February 1, 201510 yr I also think the grabber claw doesn't work well for the B model. Something like 8053 B model would be nice.
February 1, 201510 yr That is what I was excepting for the B-Model, but I am not sure that I like it. If I build that, im definitely going to have to moc that bad boy up
February 2, 201510 yr Well, at the very end of the video we can see for a bit the rear of the crane box were we can see the tower crane pic.. All in all i think would be great to have such a crane..even if i previously wrote it's orrible
February 2, 201510 yr Best video yet, great quality! (he talks in German) I can translate :D Interesting, he says the pneumatic system is 2.0 because it is 'more flowing' or smoother than the previous product. Edited February 2, 201510 yr by BachAddict
February 2, 201510 yr Anyone know why he demonstrates the cabin tilting up? Is there a function hidden in there?
February 2, 201510 yr Anyone know why he demonstrates the cabin tilting up? Is there a function hidden in there? By tilting up the trucks cabin you can have a look at the L6 engine, that's basically it.
February 2, 201510 yr Oh, I didn't know it had a L6 engine. I can't see it in any of the videos. Where is it exactly? By tilting up the trucks cabin you can have a look at the L6 engine, that's basically it.
February 2, 201510 yr Anyone know why he demonstrates the cabin tilting up? Is there a function hidden in there? Tilting the cabin is the function. For large cranes the cabs can tilt to enable a better view for the operator
February 2, 201510 yr Wrong thread, guys... Unless I missed the part where the crane cab tips? Spieletest video @ 1:24 shows him tilting the cab of the crane
February 3, 201510 yr The crane looks like a IHI CCH500, with the right-hand cab. I am looking forward to what the ultimate 42042 will look like, picture full IR and a 2 meter+ boom and jib. Edited February 4, 201510 yr by Karle
February 4, 201510 yr It looks like the new turntable has no teeth at the inside. You can see that in the last video I think.
February 4, 201510 yr I would love a better look at the tracks, inside and outside. As well as a good peek inside with the cab lifted up to see the engine and turntable. Thank you. ;)
February 4, 201510 yr This mock-up gives an impression of my plans with the 42042: How much taller is your design? also, is that an ultimate build??
February 5, 201510 yr In the other thread about the Mercedes Truck, there was quite a few exchanges/speculations about the new turntable in that truck. One wonders if this crane is also fitted with the same LARGE turntable. My calculations, based on a picture in the other thread, suggest that the turntable has anywhere from 64 to 72 teeth, whereas others are guessing only 60 (In contrast, the current large turntable has 56 teeth). Anyone spotted 'details' about the turntable in the crane's videos? Edited February 5, 201510 yr by DrJB
February 5, 201510 yr How much taller is your design? also, is that an ultimate build?? Not sure about the height of my version yet, I'm planning a jib similar to the 8288 A-model which will add quite a bit of height as well. Normally my MOCs and MODs are stripped of PF and RC functions, because I prefer manual power and control for various reasons. This time however, I wanted to keep the battery box as a counterweight, and therefore I kept the PF motor as well. But if you look for a fully PF and RC crane, I have to disappoint you. I will make a separate topic for this MOD/MOC in due time.

February 6, 201510 yr I've been busy reverse engineering this bad boy. I can say for sure the turntable is the same size and has the same connection points as the old one. This looks like the new turntable to me.
February 6, 201510 yr There are more than 25 (maybe 30) 1x15 beams in blue. Thats a lot. There are a minimum of 30 15L beams and 19 7L beams in blue. So far the colors seem to be: 15L Blue 13L DBG, White 11L Blue, DBG, Black 9L LBG 7L Blue, White 5L Black 3L Blue, white 2L DBG 1L DBG. (New ring) Angled beams come in blue and white.
