... Il upload some pictures as and when I'm building, but however, can someone help with picture sizing guidelines etc to keep me out of the Mods firing line please... Word of warning on the upcoming build...I'm not a stickler for sticking to certain colours, so I'm just prewarning you guys, I know some of you are purists and pick up on tiny details ;) so be warned! Take care guys :) Gareth

Hello again! I made a small moc some time ago, but I didn't had time to publish it (due the buzy weeks at school). It's al little pneumatic creation (my first fully pneumatic), with 4 functions: A 3-section boom and a little backfill blade. Naturally it works with 4 valves. For the air pressure, I used 1 external big, manual pneumatic pump, because I didn't want that the model included batteries or other electric parts. Off course you can make an external electric pump. It was a challenge to hide all the tubes in a small space. And to end, a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSIAocu7w2g Please tell me what you think and how I can improve it! If there should be enough interest in instructions, I can make them. Greets, Fresko -
Please note: this is not my creation I was aimlessly looking at Lego Technic stuff on youtube and came across this: I haven't found it on here, but I thought you guys would be interested to see the mechanisms, as they look very complex for such a small model , plus the fact it looks so cool It is also vote-able on cuusoo: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/22356 Thoughts? -
Recently I had the idea that I can use the camera while building. I decided to make a video with pictures taken during the build. I used the Canon EOS 550D and EOS Utility. First I built 42011. I made about 450 photos. This is the result of this operation: Another set was 42006 Excavator. In this case, I made a 1450 photos. The mistake I made was half the battery. In the film, if you can not see when I take out the battery and Stand the tripod. Photos were taken at night with a fluorescent lamp. A little strange being built with the knowledge that the picture is taken every 5 sec and you have to take your hands :). Significantly increases the time to build if you shoot images. Here is the result: I think to build all the sets in this way. For sure I have to build 42000 and 9396.
